Not sure what will get done today. I'm babysitting an 18 month old (because of the immigrant protest thing). So we will see. LOL!

Evenin' ma'am

Submitted by Shaun on Mon, 05/01/2006 - 6:59pm.

Full day today. I am online putting tons of pictures on Ofoto so I'm ready to scrap later this week. (Whee!)

I think I'll list a TADA just to go to bed feeling like something happened today:
Took girls to playplace
lots of freelance work
found 2 subcontractors
homeschooled (piano, math, Chinese)
laundry rotation
straighten/Roomba in LR
Crockpot BBQ chicken -- one batch for sandwiches tomorrow, one for the freezer
Cropped and de-red-eyed piles of photos
Office max for literature sorter for home office (yay!)

Gosh, I know there is something I did that seemed really Fly-worthy, but I can't remember it! Well, babysteps . . .

Jenny and Becky, hope you each got through the day OK!
Waves to Heidi and all you lurkers.

I Am Still Here

Really.

I just have been completely off schedule for the last several weeks, and have not had time to post.

TADA
still sane (sorta)

PODA
oh boy

The house is pretty bad. I have mostly kept up with dishes and laundry, but the floors really need to be done. I also have not meal planned and thus have not done much home cookin' recently. Oh, and DD's room-you wouldn't even believe it.

Need to get back to my routines! Someone kick me! Please! Laughing out loud

Jo, I need a good kick, too!

Jo, I need a good kick, too! LOL!

Shaun, I'm so jealous you get to scrap! I can't even think about finding the time for it anymore, and won't get to participate this weekend at all unless I find some time here at the house (HA!).

Yesterday went well with all the kids. I even had 10 minutes to play with my new sewing machine when they all took a nap together! LOL! Drew woke up soon after the other two crashed. haha! I did get the bathrooms mostly cleaned (counters, sinks and toilets), and stuck to the MR and BBR.

As soon as Drew takes a nap, I'm going to spray Weed-B-Gone outside, and I need to work on a sewing project for the school (embroidering a blanket to give to our school's "biggest fan". He is actually an old man who comes to every game and EXPECTS a gift every year. Running out of ideas of what to get him. He's got letter jackets with all the patches, balls, plaques and mums from every homecoming. So I'm making him a fleece blanket with his name, etc. on it).

BTW, DD6 got 3rd place in the school wide talent show. She sang "you are my sunshine".

Hi Flyfriends!!

Submitted by Tigerlilly on Tue, 05/02/2006 - 11:08am.

I need a big kick in the butt too Jenny and Jo!!! I have been hanging on by a thread but each day is getting more and more crazy!

Luke thank goodness is such a happy easy going boy. He is getting so so big- I cant keep up with feeding him! Alexa is doing well with him but is really showing her spirited self these days as she reaches 2. Anything from getting dressed to which couch I can sit on has become a battle with her. She cracks me up all day long though. Here is a quick link to a video of Luke sucking his thumb. Dont mind the drilling in the background- my dad was putting handles on a slide for Alexa Smiling

OK quick waves to everyone. I have to be fast- both of them are actually sleeping at the same time but probably not for long!
~went to gyno for 6 week checkup. Its really bad when I was looking forward to going to the gyno just to be alone! LOL...
~one load of laundry washed and folded
~made french toast
~called dfriend back to see aboput getting together Thursday
~Luke bath
~Alexa dressed
~Quick target trip with Luke while Dh stayed with Alexa
~pack diaper bag to go to Moms maybe

This is the most I have done in 6weeks!! And boy am I wiped! Ok have a great day Love JAckie

Jackie-your link didn't work,try again when you get a chance,things sound hectic but fun

Jenny-an inexpensive idea for the older gent would be a digital photo of him surrounded by all the athletes and then signed by them. You could blow it up 8x10 and frame it. Maybe you have already done this in the past for him??

Well guys, the water's boiling for the pasta so...tata for now

Oh yes. Done that. He

Submitted by jennye on Tue, 05/02/2006 - 5:43pm.

Oh yes. Done that. He demands pictures of him with the players. with the cheerleaders. With the homecoming court (both the football and basketball homecomings). He also demands his own mums at the homecomings as well (for those that don't have them, mums are these huge fancy flowers made out of ribbons in the school's colors with lots and lots of other ribbons hanging down, charms, words put on them. They get really fancy and expensive). If you want to know the truth, the guy is a little fruity. DH says he used to come into the locker rooms all the time in his high school days. Let's just say his elevator doesn't go all the way to the top floor.

Besides, I've already bought and washed the fleece for it. It will just take some time to make it.

Drew is having a good nap,

Submitted by jennye on Wed, 05/03/2006 - 10:16am.

Drew is having a good nap, so I took advantage and cleaned the back patio. Since the fire, the sand has been blowing in horribly and I hauled off 3 wheelbarrel loads of dirt/sand from it. Yes, 3 LOADS!! Also planted a couple of hanging baskets of petunias. Started on the blanket for booster club too. Was starting to work on hoeing a couple rows in the garden, but decided to take a lunch break first. LOL! Drew will be waking up soon, anyway.

Heidi, the day with an extra kid went well, he wasn't bad at all.

I'm hoping to finish the blanket today, work on my grandmother's quilt for her birthday (it was last month, but she will be here next week). Um, let me make a list

PODA:
unload DW
finish floors in bathrooms
find the floor on my side of the bed (it's covered with fabric and 20 cheerleading uniforms and all my maternity clothes that I'm selling on Ebay and the bassinet that is unused).
make a few lists
take out the garbage (there are three bags in the house and a few in the garage. Need to dump all because...)
Dh wants to clean the garage this afternoon so he can use his unused weight set. He is gung-ho about a career change (well, an additional career to farming, rather than a change).
pick up kids from school and get the news for the paper from school
dinner?

At least we don't have practice or games tonight. tomorrow.

hey everybody!

Submitted by Becky on Wed, 05/03/2006 - 6:17pm.

Checking in-- things are so busy! Today was a big errand day, and I got some packing done too. I've been decluttering along with the packing of course. Tomorrow at 6 or so, we're going to go drop some baby clothes off at my cousin's house. She's in the hospital for observation but she's almost at 30 weeks, which means her baby will most likely survive even if she's born now; so they feel safe borrowing back the baby clothes (and then I'll get them back for our next one).

Bleah!

Submitted by Shaun on Wed, 05/03/2006 - 7:16pm.

I've made a couple of work mistakes recently that are bringing me down. I am trying to remember the sage advice I gave to Vonnie when she said the same thing! Eye-wink sigh . . .

Speaking of which, who knows how she is doing?

Just peeking in to say hi all. Been wasting too much time on the computer tonight and need to get to bed.

HI all -

I am trying to limit my typing here, but am still reading! So sorry if my posts are short...

I am wondering about Vonnie too - hope she is well.

Hope things are looking up Shaun - workwise.

Does DS have many sleepovers Heidi??

Jenny, wow you are smoking!!

My next project (I think) is digging up a new landscaping area next to our garage - need to dig up sod and bring in some dirt. We have a bunch of really nice mulch left over so that inspired me. Maintaining at home, laundry, cooking, etc.

Bye!

various other piddly things that I don't remember but must have gotten done because I haven't sat down to do anything for myself all day.

I'm working on the kitchen some today. have drip pans from the oven soaking in Easy Off right now. Tonight both girls have ball games, DH has weight watchers and fire dept. meeting. Always something!

Time to go!

Andrea, hope your hand gets to feeling better. Mine is bothering me today, too. Not sure what is up with that.

Love to see the video

Submitted by Andrea on Thu, 05/04/2006 - 3:45pm.

Love to see the video Jackie! I've just seen your hospital pics.

DS9 got his wrist off today and is wearing a "support" - 2 in a pack so I"m wearing one too. Hopefully that will help. He is still in pain and baseball is a big ?. It's a shame b/c he is a great player and LOVES it. It is a very big deal in our town. Maybe I'm experiencing "sympathy pain"!

Jenny, I can't believe how busy you are. I could not do it. Even with my job I am not as busy as you!! My personality is not cut out for it!

Must be all that Coke

Submitted by Shaun on Thu, 05/04/2006 - 8:32pm.

to keep Jenny going, that is. Eye-wink

Just got home late from scrapping at a friend's house. Her DH skipped town with the two older kids and left her home alone with the screaming infant (note: skipped town as in went on a previously scheduled trip, not as in took off for good), so she invited a bunch of other ladies over to keep her company for a night. Good fun as always -- gossip, wine, brownies, spinach dip. All the necessities for a moms night out!

I did end up solving one work crisis while still making my deadline, so I am pretty happy with that.

Hoping to have a relaxing weekend!

This list has really gotten

Submitted by jennye on Sat, 05/06/2006 - 7:26am.

This list has really gotten slow lately.

Becky, sounds like a busy day!

Heidi, mulch for hair! LOL!

I enjoyed a nice day at home yesterday (yay!). No practices, no games, no other committments except for me and my beloved Braves game and a Margarita. No, not alone. But just home. Braves went to 14 or 15 innings! But we won (finally, my husband was driving me nuts about how he wanted to change the channel. He is not a sports fan. I have that dept.)

Yesterday we cleaned the garage. We took out two trailer loads of stuff (some trash, some to store in the house next door that is my storage shed). And we swept it out good. And I've convinced my husband to at least take out the garage door and put on french doors! So that is hopefully the plan this afternoon. to go to Lowes to find or order some doors. yay! Which means when we get those bad boys installed, that room will be weather/sand/rodent/wasp/snake proof and I can work at my own pace on fixing the rest of it up (tile floor, fix and paint walls, beadboard, light fixtures, etc). It's going to be the music/workout/some toys room (weightset is out there, deep freezer, and I'm kicking DH's bass guitar stuff out there so that he's not interupting my TV time when he wants to play).

Ok, so, plan for today. Find my desk, again (!?) and get ready to go to town. And hopefully other stuff as well.

another busy day

Submitted by Becky on Sat, 05/06/2006 - 10:27am.

Today my goal is to do as many Flylady emails as possible. Whenever I do a day like that, things always end up looking nicer. Also I might help DH pack up his studio, if he is in the mood for it.

Well, I did do as many Flylady emails as possible, but I had a headache most of the day and "as many as possible" wasn't very many. So today is more packing, more Flylady, and go shoe-shopping. (Not fun. My feet are hard to fit.)
