ScoutTN Posted November 8, 2023 Author Share Posted November 8, 2023 (edited) I am enjoying my coffee and the quiet house, trying not to be overwhelmed by life today. Just ordinary stuff, nothing dramatic, but it feels like a lot sometimes, kwim? Today: Laundry ✔️ Pick up milk ✔️ Tutor one student ✔️ YNAB ✔️ Check in with credit card bank about fraud. See if I can do a password reset on my mom’s Amazon acct. Print some financial stuff for mom. ✔️ Work on how to help Ds with school/grades. 🙄☹️ Prep lesson for tonight. ✔️ Church - work on Sunday school things, have dinner, do children’s ministry. Think about other stuff that needs to happen this week: make appt with an attorney to get our wills and POA updated, painting Ds’ room, bday stuff for Dh next week, more helping mom, check in with Dd about course registration, piano, job, and Christmas plans.

mommyoffive Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Sending some hugs this morning @ScoutTN. I was overwhelmed with life on Sunday. Same nothing big going on, just some days it seems like it is to big of a mountain to climb 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 (edited) Yes, @mommyoffive and @ScoutTN, sometimes life can get overwhelming! It usually feels like that the most for me when I've taken on a bit too much. I forgot I have to take food to my bible study class tonight. People usually always bring homemade things. Any quick, good ideas? I will make spiced pecans, and I do have time to run to the grocery store after 3. 5 Zoom sessions grocery store for dinner stuff and snacks for my class church prep for tomorrow (mostly precalculus) watch something and relax Edited November 8, 2023 by mom31257 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommyoffive Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Most of my day will be spent attending to the new puppy. When I say puppy he is 1 year old 57lb dog. He came from a home but he really does not know much at all. I have never seen such a hyper dog. He never sits still ever. The entire day he is walking/running miles around our house. Our older dog is not super keen on him so they need constant supervision. I am pretty sure that this will be my to do list for the next few years. 🙂 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeAgain Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 What kind of dog is it, @mommyoffive? I've had that sort of dog. LOL I love meeting them on walks now, but they are exhausting to take home! My walking buddies have learned that one thing I will consistently provide is the sort of physical pressure they tend to crave, squeezing up against me to get firm pets or squeezing between my legs to get head scratches. It tends to calm them for about......20 seconds. 😄 On today's list: exam has been moved to a due date of Saturday evening. That gives me time to study more. It's online, but essay questions study for test tomorrow dissect an eyeball take ds to a skills class gas up my car knit one ornament 10,000 steps? We'll see. Tomorrow looks to be brutal and today is gearing up for it dinner: whatever ds wants for his, and a couscous/spinach salad for myself. I got a behavior report from ds's adult leader this morning after an email was sent out last night about some unsavory behaviors from some in the group. He is respectful, attentive, and a pleasure to be around....but a tad anxious? Leader is slightly worried that he's too quiet. I need to find a way to tell him that this is truly ds's best, and the anxiety is just part of it now. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to find a way to tell him that this is truly ds's best, and the anxiety is just part of it now. He is a purebred Weimaraner, the exact same breed of dog we lost in June. They were both purebreds rescued from the shelter. Anyway he is nuts. Dh is the only one who went to meet him and brought this nut job home. If I would have been there I would have said no after seeing him as he never stops moving, never naps. I hope in like 7 years he will slow down! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Happy Wednesday! Today I'm having lunch with an old friend I haven't seen in years. Unfortunately, the time will be limited since I'm borrowing a car, but it should be nice. Done: Late night work and laundry. Slept a bit. Kids off to school on time, yay! Took out the garbage. Let the dog out & played with him. A little reading & cleaning. Sent out a little bit of client work. To do: Shower. Meet friend. More client work. If possible, put laundry away before the kids get home (because someone complains if I enter her bedroom when she's there). Eat fruit, eat veggie, take vitamins, drink water, yoga etc., walk, etc. Read more news. Whatever else gets done. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HomeAgain Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Eyeball AND sheep's brain dissected, studied, and trashed. I gassed up the car on the way home. Lunch was decidedly very vegetarian. So will dinner. One ornament finished, two left to do for the whole batch to be done. I'll take ds to skills soon and study while I'm there. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 The lunch with my friend was so nice. We hope to do it at least a couple times a year going forward. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Classes are done, and I went to the store. I made the chocolate toffee cracker candy, and it is in the freezer. I'm softening butter to make some oatmeal scotchies. I'll make the spiced pecans last. I still need to get a shower and make dinner, too. Thankfully, class isn't until 7. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoutTN Posted November 9, 2023 Author Share Posted November 9, 2023 Home from church. Dinner was yummy and class was good. Folded some laundry and put chicken tenders in the oven. Banished to my room while Ds practices his monologue for theater class. Henry Vl, Act 5, scene 5, Suffolk. Listening from down the hall….😉🤣🤭 It was due today and he wasn’t prepared, but everyone couldn’t go today so he has a reprieve. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommyoffive Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 @history-fan sending good thoughts to your pup and to your ds. I hope his surgery goes well. I am having a break down because of a lot of little stressors. The main one being this new dog. I may like him later, but right now i do not and he is a huge amount of work every second of the day. I just want to only have 1 dog. This is also the worst possible time to have a new dog. We have so much going on and do not have the time to do this. One kid feels like they might be getting sick. Found out all our personal info was hacked. I lost one of the kiddo's passport. We got charged by a buck 2 nights ago and almost rearend by a huge pickup truck at the same time. I have eaten way too much chocolate today. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted November 9, 2023 Author Share Posted November 9, 2023 @mommyoffive Yikes! That’s a lot!! Can your Dh return the dog? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommyoffive Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Just now, ScoutTN said: @mommyoffive Yikes! That’s a lot!! Can your Dh return the dog? I do not think so. He was going to call, but I don't know if he did. It is annoying because this shelter changed a few of their polices that would have helped. They no longer let people bring in their dogs to meet a dog they are thinking of adopting. They said it is stressful. Well these 2 did not get along from the second they met. And they used to allow you to put a hold on an animal and go home and think about it. That would have helped. I am just emotionally drained, and I have no thoughts on how to get filled up again right now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom31257 Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 @history-fan, I'm sorry about your pup and the surgery for your son! Praying for you! @mommyoffive, that is a lot to be dealing with! Pray you can get something figured out with the dog and the other situations will be taken care of quickly! Our class had fewer people tonight, and I heard some were out with sickness. I made way too much food, but dh can take a lot of it to school tomorrow. I cleaned up the kitchen since I left it in such disarray. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
