I remember when Andrew Campbell used to post. What was his board name?

Either I have developed really bad allergies or I am coming down with a chest cold. Ugh! It's Good Friday To do: Fast and abstain Mail off some things laundry confession at 1:00 (never made it before this) may or may not stay for Veneration of the Cross prep for Passover with Jewish side of family tomorrow and Easter on Sunday May or may not go to Stations of the Cross in the evening (depends on how I am feeling and how badly I am coughing).. In spite of coming down with something yesterday, I had a very nice birthday! Thank you all for your nice wishes!

Today is my birthday! Read Laundry shop for food make dinner for mom going through rough time deliver meal hopefully go for a short hike at a nearby park with kids take 18 yo to English class and read some more while waiting dinner ???? Holy Thursday mass @ 7:30 p.m.

It's like running on a treadmill expecting to get somewhere, isn't it???

I just bought some for the first time yesterday! I am going to try to make lentil curry for the first time on Friday.

Woke up with headache - I think its the rainy weather coming in. Drank lots of coffee to get rid of headache Read City of God Make dh breakfast To do: Take ds to driving lesson Read some more while I wait Take dd to her friend's house vacuum upstairs and dust p/u dd from friend's figure out some kind of quick dinner confessions at 6:30 (we haven't gone all Lent)

It's spring break for one kid and not spring break for the other. It's confusing! Today: shopping reading cleaning 18 has to take his Gov't exam 18 has English homework due 15 yo has youth group Houseguest has ESL class tonight

Good morning! Already done: Read 1/2 hr of City of God Put out recycling make myself pancakes from leftover batter (I was hungry!) To do: Let dd 15 yo sleep in as she got back from her New York trip last night (very fun and exciting but tiring) 18 yo has percussion lessons @ 10 shop/read while he's in his lesson He needs to study for his gov't test when he gets home Dd15 has AHG meeting Field trip to planetarium this evening (has been postponed 2x now)

I am still trying to catch up on my City of God book group. I fell 2 chapters behind because I was studying for a final I mistakenly thought I had another week to study for! And for this upcoming week we had to read 2 instead of just 1 chapter! I have to read something like 300 pages by Thursday. I finished The 101 Dalmatians which I enjoyed. That was my first April is Children's Literature month challenge. I also started reading a book called Particles of Faith which is very interesting. The author has a PhD in nanochemistry and a masters in Catholic theology. It's sort of a memoir of how she handles the tension between science and faith. Very thoughtful and informed.

Checking in here. I'm in throes of cleaning out my horrible, disgusting, no good, very bad mud room. The kitty litter pan is kept in there and boy is the whole area overdue for a deep cleaning. Whew! I am disgusted with myself for letting things get so disgusting! I really do hate housework. I just do.

Did I forget to post yesterday? I had to get up super early to get dd to her weekend trip to New York with the theater group from a nearby high school. She got to have a choreography workshop with one of the Hamilton orginal cast! She comes back late Sunday night. Then I I took ds and 2 other guys plus houseguest and baby on a field trip. Son and friends went to tour capitol with fellow government co-op classmates and houseguest and baby and I toured art museums. Fun but tiring day! Today: Read City of God (already read for 30 minutes but boy am I way behind!) Get bagels take 18 to flute lesson - read more Someone needs to take houseguest and baby to Target so she can use her gift card and get that baby some new shoes! Also, library books are due I really, really, really want to start spring cleaning today. I keep making false starts. Now is the time! Dinner? no clue yet

Why does it always rain on Thursdays, when I have to drive 40 minutes to and from co-op?????? Hmmmm??? Answer me that! Today: Plan for Latin class Get chicken to church clean kitchen groom dog (Vet is coming today, I got the date wrong) Call storage place to change credit card Co-op Back again - mobile vet Read City of God Figure out dinner Take houseguest to English test so she can move up a level in her classes Study group on City of God @ 8:00

Thanks so much for this! I'll show it to her. Though yesterday we were talking about maybe postponsing ASL until 12th grade and taking it at the community college. We'll see . . .

I was going to get up early to make dinner for a friend whose dh is ill, so that I could bring it with me when I take dd to her math tutor, but I decided I'll just do the extra driving. Anyway! To do: Take dd to math Read City of God Walk drop dd off at study group mobile vet is coming today between 1:30-2:30 make meatloaf, potatoes and veggies p/u dd take food to friend Dinner for us???? Oops! Forgot also have to cook chicken for shelter! LOL. Too much cooking today!

My dd is done with Latin! She wants to take American Sign Language next year (11th grade). We looked into the community college, but the only class is offered at a campus rather far away. She was hoping to take it with a friend but it turns out the friend can't make the same class as her schedule will allow. So now I'm thinking, why go through the rigamarole of getting her dual enrolled and doing all that driving, if she can just take an ASL class on line? I looked at Gallaudet but it is college level and seems like it would be super intense. Any recommendations? Thank you!

Pink and Green Mom, hope your oldest gets out of his school slump! Today: Read Figure out food for today Get 15 yo to class Shop Get 18 yo to class Walk Bake cake (today is middle son's 22nd birthday!) Do some spring cleaning Read more Dinner is bow tie pasta with tomato-pine nut sauce, salad, cheesy garlic bread and lemon cake for dessert!

Good morning! I slept in! Already done: recycling out To do: catch up on City of God for book study - I am so behind! Get teen up - she's got tons of studying/co-op work to do make phone calls Pick up 18 yo from airport Get my hair possibly? Little guy needs new shoes-didn't get any yesterday in our shopping adventures Dinner is new recipe - sweet potato hash

Good morning! Had a most relaxing Saturday and took a lovely long walk with my spouse! Today: run to store to get more breakfast stuff clean up kitchen Mass breakfast - French toast, yogurt parfaits, sausage At some point take 15 yo to get new athletic shoes, also pick up gift for soon to be 22 yo (on Tuesday) Dh says he'll grill outdoors for dinner. First time this year!

I feel such a sense of relief today. I took my Latin final last night. Now I no longer have to deal with on line classes for myself. Hooray! Also, I thought I was going to attend a certamen today but it got cancelled (long story) and I also was going to attend a baby shower, but I wound up saying I couldn't go because of the certamen which is now cancelled. Though part of me would like to go, another part of me is sick of driving (shower is 40 minutes away) and would like to have a quiet, puttering around the house sort of weekend. . . Today: bagels tidy up (spring cleaning is due) take a walk (maybe with dh?) Maybe go shopping and to the library maybe read and nap? Maybe relax with dh who has had a really exhausting several weeks at work but now has a well needed lull in franticness.

Me too.

Rainy Friday morning. Today: laundry study for my final 15 yo needs to finish math mass at noon take 15 yo to math tutor study some more tidy my bedroom figure out if we are going to certamen tomorrow, and details figure out dinner study take final @ 7:30 relax!

I am taking a break from studying for my Latin exam which I am terrified of and have to take tomorrow. Also, I think one of my cats is sick and the toilet in the hall overflowed. Just letting you in on my emotional state right now..... Anyway, I've decided I can not continue to listen to H is for Hawk. I can't stand the overwrought, navel gazing exploitation of her father's death so she can talk about herself. I know it is a memoir but I just finished listening to Sidney Poitier's memoir and I never thought, what self-indulgent b*llsh*t. I think it might have been that Poitier actually had interesting things to say about his interesting life, whereas I feel like MacDonald is trying too hard to be deep and significant and she doesn't quite have it in her to be deep and significant. I am disappointed because I thought it sounded like it would be fascinating and absorbing instead of annoying.

We have a pasty shop here that serves delicious pasties. They are treat we do for lunch once in a while. /http://www.purepasty.com/

Sorry, Jean, about the doggie hospice care and sorry SKL that you didn't get any sleep! Today: Study Finish prepping for co-op shower Go to co-op and teach home again - figure out meals Study some more My time is freed up today because 18 yo went to visit his bro in Boston and is skipping class tonight and I don't have to watch the little one for his mama because they are having spring break at the ESL classes!
