scrapbookbuzz Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Greetings, all! I know I said I wasn't going to open the Lounge anymore because I was too busy. And I have been! But this morning, feeling very UNmotivated to do my own schoolwork, let alone the kids', along with whipping up a batch of gf, dairy free bread, made me think of all of you and how much I really need the Lounge today. I'm figuring some of you might, as well! So here we are! Come on in! I have the coffee brewing. Fresh bread will be ready in about an hour. If you need munchies before then, I do have some regular potato bread, some roasted red pepper hummus, and some of those packaged peanut butter on cheese crackers snack packs. You can even have a Vernors if you want! :*) I realize it's slim pickin's but then again, I didn't realize I'd be having company! 8*) Glad you're here all the same! Ready for summer yet? Me? No. Have any vacation plans? Here? I just returned from SLC, UT. Mid-summer, both kids will be off to church camp and hubby and I will be going on our own vacation! Yay! Does anyone want to do my homework for me today? LOL Talk to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen in CO Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Good morning - I can't stay long. I have a BIG meeting in less than an hour, and I need to be brilliant for my meeting. It is a lot of pressure to be required to be brilliant at 9:30 every Wednesday morning. Summer - yes - I am really, really tired of our morning routine. I am tired of coaxing cozy children from their warm beds. I'm tired of sullen looks from my 12yo because morning is her enemy. I'm tired of cold. I want sunshine and lazy mornings. Summer plans? I'm taking 8 people from 2 countries and 3 airports to Rome for 10 days to celebrate ds's college graduation. It will be fabulous. I also want to drive up to the UP of Michigan to spend a couple of weeks with my brother. I can work from his house as easily as I can work from mine. They have 3 boys aged 4mo - 7 years. They are great fun in the summer with Lake Superior a short walk from the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbookbuzz Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 Glad to 'see' you, Karen! I'm sure you will be brilliant this morning! Maybe that's where my brilliance went today, to visit you! You're welcome. :*) I really need to get to my own school work . . . okay, just a few more minutes drooling over next year's curricula choices then to work!

TechWife Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Well, here I am. DS is in geometry class. He has his final today & as he was getting out of the car he said "I hope I remembered my calculator." Oh, dear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalypso Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Instead of bed, I have to go and drag my kids out the the chicken coop. I would have never dreamed that chickens could be so distracting when we got them. We are are tired of school and will be completely finished next Friday. I really just want to plan for next year. I wish that the Memoria Press catalog didn't look so appealing. Hope everyone has a productive day :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Scrap! I missed you! It's felt like summer here for a few days. It's been in the 80's. We tend to school year around so even once it is summer proper we'll still be doing some kind of school. Knowing the kind of weather we get here, it will probably be cold and rainy by the time it is actually summer! Vacation plans? There will be two family weddings this summer. I think those will end up being my vacations. Homework - hmmm. Is it something I even know how to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbookbuzz Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 We're not close to being done with school, but I'm done with having to make them remember to do their assignments! Sheesh! Where in AZ are you? I'm in Phoenix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbookbuzz Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 Jean, since we posted at the same time I didn't see your 'post' earlier. Sorry! I've missed you too! We are definitely doing the 'year round' schedule. Summer just adds more physical activity with swim team for both. We have two weddings coming up soon. I may be giving them Blockbuster gift cards! LOL Homework - it's really just reading a lot of history right now and writing a paper on it. Can you do that? 8^) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Oooh! I can do history! In exchange, you get to clean my outdoor grill that is soaking in oven cleaner (to get the gunk off), figure out a low carb dinner for my family and make it, school a 11 and 15 year old (pretty easy today, actually) and clean my kitchen. Want to trade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa in SC Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I need to get back to teaching, but couldn't resist dropping in. We will be doing school light on and off through the summer, but this summer promises to be busier than usual. Ds7 will have swimming. Dd17 will graduate from high school in early June, leave for college orientation 2 days later, leave for Future Business Leaders of America's National Competition in late June. My mom and her husband will be here in June for the graduation and also for dd20's baby shower, which I'm still planning. Ds 14 will tend our garden and run his lawn care business. We'll have our annual family vacation in July. My best friend is also visiting in July, and dd20 is due in early August. Dd17 needs outfitted for college (books, clothes, dorm stuff), and moves in August 16, unless she decides to rush, in which case she moves in earlier. Then our homeschool will start in earnest. For the first time in our homeschool history, I'm considering postponing our start date until after Labor Day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrapbookbuzz Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 Tech wife, how did his geometry exam go? All, I started a new workout program on Monday but it actually schedules Wednesdays off. Might be a good thing 'cause today is proving to be an 'off' day anyway. I really loathe that time of the month! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
