I go out of town on Thursday for a week for a conference for work so for the next three days I am pretty much just getting ready for all of that. I basically have all of my clothes ready, I just have to pack them. I am concentrating in the evenings on getting the house straight. I don't want to leave a mess or anything to come back to. Tonight I hope to accomplish the following...
- Cook Dinner
- Clean up Dinner
- Straighten, dust and vacuum the office and spare bedroom
- Work on travel plans. i.e. get addresses, directions, etc together.

*Picked up DS's x-rays from his dentist to give to his oral surgeon Thursday when he has his procedure done.
*Bought DD and DH tickets to see Cats.

Now DH, DS and I are home doing some cleaning up, relaxing and getting lunch ready.

Well let's see...

Got the boys and myself up this morning and fed, and out the door, boys to school and babysitter, and myself to work

Got out of work early, ran to the eye doctor to pick up contacts...and they closed at noon?(wth??), so from there went to bank and deposited money for boys savings accounts

Came home..put some dried laundry away and did some dishes...waiting for the dishes to dry so I can do another load..

I need to pick up the livingroom and dining area and vacuum....

I need to do a few loads of laundry and hang to dry

When I pick up the boys from the sitter I need to run to the bank again to deposit money in my account this time and pay my rent for next month...

Then home for dinner and dishes and more laundry!!

Well today I had to work so I was up at 5:15. Got ready, took the dog out watched Headline News and checked my email. Then I went into my office (at home) and started work. Got 16 yo teen daughter up at 6 and she gets herself off to school (sad but true-wasn't I just putting her hair in pigtails every morning?). So I worked half a day. Then I took the my dog and a dog I do pet sitting for for a walk. Then I ran to redbox to get my free DVD and the store also had an instore coupon for hot dogs so I got a package of that (for my daughter and husband-I am vegetarian). Then I had lunch and went back to work. Then I was going to make something but DD got invited to eat over at her boyfriends house and DH did not want anything so I just had my own vegetarian hot dogs and some mac n cheese. So, now I am going to go watch that DVD, then when DD comes home help her study for her CNA written test next Friday, then bath, then read, then sleep-hopefully.
