Good Afternoon Kids! After half a day at DD's, I'm done. DS & I baked up a quick batch of cookies, and I'm trying to see what else I can get accomplished here at home. I expect next week will be full, so the more I can get done now, the better... Done at DD's? Do you mean done for the day or done as in done with everything you're going to do. I'll take a couple of cookies, please, if they're still warm...

busymom Biscuit Lady sounds so...so...stuffy and prim and, um, ladylike that I decided to be the Biscuit Bitch instead. It's going fine, and I'm getting real good at it Getting up at 3am to get to work at 4am so we can open at 5am isn't all that great, but I only work four days a week, and on Sundays we don't have to be there until 5am and don't open until 6am, so I get to sleep in for an extra hour

I ended up making a small batch of brownies, too. The kids are hungry today, and I wanted to make sure there is something left for DH.

I'm dreading getting back on the ladder. I hate it when I am too tired to sleep at night. The last two weekends haven't been restful and next two aren't looking any better. All of the painting and mess needs to get cleaned up, and be done, by the end of next weekend. DD is coming in the following Thursday and we having a garage sale the last weekend of the month.

I worked outside for awhile this morning, and moved my car to a flat space on the driveway, so I can wash it later. Running the dishwasher right now and a load of laundry is next. Dinner is a pork loin marinating in the fridge.

Sorry to hear of this. Fell and broke my upper humerous on 6/28 that needed to be surgically repaired on July 14th. Not sure all the details were on this thread or on the what are you doing now thread.

Good Evening Kids! Well, the contractor DID come back today, and got most (not all) of my porch railing replaced. However, he was a few pieces short, which means he'll have to come back. Glad to hear that you're healing up, ners. Hopefully the days will go by quickly, and you can catch up on some sleep!

Good Afternoon Kids! It's acting an awful lot like a Monday. Don't ask my opinion of Target right now. But, at least the contractor showed up today...

Good Morning Kids! I finally have the concrete work done on the front porch. Now, it just needs to dry, and get shaped a bit, and that part of the project should finally be done. Unfortunately, it appears the wood used on the railing hadn't been dried properly, so we may not be able to paint it until Fall. Oh well, it'll be here before we know it anyway... It's been a busy morning. I've already dropped off a load of stuff at DD's house, and met another furnace company to get an estimate. This afternoon, my hair gets a trim. Trying to make every day this week productive.

I had my monthly massage yesterday afternoon and got a good nights sleep last night. Both were needed.

Good Morning Kids! We were so busy yesterday, that I forgot to pop in here. Amazingly, they managed to fix DD's furnace (we'd been getting estimates, just in case), but we'll be hanging onto those estimates in case her furnace can't get through this next Winter. DD finally took a day off from work, and she's meeting the guy who will be cleaning the vents today. It's mostly packing & organizing right now. This week is going by too fast! Well, I gotta get back to work...

Well, carp! Apparently the furnace is NOT completely fixed. Unfortunately, that's something DD will have to deal with AFTER the moving truck has delivered all of her stuff. I need to send Murphy packing...

Hi Kids! Taking a short break from packing. But, I really need to get back to it, as the moving truck will be here tomorrow for DD's stuff. Back I go...

busymom If your DD's furnace can be coaxed to limp along through this winter, please make sure she has a carbon monoxide alarm, just in case. Actually a carbon monoxide alarm is a good idea whether she gets a new furnace or not.

Another busy weekend which is going to lead right into a busy week. One bit of good news is my brother is going to put up my new curtain rod. The handyman hadn't shown nor had I heard from him on a potential date. I need to get my house in order. Brother is going to bring over a bunch of stuff from Dad's house for the garage sale. He doesn't know it but he is also going to help me move my desk back into place. Last night I ordered a toddler sleep cot to help out with the sleeping arrangements. I have a queen sized bed in DD's room and we would set up a pack n play. The hope is now that DGS2 can go in the pack and play and either DGD or DGS1 will sleep on the cot and the other one with Mom. Probably won't happen and they will all end up in the bed but I'm trying.

Hello peeps! busymom. it is a wonder you can still function with so much going on! Sharon I am glad to hear you are doing better. Well 44 days since surgery, with 16 more to go until release. Been walking, swimming and on the indoor-mounted road bike. Doing well on all. Surgical area still has some swelling, but really that is it. Went to Walmart this morning. Coming out, I saw a guy sitting outside, on a motorized shopping cart, hooked up to oxygen and having a cigarette. My life could be worse.

The moving truck is out of here. I walked into DD's old bedroom, and it echoes now. But, they ARE supposed to grow up & leave home. It's just for longer than heading off to college, but at least her place is nearby. DH went with her to mow her lawn. It is crazy-hot here today. I'll be making lunch for everyone here at the house, then I'll probably take a carload of stuff after lunch to her place.
