  1. Preparing exit exams is nerve wracking for parents.

  2. Two weeks to my oldest daughter's wedding.Two days until my first grandchild turns 9 months. About two months until the youngest graduates high school. And ten months since we got the news my oldest and only son died. I am a bundle of emotions.

      That's a tough year you've had. I'm so sorry for your loss, and so happy for your blessings, bitter-sweet thought they may be. Hugs.

      My dad was looking at the Christmas tree one year, a few days post-Christmas. It appeared to be covered in bugs. Upon closer inspection, he saw it was actually COVERED IN TICKS!!! The heat had caused all the tick eggs (?) to hatch. Needless to say, he got the tree out of the house in less than a minute!

  7. The faculty of voluntarily bringing back a wandering attention over and over again is the very root of judgement, character, and will. An education which should improve this faculty would be the education par excellence. ~William James

      Hmmm. It's too bad you don't speak German in home, otherwise we could just exchange kids from time to time. lol.

  13. I had been thinking how nice it was that the toddler was quietly occupying himself while I focused on school with his sisters. Then I saw this: http://goo.gl/7LpP2F

      That's one of my toddler's favorite crimes as well. We had a whole afternoon of building puzzles once, in order to get all the pieces sorted back out.

  16. I'm having some weird deja vu and amnesia moments. I can't tell if I've read these threads/written these posts/asked these questions before or if I wanted to have asked them but forgot or something else.

      Happens to me regularly. Sometimes I ask a question and someone refers me to a thread that I've either commented in or started. Oops.

  17. Nice christmas present: mailman just delivered the original 8th grade certificate of dd. We are done with exams for a while... :)

  18. I just realized that when DD sings My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean, she replaces all instances of "Bonnie" with "body."

  19. I just figured out that the MCT ibook page numbers don't match the physical books. This is good to know when the teacher is assigning based on page number.

      Can I ask you a quick question? I bought the iBook for one of the Mud trilogy books, and found that I could not change text size to make the text larger. I returned the book, and am wondering now if that bug has been fixed. Are you able to change text size now?

       

  20. Preparing our last exam (technical education) we made a bike! and it rides....

  21. One of my son's mentors is obnoxiously attractive. I feel ridiculous, but it is very hard to focus during our meetings sometimes.
