What's on your agenda for today?

Tuesday morning and back from Chicago from granddaughters wedding. Finally got a new nights sleep. Can't rest to well in strange surroundings.
43 degrees here at the beach this morning. Sunny out so maybe it will warm up some. Should be leaving to go south in about 2 weeks.
Good day to all.

Better get down South soon Pappy! .. Supposed to be a cold winter again for the states.

Fall is here, right on schedule in SE Texas. It's 64 at my house this morning. Just lovin' it!!
Love spending my days outdoors and working in the yard, and today is no exception.
 
This is a great place to organize your daily "do list". Sometimes seeing other's people's plans for the day helps you remember what you need to do.

There is absolutely nothing I NEED to get today, but I SHOULD:

Make arrangements for Oil Change for Vehicle; Do Laundry; Stay as Calm as possible.
 

Got a coupon in the mail for $10 off a jiffy oil change,going there today.
Then back to the grocery store to buy what I forgot to get yesterday,can of sloppy joe.
Tuesday is sloppy joe day according to these 2 kids or Ill never hear the end of it.

Davey-Have you ever tried the little packet of Sloppy Joe mix? It`s in the section with all the little packets of gravy mixes etc. You just add it to browned ground beef,a can of tomato paste and water. A tiny bit more work than just opening the can but we like it a lot better!
 
Got a new little girl yesterday so we might do something fun-a trip to the playground maybe. She`s 6 and should be in school, but when the social worker dropped her off last night she didn`t know if she was supposed to be picking her up for school or not. Said she would call me before 10 and let me know but never did. School is in another county,40 minutes away,and I have to take the 14yo to school in the opposite direction,so guess she`s just going to miss school today. One thing I have learned through this foster parenting is that school is really the least important thing to the State. Irks me. Also have to go by the foster agency to see if they have a booster seat available for her for the car-she is legally of a size that it is still required that she use one. I`m pretty shocked that they didn`t leave me one. I am technically not licensed to have kids under the age of 10 so I don`t have carseats.

Definitely will give that a try, how much water? That can of sloppy joe was $1.49,I swear I paid $1.29 last month.

Dental surgery today. Finally getting the implant put in. At least it will be a break from cutting and hauling trees from the island.

Good luck with the surgery. Remember to rinse often with warm salt water.

You are such a wonderful person, what you are doing is so touching, those children are lucky to have someone that actually cares to take time participate in their lives. :thumbsup1:
 
I've been to work all day since 6.30am. just got home a little while ago so almost a 12 hour day for me. Just making dinner now


Mrs Robinson I hope you had a lovely day with your new little girl it must be so unsettling for her going to new foster parents, I'm sure she's gonna be happy with you, do you have her for long?

Everyone keeps saying that-it embarrasses me! I started doing this because I read how many kids are out there needing homes. I have the room and I have the time-that`s really all it takes! I`m still working on not being mad at the parents for letting some of the things happen that have happened to these kids-the anger starts eating at me and that isn`t good-but it really is rewarding in so many ways.
 
Gosh, it sounds like y'all have been busy today. I'll vote for the sloppy joe mix, too; much better than Manwich. Or you could make the whole thing yourself...brown meat (and onions, if you're so inclined), drain, add equal amounts of ketchup and sweet pickle relish, cook down for about 10 minutes, taste, adjust for more ketchup or more sweet pickle relish according to taste. Done.

Rkunsaw...is your mouth sore? How long before you can have real food?

Mrs. Robinson, don't be embarrassed. Be pleased that there's something you can do for the kids. I think it would take more than just room for them...patience by the gallon! Something I'm woefully short of...along with space.

One more thing...Pappy, when you have to travel, take your own pillow along. Helps with sleeping when you're not in your own bed.
 
Thanks, AprilT abd GeorgiaX. My mouth is hardly sore at all. I do have to be careful with what I eat for the next couple of weeks. I have some steroids and antubiotics to take the next three days and some stuff to rub on my gums for a couple of months. This has been a long process. I had the first surgery in early May {pulling the broken tooth and adding bone graft.) Now I have to wait a few more months before I get the tooth .
 
Good morning, peeps. It's going to be yet another stellar fall day in Georgia, and it looks like we're done with hot summer temps. It could stay like this all year round, and I wouldn't mind a bit.

My day: off to work. And for those of you who still have to set an alarm...I don't have to do that no matter how early I need to be at work. My perfectly good cat takes care of "alarming" me:)

Speaking of the perfectly good cat, he was supposed to take names yesterday...there was no list so either he can't be trusted with a little responsibility or y'all were good boys and girls. Let's go with "good boys and girls".

Rkunsaw, boy...long process for that tooth! It will be worth it in the end.
 
Good morning, Georgia and all.........another nice day here in Texas, the mornings are a little nippy, my day will be spent with mom, we're going shopping and get our flu shots.
 
Good afternoon, Jackie and everyone. Lovely morning here, if a little breezy. Had a stroll into town to get some more craft bits and pieces for when my grandaughters come round tomorrow. It's going to be a chill out afternoon for me. Get myself comfy, watch a film and fall asleep no doubt and, as ever, miss the middle of the film. I've seen lots of beginnings and endings of films.....;)
 
Nice morning here at the beach but chilly. As soon as it warms up some I will start taking down flags and outside lights to close up camp soon. We should leave by Oct. 8. Campsite turns off water and electric Oct. 15th.
Wishing everyone a good day.:love_heart:
 
The very best part of my working day is standing at the door when I'm done and surveying my handiwork, knowing that a client will be home from work later and pleased to open the door to a clean and tidy home. It makes me feel good to know that I made a client feel good. And it makes me feel good to leave with $$ in my pocket, too!
 
Good morning Georgia and everyone.
I don't have a lot planned for today, will be cleaning my own house and preparing meals.
I'm sure your clients appreciate your work when they come home to a neat and clean house.
Take a few minutes to relax today and have a cup of tea. :)
 
Good morning, Raven. Looks like we're the only ones up.

I have a day off today, but Tucker made me get up at 10 till 6 anyway. Maybe he just wants to make the most of every minute with his human. LOL

My DS is 53 today. 53! I don't feel any different than I did the day he was born so how can it be that he can be "that old" when I'm not?

He's got projects that he's working on, and they have deadlines, but he's going to take the day off to go to the Georgia Aquarium. Tickets are very expensive, but tickets are free on birthdays so that's his plan for today. Hope they allow pictures because I haven't been and could "visit" vicariously through him.

There's no plan on this end except to stay out of mischief. Maybe, just maybe, I'll think of something productive to do. Or not.
