HomeAgain Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Good morning! I have bathing suit shopping today. I'm looking for a tankini with boy shorts I will wear twice over the next 4 years, or less if I continue to grow in girth. Wish me luck. 🤣 Today: shower shopping email notes because it's the first of the month help ds prep for NLE violin 10,000 steps? It's still cold out there check ds's skates to see if they need to be sharpened, throw them in the car if so sign up the kid for all the auditions and tryouts he decided on. We threw out one based on location: a place notorious for black mold and hazards. DS might have to go there to compete, but we don't need to go there every week for hours. dinner: meatloaf, mashed potatoes, carrots. A crowd pleaser. Forced Family Fun night was last night. I lost at Disney Jeopardy. If you guys have any family that loves the films/parks, you should check it out on Youtube. We use white boards to keep score/write responses (and don't subtract points for wrong answers). 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoutTN Posted March 1 Author Share Posted March 1 Did some housekeeping, had b’fast, did the Wordle and Connections, culled my inbox. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheReader Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 home from the grocery store DH added "do you have time to make potato salad for Middle?" -- yes, I do (Middle is sick w/a sore throat, LOVES potato salad, and we have potatoes needing to be used up), so going to get that going and prep the K craft while potatoes boil (we're making Egyptian collar necklaces; need to cut the card stock to the right shape, and cut the papers to use for "gems" on the collars). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Howdie, happy March! And happy Friday! Yesterday I really cranked out a lot of work. I even worked ahead a little, to be efficient (reducing the # of times I need to open and close each Quickbooks file). Then, I slept a reasonable amount, I think. Today, I hope to continue the momentum and end the day with happy clients. 😛 I have researched & emailed re the one thing that was technically due today, and a few other client emails. I also cleaned for the maid, and fielded a number of texts from my kid who wanted to come home from school. (She suddenly felt better after I told her that coming home would mean (a) no screens and no friends all weekend, and (b) listening to cleaning and barking noises all day.) How should I structure the rest of my work day? I still have a lot of things that should have already been done. I guess I should do those first, though I really want to do an inbox purge to clear my mind.... Send completed financial data to auditors / tax preparers / investors. About 10 more 2023 financial packages to complete and send to the auditors. Confirms etc. for the auditors. Review a client's pile of cash transfer memos. Send out the remaining Q1 invoices. Draft invoices for the next 4 quarters & roll forward accounting so the remaining 2024 accounting duties are relatively light. File a lot of stuff that is in my inbox. Assemble a bunch of data for upcoming Big Deadline. Put out fires, various smaller tasks, and whatever I'm forgetting. Personal stuff: Sign kids up for AP tests. Yoga etc. Get kids' Spanish lessons finalized & on the calendar. Figure out whether or not my kid's retainer is somewhere around. It's my turn to pick tonight's restaurant - ugh. Walk the dog. Whatever else gets done. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReader Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Isn't it amazing, @SKL, how those little reminders improve our kiddos' overall health? LOL! Got the email that invoices are ready, so need to go in and update those who pay ahead (the new software makes this such.a.chore.), and then send my son's tuition payment. Kindergarten craft is prepped & ready, sample made. Potatoes are cooling while I ate a snack, and I'll go finish up the potato salad after I do the invoices. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 A lot of back and forth about the name of a new venture we're going to do. (I know, we said no new ventures, right? But this one will use a space vacated by a tenant, to fill a need in one of our buildings, so I am telling myself it's not really a "new venture." Plus, our employees are excited about it, so hopefully their momentum will allow me to watch from afar.) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I swim so rarely I don't really want to invest more than I have to, if that makes sense. DS's schedule as he gets older makes family trips harder, so we don't do as many things like kayaking or hanging out at the beach anymore. I did find a top and bottom at Target. They'll work for this upcoming vacation. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't it amazing how that works? 😄 I convinced ds to go to school yesterday when he had a cough first thing. Knowing he wouldn't get to play video games with his friends at esports was suddenly an antidote. And today? Definitely not sick at all. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReader Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Invoices all marked Payment sent Potato salad done - ended up chunkier than normal, instead of creamy...oh well Made a card for the baby gift, so that's all set (and a care tag for the quilt) Nap time, then lunch, packing, head out -- we aren't on a tight schedule so can take our time with all of this 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 I really enjoyed lunch with my friend! Ds called in a panic because he couldn't find his passport, but as I was getting on here to ask you all to pray he finds it, he let me know it was found! Whew!!! That would have been an expensive loss. His trip is about $5000, and he would still have to take another trip. The school requires a global perspective trip for all the students. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He leaves next Friday for a 10-day trip to Italy with the business department. I think they are going to Rome, Florence, and Sorrento. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He flew to Seattle and then on to Alaska.
