swellmomma Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Brandy, I hope your endo appoinment goes well and you will get some answers! Did you ever get it sorted out with the family who went to the police to press charges? I haven't heard anything since from the police. The boy who did that, was demoted in cadets, has been shunned by the whole corps as untrustworthy and claims it was all his mom's doing, she made the report etc except I saw the written report in his handwriting with his signature at the end so he is full of crap and trying to save his hide by claiming that. He shot himself in the foot basically because he was already an outsider of sorts and really only had friends at cadets through mine, he hung out with my 2, their best friend (also a homeschooler) and a friend that joined this year that they have known for years etc. When he crossed our family that much they all shut him out (I have given shelter to the one boy for years, as his homelife is horrible so he is loyal to our family and he goes to school with several of the other cadets and word got around fast). Anyway, boy is learning the hard way what happens when you make a false claim to begin with and go above the CO's head regardless. He has also been told that it is very unlikely he will have any chance at being chosen for summer camp (only 30% of all cadets in Canada get chosen in any given year so it is tight stakes) So yeah it has pretty much worked itself out though my kids and I can no longer wait inside the building on shooting nights etc. So I have had to step back from a lot of volunteering commitments I made to them.

swellmomma Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Finished work this morning. dd14 is currently in her latin class. I just remembered ds15 has an appt with the shrink this afternoon, but I think I need to reschedule it, I just can't fit another thing into my day without something suffering.

Jean in Newcastle Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 OK - deep breath - this new stronger antibiotic is making me feel like I'm pushing through molasses. It is almost 10 am and all I have managed to get done is breakfast and I haven't even picked up from it. Time to a bit of regrouping. I do need to add some probiotic/kombucha supplies to my list. This new antibiotic is also kicking me in the gut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysteryJen Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Lunchtime here. It is cold and snowy and the drive in for swim lessons this am took 3x the normal time. My morning already wrecked timewise, I stopped at the grocery store and got gas. I hope everyone is feeling better! So now, I still have the normal stuff to do. School for kids oversee teens oversee chores make dinner (chili...yum) clear driveway and sidewalks maybe some decluttering if time pm practice: swimming only Habits: green smoothie write 30 minutes art/craft 30 minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 Thanks, everyone. I hope you can put up with a lot of posts from me today. It is what allows me to be on track on a day when my brain has turned to mush along with the rest of my body. * Made my bed. * solved problem of the printer that has suddenly stopped working by remembering that I had already printed out this assignment. Found it! (Will have to figure out printer's problem later.) * solved problem of schoolwork today by working through a schedule with both kids that doesn't require me. * solved problem of the dog with ADHD and the test-taking child with ADHD being in the same place by sticking the dog (not the child) in the bathroom. Dog isn't happy but oh, well. It's only until the test is done. * solved problem of my sieve-brain not remembering if I took my meds just minutes after I was supposed to take my meds by dumping them out and counting them. I had taken my meds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 I have showered and dressed. And finally brushed my teeth. Ds has done one hour of a math test. He's less than halfway done the test. Sigh. (This might be a thread for the high school board.) Dd has done Lang. arts and reading comprehension. The dog is now back in the dining room instead of howling and tap dancing in the bathroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swellmomma Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 good grief, dd6 brings me her math book and asks to do more, she worked on it last night on her own so I asked to see her book to see how she did. I take a look down on her page, and there is some interesting artwork. I ask what she did to her math book. Her reply: "I drew a dinosaur to take over the world but all he took over was the lines." Yup, that's what happens when you don't sit next to a 6 year old working on math, a dinosaur will appear and take over the lines she she can't possibly finish it.

swellmomma Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 learned today that if you don't actually put JAWM in a post it means people don't have to be nice. Not just offer their opinion but out right don't have to be nice. (actual post said that today in my thread). I always thought kindness was a character trait most would want to exude whether giving their opinion or not, but apparently it is only necessary in a jawm thread. Who knew?

Jean in Newcastle Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 Went over to make sure the kitty sitting job my kids have been doing was up to snuff for the client's return today.

swellmomma Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Got a new job. Interview Friday is a formality, boss already got my uniform size, asked me to bring my stamped direct deposit form from my bank to the interview and wants to email me the net training so that when I start on the 15th I can jump right in and not need the backroom net training. 16 hours a weekend at the A&W, not the perfect job but makes up more than 1/2 what I lost from the diner job ending.

Jean in Newcastle Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 Went out on errands with the kids: Got high powered probiotics. Went to pet store and got stuff for the cat and dog that the kids paid for because they were "extras" that they simply wanted so they wouldn't have to take care of them so much (like automatic watering dishes). Went to the grocery store and got stuff for supper and also my kombucha to try and stabilize my gut with all these antibiotics I'm taking. Went to the library where both kids had stuff to pick up and take back. Came home, unloaded everything and put it away. Now I'm ready to collapse.

THe teens did less than yesterday but the youngers did more. Library stuff was returned. petcare done. garbage can is on the road. I did not finish anything else as a head ache creeped up on me and my sinuses are starting to cause issues again tonight. It is now midnight and I figure I had best be getting to bed if I plan to not fall asleep during my 5 hour drive tomorrow evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
