  1. Survived my first day of homeschooling two kids!

  2. Went to the grocery store with kids and was irrationally jealous of the lady behind me, about my age, obviously professional, single, no kids, well put together buying salad and kitty litter. I know I know...count my blessings. Perhaps she's jealous of me too. i just imagine her returning to a peaceful apartment in the city, alone and peaceful.

      Her peaceful apartment may be a lonely place. Perhaps she noticed you and was wishing that she was a mom!?

      Thanks! Max McLean does an excellent show and we have not seen the new one, about C.S. Lewis' conversion, yet.

       

      Dh is not big on planning dates, and we are seriously no-spend this month, so this is lovely all around.

  4. Who made up "Giving Tuesday" anyway? Bah Humbug.

      Well, my inbox is full of "Give us money!" pleas from organizations I have never supported and have no wish to support. Some I have never heard of. I find it irritating. We do give generously and thoughtfully already and haven't any extra funds this time of year. Our Christmas is extremely simple with surprise hike in property taxes, old cars needing repairs and medical bills.

  5. How I love Quizlet. Thank you, teachers and students who make these study sets!

      Dd uses the ones for Latin and Science for review and they are helpful. She spends about 20 minutes 2x a week. Interactive review is good.

  13. Yikes! Major gas shortage here.This week's activities may need to be re-arranged.

      Oil rigs off the Tx coast have been down because of hurricanes so production is off some. Then a pipline burst near Birmingham, AL. Many gas stations here are closed and others have very long lines. Prices have gone up over 40 cents in two days.

  17. No, DS9, Sudden Onset Math-Induced Fatigue is not an actual condition.

  18. Can I just say how much I love the boards? You guys can answer a question faster than I could ever research on my own, and I get the benefit of lots of different perspectives to give me things to think about that I would never have come up with on my own. Thanks Board!

  19. You might be a homeschool mom if you McGyver your child's swimsuit to fit using a spare binder clip in your purse.
