ScoutTN Posted November 22, 2023 Author Share Posted November 22, 2023 (edited) My mom called me early in hysterics about needing to move out by 12:30 pm today. I reassured her that was not so, turned up the heat, and dozed for a while. Making coffee now. Kids are asleep. Dh went to Bible study and should be home soon. Today: Pick up milk ✔️ Deposit checks ✔️ Finish painting ✔️ Wash paint off the floor ✔️ Begin moving Ds’ stuff back in. ✔️ Go visit and help my mom. Take Ds, if possible. Text a friend about plans for tomorrow evening. ✔️ Check Ds’ work schedule. Dinner is coconut curry shrimp, rice, and green beans. Need limes and fresh basil.

TheReader Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 (edited) Glad you were able to calm your mom down, @ScoutTN! Today I have: ....coffee ....check if the kids actually turned in the assignment they were meant to turn in yesterday (make them do so, if not) ....find the recipe for the yams for tomorrow ....make the cranberry sauce for tomorrow so it can be chilling and such ....quilt????? ....wash the fabric I bought yesterday (there was a fire next to the shop, so everything is still smoky smelling, faint, but there) ....figure out what time we want to go to Ren Fest on Friday ....dinner tonight is eating out, DS is taking his GF (he doesn't drive, and she's younger/her parents are more conservative, so it's a "double date" with us) ....watch Lego Masters tonight (and if we are not done with Loki, finish that, too) ....do the school prep ahead stuff I didn't do yesterday ....veg out I think that's everything.

WildflowerMom Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 (edited) Yall, I do not want to do anything today. I went to bed at 6 something last night with a migraine. I have so much crap to do today to get ready for tomorrow. I’ve decided I’m not doing any of this for Christmas. I’m just done. I’ll make lasagna or something for ds and his gf for whenever they come for Christmas, but as for making anything else or holding a big Christmas here at my house, I am absolutely done. My neck still hurts and keeps pinching. I’m just freaking miserable. And I’m really pissy right now. ✅Grate cheese for Mac ✅Wash couch cover, dog bedding, ✅my bedding Vacuum living room, kitchen, dining ✅Make dressing (sauté pepper and onion, mix eggs, throw together), stick in fridge ✅Make sweet potatoes (mix everything, throw together, sans marshmallow), fridge ✅Pick up turkey ✅Thaw pecan pie ✅Fix deviled eggs ✅Prepare Mac n cheese, fridge ✅Blow off leaves outside Edited November 23, 2023 by WildflowerMom 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom31257 Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 @WildflowerMom, I'm sorry you feel so bad and have so much to do! Praying tomorrow is a better and enjoyable day! The second load is in the dryer, and a load of napkins and tablecloths is washing. Baked more cut-outs and ate a couple made from the leftover strips 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReader Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Hugs, @WildflowerMom! I hope the migraine effects dissipate soon so you are able to enjoy tomorrow. Is there anything on today's list that you can delegate? Leave until later? 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildflowerMom Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 I got all the food chores done for today. I’m telling dh to blow off the leaves. At some point I have to go pick up the stupid turkey. Things are washing. The laundry will take a while, but it’s fine, not a headache. I’m sitting down right now, drinking more coffee and about to grab a shower so I can run up the road for the turkey. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted November 22, 2023 Author Share Posted November 22, 2023 Errands done. Having more coffee and some real food before I jump back into painting. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReader Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Kids did not turn in their thing yesterday, but have done so now (well, the one who's up has done so) Peeled all the sweet potatoes for tomorrow, going to prep ahead what I can Cleaned up the living room which was a wreck 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildflowerMom Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 I went and picked up the smoked turkey and grabbed supper for dh and I. Just salads so I stuck them in the fridge. I went ahead and blew off the carport and sidewalk and front porch. Took out trash. Still need to vacuum, but I’ll probably just get dh to do that tomorrow right before everyone gets here. I’m not cooking like this again. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildflowerMom Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Dh is home. I told him I can’t do this again. He put a tens unit on my neck and now I’m sitting down. I did wipe my bathroom down real quick. The smoked turkey smells so good! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Ds slept in, so I made breakfast for lunch. The laundry is done. I still have a bit of cookie dough to bake, but I'll do that tonight. I made an oven schedule for tomorrow. I've worked on a tentative itinerary for our trip this weekend. Next up is cleaning. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildflowerMom Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 I'm sorry for complaining so much today. I went back and reread my posts and boy, I've whined today! Especially considering tomorrow is a day to be thankful, lol. 🤦🏻♀️ maybe tomorrow will be better--- it better be or y'all will be hearing me again! 🤣 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted November 22, 2023 Author Share Posted November 22, 2023 @WildflowerMom It is totally fine to let off steam here! We all have those bad days when it’s all just too much. I love smoked turkey! Where did you get yours? 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted November 22, 2023 Author Share Posted November 22, 2023 Well, Ds’ room is basically done. He can sleep in it tonight. The gray paint is greener than I like. Wanted something with a bluer tone. 😐 But it’s done now. No more painting for several, possibly many, years! We’ll see what it looks like in the sunlight tomorrow. Still have legos and keepsakes heaped in my LR to sort and organize before moving them back in. Done with all that for today! Feeling guilty that I didn’t get over to see my mom today. Next up: make dinner Not tackling anything except a book tonight! I did get to listen to a podcast while working this afternoon. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It saves a ton of time and energy just to let them do it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted November 23, 2023 Author Share Posted November 23, 2023 Watched The Emperor’s New Groove with my kids. Silly and cute. Ds is doing hilarious imitations of Cronk. Need to go rescue my laundry from the dryer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReader Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Everyone did end up going to dinner, which was fun. Glad we went! Came home, took the fabric out of the dryer and "folded" it DH is doing some of the other prep he needed to do -- cook the frozen pie that was requested, boil the eggs so Middle can make deviled eggs tomorrow, and cook some chicken we took out yesterday that didn't get cooked Heading up to finally finish Loki as soon as the pie comes out/chicken goes in the oven. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted November 23, 2023 Author Share Posted November 23, 2023 (edited) @TheReader Oh, deviled eggs! I might make some to take tomorrow night. Thanks for the idea! Dh snd I always need more not-carby foods at a gathering. Edited November 23, 2023 by ScoutTN 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 (edited) I forgot the last batch of cookies, so they are in the oven now. We are up to 13 for the meal, and dd’s gf will come after her family meal. We now have more friends than family coming. My sister can’t come from KY until next weekend, and my brother-in-law asked to stay home because we’ll get together next weekend, too. Ds has 3 friends from college coming because they couldn’t fly home so close to the semester’s end. I invited E and her family, too.
