scrapbookbuzz Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Can you tell I overslept today? ;) Welcome! Tonight's dinner special is Chinese Stir Fry. The chefs are myself and Kroger (Fry's). :D What's for lunch today? Kids and I had egg rolls from Fry's Deli. They were just okay but it was lunch time and we were hungry! What's not quite right about today? Here: yestereday I spent ALL day cleaning due to company coming over and wore myself out! Thus, I slept in LATE today. :tongue_smilie: So, of course, our schedule is off . . . still. :glare: Time to get myself crackin'! :) What did you have fun with today? We did a science experiment (dd12's assignment) using red cabbage, vinegar, baking soda, and a balloon. :D Talk to me! :bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenL Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Let's see, I think dinner tonight is going to be breakfast: scrambled eggs, turkey bacon, and strawberries. I don't feel motivated to make anything else. Lunch was 2 hot dogs and 2 drinks from Costco before we did our shopping. You cannot beat lunch for 3 people for $3.25! Today we did some service work at church, ran errands, and then did an hour of silent reading during quiet time. Well, the 4yo played by himself in his room during that time since he can't read yet. What's not quite right? My dishwasher keeps starting then stopping instead of going through an entire cyle. I'm hoping we don't need to buy another one. Nothing overly fun was accomplished today. We took a day off from official schoolwork to do community service instead. Our church is hosting a big festival with the local recreational sports league, so there was a lot to get done to be ready for Saturday. I am thankful that Hurricane Irene will be sparing us, although I'm worried for all my relatives in NH/MA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbookbuzz Posted August 24, 2011 Author Share Posted August 24, 2011 Jennifer, are you and I the only moms who needed the Teachers' Lounge today? It's quiet in here. Maybe I should scrounge up some more chocolate, put it in front of a fan, open the door and let the wonderful aroma waft out to entice our other regular visitors. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simka2 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I roasted a turkey and dh and I will have that with artichokes and a side salad. The kids get mashed potatoes as well ;). For tonight I am experimenting with a sugar free jello cheescake mouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BridgeTea Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Ha! I'll just come in for the FAN! <sliding chocolates over, settling in> It turned a little muggy and warm on us today and so a fan feels good. Lunch was actually Brunch, and then it was only a bowl of GrapeNuts cereal. I seriously slept in! I feel fine, just running low on iron so I am needing more sleep right now. Fun was rollerskating! It was a crowded madhouse in there, but so glad we stuck with it and some friends showed up. I only ran over one child, but it was a mild crash and neither of us hit the floor. Supper tonight was homemade chicken veggie soup, and some deli beef/lettuce/pickle sandwiches. What's not quite right? The fact I could skip even the virtual chocolates!

MamaAkins Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 We just finished dinner. We had egg noodles and swedish meatballs with mushroom gravy and a side of sugar snap peas. Not very exciting, but the kids love it and eat it willingly. :D What's for lunch today? We had a hodge podge of leftovers today. DD1 had potato gnocci with alfredo sauce (leftovers from last night's dinner), ds had enchiladas and chile rellenos, dd2 and I had tacos, and dd3 had rolled lunchmeat & applesauce. The fridge is now looking pretty bare! What's not quite right about today? We're still easing into our fall extracurriculars, so our schedule feels a little weird. What did you have fun with today? DS worked very hard to finish his schoolwork early today so he would be free when the UPS man delivered his new Harry Potter lego sets that he purchased from Amazon with his birthday money. Unfortunately, the UPS man didn't come until 4:45! He's currently working on assembling the sets! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thia Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 We haven't officially started school yet, but I heard there's chocolate here! MmmM! I spent some time flipping through SOTW 1 to see how I want to break it up because there's more than 36 lessons in there. I don't want to rush through it, but I don't want to be doing it all next summer...IDK. Then I glanced at RSO earth/space to see what I want to do with that. Twice a week, I think. Then a flip through our US Atlas we'll use once a week for geography. All that in between laundry, dishes, children, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
