Do anything Wednesday

[Twins' Mom]

Taking another break here, myself. I need to make a li&t of what else I need to do. Will be leaving in two hours for dr appointment which won't take long. Broccoli casserole is in the oven - since it has eggs I'm baking today and will reheat for tomorrow. I need a change of pace, even tho the kitchen is still a mess!

-straighten family room from dkids late night activity
-fold lol and reboot
-make the bed
-take a basket of laundry upstairs and put away

After this I need to s2s and get ready to go. Casserole is out of oven about 11:15 and the challah will need to be shaped in about 30 minutes, and then to bake after the casserole comes out.

I've s2s and cleaned the bathrooms. Slow progress today but I'm happy because every time I look out a window, I see snow!

Lilac yes I'd say it's definitely dd2's turn!

Good news I'm down 3 lbs. yea!

Today bs is acceptable barely.

I need to get a few things at the store.

H. said he would get out the folding table today we will
need to clean it.

I need to make up a jello.
Granny duty today mid day dd got called in to work.

Way to go every one!

Two business calls distracted me. That makes three for the day. Most days the phone doesn't ring at all, and virtually never for me.

I did get the laundry on the drying rack folded and put away and fresh towels put out.

If I work quickly, I can finish my Tuesday kitchen chores by lunch time. So that's my current goal.

[Twins' Mom]

Need to leave soon - still haven't finished kitchen clean up but I went ahead and did s2s and packed for trip.

While I'm out I need to stop at cleaners and drop off some Goodwill stuff.

So.....
Dry cleaning to car
kitchen clean up
check in with dkids who are still sleeping

Aaaaack! Just realized I forgot to put the challah in the oven to bake!

I survived Girls' Night Out with Sleepover! DD wanted to eat at a different Chinese restaurant, near my house. Then she decided that it was too far to go to Chuck E Cheese and wanted to watch Hogan's Heroes at my house. I remembered to put the trash out to the curb and to deposit the check. Tonight I am having more Chinese food at a friend's house. I am picking it up after work. Tonight I need to do a little kitchen work (unload dishwasher, reload, put away papers). I wish I could have gotten an hour's more sleep this morning.

At payroll, I have literally nothing to do. Hurry up and wait. I hate having nothing to do at payroll, it makes me worry about my job.

Good morning! Well -- it IS morning for another 15 minutes, at least.

I just realized I never posted yesterday. We came home early from school, b/c of fears of severe weather. That never materialized, so it was just a great day to lie around and nap!

Then last night, we went to see the movie Courageous. Oh my goodness! If you have not seen that, run, don't walk, to your nearest theater. And be SURE to take all the fathers in your lives. It was WONDERFUL. I may have had an extra-strong reaction to it b/c I was watching with ds, a father-to-be, but it should be required viewing for all young fathers. It had some really sad moments, but it also had some real LOL moments, too.

Dmom's family doctor said he really thought the pain she is having is coming from the other disc, the one surgeon did NOT touch. Hmmm... He told her to try seriously resting it, no more exercise except what she could do lying in bed, and if there was no improvement by next week, he would x-ray then and see what was going on. She's really feeling pretty miserable right now, though, and I think she feels bad about not contributing to dinner @ ddad's family, but of course they all understand what she is going through.

I do not contribute much at all to any of the dinners we get at holidays, either... but I do not complain about leftovers (or anything else I am served)! I am taking soft drinks to dsisil's tomorrow. If we eat w/my family, I bake cookies, and usually take soft drinks & rolls, also. I didn't bake cookies for dsisil b/c ds doesn't like them w/out pecans, and dnephew can't have pecans. I sorta feel bad about not doing more for dsisil, but OTOH, her mom & her sister pitch in, too, and they ALL bring enough to feed two armies. I soothed my guilt by contributing to needy family fund @ school.

I'm also hoping ddil isn't too sad & homesick. They are having dinner w/our family tomorrow. First time she's been away from her family for T'giving.
It's kind of PMS, but I am sooo afraid having a baby is going to make her miss her family more, you know, and I DON'T want her to be sad... and I DON'T want them to move away from here... and ds tells me that is NOT happening... so yeah, it's just PMS talking. I mean, ds has never promised that they would not move to a more half-way destination between the two families, but there is no way under the sun they could afford that right now -- or in the foreseeable future -- so I need to get myself busy and quit thinking so much.
But I don't want her to be sad. I even felt bad about going to the movies w/ds, while she was working, but we VERY often invite her to come along with us when ds is working... so again... ds told me this was NOT an issue for anyone but ME.

Today, I need to take SUV and get brake light replaced. One side has gone out.
Otherwise... I don't have much on my agenda. Maybe go help dmom a little, if there is anything I can do for her.

Fingers decided they need a vacation.

[OKay]

....wondering if Indiana fingers are vacationing on the warm beaches or shivering in the snowy north? Hum..... ((((Indiana))))

Thanksgiving cooking is progressing along nicely. 3 dishes are finished. 5 dishes are in progress. 3 dishes not started yet.

LO is napping (with DH) so I'm leaving the turkey cooking in the oven while making the 60 mile trip to get 3 teenagers. They have been calling and requesting me to get them ASAP, however I first needed to find a place to stop cooking before I could.....Then I need to take a DPepsi break to refresh my self before heading out.

My 5x5

1) invite dcousin to Thanksgiving supper √
2) upload last of new photos, consider order
3) order from fabric store online (to hang Christmas quilt)
4) make appt with doctor √
5) shopping/library trip two towns away √

The trip out was detoured many ways, and dd and I finally did more good at the nice grocery store than anywhere else. Although we found some books at that town's library, they are not what either of us had hoped. So-so. The trip took hours.

Back here at home, I've made up some juice and am having that now.

HRH says that my ddad slept a lot of the time we were gone and he has slept a lot since then, so I hope he's feeling okay.
