Wow! It's definitely nice out.... time to bust out the SPF clothing!

Me too! I thought I couldn't plan a week of meals, and now that I do it, I can't go back to my random ways. It makes it really easy to make a list, and shop each time. We also do "theme" meals, like meatless Monday, taco Tuesday, etc. It's the planning more than the cooking that's exhausting for me. I wonder if this mom could find 2-3 meals that she and the kids like, and repeat those often. There's no rule saying you have to have seven different meals each week. You can also do small variations, like taco bowl vs. tacos, or quesadillas instead of tacos.

Well, I'm an idiot. My license expires in September of 2024... as in the COMING September. Apparently I don't understand dates!!! The DMV lady had a good chuckle. I feel like a real dummy, but at least I don't need to take any tests 🤪 🫠 🙃

Oooh. Thanks! There's hope!

Thank you! I hope that's me, too.

Yes, why don't they send notifications? It's not like I look at my driver's license ever. Now I need to become the kind of person who sends myself calendar invites for things 5 years in the future. That's sooo not me.

OMG! Why do I get myself into these totally avoidable situations?!!

I just realized that my driver's license expired seven months ago. Argh!!!! Will I have to take the road test again? (GULP!)

Do you know what the name for this would be? Or eyes jumping to the line above while trying to concentrate on one line?

Is the organization run in a way that children or adults are in danger? If so, I think you have an obligation to ring the alarm bells.

If he has great reading comprehension, I wouldn't worry about developing it too much. You could hit major things like metaphors, similes, symbols, etc. Sign of the Beaver is a great book for this! I would read out loud to him, and also have him practice with audio books. It might be a good age to start listening to audio books, and taking a few notes after each chapter (either by hand or with Google Docs/typing/voice to text).

Ha! That's great 🙂 I love that your neighbor bought you undies. I've gotten a lot of gifts from my neighbors across the street, but never undies!! 😄

That's a nice one!

I recommend an electric kettle, paper filters, and a ceramic pour-over like this one. It's so easy and fast! Plus, no worries about icky stuff growing in a coffee pot, or heated plastic getting into the coffee.

Oh wait, I see that the administrator can sign off on all of the schools at once, but I need to list them. Woo hoo! I hope this works out.
