  1. Sigh...Will ds EVER learn the multiplication table?

    1. Miss Marple

      Miss Marple

      One of my boys learned them while bouncing on the trampoline reciting the times table with me. Some studies show that memorization works better when doing something physical while reciting.

  2. About to walk in to my first job in 10+ years. Feeling butterflies and like I need to throw up.

      Oh I hope it went well. I remember doing that 2 years ago...after being out of the workforce for about 20 years

  3. Crazy cats. They had perfectly good kibble in their bowl. But no, they are going to And once I poured the kibble from the bowl into another bowl......well, hallalujah they are fed and they start eating.

      My cats won't eat from the kitty bowl unless the food covers the bottom. If they've eaten some and the bottom of the bowl shows, they meow pitifully until I shake the bowl so the food covers the bottom. Then, happy cat :)

  4. Bit of a let down on our field trip for my kids expecting more *fair* in the science fair.

      Miss Marple

      Awww! I'm sorry they were disappointed. Stinky life lessons :(

       

  5. We lost my mom November 3rd, Dad followed January 1st. Bbl.

      I'm jealous! That's the scent of heaven :)

      The weekend forecast looks downright ugly! Glad my boys aren't traveling home.

  8. Had gallbladder surgery yesterday AM. If they can get my heart checked out as okay, then I hope to be home tonight.

      I hope you mend quickly! Hospitals are no fun :(

  9. Said goodbye to my sweet companion of 7 years. My Lucy was the best doggy, always happy and she loved everyone. There is an empty spot in my heart and home but she is no longer suffering.

    1. Miss Marple

      Miss Marple

      Thanks for the sympathy :) I keep finding myself talking to her and then remembering that she isn't here. It's a weird feeling. She was the only other female in the household :)

  10. Not missing homeschooling, but missing homeschooling. Good to have adult children, but not glad to have the kids grown up. Life is never easy (nor does it always make sense!)

      I'm right there with you this year. I still get excited to research curriculum choices :)

      Miss Marple

      Happy birthday! The 40's can be wonderful :)

  12. PSA: Close your mouth when you clean the toilet. That is all.

  13. Poor family! After browning the garlic, onion, and ground turkey in olive oil, and adding two quarts of chicken stock, I added the diced vegetables, then the brown-and-wild rice combo puchased in bulk. Instantly, an army of dead bugs floated to the top of the dutch oven. Prospective dinner literally went down the drain. Hello bowl of cold cereal.

    1. Miss Marple

      Miss Marple

      While it sounds disgusting, I would be sorely tempted to scoop off those dead bugs and let the mixture boil for a while. Really, heat and acids from the garlic and onion should kills just about anything :) But, I agree, it's rather yucky.

  14. Tired of trying to sell my curriculum here, I am now an ebay seller

    1. Miss Marple

      Miss Marple

      Amazon is also a good place to sell. Homeschoolclassifieds has been good for me as well.

      Thanks. It's just been one of those really long, emotional days. Glad these are few and far between.

  16. My oldest son is graduating from high school tonight. Wooohooo!

  17. Today is Towel Day: Do you know where your towel is? (in honor of Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy)

      Miss Marple

      Haha, Jane! I'm sure Adams could have written something entertaining about Archaeology as well :)

  19. ...and she's done with high school! Two down, one to go.

  20. Kitty is eating a very tiny bit.

  21. Hoping kitty decides to eat today. Liver issues.

      Miss Marple

      Oh, I'm sorry! Is he on a special diet?

  22. The prodigal kitty has returned after 6 days! Apparently the large coyote wandering across my patio did not eat her as we feared. Great rejoicing here :)

    1. Miss Marple

      Miss Marple

      Yeah, I think either someone thought she was a stray and kept her and she finally escaped, or she got shut up in a barn and someone just let her out. Her brother, Thor, missed her terribly. We rescued these when they were about 2.5 weeks old and bottle fed them so they are really special. My son was ecstatic when I plopped her in bed with him at 6:30 this morning. A wonderful start to the morning :)

  23. The baby is sleeping. My kitchen is clean. Washed, dried, and folded laundry is put away. The floors are vacuumed. And the older two are confined.... Oops, I meant the older two are resting their rooms. Today, I am grateful for quiet time.

    1. Miss Marple

      Miss Marple

      Those are heavenly moments :) Enjoy your quiet time.
