  1. We have legit fought over Tostitos Lime in our house.
  2. RIGHT??? THIS IS WHAT QUARANTINE HAS DONE TO ME!!! I had to stop wearing them around the house because there was a real possibility I was going to stab someone in the head with a heel.
  3. Quarantine hair, don’t care! Besides, it’s supposed to represent your life. Did you notice I’m NOT wearing heels?????? Gasp! BTW, I haven’t washed my hair in 9 days.
  4. Do you see how tiny our porch is? We had great fun, though.
  5. One of the ladies in my neighborhood FB group posted a story about a photographer who did what they called PORCHtraits, which are pics of people on their porches (from a distance), representing what their lives are like during quarantine. I commented that it would be so much fun, and she volunteered to do them for free for our entire neighborhood! We did ours last Monday. They were so much fun. We were much goofier than some of our other neighbors, but that’s just us. BTW, the giant teenager is the little boy I used to homeschool! He’s gotten so big! He’s 6’3”

  7. Hello, all! Some of you MAY remember me from when I homeschooled my older son, who is now a SENIOR in high school! Our “surprise” turned 9 this past Saturday, and has been thriving in a b&w school. Thanks to COVID-19, we’re homeschooling. I forgot how much work this is!
  8. You're going to have to help me out. I've forgotten all my acronyms. What's MBTP?
  9. You know, I was thinking of heading to IKEA in a week or so! We should absolutely meet up.
  10. Great to be back. I missed everyone. Glad to see you're still about. Awww, that's so nice of you! %2
  11. Great to be back. I missed everyone. Glad to see you're still about. Awww, that's so nice of you! Yeah, I should have said something when I went away.
  12. So, my younger son will be ready for 1st grade this coming fall. It's been a few years since I've done this, and AGES since I did 1st grade. Help! Han Solo (not his real name!) loves learning, and is very inquisitive. Books are his thing, and he's working so hard to learn to read. Yay! He doesn't show any signs of dyslexia, thank goodness, which I'm hoping will make it a bit easier than it was with Indy (also not his real name). He's a hands on learner, and loves to do activities, but HATES coloring, cutting, and pasting. Weird, right? He's big into math, and has been doing simple addition and subtraction in his head for quite a while. Any thoughts on curriculum for a busy kid? We are secular homeschoolers, BTW.
  13. Hello, everyone! It's been ages since I've been here. I had to lose one of my internet hangouts, and since we stopped homeschooling in 2015, this is the one I had to let go. :sad: I missed you all, though! As we'll be starting 1st grade with our younger son next year, I thought I should come back! It's not like I spend most of my days online anyway. Things have changed a bit since I was here. We're still at Ft. Lewis in WA, but James Bond (hubs) is currently in Korea for a year. When he gets home in July, we're moving to Ft. Belvoir, in the DC metro area. Indy is now 14, and 6 feet tall. He's a freshman at a brick and mortar high school! Han Solo is 5, and currently in Kindergarten at a brick and mortar school. We'll start homeschooling with him after we move. I work from home as a copy writer, and enjoy it a lot. I even get paid for it! Shocking. I should be able to keep doing when we start hsing. So, that's about it. I probably won't be around a lot, but I'll be popping back on every now and then.
  14. Does anyone know if there are any MAP (Measure of Academic Progress) sample tests online? I have looked, but can't find anything! We're considering sending Indy to school for 8th grade (a magnet type of school), and he needs to take the MAP. He won't have to do it until late summer, but he's already a nervous wreck. I think he'd feel more confident if he knew what to expect. TIA!
