HomeAgain Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Good morning! It's grey and drizzly, and a good day for staying in. Unfortunately, the chicken we thawed yesterday has significant freezer burn and won't be a part of today's meal. coffee empty dishwasher run to the store for chicken (oh, and adobo sauce!!) lunch: chickpea salad with avocado, hummus, cucumber, greens, and tomatoes violin 10 minute workout make dinner: chicken chili and rice...brownies for dessert? Maybe. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I'm up and at it because I have a 10am conference call that I need to prepare for. I have so much work that needs to go out today. I hate that February is a short month, meaning less time to prepare monthly and quarterly stuff, in the middle of all the year-end reporting. And this year, there are additional deadlines that all my clients are scrambling to meet. And a new stupid reporting law that I need to study / implement that apparently applies to almost every entity I deal with (100 entities give or take). So I hope to have great focus today. I was hitting snooze almost all night, but I feel like I got enough sleep between the alarms. I don't know what else will be accomplished. Hopefully I'll do enough to satisfy my clients, keep up with the house stuff, and maybe walk the dog? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheReader Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 texted my tutoring kiddo this morning to verify we're on (there's been/going to be a lot of travel and I wanted to be sure the dates are right) - mom came back with "we can skip if you want, I'm good with that" (instead of the expected "yes ma'am" she normally texts when I check in), so I took the hint and we're skipping today So that frees up my morning, and I can offer to run an errand for DH if he wants, to help his morning out 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReader Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Ok, have 3 of the 5 pics chosen, maybe, working on more 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Welp, the person who was supposed to lead the 10am conference call never got on. So I worried for nothing, but at least I got some work done, thanks to the sense of urgency. Still lots more to do. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReader Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 helped DS print a thing for his friend have gone thru all the pics on my computer & external hard drive, will need to check phones later for more recent ones (&/or take some...)

HomeAgain Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Coffee done, dishwasher switched over, and dh and I went shopping for vacation, thanks to the medicine thread sparking that fire. Moleskin, reupping basic first aid kit, and 2 tubes of sunscreen, one for us and one for the not-always-thinking-ahead 20-somethings going with us. And then, because it was so warm out, we stopped by McD's for Shamrock shakes. It was apparently everyone else's idea, too. We got ds signed up for summer camp. He was wishy-washy about going until we put out an all call to his friends. One jumped at the idea and his parents were down with it, so now they'll spend a week together playing with the Army. 😄 It was an ordeal doing the sign up, though. So many pieces of paperwork to get together and pull info from. I really thought last year that we did most of it right before camp, but I could be wrong. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReader Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 DS is home, I'm packed, waiting on DH and then we'll head to Grandma's. The guys want to all see the art gallery one last time before she closes tomorrow, and my dad's in town too, so they'll visit a bit and come home, and I'll stay the weekend; DH will pick me up Sunday after he does a fencing tournament (I'm skipping so I can finally go to church with my grandma). 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 The online student never showed up because his mom forgot about it and made other plans for them. I arranged it all with her, so I'll be sure to text the student next time. We are rescheduled for the morning because this was very important stuff I needed to cover before his class on Monday. I had a great afternoon with E! A friend called wanting to take me to dinner. I just got back, and it was a nice night out. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeAgain Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I got out of making dinner tonight. DS14 is in a lull between growth spurts and has stopped eating constantly. Dh is at work. I had a large lunch. Ds25 took off with his gf to look for shamrock shakes and didn't say a word, so when they showed back up at 5:40 I let them know that I didn't bother to make anything. No point in cooking a big pot of chili if I didn't know who would be here or would be wanting to eat. Leftovers are available for those who want them. It's 7:30 and ds14 still isn't hungry (he had a large lunch, too). He's really my only concern to deal with. but it's vacation week so I'm not going to micromanage his diet, either. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Got everything done! I’m at the retreat, taking a few minutes to have a cuppa tea while the girls are busy in their first activity. My only role is kitchen manager and general adult presence. The cabin is cute and suits our needs well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
