But, I love you guys and think you're accomplishing amazing things. So, I'm all for encouragement! You are awesome. Every group needs Another Lynn.

swellmomma Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Be proud of me folks. I used a hashtag on fb for the first time tonight, actually I used 3 of them in the same post lol. It was one of my oversharing posts, but it was important to me to share it and then it morphed into me sharing about a t-shirt campaigned tied to what I was sharing, and I ended up not only linking to the campaign but also hashtagging the titles of the charities associated with it. Might not be a big deal, but I was a hashtag virgin and now I am not lol 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lots of little ducklings Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Slash, how do you use Education Unboxed? Feel free to take your time answering because I'm not supposed to be here anyway. I'll check back later. Much later. :D I watch the videos myself and then start acting it out next to him. He often decides to do something completely different but I see our math time as a time of discovery and while I want his brain stimulated I'm not concerned about progressing forward. He's very language oriented so we have structure and progression in phonics with review and stuff, but he might not start a formal math program until 1st grade. Education Unboxed jumps around a lot. He can't do some of the early videos, but can do some of the 1st gradeish ones. What math program do you hope to use? Oddly enough, my kids enjoy watching the videos, and then after they've done the exercise a few times with me, they like to "teach" it to themselves or each other. It's become a great source of independent math work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a day. Kind of a loooooooong day. Negative: Dinner is going to be very late. I wish I could go to Renai's house. I love me some catfish and greens. :drool5: So, on tonight's agenda: Much, much reading. But I like Genesis, so there you go. Oh, and I like dubbing Lynn the official cheerleader. This is turning into a stream-of-consciousness post. Oh, and Susan will be glad to know that Poopaerobics is a standard part of my day.

Slache Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Confession. I was a cheerleader. I wasn't one of the preppy popular kids, but I was hot and funny. I loved being a cheerleader. It was only my freshman year at my school in California before we moved to Oregon. The cheerleaders in Oregon sucked. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikslo Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 AMJ, so excited for you! Go, Renai, Go! Slache, I missed the vent, but hugs for difficult situations and implementing so many good habits! (BTW, dh and I did C25K again this am after a week and a half interruption. yay!) Tex, yay for getting the ceiling fixed. Boo for the interruption of having people in your house all day and using your kitchen sink! againstthegrain - sorry for lack of sleep. But yay for changing plans for fall - simplifying and streamlining is good for everyone! Jean - glad you found the cat. You are trying to channel your inner MacGyver? My dh fixed our toilet once years ago after hours of struggling (and maybe a few choice words) and came out singing the theme song from Rocky. You can be whoever you want to be, lol. Brandy, glad to see you have your priorities straight! And, one more cheer for Renai doing her homework: Hope you're getting a lot done! (Btw, do you have to take older dd to eye specialist this week? Did I miss that?) Lynn is like our own private cheerleader! :willy_nilly: (That was the closest one I found.)

It was hot here today. I actually swam at the pool. I realized last night that I have varicose veins in m legs that really stand out after being on my feet all day. Best friend from high school called and complained that her house hasn't sold yet. It went on the market less than a week ago... Okay, that's all I got.

Slache Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Renai, Strayer Upton is a math program used in I believe the 1920s. Here is my vintage math journey. I discovered Ray's (in TWTM me thinks) and went through much of it as it's public domain. I was in love. Why is math no longer taught like this? It is so simple. It covers everything a child should know in my opinion, such as how debt, taxes, and all that other horrible stuff works. Keep in mind that vintage maths were not written with the intention of a child finishing Calculus by the end of high school, so if that's your goal then this might be a bit too much. Hunter said she likes SU better than Ray's because you progress from one book to the next instead of juggling several books at a time. Hmm. Interesting. I was going to buy them to check them out and in the mean time started this thread. I never purchased the books because I then remembered School Arithmetics which would allow me to do the oral problems from my phone and print the rest out as worksheets. Booya. Read the Strayer Upton description to see what I'm planning on using if you care as they're essentially the same.

swellmomma Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Holy cow. SO I shared earlier about my fb post (my hashtag one). It was sharing my personal struggle with depression. I got a pm from a girl I grew up with, as young teens we were really good friends, these days we are just fb friends. She thanked me for my post. She has been struggling with depression for years, she never really tells anyone. Tonight she was having a rough go of it and then she read my post. She told me tonight it helped her decide to fight harder, to not give up. That now she knows she is not alone in this battle. It's funny, the urge to write that post had been weighing heavily on my heart today, so much so that on my lunch break at work I composed it on paper in my car and then just typed it up onto facebook after work. I was really worried about putting it out there for all my friends and family to see and to learn the truth. But now I see it was meant to be. It helped a friend hold on longer. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May all your dominations succeed for you today. :) Thanks! :hurray: I feel better now that everyone is paying attention to me. Actually, I took the morning off work so that I could have the dentist check out my chipped tooth. You know, the one I chipped eating a jawbreaker a few weeks ago at work? I think I posted that here. Or maybe it was the Annoyance Thread. Co-worker had out a dish of them and I hadn't had one since I was a kid. Looked so fun. Until I got distracted and do what I always do with hard candy - I bit down. I should know better. And you all can laugh, it's okay. I can take it. Thankfully, I have had no pain from this, just a jagged molar and therefore an irritated tongue. But I needs me to get it taken care of before it causes more issues. :sad: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
