AMJ Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 :scared: See! NO Texas! Maybe we can all meet in Hawaii or something? Nothin' wrong with Texas. It's huge, and so there's quite a lot of variability in terrain, climate, etc. Pretty much a place for everyone, if they just decide to give it a try. I liked your post for the comment on Hawaii. We should all go, and Ellie can teach us all the hula. We can visit the Polynesian Cultural Center, buy up every Super Ambassador and Ambassador ticket they have, and take the place over for a day or two! We can eat fried rice for breakfast and attend a hokey tourist luau. Then we can go for helicopter rides over the volcanoes and paddle in some outrigger canoes. And if you hang near me I promise you won't get bitten by mosquitoes -- there are few in Hawaii (relative to the rest of the US, that is), and they will all be busy feasting on me. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 And...you missed your booyah. :001_tt2: I just saw it. I'm popping on in tiny fits and spurts in between washing pots, keeping the laundry running, and teaching the kids. They have 2 tests/quizzes today, so I had a little more time than usual, but there are a LOT of interruptions. Including having to go rescue the cat from the mockingbirds. Every so often I have to go yell at them in mockingbirdese and restake my claim to my doorsteps. If I don't they will stare in our windows and yell at us while we are inside. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellie Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 How have you been faring? Anywhere near the recent tornadoes? We are not near the tornadoes. We've had lots of rain--the most since 2007--and although there's flooding and whatnot, our Lake Travis is down 70%, so we desperately need that rain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellie Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Today's news: I finished cleaning two bathrooms; washing, folding, and putting away two loads' worth of sheets and towels; changed the sheets on my bed; and took down, washed, and put back up the curtains on seven windows [notice the Oxford comma, which I used because it was necessary in this sentence. Do not expect it in every sentence where there is a series.] Following that, I put "Star Man" in the DVD player and took a nap. A second nap may follow. Such is life in the world of a Hashimoto's disease sufferer. ::head desk:: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if I can use getting a manicure and pedicure as a Science Day field trip. I mean they do use chemicals to put those nails on and my son is in Chemistry so..... Between the county fair, day-trip proximity to Houston (Downtown Aquarium, Rodeo, etc.), and the Texas Ren Fest (they have school days in early November!) my girls are starting to expect carnival rides and games most anyplace I take them for educational outings. I'm going to have to get them to some more historical places soon, before we end up studying WWII and visit the holocaust museum. That would be a bit of a shock, I think. One up-side of the prevalence of attractions at educational venues is the kids always talk about how much fun it is to go. I also tell them no fun and games until after the learning is all covered, so they have incentive to pay attention and not sidetrack me into extra lectures by complaining about how long it's taking. Said extra lectures are often about the foolhardiness of distracting Mom by complaining too much, and they tend to go on at length, drawing out the time until we get to the rides and games and shortening the time they would have to spend there. I think the kids are finally starting to figure it out.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJ Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 We are not near the tornadoes. We've had lots of rain--the most since 2007--and although there's flooding and whatnot, our Lake Travis is down 70%, so we desperately need that rain. We need it, too, but I'd rather get it at a gentler, steadier rate. All of this storm and stop, storm and stop is causing a lot of flooding. Our ground is so saturated at the moment all of the new rain falling just runs into the drainages where it goes on to flood more in the lower-lying areas. At least certain lakes (reservoirs mostly, not natural lakes) are filling up again, which has the added benefit of catching a LOT of the run-off from upstream that would otherwise make the flooding around here even worse.
