  1. Least productive schoolday ever ~ not sure if this means we should take off Monday, b/c we obviously need the rest, or if we should work Monday, b/c we obviously need to catch up.

      Rest! It will make the rest of next week so much better.

      I agree! Decided on rest! I think we'll take a family picnic into the mountains :).

      Why put off for tomorrow that which can be done next week?

  2. We're trying out Lukeion this week with Imperial Murder Mysteries. It is a huge hit!!!

      Yup, from 2 inches taller, he went to 4 inches taller and now we've discovered he is DH's height! They grow like weeds.

  4. Alright people...I have to get busy...my dh took the boys & a friend to a movie & lunch this morning. I'm still in my pj's, drinking tea, & reading online. I must leave now to at least clean the bathroom. I may make a pie. They'll overlook my leisure if i make a pie, right? :)

      Pie makes someone overlook anything.

  5. and...the cat brought in a garter snake. What does a hs mom do? Catches it & puts it in a box until the kids get home from co-op.

      Hopefully the snake isn't injured-Cats can really do a number on domestic snakes. If you try to keep a garter for long enough to need to feed it, they eat worms, soft bodied insects, small fish (some people can get them to take pieces of fish filets), and so on. They're fairly easy to feed. The downside is that like most small, live-bearing snakes, they have a fast metabolism and tend to poop a lot (compared to the ones that only eat a large meal every week or two-or less often).
