Good morning!

DH is home today, wasn't feeling well so he called in sick. Personally I think he is just overly tired. He is working 13 hour days, 6 days a week and that's bound to catch up with you sooner or later. Why the plant feels like they need to work them so much, especially during a holiday week (yes he is working Thanksgiving!!) is beyond me....

Today:
laundry
vacuum
clean laundry room
change out towels
start packing for weekend trip to Vero Beach
pedicure
Michaels run for red cardstock

Hope everyone has a magical day - P&PD to those in need

Happy Turkey Week everyone! Only a three-day work week for me. Am so glad after the migraine this weekend. Woke up with it on Friday and it was a monster! Finally relented and went to get a shot on Sunday. Messed up ALL of my weekend plans, but at least I'm nice and rested now.

Prayers and pixie dust to all those in need!

2 of 3 boys up and out this morning. DS17 decided he wanted to use his "free pass" today and stay home since they won't really be doing anything today anyway. Off school the rest of the week....so an extra hour sleep for me!

Work till 3



Call guidance counselor and ask why transcrips were requested on 11/2 but weren't mailed until 11/15. I really angry over this!

Plan for Cub Scout meeting tonight - supposed to do it this weekend, but couldn't even attempt it.

Something quick and easy for dinner? But what?

Parent-teacher conf for DS7

Quick once over house since NOTHING got done this weekend. Looks like a bomb exploded!

Good morning

P & PD for those in need

Rachel is still sleeping--no school this week for her

Rachel decided over the weekend to cancel her graduation trip to France & Spain With the epstein-barr she didn't think she'd be able to keep up with the rigorous touring schedule. So we're going to WDW instead; DH and DD1 may join us for SWW

I think I'll have her look at WDW restaurants (we are only 190 days out; shortest amount of planning time we've ever had!)

My list:
Once over upstairs
Edit some pics
ENT appt this afternoon
Grocery store
Dinner???

Have a great day all

 

[JJ&JHsmom]

Prayers and pixie dust to all those in need!

for the short work and school week!

Cheryl, sorry Rachel cancelled her Spain trip, but at least she has Disney to look forward to!
Danielle, good luck with the guidance counselor and conferences!
Lisa, congrats on getting that list banged out! Hopefully the weather will clear soon.
Rachal, gool luck with the designs.
Becky, hope DH is feeling better soon.
Nan, Yay for a short list!
Caroline, Yay for having the holiday spirit! Hope it lasts!


Been a busy morning here, grocery shopping done, and did my once over on house.

still have a meeting this afternoon and a few errands, but I am in good shape for the rest of the week.

Hope everyone enjoys today!

 

[morgansmom2000]

I'm working. There is no heat here, something isn't working. Freezing my tail off...If it doesn't get fixed soon, I may have to leave.

Morgan only has today and tomorrow at school. She had a little meltdown this morning when she realized she probably wouldn't be able to be in the musical this spring, their rehearsals are Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays until 4:15...she has dance in the next town over at 4:15 on Mondays. She couldn't switch to Thursdays, because it's the same time and so are rehearsals Didn't help that she was hormonal and "the boy" didn't email or text her all weekend...

I hope everyone is doing well. I only work today and Wednesday, looking forward to a short week!

 

[bigsis1970]

[PrincessNancy96]

Jennifer,
Is your heating unit on the same system PJ's is??
She was complaining this morning their heat was not working...
Her and her roommate called the housing director to have it looked at with finals just around the corner...

 

[morgansmom2000]

Last week it sounded like an airplane taking off. They say the blower isn't blowing. The furnace is throwing heat, but the blower fan has died. Okay...it's freezing out, can they get here quick? It's going to get awfully chilly in here once the sun goes down

They have been here off and on since around 11:30. Still not working and I hear a lot of moving around up in the attic!

Hope she gets hers fixed quickly.

Stupid boys. (I can say that cause I'm raising three of them!) Hope you can find a way to work out Morgan's schedule.

 

[JohnsonsLoveDisney]

Poor Morgan. Tell her it doesn't get any easier.

Hopefully they get the heat going soon!

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Hopefully they have the heat working soon..

Yes, boys are stupid.... (raised 4 myself and DH)... and having DS12 about Morgan's age.. I so understand the importance of following thru on texting the girls... I have one little girl who will text me if B doesn't respond to her... (her mom is a friend so that is how she got my number)...

 

[wdwmickey]

Poor Morgan We still say "boys are st***d" around our house!

ENT said whatever was causing me problems is gone So no surgery and nor doing anything else either. Just waiting for the issue to finish resolving itself!

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Cheryl, that's good news that it is gone.. but probably would have wished you could have had some definitive answers.. but having no surgery means extra money for your graduation trip!!!!

 

[joyah]

Jen I'd say boys are s****d but mine still have no clue abt girls. Levi they fly by his radar (cause their tops are hanging out of their clothing around here) Eric is still totally clueless. Give her a hug for me. Hopefully the musical thing can be worked out.....
