ScoutTN Posted July 1 Posted July 1 (edited) Also need to finish onboarding for my new job! ✔️ And pick up some AHG gear when I drive out that way for dinner tonight. Very glad for Ds to have a few more days totally unplugged. Like his summer camp, no phones on this trip. So good for the kids! Edited July 1 by ScoutTN 5 Quote
Scarlett Posted July 1 Posted July 1 Good morning! I have so much to do! Probably 6 loads of laundry including our bedding/dog bedding. Clean floors. Vacuum and mop. Pay our bills for the month. Those are the musts But I also need to get some food in this house and make supper ( we had a big 3 day event and ate out every night). I would like to avoid getting to the end of the day and getting take out. At least need a plan for a decent mean tonight. I have so much more to do but I know what I listed above is probably more than I can do today. 6 Quote
ScoutTN Posted July 1 Posted July 1 Tidying Up and realized that Ds forgot to pack his swimsuit! 🙄 Maybe one day he’ll decide to use some supports/scaffolding for his ADHD?! Texted the youth director, who will cover the purchase of a new swimsuit. 5 Quote
SKL Posted July 1 Posted July 1 Howdie, happy Monday! I'm in a good mood so far. Could be because I haven't had to speak to anyone except the dog. 😛 Today, I have 2 conference calls (that I know of) + an evening dentist appointment (1st step of getting another crown). I have to send out an analysis before the 2nd call, and do a bunch of other work to avoid nastygrams. I need to fit a shower/hair wash in there somewhere. Already done: "Yoga etc.," ate fruit, took vitamins, a tiny bit of cleaning and dog stuff, made a couple cash transfers, caught up on emails / news / social media / calendar. I didn't really do client work yesterday. I did feel good about the day though. Got the kids' computers and enjoyed dinner out with just them. Had some nice important mother-daughter chats. Then the kids worked on getting their computers set up while I took the pup for a nice walk. Kid1 went to the gym, and then both girls did the grocery shopping. They also did some laundry and a tiny bit of house cleaning. But the house is still a mess! I don't want to clean my kids' messes, but I also don't want to live in a pigsty. I'm thinking about telling them I'm going to charge them $20/hour for cleaning if they don't get it done. Though they might just be OK with that, until their graduation money runs out. 😛 So today I think I need to lay down the law. No more Mrs. Nice Guy. Another thing - there's going to be a TKD belt test mini camp on July 20. I want to take that class and pass the belt test, but since I haven't been to class in like 1.5 years, I need to start going to classes & practicing at home. Not today, because I have the dentist appointment, but I need to start working it into my schedule. 6 Quote
HomeAgain Posted July 1 Posted July 1 Good morning! Already done: coffee grocery shopping clean the downstairs To do: tutoring work with ds drive him to hockey practice 10,000 steps? Maybe violin dinner: pasta, pork chops, and salad I want to find time to go to the thrift store, but I'm thinking this week is going to be hell for it. It means going on the tourist highway and I just don't want to deal with it. 5 Quote
mommyoffive Posted July 1 Posted July 1 @ScoutTN So fun that your DS has a trip to FL this week. Sigh on the swimsuit. I understand. I am glad you got it worked out already. that is so awesome it is unplugged too. So good or kids. @TravelingChris Glad you are feeling better. 2 1 Quote
ScoutTN Posted July 1 Posted July 1 Ds got a swimsuit at Buc-ee’s for $17.00. 🤣 Can’t wait to see that! 2 1 Quote
ScoutTN Posted July 1 Posted July 1 I sorted house keys and extras yesterday. Apparently I put the wrong one on my key ring - I’m locked out. Dh won’t be home for an hour or more, so I’m headed to Starbucks. 4 Quote

I didn't even know they sold them there! 😆 At least it's a good price! Tutoring done for the day. Next up is to work with ds, who will complain heartily. I don't care. One of the issues we're still working on is handwriting, forming letters as they are written and not what his brain decided they should be. We've graduated to a grooved book of quotes, the second in a series of three. I think he'll really enjoy the third - it's speeches from people like Shakespeare and Michael Jordan. I think I'll have a quick sandwich for lunch. I found ciabatta rolls for half off at the bakery counter. They're a day old and perfect for how I eat my sandwiches: with plenty of oil and vinegar. 5 Quote
ScoutTN Posted July 1 Posted July 1 Got into the house when Dh came home. Re-checked keys so I know that mine work now! Have been doing research on graduate education programs with a path to licensure. 5 Quote
SKL Posted July 1 Posted July 1 I survived the conference calls and finished several urgent items. Now I need to decide how to prioritize the rest of the day. So many options. 😛 5 Quote
mom31257 Posted July 1 Posted July 1 Good afternoon! I slept in this morning. Ds is having a day out with the new girl and said he wants to make it official between them. I have worked all day on digital school stuff for the M/W families. I created grade records and invoices for the new students. I added the coming year's courses to the previous students' grade records. I added the new year's tuition to each invoice. I emailed each family with reminders of summer review work assigned, class days and times, links to the grade sheets and invoices, links to each course syllabus, and the calendar for the year. I took breaks to do my devotion, eat, have coffee, and watch a couple of shows. I ate my lunch late because I'm going to the hip-hop class tonight. I'll eat dinner after it, a salad with grilled chicken from Costco. I still need to prep for tutoring tomorrow. 5 Quote

HomeAgain Posted July 1 Posted July 1 I don't want to cook dinner. There. I said it. I took ds to the relaxed hockey clinic. He really wanted to go back to the fun coach, so that's what dh signed him up for. Turns out, he outgrew the fun coach. It was adorable, but a lot like watching a 10yo win at basketball with a Little Tykes hoop. He missed the push and drive of the other coaches he has been with. 4 Quote
history-fan Posted July 2 Posted July 2 Good evening woke up with my feet running so wasn’t able to check in earlier Arbor person came checked out oak tree said not to worry. They did say that a fungus has been found in the area attacking oak trees so they taught us what to look for pup had her run on way to place I took her we saw 2 bald eagles, had to stop to let a young deer cross road, then a family of mallard ducks and finally a turtle. All on a 20 minute drive. It is a scenic drive calling around trying to find a place that will repair my outbuilding. Will go to home depot tomorrow to get their list of contractors frustrated looking for an under cabinet light for above stove that will be bright enough. Dh says need 2500 lumens Replanted 3 hanging baskets Added more soil to tomato planters filled bird feeders cleaned bird bath talked with friend going through radiation treatment for breast cancer. She’s half way through radiation. 2 Quote
ScoutTN Posted July 2 Posted July 2 Dinner out was fun! Home now, relaxing. About to read. Dog doesn’t like fireworks that are already banging and popping. He paces around and won’t settle. 1 1 Quote
Scarlett Posted July 2 Posted July 2 I worked super hard today. I vacuumed the floors but did not get them mopped. I did 7 loads of laundry. I went to the store. Made supper, cleaned the kitchen. Went to check on my mom who had a bad fall. Bought bananas for them when I was at the store and went back to deliver them to them. I did a bunch of straightening etc…..it looks so little when typed out but I am about to drop. 2 Quote
