Ok, so.... Hopefully you all can see what I accomplished today.

Yes, I prop up my iPad and watch Netflix. Only stuff I've seen before, though, so I don't have to pay too close attention. 😜

I had to look that up. I thought it was MI6.

I'm here!! Finishing up lunch!! Picked DS up from church - 2 huge buses brought the kids home from camp. There were 79 high schoolers there. Not all from our church, though, they all have some affiliation to our church. DS seemed to have a really good time and I'm glad.

I've got a severe case of the "I don't wannas" today. I stayed in bed an hour after I usually get up, just dozing. I've been working on this quilt for my bedroom this summer and I am sick of it. I need to finish it. I finished the top last night. I'm not going to quilt it, I'm just going to tie it, so it shouldn't take an extraordinarily long time, I've tied quilts before. But I'm really burnt out and I know I just need to push through and get it done or it will not get done. Once school starts there's no hope for it and my sewing machine and ironing board is set up in the bedroom and I'm sick of the mess.... y'all get the picture.

((Jean)) hope you feel better as the day goes on!!

Good Morning!!! COFFEE!!☕ï¸â˜•ï¸â˜•ï¸â˜•ï¸â˜•ï¸ Friday😎 Happy Birthday, Spud!!🎉🎉ðŸ°

I feel like I am alone in here. DId everyone else go to bed? Or are you having a party and didn't invite me?

I like shredded cabbage instead of lettuce on fish tacos.

I know what it is, JJM. I will give it to you!!!!

What about the R.O.U.S's?

I've heard that about tilapia. I've never tried it. And now I don't want to.

Happy Birthday, Ikslo!!!

I make the individual pizza crust, bake each for 7 minutes, cool, stack and freeze. Then, take them out, out the toppings on and bake again for 7-8 minutes.

dI could help you out on that. I think Whitehawk is starting a child rental program.

Fortunately there's no ice cream in the house. Or it would be gone.

Warning: Educational Post Reported!! If this post makes you feel nervous or twitchy or itchy or scratchy.... take a couple of Benadryl and drink a cup of COFFEE☕ï¸â˜•ï¸â˜•ï¸â˜•ï¸ So, I finished lesson planning for Art & Music. It all just came together. I'm kind of excited about this whole Fine Arts Friday things. Ok, so that's something I'm looking forward to this school year. I wish I could figure out a way to share it with y'all.

I neither like nor dislike cupcakes. Actually, cake in general is not a favorite dessert. I prefer Icecream. Or pie. Or pie with Icecream. Or cookies and ice cream.

I remember that. I merely observed, I did not participate. It was rather crazy!!

Jean, put down that chocolate eclaire.

My youngest falls into that category, esp. Since California recently (?? Or maybe not) moved the date to Sept. 1 and she's an October birthday. As a homeschooler, you teach your child where they're at and what they're ready for, so arbitrary dates for grades and such don't really matter. However, for us....I needed to decide what grade she was in for Sunday School class and Awana and I decided to follow the Sept. 1 cut-off. Also, she wasn't interested in doing schoolwork the year she turned 5 and I had a lot on my plate with my other kids. So, I just bought the R&S set of kindergarten workbooks and she worked through those independently. Ironically, her kindergarten year she did CLE's phonics, math and LA programs, which is technically 1st grade. So, this year, although she's a first grader, all her books say "2" on them. Everyone is confused.

You could do this with some subjects and not others. Some subjects it is very important to finish the book. Like math, for example. But, if you make it through June, and are only half way through the book, just do math during the summer. Do it year round. My oldest two are quite behind in math and they are doing it all summer long. They don't love it, but it's fine. It's not like we're doing full-on school. Just a math lesson a day.

I like berry pie with homemade vanilla Icecream. And COFFEE☕ï¸!

If over half the people feel the same way, I don't think it's weird anymore. It has crossed the line into normal.

Good Morning!!! COFFEE!!!☕ï¸â˜•ï¸â˜•ï¸â˜•ï¸ Friday Eve!!ðŸ‘ðŸ‘👠Orthodontist! Did I mention that I was down to 2 children for the overnight hours?? DS1 @ camp still, DS2 last minute sleep-over with neighbor-friend and DD1 sleep-over, too. It was a really quiet and pleasant evening. I guess there is a pretty big difference between 5 kids and 2 kids.
