ToDo: -curl my hair (because that's important..for speaking Latin :tongue_smilie: ) -bike to train station -train to Leiden (read a book!) -exhibit -lunch -lectures & workshops -dinner? -train back (read a book!) -take dd10 to homeschool family with telescope I hope everyone has a nice day!

MomtoCandJ Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Prayers Jean - dishes- done - laundry- load in dryer, all others folded and put away - tidy house- in progress, I had to clean out a spot in our closet for dd2's convertable carseat (we got an infant one at the family gathering), just getting that seat out of the living room has made a big difference :) now if it would warm up enough to melt all the snow so dh can get his motorcycle out of the shed, he can organize it and put his new air compressor in there (said tool is currently residing in my living room) - nap- well I took a 30 minute one - get dd1 off bus- done - dinner- cheeseburgers with fries - bedtime routine I'm in a cleaning mood today, so I'm drinking coffee with hot cocoa mix in it to keep me focused so I can complete things (otherwise the house will look worse then when I started due to half completed tasks) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Jean-- :grouphug: Tress--Have an amazing day! It's going to be a busy, busy day! We leave this evening after cleaning the office. I wanted to drive north of Atlanta and spend the night rather than try to drive through Atlanta in the morning. It's about 3.5 hours to Greenville, and I want to get there in time to go to a 10:00 session. I'm so excited to go! I love homeschool conventions. A young homeschool mom, Karla, is coming this afternoon. She called me with questions about the standardized testing our state requires, and we began talking about all kinds of things including different curricula. I offered to let her come and look over the format of the results from the test I use as well as some different curricula I have here. She seems to really need some encouragement. Saw dh off with his breakfast and lunch in hand coffee and computer time breakfast for the rest of us school with ds: reading, history, science, writing, math, grammar school with dd: chemistry, alg 2, history, test prep lunch tidy house pack for trip to convention get out things to show Karla visit with Karla dinner go clean office head out on our trip!

mom31257 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Dh just called me and his principal is going to let him take a sick day, so he gets to go with us to the convention. I'm excited to have help with the kids, but I hope what he wants to do doesn't thwart my own plans... No, it'll be fine. I've enjoyed conferences with him before. His grandpa (who is 100) lives just a few minutes from the convention center, so he really wants to see him, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Tress, what a fabulous day!! Amy, have a great time at the conference. I hope our respective conferences this weekend will be beneficial :) So today, the first day of spring (free Rita's water ice today---go if you have one nearby! Ours will be inundated by college kids.): --school, including finalizing research paper topic for English --exercise --those papers I didn't touch yesterday --the copying I didn't get to yesterday --laundry --get cash and snacks for the drive to VA tomorrow --pack, remembering things like paper for notes and charging cords Aaaand the sun just came out from the clouds :party: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Jean, have a good, restful day! Tress, can I come with you? I'm sure I wouldn't understand a thing, but it sounds like fun. And I really need to get out! Well, good Thursday morning to you all! It is the first day of Spring. Vernal Equinox! ** school ** co-op prep (rocketry is done, now I'm back to teaching PE. I think we're going to do traditional playground games for a few weeks) ** that's about it. If I feel motivated I will do some housework, but I really don't feel motivated. You'd think after 10 years of allergy shots, and the fact that I am still taking numerous allergy meds I would feel better. But.... no! Pollen count is high and I feel like dirt.

Jean in Newcastle Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 Keep in mind that I've only been upright for ten minutes and that things might change. The chiropractor gave me ten hours of mild pain (as opposed to the severe pain I've been in). Unfortunately, the ten hours was up at 2 am last night. I can barely walk at the moment because of the pain. I can also barely sit. We'll see how the day goes. . . Again, as I'm up, it may ease up a bit. Plus, as soon as I manage to eat breakfast I am taking all my meds including the muscle relaxant and the pain pill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckymama Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Just math remains :) I took care of papers and paperwork and the laundry. Tea time for me while dd wrestles with the topic for her research paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 Human care including breakfast done Pet care done I managed to bathe and dress myself without any help at all for the first time in 5 days! I am as proud as a toddler at having "done it myself". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Math is done. She submitted her research paper topic. We went over school expectations for tomorrow when I'm away (dh will be working from home). Poor baby is going to actually have to do her math on paper (gasp!) instead of on the whiteboard as dh won't be able to help or correct at all :lol: So now I think I'll check the recipe for dinner and change into my exercise gear for an hour workout :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 Dd's math done. She rejected all my teaching so I took myself off to clean the kitchen (done, btw) and let her figure it out on her own. And she did figure it out so that's good too. Ds has done robotics and history/lit. Family Bible study done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our closet is a mess, yet we still found room for a huge (5ft. Tall, 3 ft. Wide) safe. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysteryJen Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Home late tonight, pool problems so dd1's practice was late. But we came home to a nice dinner and basketball. My bracket is a disaster (thanks, NDSU), but we are having fun. Have a great night ladies, I am off to bed so I can get up when it is dark!

Jean in Newcastle Posted March 21, 2014 Author Share Posted March 21, 2014 Alg 2 done with ds Very tired. Went and grabbed teriyaki to - go for dinner and watched White Collar with the kids. Went grocery shopping for just a couple of things with dd Went to the pharmacy for the prescription of the day. Went to the pet store for a new harness but didn't find one we liked in the time before they closed. Will go back another day. Got an e-mail from the Zumba instructor I work with, telling me that she's leaving at the end of next month, before I will be physically able to go back to Zumba. :crying: I'm hoping I can get together with her for lunch next week.

maize Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 All I remember doing today is running kids around. I got everyone out the door in time to be only a couple minutes late to DD 10s 9:00 podiatrist appt., didn't get home from that until almost 11:00. I know we ate lunch, and I put the baby down for a nap and did some organizing in the homeschool room, the hung out in the front yard keeping an eye on the kids while they played, the little one needs to be watched because he doesn't understand about roads being dangerous. Took DD to friend's house at 3:30 so she could carpool to dance, came home and got the next three ready for gymnastics then took them to class and hung out with the toddler to wait, brought everyone home and played outside until the mosquitoes started coming out. Everyone here is in bed now, I'm just waiting for DD to get home from dance-- the studio is almost an hour away and her class doesn't get out until 9:00 so it makes for a late night for her. At least I didn't have to drive down and pick her up as I often do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted March 21, 2014 Author Share Posted March 21, 2014 Got way too tired today. Managed to get dishwasher loaded and running. Managed to find clean clothes to wear tomorrow. Managed to find the other part of dh's scrubs so he has something to wear to work tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tress Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Tress, can I come with you? I'm sure I wouldn't understand a thing, but it sounds like fun. And I really need to get out! I would have loved to go together, Krissi!! I think we would get along famously (that is the right expression, right?). The Latin lectures & workshops were fun, even though I was seriously underprepared: all other attendends were either high school Latin teachers (=masters degree in classics) or Latin professors.
