Monday Chit Chat Thread, 8/13

Worked nights, this weekend, came home and slept less than 4 hours and now it's just wait for dinner to get done in the crock pot and go to hockey. DH is off to work and is still being quiet towards me...it's all business around here. Tell me what I need to know and off you go.

Kenzie had her first day of high school practice today! She was thrilled to be back in the pool. She is off making posters with her lane mates and is supposed to be home later.

Teagen had her first day of school and then goalie camp. Tonight, is hockey practice with the goalie trainers. I emailed Teagen's summer coach last nite. She has been getting requests to play for other summer teams next year and I told her about one that was trying to get us interested and asked her what she thought and she gave her current coach a huge compliment, "I like him, he's helped get 6/7 girls recruited nationally and he's a good coach!" His response was amazing and told me that he could definitely help her go to the next level, if that is what she wants. I felt weird telling him the information, but I'm glad I did. I've not had this kind of luck with my older dd, I tell them what she wants and they seem to act interested, but never like this...so we shall see where this takes us.

Tonight is pork and rice.

Bleh day today. Working this morning and then I get to come home and clean the kitchen and upstairs bathroom. Going to bed early tonight because the rest of the week is going to be way stressful. Evan's advisor is coming over tomorrow evening and he's still going to sailing camp near my parents (Milwaukee) so I have to drive two hours to pick him up, do the happy household thing with the advisor, and drive him back the next day. I also have to drive Megan back because she's going to a sleepover at a camp friend's house Wednesday night. Then Thursday I have to pick her up and bring her back. This weekend we have to drive back to my parents and pick up Evan. Each drive is two hours one way...

Think I'll stop at the store and get something cheap and frozen for tonight. The less mess in the kitchen at this point, the better. When I leave the house at 8:15 tomorrow morning,, I won't have more than 30 minutes or so in the house before the advisor shows up. I really don't understand the whole visit. It's a school wide thing so it's not like they're checking up on us. I'm not happy about it, the timing stinks and our home is in terrible shape because we don't have the money to fix things or maintain it.
