TheReader Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 (edited) Good morning! Today I have: ....coffee ....prep a week ahead for school -- we have a LOT Of tournaments coming up, and I'll need that buffer ....go tutor my 2 Friday girls -- we'll be missing a few weeks as their main caregiver is going out of town for a few weeks ....come home, eat lunch ....make sure DS gets off okay - his GF is picking him up for a lunch date, now that her parents have decided they can "date" (now they both have licenses) ....go with DH to a fencing lesson he has Skipping this to nap/sew ....come home, try to get some sewing done ....tonight....not sure. I would love to sometime get more involved and go to "Nerd Nights" at our fencing club, but DH doesn't want to, so we won't. So figure out what we *are* doing here at home - probably board games here. Or maybe a movie. Have a good Friday!

mommyoffive Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 The sun is out today!! Last night tornadoes touched down and some bad storms came through. It altered our night, but we got through it safely. I think it is the first tornado in WI in Feb. Gotta get lots done today. The week was so busy and the house suffered because I was so busy. Sigh. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReader Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Glad you got through the storms safely, @mommyoffive! Got K & 1st prepped & ready for a week ahead - pausing to eat breakfast, etc, before I go tutor, and will finish up 2nd grade shortly DS leaves at 11:30, so DH will have to oversee that. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheReader Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 home from tutoring DH gave me an "out" to stay home instead of go w/him for his fencing lesson, so I'm staying home, napping, and will sew 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeLovePassion Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 On autopilot these days at school. Eldest is still having issues. A few things have been ruled out, we have one area that needs further investigation (labs, etc). And some imaging today to rule in/out the cause. Will grab pizza tonight after the appointment. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReader Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Praying, @LifeLovePassion; I hope the doctors figure it out soon. Seems like such a long time y'all've been dealing with this. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
history-fan Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 @mommyoffiveglad you made it through the storms- a tornado in February is a record. When I was out yesterday I was watching the clouds and even thought they looked like tornado clouds but figured couldn’t be since didn’t have the fronts. The beautiful spring weather has moved on. finally got old couch moved out of house. It’s in garage so now to get rid of it. the old Lowry organ is much heavier so may gut it inside before moving out. take pup to vet for heart worm test I need to remember a bag of tasty smelly treats. She’s been anxious lately around new people so hoping it goes well Relax tonight 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommyoffive Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 @history-fan Yes it is a record that I am not happy is being set. I know the weather report in the morning said it could happen, but I am surprised it did. Just makes it a longer season that we have to worry about them. We have had a bunch really close to us. I don't think we had any hail damage to our cars, so there is that. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 @LifeLovePassion I hope you all get some answers soon! Got new shoes; he decided haircut is unnecessary. Lunch with friends was fun. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted February 9 Author Share Posted February 9 @mommyoffive, so thankful you are okay! I'm sorry this makes it a concern for longer. Tornadoes are so scary! @LifeLovePassion, I'm sorry he is still dealing with issues and pray they can get it all resolved and treatment going that helps soon. I spent the day at the church, and I picked up dh from work. I just had a snack because I don't know how late we'll eat. I know we'll have Chick-fil-A for the volunteers. One of the local owner/operators goes to our church. Dh's getting a shower before we go back tonight. Ds and some of his fraternity guys are helping tonight and tomorrow morning with the cleanup, so I'll get to see him tonight. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

history-fan Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 @LifeLovePassionhope your medical team is able to get answers and develop a health plan for you ds. @mommyoffiveawesome news for ds. We live in a tornado area as well. Taught the kids since little how to watch the sky and seek shelter when needed. We used to watch The Twister Sisters the storm chasers and learned even more. Survived the vet visit. I brought lots of treats to keep her busy. She didn’t make a peep with the blood draw. So she’s in a protect my mom phase that we need to work on. Vet wasn’t too concerned said age appropriate. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReader Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 @mommyoffive - yay!!! Congrats to the kiddo!! We survived DS's first "date" (how is he, our youngest, the first one to go out on solo dates???) -- he got home about 20 mins late, so we talked about that. But, it went well, and that's done, so, yay. Got a lot of sewing done -- I had the strips cut already for the next fencing kiddo baby quilt, so sewed the first set together, cut those, sewed the second set, cut those, and sewed the 3 sections together to make the body of the quilt; the 4th section of strips becomes leaves to applique on, but that involves ironing on the fusible, etc. Remembered I need to bring sample transcripts, etc., for our Open House next week as I'm also on the College Prep panel. Ha. I'm not sure they really want me there...."so, my advice is, if your kid is at all unsure, take your time, don't push them, know that college isn't for everyone, protect their mental health....." Etc. ha!!! But, I shall go, having actually sent 2 homeschool kids to college (vs. many of the other teachers/directors, who are close to preparing for that, but not there yet). So, doing that while I grab a quick snack. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheReader Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 okay, updated DS's transcript, and printed some copies to pass out at the Open House. Not sure what else to take.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I really should do some work on my computer, but don’t feel like it. Dark, dreary rainy day sucks my energy away. Only one thing left today before I can relax in my pjs with a book. Ds is packed. Listening to a podcast. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeLovePassion Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 2-5 business days for imaging results. A longer lab test is scheduled for next Tuesday. Hoping it can guide treatment and the endocrinologist will be on board. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoutTN Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 How lovely it is to go to bed without an alarm set and knowing I can sleep til I wake naturally. Plenty to do tomorrow, but not stressed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReader Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Dinner was good - good chat with Middle, which was nice. Navigating all the ins & outs of parenting this kiddo....it's complicated. But I love my kiddo. The family went upstairs to play video games after dinner, so I restarted my solo "farm" on Stardew Valley. That's been fun (I was ready for a break from TV, and didn't want to return to sewing yet). Heading to bed shortly, then we fence tomorrow, nothing on Sunday, school on Monday....see y'all Tuesday! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
