Plan for the Day

Well, back from Girls' Camp and time to get back on the ball. So many things to do today. I guess my biggest priorities are redoing the family budget--with gas prices being so amazing, I need to reassess just where we stand. We're thinking we might need to figure out a different car situation. The Suburban is such a guzzler, but we really need its size for toting around our crew. Hmm. We'll have to see.

I need to get some more studying done. I kept up pretty well before camp, but I now have a portfolio to prepare and a midterm to study for. I can't order the midterm until I have the portfolio returned to me, so I'd better get moving. I wish I could go to the library to have some uniterrupted time, but I just don't think that's going to happen.

We head for the beach tomorrow or Wednesday to spend the fourth of July. This will require laundry to be done and the house to be cleaned. I'm glad I have kids that will jump in and help with a lot of this, but that will mean that I have to get some lists together and help Aedan get moving in the right direction.

I also have an orthodontist and an eye appointment to make for Quinlan. Brevin's been complaining about his throat again, so I will probably have to get him in before we leave. I really don't know what's up with this kid. With his ADHD, he tends to be compulsive about certain things--biting his nails, picking at scabs, that kind of thing. I'm wondering if something he's doing is causing so many bouts with strep. Zan's had it once, Dierden's had it once, but the rest of us haven't gotten it. I'm going to go over the door handles and phones and such today with antibacterial wipes and see if this will help. I've changed out his toothbrush each time he's gotten it, so I'm not sure what else to do.

Oh, I also think I'm the lesson for FHE tonight.

So, with all of this to do, and what am I doing? BLOGGING of course. Hee hee.
