johnandtinagilbert Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Sadly, that means 20 min. in the a.m. for computer time :001_huh: That's like walking through the forest of lions, tigers, and bears! OH MY! I'm looking forward to a great day and an easy transition into the coming year. Pray for me, please, that I would be gentle and patient and remember to push the fun button as often as possible. It also means our first day of full time high school --- :001_huh: I'm prepared, but a wee bit nervous! Hope ya'll have a great day, too. I'll miss our hours of time together, sweet hive!

.... Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Good Luck! And high school - Whew! What's that? :lol: We've already started school, but I plan to really ramp up the math in August. I wanna shift the concentration from reading/LA to math/science this school year. Good luck with your goals! And with high school - YIKES! :willy_nilly: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aludlam Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I'll be thinking of you today. We were to start today, but Pappaw came and stayed for a week ..... so next Monday it is. I've got everything copied, half of it hole punched and a file box with a full box of empty file folders that just sits there taunting me.... But I'm gonna get it today, mark my words ....

Teresa in MO Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Yes! My mom was Mammaw. We're in the South. It's pretty common here! Oaky, can you give me a phonetic pronunciation of Mammaw and Pappaw. We are looking for names our grandchildren can call us and can't come up with anything yet. I think I like Mammaw and Pappaw. Is it pronounced Mam (short a) Maw Pap (short a) Paw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereneverever Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 We had our first day of the year today, too! My kids are pretty little, so we're easing in. We only did the first three subjects of the day, so we were done in about an hour. We'll add a subject a day until we are at the full schedule.

Ellyndria Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Good luck and have fun, all you first day people! Counting today, I only have 17 more days to prepare and clean... ACK! And 11 of those days, I will have a house guest, so I won't get much done then! Eek! :willy_nilly: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABQmom Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Yes, that's how we say it. That's what I plan on being when I grow up! We say it that way too. I could never be Mamaw though--my Mammaw and Pappaw were so special. I miss them. Tina, have a great today and the rest of the week. I'll be joining you on that "nervous, just starting high school" thing in about 3 weeks. I can't wait to hear how your day/week goes.

Robin's Song Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 My brain won't go there. We're at the beach visiting family and I plan on slurping every last bit of summer from the bottom of the cup :tongue_smilie:. We started summer in May and I think we'll take off through the end of August. There are certainly perks to having littles!! Your blog got a makeover! I like it.
