TammyinTN Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Good Morning! Jean....I sure hope your doctor isn't a jerk today! :grouphug: Give the main floor a quick tidy and vacuum. Get nails done and lunch with the hubby. Come home and hangout with my crazy family. Have a great Saturday everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Hello all! Happy Saturday! Jean, I hope the doc is not too bad! Dd's AHG project is taking over my schedule today. Last minute details for her booth at the International Festival. Picking up some chopsticks, making fried rice etc. Tonight working at consignment sale and getting ready for church tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halcyon Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Good morning everyone! Today we have a few things we need to get done. Saturdays, DH usually takes the boys to Panera to work on homeschool stuff for 3 hours, but I think I might join them this morning since DS12 needs a bit of help with science. DH will be tackling the AoPS with him (ack!) which as I understand is only going to get more challenging as the weeks progress. Then we'll drop the boys off at Free Skate and DH and I will run errands. Tonight we may go out (just the two of us) for a glass of wine at a local restaurant--we haven't had a date night in months and it's time. Hope to fit in a workout and a meditation session also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[done] Clean kitchen and bathrooms and some de-cluttering. [done] Work until 4:30. (Nanny has the kids for 5 hours today.) Take work breaks for:A little exercise [done] A little readingn[done] Terra Nova test prep [done for today] Pinewood derby car - step 2 - whatever that is. :p [done] Change out the fish water.

Jean in Newcastle Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 OK - had a very very embarrassing drop in visit from dh's nephew and wife. Dh was still asleep since he works swing shift. Dd was still asleep since he's sick. Ds is at work. I had actually laid down again on my futon in the middle of the living room so it was still out when they came. I had a wild fleeting impulse to either a) not open the door and pretend we weren't home or b) to make them wait outside for ten minutes while I picked things up but instead, I squared my shoulders, told them that we've been sick and invited them in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TammyinTN Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Today didn't exactly go as planned...sat on 1-95 for 2 hours before turning around to come back to our town. Didn't get my nails done...I'll just wait another week and go next weekend. Still had lunch with hubby and we decorated the front of the house for Easter. So glad to see the sun and it's melting the snow quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Well, we've been working together for about 15 minutes and I've already hollered. It's going to be a long evening. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 ((SKL)) i went and filled my prescription because my throat/tongue still hurts and dh told me that I'd better not fool around with this. I am so tired. So I'm not doing much of anything. I feel guilty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share Posted March 8, 2015 I called my oldest sister and we talked while I cleaned the kitchen. It makes what seems like an unmanageable task manageable! Took the antibiotic with dinner. Now I have to go lie down for awhile. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Well, the pinewood derby thing was pretty hilarious. In retrospect. Their film design things were a complete fail. Good thing I bought some paint and decals as a backup. I was really glad the black paint I flung on the floor was easy to clean up. It only took me a little while to find the lost nail (wheel axle). I still don't know if the darn things will even roll by the time we get done, ha ha. Tomorrow we should put the shiny coat on, then some week day we'll do the pretty designs and finally put the wheels on, which I hope will all be aligned well enough to allow the car to travel in a straight line .... I cracked the wood on one of the cars. I hope that doesn't come back to bite me. My girls have suddenly decided this project is really important to them. It will be interesting to see what decorations they come up with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shannon in TN Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 At the state Science Olympiad competition today! Dd looks sooooo tiny and young compared to these senior boys :eek: We had our Regional yesterday! How did she do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 We had our Regional yesterday! How did she do? She rocked it :D We had very low expectations this year as a ninth grade in Division C, hoping for maybe one medal in the 8th-10th place range. But she pulled out a 3rd in Astronomy and a 5th in Geologic Mapping. She walked out of those events laughing and shaking her head over how difficult the tests were! She said Division B (with the same state event supervisors/test writers) was a piece of cake compared to Division C. (I am so glad I didn't listen to other people who thought I should keep her on the Division B team :D) The rest of the team did well. I think next year we'll have a very strong team at states. There are a couple current eighth graders who would be very good additions to the high school team. Now I have a break as coach until the fall :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
