School, deep cleaning, laundry done, and a shower. Had some awesome outside time. I do need a life. I need socialization! I am dying of boredom! I am thinking of you hjffk and your little bean.

Congrats!

A little more time for the kids with Netflix but hey Magic school bus is science! Me too much time behind the computer. Winter bordem, winter blues! We got school done and the house is clean. Bluha! Its snowing and we may not get out for a couple of days. I have to keep up the good attitude or every one will pick up on it and it will not be fun. I have the cramps and just want to sleep. Good food and good books! Nothing else matters right now.

I've started collecting stuffed animals since being in the hospital. The kids know they are mine, and I will take awesome ones of theirs and keep them. I collect animals of all kinds real ones. I had a llama once he was my tall dark and handsome! I had a pony that kicked me so hard I think I swallowed my kidney. I even had a friend offer to by me a pig. Books. I love books so much!!! Everyone here has to deal with my books and my dh never can build me enough shelves. A new one means I need another new one. I have more books than my local library, and its a very small town so I am not tooting my horn to hard. I collect kisses and keep them in my heart. I collect things I have lifted from my mom and she does the same with me. Its like hey that was my shirt. I know its not cool but if I love you I will steal a piece of your clothing(shirts-Im not creepy). Maybe that an Aspergers thing? toilet paper rolls, egg cartens, butcher paper, cereal boxes because art class! Teapots-I have all girls and love a good tea party. The Dew is a pack-rat who has so many collections she is starting to look like her mother or dad lets just blame him-k. The Deet is collecting my sanity and patience as she steals it away. The Dawn just collects hugs and snuggles.

When I got H1N1 and pneumonia last year they were giving it to me in the hospital. It caused some weird reactions but I was in a coma for most of them, only remember waking momentary for them dealing with my all over body rash.

My family is not in the "large" department but the chronic pain I suffer is. So, I'm all ears. I want encouragement, and a helping hand.

Waking up out of a medically induced coma is very traumatic. They did it with me in small increments. I was tied down for being violent, trying to escape, and trying to knock things over. I tried to bite people. :blushing: I felt really bad but they told my mom it was all another day for them, as it was normal, and a good sign I might make it. Being put under for a quick surgery was so different. I was up and dressing in less than an hour after surgery.

I woke up for every surgery when I was in the ICU. They got to the point they knew it was coming, lol. When I got my tubes tied I warned them that I may wake up. I did, and scared the anesthesiologist who cut my lip on accident, trying to put in a breathing tube.

awwww!!!

I found all my three of my girls and the vertict is that all three of them have free earlobes like me. :bigear:

Okay so curious right now going to check the kids earlobes and report back. My DH has attached and I do not.

Kitten picture all the way!

Yea, your kitty came home! :001_smile:

All seasons- toasted cheeses, or quesadillas, cut up cheese, nuts, apples, oranges, pb&j, mac and cheese, left overs, homemade french fries, steamed veggies Warmer months- salads, smoothies, fresh fruit, nuts, sandwiches, dips and veggies or chips, and on rare occasions-turkey dogs. colder months- homemade soups,winter squashes, beans,sloppy joes, baked tators (I love throwing sweet potatoes wrapped in aluminium in the wood stove), pancakes, hard nuts ( give them a hammer, a safe place to whack and stand back)

I lost my small short haired dog in during a -15 degree night. He came back home the next day. Scared the poo outta me. I live in the middle of nowhere and he could also be coyote chow. I think animals can be very resourceful so don't lose hope.

We used Saxon at first. Made us both cry and I hated math to begin with and that made it worse!! Switching up programs to MM, and adding lacing math facts, and games in has made it fun. Also counting in the baking sessions we have, music, and farm projects. They will tinker with hands on math things by themselves and ask to play math focused games. The Dew is Meh most of the time. Its mainly having to sit still for worksheets, which I have really curbed down. They seem to be picking it up quickly. I am so happy to see more than memorization, they have a natural application.

We went full force today! It was shoving a lazy elephant along with my 10 year old, and calming down an eager squirrel with my 5 year old and being constantly mauled by my baby. We did school on the floor today. So far we are doing good!! Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming.

We are! Tomorrow is our day 1. I like to school from Jan-Dec, with breaks and just a relaxed mosey through the year. I have a 10 year old in third grade, yes we are behind, and a 5 year old heading into preschool, and a baby to keep me on my toes. I am excited to start again and find our new rhythm.
