My to do list:

Wood in the woodstove
Write in DD's communication book
Try to ignore kitty's howling that I can't feed him
Get DD up and ready for school
Bring kitty in for the big snip, snip. It is breaking my heart to do it but I know it should be done. I've been apologizing to him for days already.
Caffeinate
Work
Call dr office again.
Mail the bills I keep forgetting to mail
Find Bluetooth. I had it at my crop Saturday but can't remember where I put in when I took it off.

[BernardandMissBianca]

Dang girl, I haven't finished 1/13 daily list yet and here were are on the 14th!!!


OY!

Must do:

I have no idea......

get kids to school and let them torture someone else for a while

clean my crap space cause, well, it exploded

pretend to put laundry away so DH thinks I did something

eat lunch cause I like food

get kids because the school refuses to keep them

feed the kids so they don't offer me up as a sacrifice

homework because, well there really is no good reason for homework

bed, so I can dream about the movie star life I should be living with nannies and maids

[joyah]

Yep week 2 almost over, things still going well. I will eventually get used to running for 5 hours (to think I wanted to be an LNA 12 hours shifts i'd be dead. Boss made me a present and hopes we have many more years together.

Dad seems to be on the up hill swimg (insert knock on wood smiley here) as of last night (well it's still night WHY am I up?) he was still only allowed clear liquids. I haven't heard what his Dr said after night rounds maybe broth. We're one week post op and still just hanging around waiting. I'll try to update with a morning dr report if there is one before I go to work.

 

[StitchIsOurHero]

Ok, y'all--who watched AI last night?? Did you see the "lovely" segment with the girl jumping off the bridge? (She sang the song from Old Crow Medicine Show). Yep. That's the county where I'm from. She graduated from our school (where I'm the counselor) about 2 years ago. In actuality, she's a little less "schtick" than that, but oh well!

 

[DisneyIsTerrific]

Lisa, good luck with kitty. I'm sure the car ride to the vet will be fun too!

Debbie, have fun crocheting. My MIL gave me yarn and hooks and 3 instruction books for Christmas and I still haven't figured out how to do it!

Christy, I hope you Dad is doing better.

Brooke, have fun at the cabin!

Everyone, I hope you have a wonderful day!!

My list:
Make DH's lunch
DS up and off to school
Work on swaps
Work at Michaels
Meet DH for dinner at stir fry place
Go watch DS's group musical rehearsal - he leaves for Districts tomorrow and will be performing a duet and a group musical piece as well as entering a set that he designed. We haven't seen the group musical piece yet and this is "his" piece since he chose the song, auditioned the performers to be in it, kicked out one of the performers who had an attitude and was bringing down the whole routine, and he choreographed the dance. I can't wait to see it!!!

I've had a bad week, and I'm not expecting today to be much better, but I'm hoping.....

Work - attempt to make it though the day without walking out for good. We have (yet another) new department director, and he is on his second week. He's changing everything and everyone, and won't listen to anything. This is our 4th, maybe 5th (I've lost count) director since this time last year--the rest were interim/consultants, but this one is permanent. We've gone through this too many times recently, and I don't know how much more I can take. I spent the last two days in tears off and on, and I'm not the only one.

If I survive the day, then I need to:
see where the laundry is
clean kitchen
hopefully scrap

Have a good one,
Steph

 

[PrincessNancy96]

[morgansmom2000]

I'm up. Not feeling great, sore throat and headache. I wanted to leave work early yesterday and ended up staying late. Figures. Boss will not be in on Friday (yay!) or Monday (I may take the day off, since Princess has no school - but we may go in and do my filing, if I don't get it done tomorrow).

My day, in a nutshell:

PrincessM up, fed, dressed, bus
Pay bills
Menu and grocery list for the weekend
Dollar Tree - shower curtain - Woot, did it Wednesday!
Change shower curtain
- It just never ever ends!
Swaps
Lunch
Swaps
Homework duty
Dinner
Dishes
Vera Bradley Open House thing? Maybe, depends on how I feel. If not, I'll be going to basketball practice.

 

[PinballFamily]

Busy day - and builds as the day goes on - crap.

Another list today - (did get through 99% of yesterdays!) and then the Girl Scout meeting (here) and then make dinner, but not get to eat it as I have to run out to a community meeting.

Squabbling with DSs school too - I am so tired of this. It is very civil, but I am very exasperated right now.

Have a good day, everyone! MM - hope you feel better soon! AYM - kids here will have a four-day weekend, too (go on Friday, but off Mon and Tues) - shaping up to be a bit crazy-busy, but I hope we can build in some down time, too.

Aww, I didn't watch it! We were going to, but watched a movie instead.

Was she actually good, or no?

sorry you are having a tough time at Work, Steph. 5 bosses in one year is just nuts.
If you left is there other work out there for you?
