math teacher Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Good morning!! Laundry and shredding are done for the day. Not going to the farmer's market, because I know I won't be able to stay away from the homemade baked goods, and I am really trying to lose weight. No cooking, as dh is working 12 hours, and doesn't like to eat a meal that late. On to other things: more coffee call my dad dust continue wall prep, which will involve using my new sander (a new experience for me) get some more work done in the room where i painted the closet clean out the washing machine finish cleaning the kitchen cabinets clean dh's desk read part of my Kindle book hopefully finish organizing my little area of the storage building- I can do all of it if dh wants me to, but a lot of it came from his mom's house and I don't know what he wants to keep Bible and prayer exercise try to get 60 grams protein may add more later 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Hi guys! Happy Saturday! So many goals, so little time. It's my last weekend before the "big deadline." I am ahead in some ways, behind in others. I wanted to debrief a bit about the kids' culture camp that ended last night. This is their 11th year attending this camp. I'm sure I've blabbed about it before but bear with me. 😛 My kids aged out of the "classes," other than helping with younger kids, but they still participate in ethnic dances, sports, cooking/eating, and other stuff. They are also involved in volunteer work. This year, the teens organized a food packing project that produced 10,000 meals for a local hunger center. But perhaps the biggest benefit is being able to spend a week with kids who share something few in the general population do. All of the teens were adopted internationally, most from Latin America. They share things that are difficult to explain and impossible to duplicate. Although it isn't all sunshine and roses, it's one of the most valuable things my kids have participated in, IMO. But back to reality. 😛 So far today, I slept (yay), did "yoga etc.," ate fruit, took vitamins, did a bit of cleaning and dog stuff, and caught up on news, emails, & social media. I've texted the girls that I want them to clean the basement and bathe the dog today. The basement is where they have had their friends over most days this week, and there's some colored slime spilled in the corner, among other things. 😕 If they don't get it cleaned this weekend, they'll use their jobs as an excuse next week. 😛 I also have some cleaning to do. I can do mine on work breaks My work goals for today include completing 5-6 client reports, testing the government website's submission process, reviewing some audits/tax returns, and a lot of filing to decrease the stuff in my inbox. And whatever emergencies someone creates. Personal goals, other than cleaning/organizing and staying reasonably cool, include paying a bill or two, some online personal tasks, eating veggies, and walking the dog. Thinking a lot about what I want to accomplish after the 6/28 deadline, but that's probably not my best use of time today. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoutTN Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Training is over for the weekend. My mind needs a break and time to process. Food and relaxation are on the schedule between now and Monday morning. Working on figuring out a way to get to church tomorrow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom31257 Posted June 22 Author Share Posted June 22 @math teacher, I need to lose some weight and have needed to for some time. Is 60 grams of protein a number that is supposed to help with that? @lauraw4321, is memorizing the Sermon on the Mount a personal challenge or something with a group? @SKL, sounds like you found the perfect place for your kids! @ScoutTN, enjoy the rest of your time away! Lunch with the family was great. Unfortunately, I spent the next 3 hours on the phone with Verizon activating my dad's new iPad. After they all left, dh tried to text me a picture he took. I realized I couldn't receive or get texts from Android phones. I was so frustrated and snippy with dh. I apologized, got a snack, and watched Little House on the Prairie. I made dh some food for dinner and decided to call Verizon again. This problem was resolved MUCH more quickly. Dh asked me about walking, but it is still 89 degrees here. I don't want to be out in those temperatures. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauraw4321 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 @mom31257 That sounds so frustrating! I hate dealing with that kind of thing. Memorizing Sermon on the Mount was an idea I got. Just a personal challenge. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 @mom31257 Glad they got your phone working again! There was a trivia game after dinner. We came in 7th out of 19. It was fun and interesting to see who knows what sorts of things. In my jammies and winding down now. Gonna read. Thankful for a day off tomorrow! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
