    Today in latin, my kids started singing "nos agricolae sumus" to the Farmer's Insurance jingle. At least they are engaged :-P

      My kids totally did that too when we hit that part of the book! Too funny!

    Sun, sun, go away! This native PNWer is positively wilting and besides, I have woodwork to paint.

      Yup, it can go away now. I think we've even completed our summer bucket list because the sun showed up so early. Is it fall yet?

      Yes, send it to the west coast - we are dying of heat!

    I just registered my kid for an algebra class so I'll have time to teach an algebra class.

      Probably the same reason why I'm tutoring writing students to pay for a writing class for my own child. ;)

    So disappointing to finally sit down and place an online order before the promo code expires, only to find out it was timed to expire at midnight East Coast time, while I'm in the western US.

      I have so been there! I constantly have to check times zones now for a lot of reasons. It is really different from when I was a kid and phone calls were the only reason we were even aware of time zones.

      It dumped all morning, rivers are flooding, and now finally some sun. You all in CA can have it! We do not need more rain in WA!

      You and me both! One kid wouldn't get out of bed at all, just laying there with a book. I can't blame him. This non-stop PacNW rain stinks!

    So the doctor called in a bottle of antibiotic that cost $170 for Grace. Yeah, that's not happening. Not sure what to do now. Can I call the doctor's office tomorrow and say, "Apparently you read the last name on her chart wrong. It's not Walton, Hilton, Trump, or Gates. We need poor folk antibiotics."

      Try having to replace an epi-pen for food allergies every year. $300. I only wish I was kidding.

    Just ordered Junk Drawer Robotics. This is going to be so much fun!

      It is! But a lot of random gathering of materials depending on how many kids are participating. :)

    It's DH's first night with a CPAP. My first thought when I saw him with the mask on: "Are you my Mummy?"

    1. FairProspects

      FairProspects

      All I could think was that dh looked like an Ood! Same wave length but different character, lol.

    If my kids were in PS, today would be their first day. Instead we are halfway across the country visiting the Mayflower II and Plimouth Plantation.

      Awesome! Homeschooling win! We are planning to do the overnight stay on the Mayflower II at some point.

    My just-turned-9-year-old now wears the same shoe size I do. I'm slightly afraid.

      Yikes, by 10 we could be eye-to-eye?!? I'm not sure you all are helping, lol.

    Yesterday Ds6 told me his favorite number is 64 because that's the biggest number of items you can have stacked in Minecraft. I am raising a geek! :)

      Nice! Ds was the only kid at camp this morning to correctly identify the Dr. Who theme song. I was so proud! Geeks unite!

    Had insomnia last night, so spent 3 hours making schedule for MCT Town. That's not strange, is it?

    1. FairProspects

      FairProspects

      It is not strange at all as long as you are willing to share the schedule! :)
