What are you doing today?

Well... for today for the first time I'll have more kids than hands. I'm babysitting an 8 month old girl from South Africa while her parents are in meetings with my husband and his boss all day.... so I'll have a three year old a 14 month old and a 8 month old for the day. (My husband works for a missionary organization). ( I'm already exhausted thinking about it!). But then tonight I get to go out to a fancy-dancy restaurant in my prettiest cocktail dress with my husband and some of his co-workers (who I love too!). Good times. :)
 
My ILs are coming over in a bit to paint our downstairs family room. They're helping us get the house ready for sale in the spring. I'm taking Kaylee to the walk-in clinic for a check-up since she had an ear infection last week. I chose to do it today rather than yesterday so I can get away from my MIL for a bit. LOL While there I have to pick up a bit of groceries and maybe a DS game or 2. (the walk-in clinic is in a mega grocery store)

After they leave (which last time was until almost 3:30) I'll be coming on here and be surfing/scrapping for the rest of the day :)
 
I am going to work for as long as I can today on a site design I'm doing. Benjamin has been sick for two days, so I'm listening to him whine on the couch, since he had to stay home from school.

Otherwise, that's all my plans, because it's blowing a storm outside, and there's no way I'm leaving this house...the wind chill is -6F (I know it's not as cold as the Prairies, but it's still cold).
 
We WERE going to see the King Tut exhibit at the Museum today, but Daddy's home sick and I got the free times messed up, so I'm not sure how we're going to do it. We have Tae Kwon Do tonight and that's it :)
 
I have to do a budget for this week, pay bills, get groceries, travel 30 mins away to get special pet food (:cursing:), then I'm coming back and starting the Couch to 5k program, cleaning and then scrapping.
 
well, our current temp is -7° so the only thing I really want to do is go back to bed. brrr! DS has preschool this morning but other than that we have no plans. I need to catch up on some laundry so I guess that's my day.
 
This has been my week from heaven - I quit my job (after 18 years with this company) and I'm off this whole week and start a new job next Tuesday. I've quilted a Valentines wallhanging, bought fabric to make a twirl skirt for DD, cleaned my house, done laundry, shopped, scrapbooked - wheeeeee!! Today, I'm having lunch with a friend at Pei Wei, going to do some more digi work, and possibly going to cut out that little skirt for DD. While I'm excited to start a new job (nervous too), I've really enjoyed my week off.
 
Well so far I'm at work. Since I felt like poop yesterday I didn't ride the bike, so I should try and do that tonight. I need to put together a hybrid project I've been working on, and scrap a LO or two or twelve.

Seriously, if anyone sees my mojo wandering around, tell she better get her butt home! :glare:
 
Well, this morning is going to be crazy!!!

I have to go into school a little bit early.
Finalize my sub plans.
Try to get out of there before the kids see me.
Report to the court for jury duty.
and then
WHO KNOWS!!!
 
I am sitting on my butt in front of the computer all day like I did yesterday and the day before. It's getting old, I need to do laundry, clean, exercise. Can you say BORED?
 
Kids are on a 2 hour delay - as it's only 3 degrees outside with a wind chill of -10 so I'm getting them ready before I head out the door myself to go to work. I so need to find another job but right now this one is really convenient. if my kids are on a delay, then so am I!!! how sweet is that??
 
Have had a pretty productive day so far.

Did a couple loads of laundry
Cleaned the stairwell (it's our week)
Did some grocery shopping
Got dinner in the crock pot
Took a nap

Now on my afternoon coffee having a "discussion" with hubby about teen sex. lol
 
It is currently -15 outside right now...they called off school so I have the 4 boys and DH, who cannot walk to do anything, home with me ALL day!!!! I am gonna be the mean Mom and make them do chores all day though so I can sleep since the twins got me sick AGAIN!!!!
 
Well my kids had a 2 hour delay this morning so I've been kind of thrown off my schedule. But right now we are hanging out in the living room playing Mario Party on the DS's waiting for the bus to come at 10:20AM. I have a load of laundry in the washer, one in the dryer and I just folded the white clothes, so I'll be working on that today through out the day. After I get the kids on the bus I plan on exercising....then doing my dishes.....and then hopefully getting caught up on the challenges (I left off on the 11th and now I'm like 4 behind and I HATE that!!!).

We are having Potato Soup and homemade French bread for dinner so I'll get that started sometime today too (the bread is just being made in the bread machine) and other then that I plan on staying warm, playing with my boys and scrapping!!!! :D :D

I already got G off to school and am waiting for L's preschool to start.
Then I am off to Walmart to pick up allergy meds, hand soap and more Kleenex. I can sense the cold that is about to hit all of us.
After that I need to do some design work while I have a quiet house. And I still have those 462 wedding photos to edit.
 
I am at work. Freezing my behind off. It's -2 with a wind chill of -15. It's 73 degrees in my office according to the thermostat and my fingernails are purple. I'm fairly sure it's not actually 73 in here. I want to be at home on my laptop. I should have stayed home w/ Abby today since she has an ear infection but she wanted to go to daycare so I let her.
 
Unfortunately I'm at work but I'm sick so as soon as paychecks get here I am going home........... I'm going to sleep until I can't sleep anymore, clean up the house since I found out last night that my il's are staying with us this weekend, and then I'm going to TRY to scrap. I'll pick up the kids around 4:30, get a pizza for dinner and then it's bath time and bedtime. Then more sleep for me!!!!

I'm 99% sure I won't be coming to work tomorrow........ especially since I have NOTHING to do. My boss is seriously slacking these days and it makes for VERY LONG days.
 
Today I'm going to work on my new releases for this weekend, and scrap a layout...and nap. I was sick last night and didn't get to sleep until after 4:30 and was back up by 7:30. I is tired. LOL!
 
Well, hmm, I may be having a baby. :)

Honestly, I've posted on some of my CT boards that it could be any time now, but we're definitely scheduled for next Tuesday if she doesn't come before then. I'm 37 1/2 weeks and she's already measuring 8.5 on ultrasound. They also checked me and my body is very ready. I've been running last-minute errands this morning and I can just tell things are happening. I've never gone into labor on my own (was induced w/ the other two because they were huge too), so I don't really know what it all feels like, but I can feel that things are a-changing down there. Yikes!
 
i have already done one photo session this morning and hoping to go and start on some the renovations we are doing at the studio. made my new gift certificates too. so yeah, i guess i am working today.
 
I'm working on some altered blocks for my house. Then I'm gonna try and get caught up on some challenges.
 
Today is my birthday so we are going out tonight for dinner :)

I think a little later I need to pick up a few thigns at walmart and FIL gave me some $$ so I am going to old navy for a couple of cardigans I saw and loved.
 
colored my hair, did homeschooling, balanced the checkbook, getting ready to fix lunch and then a friend is coming over to visit so the boys will watch some movies as we have some girl talk!!!!
 
Well, I need to do some laundry, clean the bathrooms (since I didn't do that yesterday), unload the dishwasher for DH (he does the dishes! :wub:) and I have to make a pumpkin roll for dinner at our pastor's house tomorrow. But, first I need to make sure I have all the ingredients. If not, I have to drive 20 minutes to go get some! Ugh! lol
Oh, HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRISCILLA!!!!
 
Oh, and thanks for the reminder Jami...I need to ballance my check book too!
And, DH is putting our new 1TB hard drive in the computer tonight! YAY!!!!!!

The girls have a 4 day break from school starting tomorrow so tonight will be a nice relaxing night since we won't have to get up early in the morning!
 
I did some work this morning. Then entertained the kids for a while. And now I should be doing laundry or baking but I'm thinking a nap sounds nice (had another 4-hours-of-sleep night).
 
I woke up in a cleaning frenzy this morning..I've got all the downstairs spic and span and smelling nice and clean. My mom and Aunt came over with a baby gift this morning and now Avery is playing quietly and Ella is napping and I'm hoping to get a little scrapping done. :)
 
Wooo! I added data service and I am infact checking in from my phone! Wooo!

K on to the next task! If infact I can drag myself away from my awesome phone! :)
