Ta da: 4) Downloaded documents 2017, halfway done Almost crying now, so need to do something else that makes me feel like a capable adult. GOOD JOB on your downloads!! Halfway is great progress!!! Baby steps Yvette! Pick 1 thing and just do it when you are ready. I find some days even if it is throwing away a handful of trash, etc you still have done something.

Good almost-afternoon, guys and dolls! I was heading out the door when work called to notify of cancellation due to ice. I admit I read the news and drank coffee for FIVE HOURS and am just now getting to the house.
TA-DAH 1. Brought bins from roadside. The recycling worker very kindly flipped my trash bin upright as I came out. Good people! I wished him a safe day of work. 2. Put away dry clothes 3. Cleaned up veggies that will turn soon
TO DO 1. Put away dry dishes 2. Pick up around living room 3. Find a bag to use for "bug-out bag"

Ta DaStart laundry Put trash bag in trash can (hubby took out when he left this am) Got 3 young humans ready for the day and off to school I AM EXHAUSTED ALREADY!! 3 days of total nonsense and little or no cooperation. Wednesday I was late to work because my son who has some delays insisted he was not going to school. I did finally get him there. Yesterday my daughter with Downs/Autism AND my son both stayed home. But miracle of all miracles I got all 3 of them out the door this am! Youngest daughter leaves at 7:30 am. She tried to wear me down for an hour, "Do I have to go to school? Are you sure? Do I have to?" She was not wanting to go because of her 1st period class and videos they made that will be shown. And that causes her major anxiety. We had 2 hours of tears, cheers, and sweat to get the 1 minute video done last night! ugh!! Downs daughter has a bus aide who texted me she was sick today. That can go oh so wrong. But her son who goes to school with my daughter rode the bus in his mom's place. So guess the ride went well. I didn't get any calls. My son was adamant up until 25 minutes before the bus comes that he wasn't going. (He is 6.) Then he was wearing his PJ shirt he has lived in for 2 days to school. "Fine! I am down with that!" 5 mins before the bus showed, he decided to put a school shirt on. !! I am mentally wiped!! To DoFeed myself breakfast Swap laundry Make To Do List

TaDa Dusted and cleaned highly shelves into hallway Poo patrol Tried to mow the lawn but the mower is sick Shifted around furniture in sitting room looking for G's keys, vacuuming as we went. No luck with the keys. Took Dad to visit mum Watered big tomato
Right now I'm completely lost for words. Apparently I am being annoying about the lost keys because I want to look for them. It doesn't seem to matter how annoying it is for me that he has lost keys to both my vehicles and the front door to our house. He just wants me to fix it. E.g. new locks. Once again, I am paying the price for someone else's stuff up! But if I refuse to do anything my vehicles get stolen and my house gets robbed, with no insurance because they will have the keys. (We think he left the keys in the front door last night-he has done it a number of times before)
ToDo I don't even know any more...what's the point ...

Thanks phoenixcat and MamaAngie . This morning things are looking a lot better. Sometimes the best thing to lift yourself up is get some sleep! I'm definitely going to buy a flight case for the CDs. It will be easier to keep them in one place too. Today I'm taking small steps to finish the rest of the administration of 2017. razy , I'm glad he found the keys! Dramas like that really suck the energy out of you. Ta da: 1) Breakfast 2) Relaxed a bit 3) Prioritized 4) Download bank statements, account 1 5) Download bank statements, account 2 YES! To do: 3) Download invoices received via emailALL DONE !!!
