HomeAgain Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Good morning! Dh is letting ds stay home from his half day today, so no before-school routine. For me: bake cookies wrap gifts shop for dh's stocking and maybe one more gift clean up the yard if we still have daylight when I get done with the rest. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildflowerMom Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Good morning! ds’ wallet got stolen overnight from his unlocked car (where’s the headbanging emoji???) and I’ve been on the phone with discover canceling the card. The person tried to cashapp themselves from our discover card (ds has a credit card of ours) and thankfully, discover had already declined it. Ds was going to his first endocrinology appt at a new office this morning, so he had to call and reschedule that since he has no license, insurance card, nothing to pay the copay with. My shoulder and neck are tightened up now, so I guess a migraine will come on later from all this. Say a prayer for him. I know he’s about to lose it. At least he goes in to work in a minute so it’ll take his mind off it and he can talk to an older guy at work who’s like a mentor to him. I need to take out the meats today for the taco bar on Sunday to thaw. clean up around the house laundry supper? Maybe sandwiches and soup? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeAgain Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Oh, no, @WildflowerMom! That sucks, and right before the holidays, too. I mean, there's no good time, but these things always seem to happen at the worst possible moment. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildflowerMom Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Ds is talking with the cops now. The person who stole it just used it an hour ago. They used it multiple times now. Of course, as of a few minutes ago, it’s canceled. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoutTN Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 @WildflowerMom I am so sorry! That kind of thing is SO frustrating! Especially this time of year. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 (edited) I am enjoying my coffee and thinking about how to divide the to-do list between today and tomorrow. Shower ✔️ Check on mom ✔️ Costco ✔️ Wrap large gifts ✔️ Print something for a gift - needs a card/envelope. Get a magazine, part of a gift Call the pharmacy? Bake macaroons? Dinner is swordfish, potatoes, green peas, and salad. I think. Edited December 22, 2023 by ScoutTN 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Howdie, happy Friday! Are we glad it's Friday, or are we stressed out? Or both? I got up early to send out some urgent client reports. Glad that's done. Now what other client emergencies will arise today? Or will I be able to trim my email inboxes? I didn't clean much yesterday. I was too tired. Plus, I was told our maid was not coming today because she has the flu. BUT at 9:10am today I was told she's better, she's coming this morning, and if she doesn't get paid today she will lose her car! Merry Christmas! I am fighting (and ashamed of) my judgmental urges. We agreed that she will get an advance today but come and clean tomorrow. My kids and one housemate are traveling back from Dallas today. Should be gone throughout the "work day," so hopefully I can focus. They both have homework to do once they return. Well as I've been typing, a client emergency already arose. LOL anyhoo .... To do: Lots of client work! Yoga etc. Eat fruit, veggies, take vitamins, drink water. A little reading. Try to walk the dog while it's light out. Clean during work breaks. Buy a Christmas tree. Dinner out. Whatever else gets done. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildflowerMom Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Took a nap, but ds texted and woke me up, which is fine. He was feeling upset about the wallet and needed to talk. Weirdly, my mom texted before him, probably an hour, and I think I looked at the phone and completely disregarded it. Something about your kid trying to get ahold of you and your senses go on high alert, I guess. Anyway, mother wanted to send me photos of my cousin’s daughter’s new apartment. It’s a lone pic of her sink and dishwasher. 🤣🙄 I won’t ever tell my mother this, but those type of (constant) texts drive me batty. I just don’t give a damn, you know? fixed a quick supper. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReader Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 I hope the wallet stuff gets sorted out! Yikes. Scout, still praying for your mom. I went to visit grandma, not for as long as I'd like, but, traffic. And rain. It was a good visit, though, so that was good. Picked up my last packet for the quilt project, bought a couple of other little things. Came home, DH & Middle were peeling pecans for me - yay!. Dinner is in the oven (DH is doing a prime rib roast, and made bread); I took a nap when I got home, and when I got up just now they all seem to have gone off on their 5K training walk so the house is quiet. I'm guessing tonight we will eat and watch TV and stuff. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoutTN Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Mom is in her AL facility. She is not getting the assistance she needs. And she’s depressed. Not doing PT, going to meals, participating in activities etc. I helped her some today and made sure she got staff help and left a phone message with an admin person. Gonna have to stay on the AL staff to set some better standards for care when mom is so helpless. Exhausting. Poor mom. Her life is pretty crummy and there’s not much I can do to make it better. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 (edited) Dinner was ok. Kitchen is tidy. Ds is watching a movie. Dh and Dd went out shopping for white elephant gifts. Tomorrow will be busy! I am not really getting much rest yet on Christmas Break. Y’all aren’t either, from your lists. I really just want 3-4 days to read books, not go out, and not cook. Moms don’t get vacation do they? Sorry for complaining!! Edited December 23, 2023 by ScoutTN 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildflowerMom Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Cleaned kitchen did some self care decided I’m going to throw the chicken in the crockpot early Sunday morning for the chicken part of the taco bar. It’s just going to make my life a little easier than trying to grill it all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
