scrapbookbuzz Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 It's not even 0900 (9am) here. Isn't that a bit early for whine? Now, I don't drink it but the kids are sure pouring it out generously. Oh, wait, I heard some laughter. But I'm sure it won't be too long before brother walks into the same room as sister and the pouring of whine will begin yet again. Anyone else facing this today?

scrapbookbuzz Posted September 11, 2013 Author Share Posted September 11, 2013 Betty, I thought about that! And while I do have a Mike's in the fridge 8) I will wait until later this evening. Now to go find out where the history curriculum hid itself so we can get to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK_Mom4 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Too earl for whine here, but I do have one that is talking in all exclamation points (DD12) and another who is just irritable due to all the rain (he hates to drive in the rain). Pouring more coffee for myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbeym Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I'm sure there's plenty of whine at my house. I sent an email early this morning to both children and DH itemizing what is due this week and what is past due. I suspect next week needs to be dedicated to "catching up" though. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spryte Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Lots of whine here, too. Some of it is coming from me, unfortunately. :blushing: I'm sick, and would love to call in a substitute teacher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbookbuzz Posted September 11, 2013 Author Share Posted September 11, 2013 bobbeym, I sometimes wish I could 'email' the kids what they need to do, knowing it would get done. The proven reality (from when I've been on weeklong trips) is that neither by children can be responsible for following written instructions to completion nor can my dh be expected to hold them accountable for it. *sigh* Must be why I get so irritated when he suggests that I get a job . . . but I digress. Now it's almost lunch time and I need to figure out what we're eating! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbookbuzz Posted September 11, 2013 Author Share Posted September 11, 2013 Amazing how a younger brother can never let an older sister just "be" . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom in High Heels Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 It's not too early for wine. Oh, wait, you meant whine. Well, it's not too early for that either! Whine away, and then drink some wine later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen in CO Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Unfortunately, early enough for whine and early enough for wine don't come at the same time of day. Chocolate and coffee have to do until a little later. I love to make risotto. My recipe calls for one glass of white wine in the risotto and one glass for the cook to drink while she stirs and stirs. You can't walk away from risotto while it's cooking so I pour a glass of wine, pull up a stool and ignore all the whine for 20 minutes. "Sorry, I'm making risotto. It will have to wait."

I'm amazed at how successful the email, along with a "due date" log that listed course, generic assignment due, and grading method (color-coded to folders and binders, of course) was in getting DH to get some of that stuff done. I only grade English assignments and History papers, DH grades everything else, but I declined to grade tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
