well time to do dailies and do weeklies
goal work in basement

made list for while dd16 is gone.
and I am starving.

[blessedw2]

excersized , had breakfast , now shower and errands
also make dinner early this am
watering before another hot day

isn't it wonderful - a new day!!!

also today: clean out my car
swim with my oldest dd
work on laundry

[blessedw2]

i did not clean out my car. but will do this after grocery shopping for dd older

kitten escaped today and took so long to catch lol very funny sight

ddolder goes back to school today but at least I had her for a 2 days
trying to figure out dh's emotions - cranky, happy, annoyed, sweet.... (I thought menopause was only for women) he is such a good man so I have to ignore the annoyed look he is giving every so often. I am suprised he has survived with me home this far lol

goal: move legos into crawl space
go through closet in basement and put away for free garage sale
exercise

so far: went to grocery store for ddolder: spoiled her a bit today and happy to do it: I cut up and put together meals for her to easily put together. also printed simple recipies to put together salad's, sandwiches, to make guacamole and other general stuff. she went back to school very happy.
(ddyounger and ddolder worked out a plan for ddolder to come home because they didn't want to leave dh and I withouth children (so sweet)

emptied my car, got gas, watered plants,
so time for real work including exercise

blessed, what do you hear from dd16? Hope she is having a wonderful time.

That's great you had time with dd the older while she's away from school. Swimming together - what fun.

[blessedw2]

dd16 said she is having so much fun (thank you dharriet). she said a lot of kids are homesick but she has met so many really nice people and has seen more history in a week than she has in a life time. she has her house stay the 12,13,14 and dd16 doesn't speak any italian. she called last night and i admit I was thrilled. I have never been to italy and have always wanted to. <3

it was really fun having time with ddolder. it's funny when the two girls are together they chat a lot so it was nice just having one on one time!

[Nancy]

Blessed thanks for that update on dd!
Harriet thanks for asking.
I walked first today it's 79* here at 7:30 a.m. SO glad I did that already!
Water will be done in a few min. in the back.
I watered squash on side yard had to go out and do that again mid day as they did not get enough in the morning so I upped that a mount considerably. Put some shade up for 'em too. The others seem to be doing good they have afternoon shade.
Kitchen up next
on to more daily cards
Thanks blessed! WTGG!!!

great work dnancy!!!

with 2 weeks until dd16 comes home I have tons of work. today she is in Pisa (spelling?)

1. excercise
2. laundry (can't water main broke in front of our house)
3. dailies (I don't want to but go and do it now even though I am tired) 7:33 pm
4. smile!!!

watered plants, had a decent lunch too
organized papers (card file)
ready to run an errand - the deer are so hungry they are chewing on the tomato plants through deer spray
drought is hitting the animals here hard
I put water out at night and it's gone by morning

I have been wondering how many she's have had negative type or over bearing people in their lives. struggling with my weight all my adult life and dealing with 1 person in particular who tends to see me as incapable or says they worry about me because of my weight struggle but can not help make fun or critize about my home or my person or family. they see themselves as capable and in control. I am able to have a great self esteem as an adult; but I wonder if any of my fellow she's ever had a family member like that. every so often it gets to me as it did today... but saying bug off is not my style as I know underneath there is love but can't see they can be a ruddy cow at times. breathing in and moving on. you can't change others you can only change yourself and how you react to them.

[Nancy]

{{{Blessed}}} Hope today is better for you.
