Wednesday's Mission I finally did get some of my errands done today (gas and a carwash) and then went to nieces game (they lost, but did well.) Tomorrow I need to hit the grocery store and Costco, probably wash the sheets and a little housework.

Glad you managed to get out and about. I understand that sometimes you just don't want to go running around, LOL. I had an executive board meeting last night, then came home and made dinner (late), fed the kitties and tried to watch some of my tape from MOnday. I did manage to get a load of laundry done. Tonight I have Investment Club so the most I think I will get done is to run the dishwasher when I get home.

LOL, Dipo, for a second I thought that said you made dinner for the kitties, was wondering what you would make them when I saw the comma and "fed." I just finished the rest of my errands today. Picked up Caleb's prescription (dr and insurance got that figured out,) gave the pharmacist a tip for accutane when she mentioned we must have great insurance since I only paid $20 for it (dr needs to fill out a paper for insurance stating the acne they are trying to treat is medical and not cosmetic before insurance covers it,) and did a bit of grocery shopping (milk, tomatoes, potatoes.) Came home and was stunned for a second, Caleb washed the breakfast dishes, wiped counters, swept the kitchen floor and took out the small bag of trash. That was a nice surprise.

Thursday's Mission Ya know, Dfennessey, there are times he really tries my patience being a typical teenager, lol, but most of the time I realize what a great kid he is. And it's rather nice to walk in and see he's unexpectedly cleaned the kitchen. I don't have much planned for tomorrow. Need to go buy some new headphones so I can watch the bb live feeds and that's about it.

I ran the dishwasher last night when I got home from my meeting, I was very tired and ended up going to bed right away. It is going to be hot and stifling here today and hot on the weekend, so not much will probably get done. I need to unload the dishwasher tonight and that will probably be it, of course I must watch BB, LOL.

Friday's Mission Hot, humid, thunder, lightening, and sprinkles here today. It's still miserable now at 12:30. Nieces came over for several hours today. Probably have them a few more times over the weekend as well. I thought about doing some cleaning this evening, but it was just too hot for it. Kitchen sink was stopped up too, Darren fixed that and discovered our garbage disposal has a hole and is leaking so we'll have to replace that this weekend. Tomorrow it's seriously going to depend on the weather for how much I get done. If it's like it was today, I'll be doing very little.

I hear you on the weather, supposed to get up to 100 here! I turned the air conditioner on at 10 am, it was already 80 in the house! So far I have done nothing but watch the live feeds, LOL. I do have a load of laundry I should run down before it gets to much hotter. And I should go and make some food for the weekend, I think I will do potato salad this weekend. So I guess I better start using my timer so I can get a few things done today.

Woo hoo, potato salad! I have a big bag of potatoes and may do that myself. I got up at 8 and Caleb already had the swamp cooler on. Couldn't complain a bit cuz it needed to be on. If we have dry heat, me and the kids can sit here with the fans going and not even think of the coolers til 1 or 2 in the afternoon, but this humid stuff is awful..

yep, the heat is bad, I looked out at my temp gauage on the balcony a couple of hours ago and it was already 100! Potato salad done, just finished making some hummingbird food, downloaded bblite, OMG what a fabulous program I must go and donate some money to them! So I also uninstalled RealPlayer, and when I restarted the computer needed an update of adobe flash, so I have been doing a bunch of computer stuff. Cleaned up my desk and activated a credit card.

Only 95 today so far, got up early and refilled all the water and soda bottles, cleaned up the kitchen, and got ready for the day. Went to lunch with my sister at Claim Jumper, yeah! then we ran over to Cost Plus and I bought a great "studio sofa" which can be a loveseat, chaise lounge or lays flat out like a bed. I can now decide to sleep in the living room with the AC if it is too hot in the bedroom, or I can have guests. It was on sale and I got $100 off. We had to take it out of the box to get it into my sisters car, LOL, but got it home and put together. Picked up a few things on the way home at the store, some pre-cooked baked chicken! Now I have some chicken to go with my potato salad. My sister will take my old sofa, she needs it to replace her sofa that is giving her hip problems, so it all works out. It lightens up my living room because it is a lighter feeling sofa and my old was is more dense and made of leather. I have one more load of laundry to do and need to change the sheets, so I guess that will be for tomorrow.

105 here today, but at least it wasn't as humid as it's been. I didn't get too much done. We ran to the store to pick up some things we needed (I'll go grocery shopping in the next few days I guess.) Caught up on some shows. Went to a bbq. That was about it. Tomorrow I'll get a little cleaning and laundry done. Oldest niece is coming to spend the night and her, Kota and I are going to the movies either tomorrow or Monday.

Monday's Mission Took the girls to the movies today, we had fun. Oldest niece is spending the night, her and Kota are in Kota's room now playing. They've been pretty quiet today cuz Darren is sick. Sore throat and cold type symptoms. He's already said he doesn't think he's going to work tomorrow. I think it's going to be an early night for us, he feels lousy and my head is hurting. No plans for tomorrow yet though the rest of the week will be busy for us.

Hope Darren feels better soon and that that headache of yours is not indicating that you (or the kids) will commiserate with him. A few things got done last week, but not many. With 4 medical appointments, I pretty much gave up on routines and missions. Only one appointment this week - so far. When I tripped over the granddoggies, I apparently messed up the rotator cuff in my left shoulder. No wonder it wasn't getting any better. So now I am making my physio guy rich. My intentions are good for today. A few blessings here and there and if I am still ambitious, those fridges just might get boogied. I'll let you know tomorrow if any of it became real.

LOL, hope you guys are feeling better, Wargod & family, Lumbele! I managed to do very little on Sunday, watched a bunch of TV, I did clean up the kitchen and refill water bottles. Tonight, if it cools off (they say it will) I may do my last load of laundry, I will need to water the plants, maybe do some Investment Club work, we shall see once I get home.

My headache was just normal migraine type (never fully developed into a migraine luckily.) Been fighting it for a week, weird as it sounds I think it had a lot to do with the hot, humid, sprinkly but not quite raining weather. Darren went to urgent care first thing this morning. He has a viral infection, so not much they can do other than to tell him to rest and take otc stuff. He's feeling so lousy he came home and went right back to bed, hasn't been up since. Lum, thats what my week is looking like, with the appointments. The kids have their annual physicals tomorrow (I need to check calendar to be sure of that) and then Wednesday Caleb has Freshman Welcome day at the high school. He's also got his math test he needs to take to see if he can skip algebra this year. There's a couple things I need to do at the school while I'm there, so not sure how long I'll spend there. Since he's taking the math test, he may have to go back Thursday to finish the freshman welcome stuff so I have to keep that day free as well. Just picking up around the house today and doing some grocery shopping. Kids have been informing me all morning we don't have any breakfast food and oh poor them, they had to eat sandwiches.

Tuesday's Mission Ended up doing my cleaning this evening instead of earlier, too hot. Did my grocery shopping (mostly cereal, bread, and fresh fruit/veggies.) Darren has already called in for tomorrow. He's feeling a little better and said he may go to the kids physicals tomorrow if he's up to it. Normally I wouldn't have asked since he doesn't feel well, but Caleb has some boy type questions for the dr and er, things they only do to boys, and I figured he'd be more comfortable with dad there. I've got Kota's med form (to take her inhaler to school) filled out, the part I have to fill out that is. Dr will have to fill the rest out and sign. Shot records and medical cards are sitting on the table so we're all ready to go. Haven't decided what else I'll be doing tomorrow. May wait til the evening again to do my cleaning if it's too hot during the day again and definitely have to do a couple loads of laundry tomorrow night. Sis called earlier to ask if oldest niece could stay longer. She was heading to the ER and with oldest here and middle niece at the other cousins house, she only had to worry about the baby. Her sil dropped a can on sis' foot (accident) and broke three of her toes and a small bone in her foot. They wrapped her toes and gave her a boot. I may end up over there helping out a little if she needs it.

Wednesday's Mission Dr's appt went well, got the paperwork I needed filled out and we're all done with that. Scheduled the kids derm appts and lab appts. Took Caleb for a haircut (he has to take pics tomorrow) and took him to buy a couple new outfits for school. Tonight I got a little cleaning done and a couple loads of laundry. Tomorrow is going to be a very early day, have to drop Caleb off before 8 at the school. Also need to run by the health office to drop a form off while I'm there. I'll probably do some cleaning early if it's not too hot, otherwise I'll wait til tomorrow evening. Think it's time to take the vacuum apart and clean it out cuz it's not picking up real well. I think that's it for tomorrow.

Thursday's Mission Caleb went to his school thing, joined rotc and changed his schedule around some. He had a good time. He walked in the house this afternoon and said, "Mom! Senior girls are hot!!!" They were broken into smaller groups and each group had an upper classman as a leader. Caleb's group consisted of a lot of the kids he took the summer math bridge class with last year, so he knew other kids. And he's tickled pink that the hot, senior girl will be his mentor? buddy? for the year. Cleaned up the house some today and took the vacuum apart, works much better now that it's all cleaned out. Took Kota to the batting cages this evening after dinner and that was pretty much my day. Not sure what's in the plans for tomorrow yet. Not much cleaning to do, I'll probably do a load or two of laundry in the evening. Dakota's going over to spend the afternoon at my sister's house, just to give her something to do. That's really about it.

LOL, Caleb cracks me up. I unloaded the dishwasher, cleaned up the kitchen (had hand-washed some stuff), watched Big Brother, cleared some email and went to bed around 9. Was really tired since I am busy with several projects at work (first I was bored to death, now I have several projects). I may do my one load of laundry tonight while I watch BB, its something I can run out quickly for at commercials, LOL. And I keep forgeting to change the sheets until I am already in bed so maybe I will do that when I get home, LOL.

Dipo, Darren came home feeling the same way. We ended up watching a couple movies and vegging this evening. Middle niece came, stayed for a couple hours, and then wanted to go home. Sometimes she gets a little homesick...if her sisters are here, she shakes it off and is fine, but with them not here she was ready to leave. So took her home, she said maybe tomorrow her and her big sis could come spend the night, lol.
