Professormom Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 :D DD10 gets her motor-mouth honestly. Now, if I can just get her to write it all down.... ETA: this Booyah is dedicated to ProfessorMom for helping get us to a new page quickly! Time for breakfast! Read ya all later! Awww, I would like to thanks the Academy (and AMJ:-) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJ Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I am a hero. Yes, you really are! Okay, now that I have read what ProfessorMom just posted to get us to the new page NOW is breakfast time! Thanks, Prof! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJ Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Okay, I AM accomplishing stuff today. In addition to taking out the trash and recycling I also had already started the laundry. I have now had breakfast and checked safercar.gov to see if my minivan has any recalls (none for mine), and now I have a spare minute here while the kids finish their math and get ready for "class" time. Oh, and I have also started the search-and-retrieve mission of finding my bullet journal. I'm in the wondering-where-I-might-have-left-it-last phase. See? I'm being productive!

JoJosMom Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 It's not cheating to post and post and post when others could be expected to be there but aren't responding. There is a lot of Booyahing going on when I'm not on the thread, so I'll Booyah when I can when I AM here. Besides, it's in the interest of thread health. Getting to new pages increases thread morale and helps keep the thread visible on the New Content page. People are wandering in when they see how many pages we have! Also, it helps to keep some of the thread participants on the Top Posters of the Day list, which also gets people wondering. :D So, as you can see, I am doing all of this in the interest of our little community here. :Angel_anim: Nope. Renai's right. Cheater. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Us either. It is lovely. Every time we found a snake when the boys were little, I could say, "Go pick it up" lol. I suppose it could have bitten them, but they never did. They were harmless little garters. In fact, one time, I impressed the entire neighborhood full of boys because they found a snake and I walked right up to it and grabbed it by the tail. They thought I was pretty cool. :-) I'm cool too. We had a little garter snake in the garden. We brought him in for a few minutes to study, then put him back i the garden. We later found the he was a mom, as appeared to smaller versions a while later. We named the mom Chavela. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renai Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Same with DH when he hears me. Sometimes I'm laughing loud enough he can hear me over his headphones. Then he has to pause what he's listening to in order to find out what is so funny. So in reality he's kinda sucked in, too! Dd15 is always saying, "Don't leave me hanging, tell me!" She'll come running from the kitchen too to find out what's going on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Lawrence Welk? Why, yes! All I'm missing now are the bubbles! If the rain holds off maybe I'll go outside with the girls to rectify that. I hope it will stop raining here and upstream from here long enough for the flooded cars to be cleared from the roads and for our yard to firm up enough to support the mower. Mowing doesn't work when everything sinks up to the blades due to boggy ground. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I know that doesn't sound like fun, but it's letting me avoid going to the grocery!!!) We are preparing for another round of relatives and friends and visiting. It is also the final school week of most of the nearby non-homeschooled cousins, so they will be loose and looking to play with my two. I have one less day this week for all of the needed prep because my friend's retirement lunch is a ways away on Friday, and dropping off kids and Grandma's & Grandpa's and going to & from the lunch will eat up the bulk of the day, and we have our weekly Friday gathering that evening, too. Next week will be yet another break, and I won't get to get on the thread much. As a consequence you all can go back to griping about how Slache gets most of the booyahs instead of complaining about my few. :001_tt2: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Slache: More Important Than Housework I like it. I made up some breakfast sandwiches, put Monsters Inc on, had my first cup of coffee in a week, and am now in bed. Later we'll do SWR cards, copywork, and play with c-rods because that's all he really cares about. Then it's PB&Js and nap time. I'll make Matt take them for a hike and bathe them. That's good enough. I'm feeling better and better every day so tomorrow might be awesome. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lots of little ducklings Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I actually prefer Look for those - bear necessities Those simple bear necessities Forget about your worries and your strife. I mean those, bear necessities Of mother nature's recipes that bring those bear necessities to life. Verse: Wherever I wander Wherever I roam I couldn't be fonder Of my great home. The bees are buzzing in the trees To make some honey just for me. Look under the rocks and plants And take a glance at the fancy ants. And maybe have a few.... The bear necessities of life will come to you... Yes, I spelled bare as bear because a bear was singing it. And yes, I pathetically remember the words even years after seeing the movie. That's a lot of typing. I am duly impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
