  1. Good morning! Workout is done...did some YouTube videos for arm workout, did not come close to making it halfway through ab workout. I was getting ready to go for a walk but thunder, lightning, etc. I think I'll wait! groceries collab with friend on rubrics for upcoming year depending on weather, go out and explore or stay in and read new book dinner is steak, salad
  2. Good morning! Amy, that's great news about your dad! Dh and I are all settled in, looking forward to some downtime. We may play some golf later today. Our only to do is pick up some groceries for dinners. I may go check out the local library, see if I can check out some books. I brought a stack with me but still love to see what's out.
  3. We've stopped for the evening, relaxing a bit before going to dinner. Everything is so green. Sensory overload.
  4. Good morning! Amy, so sorry about your dad. Praying for a mild case... Dh and l are on the road. My mom insisted we go somewhere, feels she's being well taken care of. Her care team told us the same thing. We guiltily accepted. I have roughly four weeks before meetings, etc. start for the new year. Not much on the to do list except drive today, stop for late lunch/early dinner before we reach our stop for the night.
  5. Good morning! I didn't realize it was Friday... I haven't slept much in the past few days. We are still waiting on a call regarding mom, estimated time she'll be at her current placement. She was very tired when we visited yesterday. ScoutTn, enjoy your getaway! To do today: coffee, breakfast shake weights go through bookshelf, pick my next few reads find a small spill proof cup w/straw for mom's water...needs to be small and manageable, drop it off finish laundry room cleaning read, relax pizza and salad for dinner

  7. Well, I was definitely in a purging state of mind. We dropped off a lot of stuff at Goodwill! I was going to donate all of our used curriculum to library, but now second-guessing whether or not to post it on the curriculum board. Sometimes it's easier to be done with it but some extra cash would be nice. I just remember being thankful at finding some treasures at the library bookstore that were mentioned in the Well Trained Mind. I'm off to visit my mom, make sure transfer goes smoothly.
  8. Good morning! Math Teacher, Congrats! What a great feeling... SKL, I hope you feel better soon. Amy, curious about what you use to record your video lessons? We are waiting on word about mom...they are going to transfer her to a skilled nursing facility to monitor IV antibiotics for an extended time. Apparently this bacterial infection is quite involved considering her age, etc. She has to be monitored 24/7 in case of reactions. She is able to go back to the same place she was at after her surgery in November, so the staff knows her, has already called us to discuss her care. Done so far: coffee, breakfast shake, kitchen clean up To do: mail boxes off to siblings, make more space in garage banking Costco for basics workout, weights work on reading journal, finish last bit of current book waiting on visiting information for mom so we can take clothes, snacks, etc. not sure about dinner, probably grill something, salad Have a great day!
  9. Morning all! I was up with mom several times last night, tired this morning. Except for laundry, house is clean! I just need to start organizing some drawers, cupboards. To do today: coffee, breakfast shake finish reading book We may/may not go out to lunch, depending on how things are work on reading pile, reading journal watch some tv or movie read, relax Have a great day!

  11. SKL, what a strong pup! I thought my daughter's corgi was strong 🙄
  12. Good morning! Another scorching day today... I went to start turkey legs in crockpot for dd's soup, discovered that was the awful smell in the fridge. They are not even near end sale date, and wow! Bagged them up and put in deep freezer until trash day. 🤮 Done: coffee, weights, kitchen clean up, floors To do with the help of more coffee: pick up Rxs for mom Costco run Target run lunch out, bring back something soft and squishy for dd (wisdom teeth taken out) grade assignments, send notification to students (this will be last week of summer school) something light for dinner laundry read and relax Have a blessed day!

  16. Praying for your mom and your family
  17. Southern California...we have a lovely gas tax, as well.
  18. Maybe not think the best of her...sorry if that offended you. And previous poster is right...none of us will ever know what you are going through.
  19. Costco today: $9 for a bag of salad. We noticed a huge increase in what we normally buy, so we definitely held off. Gas here yesterday: 6.99 unleaded, diesel was more. It normally costs dh 85 dollars to fill his tank. $200 now.
  20. A lot of sound advice from previous posters... I have to put this out there. A hint, just a hint of impropriety by your son (sil comments) can and will alter his life as he knows it. Your job is to protect him, no matter what the cost. You can brush off her earlier comments about your son, but it's out there. Because she is so difficult to deal with, she now has a weapon at her disposal. Don't think for a moment that she won't use this again. Please document every interaction, time, dates, conversations/actions for the protection of your family. I have seen some really bad outcomes of this type of situation. You also need to let your lawyer know about this, because it will go a long way in a potential custody battle. If, for some godforsaken reason he might win partial custody, there can be parameters put in place to have a no contact order with sil and said family member. It sounds awful, but you have to stop thinking the best of people in this situation. Big Ugly Drama or not, you need to protect your son.
