We are currently reading The Railway Children and Don Quixote (children's version). So far, they prefer Don Quixote:)
-
I try to share my excitement about these sorts of homeschooling things with my friends in real life, but sadly, although supportive, they just don't get why I do a jig whenever my delivery guy comes knocking.
:iagree: Even my husband doesn't get it:(
-
What?!?! It was the MOM?!? Oh wow....just so wrong:eek:
-
I absolutely encourage my kids to do extra curriculars. My 5 year old does ballet and gymnastics and the older two take guitar and attend a youth group. We also do a tutorial once a week. I would love to have quiet evenings at home, but that time will come.

Because the other siblings have names with an o & i and we don't want this one feeling left out. I know, I'm weird. Stems from personal childhood name trauma. Everyone, everyone in my family had names that started with the same letter, except for me.
No vowels because with the first and last name, vowel initials make terrible sounding words.
Love some of these names! I could only think of Jovi, until it dawned on me that I was getting the name from Bon Jovi.
I associate Jovi with the character in the movie Elf. I thought it was a cute name:)

I use the pomegranate Wen. I know, cheesy infomercials, but I got a sample a year ago and haven't gone back.

We moved out of "town" 5 months ago. Honestly, my kids do miss subdivision living. They miss playing with the neighborhood kids. So, that bums me out. However, if people ask about socialization I just tell them we have to be more intentional about it than we were. We invite people over more, go to park days, take classes, etc. I've also taken advantage of the land to start a new tutorial every week.

Praying for you! I can't imagine how stressful:grouphug:
-
I still voted you as President. Though it could be the beer I just had.:tongue_smilie:
-
Ummm, about 12 hours?!?!? We met in March and married in June. We talked about it one night and were like "I'd marry you right now!". So, we drove to Lake Tahoe and did just that. Just celebrated 10 years:)
-
Definitely charge a supply fee!!!! I made the mistake of not doing that with a geography group I hosted. It was fine when there were a hand full of kids, but it grew to 17 kids and I was spending quite a bit to keep it going. I did it for 3 years.....I'm done:)
-
We always go see a comedy show. We love stand up:) We've also gone to the local winery, brought blankets, some food, shared a bottle of wine, and just enjoyed the quiet!
-
I don't know, but I won't be popping anything for awhile. I had a bug bite on my face and apparently scratched it in my sleep. I now have cellulitis....ON MY FACE:glare: Day 2 of antibiotics....hoping the swelling, itching, and pain go away soon. Anyway, yeah, I will forever leave things on my body alone (and bandage itchy things when I sleep:tongue_smilie:)

Our trash guys have a beat up old pick up rigged with plywood on the sides of the bed. They drive like maniacs (think the mailman in Funny Farm) and trash is frequently flying:glare: But, they are cheap!
Our next door neighbor (we're both on 20+ acres, so not super close) custom built his home. I kid you not, it looks like a gas station. It's all brick with a giant metal awning hanging off the front. Everyone that comes over asks what kind of business is next door. When we first moved, we wondered the same thing so we went over and asked. We were mortified when he told us that he designed and built the house:blink:

This year I went rockabilly!
I have a body like Marilyn Monroe and I'm sick of feeling bad about myself and my body. So, I decided to dress more like the 50's style that encouraged curvy girls.
I roll my jeans, put on a fitted top (not too tight), throw on some ballet flats or converse. My hair is actually in more of a 60's flip buy I either put on a wide headband or pull it up into a bandana knotted on top.
I'm still transitioning because I can't afford to go buy an entirely new wardrobe. But I'm working on it. A high school friend who has been rockabilly for years is giving me guidance.
I am so, so much happier. Dressing my body type instead of fighting it has made all the difference.
Oh, I'm 41.
I'm intrigued! Where do you buy your clothes. I googles rockabilly but it was mostly dresses. Any examples of casual stuff (links?please?). I am currently stuck dressing like I walked out of the juniors dept. I need a new style!

We moved from CA to TN 8 years ago. Here's what stood out to me:
-People wave to you here (especially driving through subdivisions and back roads)
-there is very little graffiti on freeway signs
- our neighbors all came over to introduce themselves
-people bring you meals for everything!!!
-everyone knows where you live based on the name of your subdivision (I don't even know the name of any subdivision where we lived in CA)
-
The poverty....we've traveled to many Caribbean islands and I never get used to seeing it:( Oh, and the heavily armed military everywhere. We went to the Mayan ruins in Belize and I swear the boys patrolling with machine guns looked 12:001_huh:
-
I won't go into my opinion on the whole thing, but I was stuck in INSANE traffic trying to get through town:glare: They had police cars directing traffic and everything. There were no protesters that I saw, just customers. I know it was a big thing in our local hs group to go support them today. And apparently they came out in droves. It was crazy. I, however, just wanted to get to Lowe's!!!

Well, if it were me, I would allow dd to remain on the teams if she wants. After all, this is her thing, not yours (hmmm....hope that didn't come off snarky!). I would simply back off and allow the other mom to be team mom. I am not a confrontational person though.
-
Well, if you missed it this year, definitely check it out next year! DS spent the evening forcing all of us to be in his movie:). Turns out, we are NOT a family of actors:tongue_smilie:
-
I'm sitting at our local Apple store waiting for my son to finish up Apple camp for the day. Anyone else take advantage of this? He is having the best time! What a fun, free program for little techies:)
-
I'm a Coursera drop out! I signed up for the Sci Fi class but, seriously, it was just a ridiculous amount of work in a very short time. The reading alone was insane, much less writing a decent essay and grading 4 others. There is no way I have the time for that!
-
I'm smart enough to know not to even try that test!!

My five yo dd cracks me up when she sings:
"Give me two piña coladas, one for each hand.
Set sail for Captain Morgan, and never leave dry land"
Which movie version of Charlotte's Web
in K-8 Curriculum Board

My kids much prefer the newer version. They're not really big into animated movies though. It might also depend on the ages of the kids in your club. Kids older than 8 might prefer the "real" people version, JMO.
