Up and out and no headache today Hope everyone else is feeling better today!

Survived financial aid night last night and according to them....we're poor. Well Duh! That's what happens when the housing market comes to a grinding halt and there's no work for DH. Normally I would see that as a bad thing, but when it comes to money for college I guess its a good thing.

Here's what today looks like for me:

Boys up and out

Me up and out for work today

Work till 3

Pick up tickets for high school football playoffs this weekend. Game is in Hershey, so I think that calls for a trip to the "factory" for a chocolate run! Maybe a quick trip to the outlets too.

Call final college and make sure they received transcripts

Home & figure out dinner - maybe soup and sandwiches

At least one load of laundry

Call mom to see if she wants me to pick up her Christmas tree tomorrow

Homework check

Scout meeting for 2 oldest

Watch something "christmas" with youngest & finish making my bows

Bed


Have a good day everyone!

Good Morning,

Well, I did NOT wake up 500 million dollars richer so I guess it's forward with my daily routine, sigh! Of course, my little brother lives in AZ (where one of the tickies was sold) so there is still hope - HAHAHA!

Today:
Housekeeper comes at 9am
Get car washed
Petsupermarket run
Kohls run
Michaels run
Ulta run
Toys r Us run
Finish up a couple things leftover from yesterdays list
Couple loads of laundry
DH says we are going out to dinner tonight - yay!

Happy Thursday

Becky

Good Morning!

I hope things here are back to normal. We have been away for my birthday Disney trip the last couple of days. Now I need to get a move on working on getting ready for Christmas. I am also hoping that my lingering cough will be leaving soon and stop zapping my energy.

Today:
wash dishes
fold laundry
work on stuff for Lisa
dinner- chicken, grilled vegies, mashed potatoes
walk the dogs
work on Christmas gifts- finishing knitting 1 dishcloth and template thank you cards
clean off counters
1 chapter of work possibilities
send out info to people who said they had girls I could quote
volunteer time at the school
mail birthday package to FIL

Rebecca

Morning

Nan good luck to DS today
Danielle that is good news about financial aid

I still have a headache Hopefully my tea and meds will kick in soon

I'm hoping to bring DH home this afternoon. His surgery went well just took longer than expected.

I must get some decorating done so I can get the plastic boxes out of my living room

I get to make dining ressies for Rachel's graduation trip today

Have a great day all

 

[morgansmom2000]

Hope they spring DH for you today, Cheryl. I know I never sleep right when someone is missing from the house.

Yay for no headache, Danielle! Hope you get what you need for financial aid, I'm really not looking forward to those days.

Rebecca, hope the cough is lessening. Feel better.

Becky, I'm not $500M richer either and have no family in AZ or MO. Ah well, it was fun to dream.

Good luck to DS today, Nancy.

I, again, woke up far too early. (See above about not sleeping right when someone is missing from the house - but at this point, it's 3/4 over!) It wouldn't be so bad if I could have some kind of contact with her, but we have none at all.

Anyhow...My list is long, and probably I probably won't get much of it done, but I couldn't care less...

Stamp Christmas cards and mail
Library
Drop off Miss Jen's candy order
Pick up paper grocery bags for recycling - I had this on my list last night and STILL forgot to get them
Work on free Calendar
Bake bread pudding
Order iPad cover and screen protectors
Lunch?
Work on free Photo Book
Drag out Sizzix and cut out trees
Finish my book?
Clean out my purse
Movies with DH
Stop at Bob's and use $10 coupon
Stop at Michaels for iTunes gift cards ($25 for $20!)
Dinner?
Big Bang Theory!
Bed!

Hope everyone has a great day!

I love that show, can't get enough of it

We're skipping dance tomorrow night. Will probably get takeout from somewhere for dinner. Saturday we may go to a craft fair with my sister. Sunday is the event at the youth center, which is right before the Santa Parade, so since it's supposed to be warm, we'll probably stay and watch it.

So much for no headache...It's come on now.

No mail from my girl (we sent pre-addressed stamped envelopes), it will probably come tomorrow. And, no wall art swap either. No bills though!

Sorry no letter from your girl. Maybe she is busy and having such a good time she forgot?

I would say good to the no bills, but my mail lady probably has them all.....hoarding them in her car!

Sounds like a great family weekend planned. Enjoy it! I love to go to craft shows, but my boys call them crap shows. Its not worth the hassle of dragging them there if they are just going to complain and make me miserable wondering why I brought them.

 

[PrincessNancy96]

You are in the final hours Jennifer!!! Not much longer...

I think tomorrow I'm going to finish up our shopping... I need to get gift cards.. can get 4x the points at Kroger.. so I think I'm gonna hit that store so I can get money off on gas... (I might get it for under $3.00 a gallon that way... )


Ok, today I'm organizing..setting up my filing system for our taxes, as I hate the accordian files it is in now... and I despise my bills being in an according style.. so I got hanging file folders.. now I need the boxes for them..but Meijer didn't have jack that wasn't $20 a box.. I can get the good plastic boxes w/ hinged lids for $8 at Walmart...

 

[JohnsonsLoveDisney]

Afternoon ladies!

Ya Jen!

Girls up and out
Busy trying to get everything packed so I can ship.it off tomorrow.
Still waiting on a load of laundry.

Girls to dads-maybe he won't be himself tonight. Haha last night didn't go well. DD#2 has a bunch of rehearsals and performances coming up that fall on "his time" he won't take her. Ugh!

Pick up girls
Home
Bed

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Rachal, I have the urge to drive to WA and smack your foolish one around!!
That just irritates the living heck out of me... We NEVER punished the kids like that.. if it was on our time and they had events... we took them.. if there was a conflict we made arrangements w/ the Ex to get them... if we got done w/ the conflict we meet the ex and they left with us.. she would stay and finish the game or if it was practice she would opt to head on her way.. .didn't matter if it was DH that was meeting her or me.... (believe me we aren't buddies..but we tolerate each other for the sake of the kids..)... On a happy note on my end... I only have about 8 months of dealing with her for the rest of our lives!!!

 

[JJ&JHsmom]

Prayers and pixie dust to all those in need.

Nan, hope DS did well on his test!
Danielle, for financial aid. Every bit helps!
Rebecca, hope the cough is better.
Cheryl, hope DH is home, I too do not rest well when someone is missing. for dining ressies!
Jennifer, you are in the home stretch!

Rachal, what is wrong with him! at least she knows she can count on you!

Congrats to DS!

 

[JohnsonsLoveDisney]

Ya for DS!!! are you ready tho?

See Nan, thats cause you are an adult and a good parent and you know how things are.

I know hes a real piece of something. He wont allow DBF to pick them up nor will he drop them off if im not home.

Sunday was a big rehearsal (maybe if she went she could skip one this week) I told him as soon as I found out about it. Texted, reminded. I get an email at 530.. where is she? I call him "i am stuck in traffic and not going to make it" I asked him why he was stuck in traffic that long, impossible (i check the traffic) anyways girls come home "we werent really stuck in traffic, the gf had other plans so we didnt go, but he told us to tell you that we were stuck in traffic" he moved about 35-40 mins away from where he was living to move in with the new gf. so now its all too far, too long to get there, too much gas. Whos fault is it? I've really had enough of the power trip he gets on when he has a gf. No gf all summer long and he was manageable. so frustrating.

Then I tried to talk to him about the upcoming stuff when I dropped them off yesterday, he said "not discussing this with you, its my time and I'm not wasting it" got in his car and drove off. So when I picked them up I just opened the door and let them in. Since that was "my time" and we really have to get home and ready for bed.

I got an email last night that there is a 3 hour practice before their performance on Sunday, that he has to take her too He hasnt responded to my text.

on a happy note, my PhotoPass Plus came in the mail today!

Ohh and its DD#3's 5th Birthday! We've celebrated twice this month, but I may just whip up some cupcakes while shes gone and do it again! Told her we would have her bday dinner in DisneyWorld (we dont have time to go out to the piggy place before we leave!)
