AMJ Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 ACK. I want you to know this caused me considerable trauma and panic. But I checked and I did not forget to add you. Whew! AAAHHH! I have hit my quota on likes! I can't like this post! I will friend a lot of people tomorrow. The kids are in bed after being introduced to FireFly (It's educational. There's math: "Let's see, 10% of nothing -- let me do the math. Nothin' from nothin', carry the nothin'...." There's foreign languages -- Mandarin Chinese, which we actually have in Rosetta Stone! There's all kinds of cultural references and human interpersonal relationships....) Now it's time for DH and I to shower from our hot and sweaty day and maybe playact just a little. Besides, he gets a reward for giving me MORE early Mother's Day presents AND finishing carving a tray for our silverware drawer (out of one solid piece of wood!). He deserves it! Night-night! I'll finish catching up tomorrow! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 If anyone is serious about pelvic floor stuff this caught my attention. I will probably buy it in a few months when we're less broke. There's all kinds of exercisers out there. In some countries (I think France is one), it is common for women to get a type of physical therapy after child birth to help get back in shape. They use...exercisers too. It's covered in their health insurance (both physical therapy and the tools). Or so I read a few years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lots of little ducklings Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 There are alarms on the market you can set up with your own voice telling the kids to get up because there is a fire. These seem to work for some kids who often otherwise sleep through alarms. Perhaps you could get one for your room and record baby cries into it? :w00t: Hey, smart! But no. It sounds awful. Even the peaceful crickets my dh uses for his alarm make me want to throttle someone. Really, I just don't want to get up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 It has been a long time since I read that book. I don't even remember if I read the whole thing. And, at this point, I think I'm too old to care. (about the book, not about friends). Well then, you should get the audiobook and LISTEN to it. It is a real experience, let me tell you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lots of little ducklings Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Okay. I realize I've worked a little too much with CC lately, but I have to tell you that it does not have standards for life skills. It is either math or ELA, which are both used in life skills. Thus, one would write the plan this way: LotsofLittleDucklings lesson plan for Grade 2 field trip to Dunkin' Donuts: Math Operations and Algebraic thinking CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.OA.B.2 Fluently add and subtract within 20 using mental strategies.2 By end of Grade 2, know from memory all sums of two one-digit numbers. (Example: If a dozen donuts is $10, and we add mommy's special latte of $5, how much did mommy just spend?) The above example will also work for: Number and Operations in Base Ten CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.NBT.B.8 Mentally add 10 or 100 to a given number 100-900, and mentally subtract 10 or 100 from a given number 100-900. Geometry CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.G.A.1 Recognize and draw shapes having specified attributes, such as a given number of angles or a given number of equal faces.1 Identify triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, and cubes. (Example: How many angles (or faces) does the donut box have? What shape is that?) For enrichment, use said donut box and mentioned above and the donuts themselves for the following activities: CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.G.A.2 Partition a rectangle into rows and columns of same-size squares and count to find the total number of them. CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.G.A.3 Partition circles and rectangles into two, three, or four equal shares, describe the shares using the words halves, thirds, half of, a third of, etc., and describe the whole as two halves, three thirds, four fourths. Recognize that equal shares of identical wholes need not have the same shape. See? Easy peasy. Do what you want, then slap standards on them. Do the same for the ELA. Works like a charm. Who needs cc-specified curriculum? :smilielol5: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, when you really get into the Mexican comedy mood, look up Cantinflas. Cannot. get. enough. between the two of them.

I agree with you on the Krispy Kremes. Something about their texture just isn't right, in my opinion. If you get ahold of a good New Orleans-style shop they will have Begniets (spelling?).
