I had some fun with the boys, splashing in the fountains & celebrating the end of the school year. One is not particularly interested in having his picture taken these days. :-)
I've got a lot on my plate for today, and am still feeling the effects of jet lag, but I need to be productive. Here's what's on my list for today:
- Run. Seriously. I was able to do almost nothing in Seoul, so I'm not feeling good about my fitness.
- Make a menu
- Work out schedule for next week, including carpool for the boys
- Take Sam to a birthday party
- Take boys to swimming lessons
- Make a list for next weekend's trip. I'm flying to Portland for my mom's retirement party & to drop the boys off with my parents for a week
- Plan a night at a hotel on Sunday with M for Father's Day.
- Book a dinner reservation for Sunday
- Go through all nanny applications
- Package two eBay sales
- Yoga
- Make/decorate cupcakes for M's birthday
- Fill out all of the cards for upcoming activities (Father's Day - my dad & M, M's birthday, my mom's retirement)
- Get cash for next weekend
- Update work calendar & determine biking/running schedule
- Continue cleaning out the boys rooms. They brought home all of their "end of the school year paraphernalia" when I was out of town, and it's now all over the house. I normally don't allow much/any of that to enter our doors. ;-)
I've had a few frugal wins this week as well:
- Sold two items on eBay. One only sold for $2.25, but the other sold for $20.50. Woohoo!
- Used two $15 offers for Shopping Express (local delivery service in the area) that had been lingering in my inbox, unnoticed, for a delivery of paper towels & toilet paper from Costco. It had no minimum, so I got both for just under $6. Huge win! Saved $30 total. No delivery fee.
Happy Sunday, all! What is on your list to accomplish today?
Welcome back - you always seem to have so much on your plate. Take a few minutes for yourself!
ReplyDeleteI went to bed really early Friday-Sunday, and also read a book for about 30 minutes on my lounge chair. It was pretty great! I like to be outside (but in the shade) when it's hot, and the temperature in the shade was perfect!
DeleteYou are a much better person than I am. I would sleep, and nothing else would get done or looked at until tomorrow. I hope you can find some time for yourself today, to rest and unwind. You deserve it!
ReplyDeleteI could try that, but it just creates more stress because everything adds up. I got a surprising amount done,which makes the week ahead easier. I also read a book and had wine on the patio. On weekends, I find that if I go full steam until 4:00, then relax with a book & a glass of wine from 4-5, life is good. Then I start dinner & finish the evening chores. It's my normal weekend plan.
