Re: Random ? About this week.
This week my Avon orders are due so I have to load everything in the computer and collect money. I also have to clean up Coopers room. He got a new book case so I really need to put his books away.
I always look forward to Fridays because I spend the whole day shpping with my grandma.
I really need to get cracking on putting laundry away and clean the master bathroom.
This is actually kind of a busy week.
DH is back at work, but wrestling season is over! (He's the coach.) So most days he'll be home at 3:30 from now on - instead of 7pm and then away almost every weekend.
That means we'll be able to finish painting the last part of the apartment that we're painting right now (we'll be painting more in a few weeks but we need a break). And I'll be able to get some job applications done.
BUT - FIL's cousin passed away on Saturday and there is a memorial service today, funeral tomorrow (I've never heard of having 2 services back to back in close geographic proximity to each other), and 'shiva' (Jewish costum of mourning at home). I think we're only going to the memorial service and visiting them during the shiva once.
I'm behind on general cleaning/decluttering and keeping the house neat. We have a lot of junk to throw out. Also we have papers to sort through. Our lives are consumed with sorting through papers!
Agenda this week - WORK, WORK, WORK - Spend the evenings playing with Joshua until bedtime and then get some stuff done around the house. Older DS turns 15 tomorrow so the grandparents will stop by for cake, etc. DH is taking him to get his Learner's Permit.
Neglected Chores- EVERYTHING- DH is home Tues-Thursday this week - hope he gets a few things done so I do not have to clean every night. Main objective will be to make sure I have everything in order before I go out of town for a week on Sunday (my trip to Istanbul).
Looking forward to- Celebrating DS's birthday and seeing what kind of driver he is. Can't believe he is already 15.
This week we're going to the park and the pet store (because I don't really want to go to the zoo and Joaquin is suddenly obsessed with animals--we're not buying anything!). I also have a ton of random stuff to fix around the house... need to change the furnace filter, get a new garage door opener remote and figure out why a ceiling fan works but the lamp in it doesn't.
I'm totally not behind on chores right now, because when I was buying stuff for those random fixes I noticed they were having a sale on magic erasers, like a buck for 4 or something. So I was all, hmm, let's try it, and now I'm like
My house is a wreck, that includes a huge pile of 2 weeks worth of laundry - BLAH! So, this week I'm cleaning & organizing.
Looking forward to closing on our old house tomorrow, and I have my first dr appt on Thursday!!!
This week is work work!! And DS starts soccer tonight and DD starts a tumbeling class thingy on Thursday.
And I have another cold. So thanks daycare. Again. I need to sent my children there in a hazmat suite.
Oh I passed a big exam that i needed to do for work and I'm so glad that it is over with!
I'm looking forward to Disney on ice with the kids this weekend.
I'm trying to get as much done around the apartment as I can this week just so DH has a couple weeks of it actually looking like a home before he leaves. I've hung some stuff on the walls and just hung curtains. I have to go grocery shopping tomorrow or the next day and I'm thinking of seeing if there is a slot open in the day care on post so I can see how E does with it before I start taking her for all my doctors appointments and such. People are coming to pick up a bunch of stuff that we're donating to a lending closet on post for lower ranking families that are just getting settled and need some house hold stuff on Thursday. Oh, and MIL comes down Thursday and she's not speaking to me so that should be a wonderful experience
Oh and I have like 4 loads of laundry to put away, mop the kitchen and bathrooms, clean the tubs, and get window cleaner to clean up E's lick/finger prints off the tv and glass door.
Nothing much this week. Working 5 days I think. I am going to be exhausted come the weekend. I am at another location today, two hours from home and I am really hoping I can get out of here before rush hour.
Mostly looking forward to an overnight trip in March, thats about it.
Today was my day this week to get everything done. I had an OB appt this morning, which meant I had the car. I went to: my doctor, BRU/TRU, JoAnn's, Chick-fil-a, Big Lots, and Dunkin Donuts.
I am trying to get DD's new room done so I can take pics and she can move in. I bought a few things today to get some crafts done. I also have a few prints on order from Shutterfly for in there. Once she moves out of her room I can start getting it ready for DD2. I still have 4 months before this baby comes, but we're already ready for her.
I'm looking forward to the new custom bibs I ordered to come in the mail, as well as part of DD's Easter outfit.
ETA: I didn't read before posting. Doodle, sorry about your FIL
& I hope the specialist says nothing is wrong with S
Sorry Doodle. Thoughts and prayers.
We aren't doing much of anything this week. Which is fine by me. I'm lazy.
I'm so sorry about FIL. I can't imagine how hard that is on you and your H.
I have total faith that Shiloh will be just fine. I'm glad your pedi is taking it very seriously though and she's getting looked at by a specialist. If he doesn't find something. You might consider an opthamologist as well. It may have something to do with the eye muscles. Keep us updated! I'll be praying for everything to go well for your family this week! ((HUGS))
