Another Lynn Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I have signed one up for a summer camp he requested. I have addressed graduation announcements/graduation/retirement party invitations. I have made a phone call to get access code for OYAN. Seems like I've done more than that.... but bummer, I don't know what it was. :o 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lots of little ducklings Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Am I missing something here?? I feel like I am missing something. Oops. Sorry... 8FillTheHeart is a longtime poster here on the boards. She talks a lot about her methods hsing her 8 children. And has published some curriculum now based on that. But she does tons of 1-on-1. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73349 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Our last out-of-town visitors have departed. Happy laundry day to me. We're working out the air conditioning details. It's going to be involved (e.g., replacing duct work in the attic, removing an old humidifier from the crawlspace...). Good thing we're happy driving old cars! :) 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJosMom Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I finished ALL 4 math sessions this morning, and ALL 4 reading/phonics sessions too, AND did morning meeting.... which got us to lunch at 1:30. Yay me! This never happens. I really need to find out how 8fill pulled off her 1-on-1 approach and still did anything else in life. Like cooking. And peeing. **shhh...she's not really human...she's a demon...** 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try to do that with my kids and it takes forever and wears me out. Today, we actually all worked together, no 1-on-1, and it went much more quickly and easily, although it was more "class-roomish" with everyone working at the desks, instead of at the couch with me individually. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prairiewindmomma Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I went to the store late last night because our shelves were bare. I came out of the store and for the life of me could not remember where I had parked. I eventually figured it out, but I felt like a crazy old lady for about 10 minutes. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The three weeks we were without a/c last year nearly killed me. My advice: buy a window unit if you don't already have one so that you can at least sleep. What they tell you will take three days ends up dragging on for weeks---delays in ordering, problems scheduling installation, and other hiccups along the way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJosMom Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Ah well, if there were no above average homeschool moms who would inspire us and write cool curricula? If every homeschool mom was like me conventions would just be a bunch of us lying around in yoga pants eating brownies telling each other, "It's ok." You say that like it's a bad thing. ??? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I think ds has recovered. He has consumed cheerios, toast, and coconut water and says he is feeling "not so weak". The rest of us went to an Old Lady Party. One of the birthday lady turned 97 yesterday. Another lady there will turn 101 next month. We picked up dh from work and stopped by a display/sale of Dr. Suess art at a local gallery. Dinner was turkey/cranberry wraps and rice. It smells like perfume in my room and I have to get out before I lose my sanity. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I like potatoes too. But, she's an ITTer, so you can't eat her. You can try to turn one of your children into a tater and eat them. But, you miss them afterward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 (edited) We had dinner. Now I want a brownie. Quick -- someone create a brownie avatar!I had ice cream after dinner. As a dessert, it is relatively low-carb. 12 g per 1/2 cup. There are 14 grams of carbs in 1 brownie. I did good today. I weighed myself on Monday morning and I'd gained 5 lbs, since the beginning of the year.😩 but, I've been sticking to the plan all week, so hopefully next Monday I will see some change.
