Ever feel like you've been hit by a bus?
I got super-itchy last night and took some Benadryl. It knocked me out really well and stopped the itching. However, I woke up with a gigantic headache...like ALL the snot in my head is dried up and caked to the walls of my sinuses. My ears even hurt! I only had one time all night where my legs almost cramped - so that's pretty good.
Despite the gloomy weather, I charged up the Jeep batteries; hubby doesn't leave for work until 3:15pm so why not be prepared. Usually they play outside even when it is wet, as long as it is not raining or lightning. It appears the rain will start up again around 2pm, which is fine because hubby takes his shower at 2:15.
I got 25% of Grade 1 Spelling scanned in last night - as predicted. Today I'll finish scanning the other 75%, and I hope to start the "Cells" book too. There is something VERY rewarding about the scanning process - I love to archive - I'm like a data hoarder.
I finished cutting out my cloth wipes last night, and I accidentally cut right into the last one just a little. So I have 19 good wipes and 1 hacked wipe that I can repair or trash. The next step is to sew up all the edges to prevent fraying. Then they can go in the baby clothes wash pile with the cloth diapers. I'm planning on searching my closet and fabric collections today for more soft flannel material to create more wipes. Most people online recommend having 2-3 dozen cloth wipes on hand, so I need about 16 more.
Today's menu for the kids is: B - Toast, Banana, Grapes, & Cherry Tomatoes (T only); L - Hot Dogs & Rice or Mashed Potatoes or Pasta Salad; D - Mexican Ziti. Today's menu for me: Vienna sausage sandwich, hot dogs, chick peas, & whatever else I can find.
I forgot to mention the nightlight conquest! For the past 3 nights I've tried to get the twins to sleep without a night light; reasons include they don't sleep as soundly as they should, and the blue glow stimulates J's sleepwalking. I really need these big kids to sleep through the night EVERY night now that a baby is coming. So the first and second nights they got up as usual and hubby put the night light back in; they got almost half a night's sleep without the light. The second night was the hardest because they gave me a hard time when I put them to bed; they had lots of monsters and bad guys questions, but I comforted them. Then last night they each got up (I know T got up - not sure about J), but never asked for the light back. So, hubby never put it back in there. In other words, last night they slept with NO night light! I love saving electricity!
So today I want to get some things done:
Scanning workbooks
Laundry - mine & the twins - I need to see if hubby wants to do his today too
Dishes (I got halfway done last night)
Folding clean towels & sheets
Putting away folded clothes & towels
Entering sweeps
Filling out surveys
Transferring google calendars between accounts
Taking photos
Emptying my cameras
Charging the big camera
Reading more books to the twins
Staying Positive!
