Paige Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Lynn- I use CLE Algebra for my not math gifted kids and it works better than expected. Whenever I tried to move them out of CLE, we failed. I like CLE with the teens, especially, because it requires less interaction from me and I tend to just frustrate them more when they're frustrated. For my kids good at math, I'd use Dolciani or AOPS. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paige Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 I'll let you in on a little secret....I'm a sweeper. I enter contests in my spare time and win at least something pretty regularly. My big trip last month was our first significant win, though. So, last week I saw that someone in my state with my first name and last initial won a prize in a sweeps I entered. But is it me??? Sometimes if the win doesn't require taxes and an affidavit they just send it to you w/ no notifications. I want it to be me! I don't know what the prize is because several were offered but there's a couple that I'd really like. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Good morning!!! COFFEE!!!~D Monday. I hate Monday. Sorry, Ellie. No disrespect to the Queen!! I slept horribly. $&€@&#% hotflashes. Well, this week starts the second part of my summer. I need to get in gear with decluttering and getting stuff ready for school. Today - fold the mountains of laundry that are in laundry baskets throughout my kitchen and living room, bake bread, the Student Center at church is open Monday from 3-5 for jr. high and high schoolers to hang out, so I will be taking my three oldest to that and then I need to go to The Afsa. And, I need to get back on the low-carb train. Last week.... oh my. The buffet at camp was amazing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 ETA: Post about legless reptiles. Avert your eyes! My boy went to check a popular watering hole in the woods for the fish. He came back screaming that he'd seen a nest of cottonmouth snakes, and nearly stepped on one. The hole was swimming with snakes! Six of them! All poison! Everywhere! Turned out there were two. But he said that he wasn't going back there again because one was too many. 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Visitors are gone. Now to mess the house up again! (Not totally true but I do have to get some stuff that I quickly stored in the bedroom out.) We had a nice visit and lunch together. Having visitors is fun but also a bit of a hurdle for me. I really like this brother, sister in law and grown nephew. And I got to see pictures of their newest grandbaby. Oh, and dh happened to be working from home today so he was able to join us for lunch, which was really really nice. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
