week 3 for one and week 1 for the other

-

Good morning blog it is the end of the week and homeschooling is in full swing. Both girls are now doing it full time. The older teen is definitely more invested in finishing the work. The younger is still resistive for the most part. However, she is a lot less resistive to this than PS. So, onward we go.

Keeping up with the four hours is the hardest part, I forget to write down what we did or maybe I procrastinate and then forget. Either way I have to find the book that was my "tool" to keep track of things, but I have buried it under something.

I got up early to pack coolers for the trip to Oklahoma and have been running in circles since. DH had planned to head out by himself and with some of the forgetfulness that has occurred this week it was not what I wanted to happen. In the end he left with the boys following him in the Audi.  I will take care of the animals and kids and try to get done what needs to be done in the meantime.

There was a lot more room in the horse trailer for more boxes than I sent. After a while though you just have to say, "I'm done" and move on.  I am searching this morning for the last of the coffee filters to no avail. I guess that means I do dishes first and move on from there. Just an update... I started stacking the dishes and moved a few things and found the filters. Coffee is brewing. It is now a weekend treat only. Not because of anything special except that I get more done if I do not stop to enjoy a pot first thing in the morning.

Thankfully the key to the minivan was located. It was found by one of the guys when they tried to move a pickup truck out of the way of another pickup truck. How it got in there I will never know and at this point I do not care. Just thankful that it has been found.

This coffee that I am having today is terrible or maybe I just need to adjust to it, either way it tastes weird at best. The brand is Happy, I am not. Luckily, I only bought a small container. 


I would like to think that I can accomplish much this weekend so this may be the only entry for a while.

Just to hold myself accountable here is a list of what I hope to accomplish by Monday:

    A full dumpster    

    A full trash bin

    All laundry washed, dried and put away

    Small mobile home emptied and/or packed up

    Bikes loaded onto Red Dodge Ram

    Kitchen packed and minimum needed for visits in cupboards

    White fridge emptied and ready to go to OK

    Consolidate freezers into one and have one ready to go to OK

    Med Carts packed and ready to load onto car hauler

    All books except TBR and schoolbooks packed

    Main LR packed except furniture

    Guest Room set up

    Small guest room set up

    All floors mopped or vacuumed

    Freeze dryer oil filtered and ready for a load

That should be enough to keep me out of trouble and off of the streets! With that I am going to close and get started. Watch for updates!!!

More adventures of the lazy and the demented

 Every day brings new challenges. Especially if I think I have it all under control. This week brought my oldest granddaughter joining the Air Force. She did tell me she was going to do it. I did encourage it. But others were told that she was leaving for college. So gullible me thought it was still college. Looking back many, many years I realized everyone else except her parents and me, were acting like my mother when I announced I was going to follow my then boyfriend into the service. Negativity with all capital letters, you are too weak, you will never succeed, you cannot handle it, and so on. In retrospect I am honored that she trusted me enough to confide in me. As I type this, I watch someone who is much too old to eat kernels of corn with her fingers do just that. Shower will happen after dinner, as it is a messy one tonight and a shower is needed regardless. Dementia is something I thought I understood fairly well, that is until it moved in. I try to celebrate the little ...

 Hello June, it promised to be a busy month, and it has been. It started with court on the 3rd of the month. We haven't heard anything in regard to that. The 6th of the month brought the teen and I to Arlington Texas for a concert of her choosing. We had a good time and a rapid round trip.  getting ready for concert waiting for the rest of the crowd the young mom that we hung out with on the bus one of the posters she made that we had to toss she planned to take her favorite water cup in but didn't The 11th was another trip with a party on the 14th. A great time was had by all. The return trip was better travel time than the get to the party trip. It was sprinkled with not so good things. In Iowa we witnessed and stopped the car fast enough to at least not become part of a semi-truck versus pickup truck accident. People were not very considerate behind us. I barely got over to the shoulder on the right with the collision in the left lane, and the traffic shot up through the mi...

Only one week left of June

 One week left and still so many things on the schedule. Today we picked up the items that DH purchased at the auction. The kids really enjoyed the gator-type vehicle that he purchased. They each got to drive it around the yard. They both did a surprisingly good job for the first time on such a vehicle. The weather today was especially nice, not too hot and not too cold. The baby goose is getting her feathers in quite nicely and will soon be ready to release to a group of her own kind. In the wild she would remain with her parents for more than a year. She may be able to find a flock and fit right in if she can fly and join them sooner rather than later.  I had to cancel two appointments for, today to accommodate the vehicle pick up and the new teen's mission to adopt a reptile. Mission accomplished after four choice changes in the store. Instead of a Pac-Man frog, or an Anole, or a Bahama Anole, she came home with a Leopard Gecko. Hoping I got the reptile names correct, pleas...
