Tuesday

Back to school at our house. Went in to wake dd up and she said "you just said goodnight to me!"
Not much planned today.

It's snowing!!! We got about 4 inches last night and it's still going. Apparently it's not heading to Boston because the news isn't even mentioning that it's snowing anywhere.

I have to clean the 2 houses today for my old men. Only 2 more times then I'm done cleaning. YEAH!!! My "real" job is getting busier as I learn more so I just can't clean them anymore. But I don't think they will be able to find anyone to clean them as cheap as I do and they can't afford to go higher. :-( But I can't be in 3 places at once.

I'm off to the bus stop to look like a snowman.

Good morning. Dull, cold here. The sun has shone I think a total of 5 hours in 2+ weeks.

Work today...funeral home tonight for the wake for my uncle. Have to cancel coffee with a friend. Dh is coming home today from ice fishing.

Took down all my Christmas decorations last night before my volunteer shift, even the tree. Now I just have to vacuum.

Ann, very cute reply from dd this a.m. :)
LindaM, hope you stay warm and dry today

Morning came WAY too early this morning... I SO didn't want to get out of bed! LOL I woke up at 4:30 this morning and had the hardest time falling back to sleep. Dh was snoring like crazy and I can't fall asleep unless it's REALLY quiet. LOL I think I fell asleep about 15 minutes before I had to get up :rolleyes: so needless to say... I'm feeling a little like a zombie this morning. LOL

It's suppose to get up into the 50's today... that's EXTREMELY warm for us for this time time of the year. We still haven't gotten any snow :yippee: which is good, so I'm planning on getting the kids outside to play for a while today. Nothing planned for my evening yet... and I'm hoping nothing comes up. Good TV night tonight.

Anyhow... I hope you all have a good day today. :) :)

Diane... :wave:

Woke up to the phone ringing before 7. A friend wanted me to watch her baby today, but I said no. I have him tomorrow and I have too much that I want to get done today. Both dks have school today. I am expecting a tough drop-off for youngest ds as he has been on break since November. :\

Tired morning here. It was after 2:30 before I could fall asleep last night because of this stupid cough. I made the mistake of cleaning our room and cleaning out the closet. I didn't think there'd be that much dust but there must have been. My throat is itchy and scratchy. Almost worse than it was before I started cleaning. Guess that's a good excuse not to clean today! LOL

Ds complained about this and that hurting all morning. I know he just didn't want to go to school. I told him to just do his best and bring things home so we can help him with it. I also told him we weren't mad at him. I think that made him feel a little better.

Have to run get ds #3 after while from school. Until then it's just me and dd #2. She's watching CMT right now and waiting for me to go to Nick.com.

Have a good day all!!:)

Morning everyone,

Very windy here again today. Also warm for us this time of year, just wearing thin coats rather than winter ones, supossed to go up to 9 C today, wow cant believe this weather and no snow. This type of weather is mid spring weather for us.

DS#1 and 2 are at school, so a quiet day here. No DCK 's till next week, have had 2 weeks off so it will be hard to get back inot the swing of things especially with only 1 vehicle. Drove DH to work this Am. Afterschhol today DS#2 has hockey, so I will take there then off to pick up DH and take him to his 2nd job.

Going to try and make some cookies today, and just basic tidy up.

Have a great day everyone.

JAK - My "real" job is at my girlfriends Accounting Company. I basically pay really rich peoples bills, (ex. for one week there bills will be $5,000-25,000). I'm starting to learn how to do Hedge funds which I don't know a whole lot about other than One man convinces other people to invest with him a minimun of $100,000 and he gets a percentage of anything he makes. Our company manages it for him.

I started in September and I didn't tell my "old men" because I knew they wouldn't be able to find anyone else to clean for them. I get $15 for one house and $20 for the other. I know am I crazy??? No just a sap is what my husband says. My girlfriend is great and says to go ahead and clean them she doesn't care what time I work as long as by the end of the month everything is done, thats all that matters.

Over xmas break I only worked Monday and Fridays because of the kids being home and she was fine with that. She is awesome!!!

Today I found out one of the "men" is moving into a VA home in Boston so I'll only have one left I think I'll just keep doing him because it's just once a week and like I said he will never find anyone else. And he's not messy or dirty just more lonely than anything.

I'm a sap I know!!!

Afternoon all!!!


I had great plans for today. I was going to finish cleaning. I did get all the Christmas put up yesterday, but hadn't moved the furniture back. Was going to make homemade rolls for several families from Church who need a special thought. Was going to clean out dd's room. Was going to piano lessons at 1:00.


So, what happened......


On my way to drop dd off at her school, the office calls me. They needed me to sub. A teacher had an emergency. And there was no one to fill the assignment. I ended up being the music teacher.

Her lesson plans had 5 words and there was no schedule for the day. Thankfully, I know the school and schedule and came up with a lesson plan very quickly. The teachers commented that I was the best sub and the only one who could have handle this type of situation. It was fun. It just plain wears me out!!! I don't know how y'all teachers do it every day!!!!


Anyway, we are home now. And I have to get caught up on all that I didn't do. I just had two chocolate fixes. I hope my energy level comes back soon.

Dd and I are going to babysit a 3 week old tonight. The mom will be there, but needs to rest. Her dh is out of town on a job, and the baby is up 4 times a night and ready for the day at 3:00am. She is just totally exhausted. DD is so excited. I think that I will take her some left-overs. We have alot of food left in the fridge. Is this tacky? I just made the food yesterday.

Perhaps a fresh salad and hamburger pattie just so she doesn't have to cook for herself. What do y'all think????


Well, I better get busy. (Still waiting for the chocolate to work. LOLOL)

Popping in really late tonight.

Back to school, back to work, and back to routines :\

Why does it have to be sooo dark in the mornings. It is so hard to get up.

Hope you all had a great day :)
