texasmama Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 My student syllabus is posted. I'm sure everyone needed to know that. Mine is the first syllabi up. I'm hungry. I saw a bacon-wrapped grilled cheese sammy on FB yesterday and decided to make it with turkey bacon and gf bread. It tasted good, and the kids ate it, but it looked like one of those Pinterest "Nailed it" side by side pics. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I can tell you what works for me, working 40+ hours and homeschooling: 1. Don't invite people over. Then you don't have to clean. 2. Get single-ply Scott's toilet paper. Then when they invite themselves over, they never come back. I shall keep a roll or two of cushy-soft toilet paper for my ITT friends when you visit, though. I'm sure y'all will help me with the cleaning. Slache will be #bossyboots and coordinate everyone/assign tasks. 1. I don't ever invite people over because my house is never clean anyway. 2. Since no one is here but us, I go for the middle-of-the-road and not-too-expensive-or-cheap paper. :D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renai Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 :lol: Best.solution.ever. This is genius. Who needs other stupid threads when I have ITT? This will give me an idea of the time needed to plan it, too. I know, right??? I'm no good at starting new threads. I'm only good at mucking up existing ones. :laugh: Oh, my favorite guys!

Renai Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 So, I'm back from a parenting workshop I had signed up for a couple of weeks ago. it was nice. While I was there, I got a phone call, which I let go to voicemail. One of the state prek consultants that I met a couple of years ago is working at one of the schools I use to hang out at (tutoring, student teaching, yadayada). It seems that the former district curriculum supervisor (who I met last year) had suggested she call me to ask if I could be lead teacher of their prek program. So that consultant called another consultant that she knew for my number. (I know the other consultant because I worked with her years ago, then again when I was a prek teacher, and she's been attending older dd's dance performance for years.) I don't know what to think. I'm beginning to feel really wanted. And not in the FBI sense. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Lynn Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 A couple of times today, I got an error message. Instead of going back to my post, and I thought my post had been swallowed, but when I left WTM altogether then came back and checked, my message was there. Have you had problems like that? I've had something similar happen with "likes." It will tell me it couldn't record my like (or whatever that message is), but when I refreshed my "like" was there. Maybe it was trying to do double likes and then gave itself the error message for doing it twice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Maybe I'm done with lesson 3? I think. It sort of depends on where I go next in my lesson series. I did map it all out but my lessons seem to have a mind of their own and often rewrite my outline for me. Anyway, my brain is done. I'm going to go home and have a snack and go back to being mom. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 So um... I may or may not be contemplating writing a Greek crriculum for the K-8 crowd based on the classical education model. I can't find anything I like for the kids. I've been looking for 2 years to find the right thing and nothing looks like I want it to. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Lynn Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I saw a grilled marshmallow and chocolate sandwich on white bread on pinterest. Noms! A long time ago at a friend's house she prepared this for dessert: Butter the outsides of two pieces of bread (it might have been sourdough or french bread - something worth eating!), on the inside, spread nutella and then slices of banana (possible spread nutella on both slices?). And maybe there were marshmallows involved too? I'm not sure. Anyway, then she put all this awesomeness on the grill. :drool5: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I ordered a copy of the original social security application for my grandfather who was born in 1918. I wanted it for genealogy purposes because we can't figure out who his parents were. I get the application in the mail today, and THE PARENTS' NAMES ARE BLACKED OUT. Their reasoning is because they could still be alive and they don't give out that info. I can appeal if I disagree, which I do, and I may. Grrr.

That's why you all have missed me this morning. That's why I've been absent for a couple of days. Well, that and all this reading i'm doing plus altering our school routine so that I'm up at 5am (which I love and I hate, but I think the hate part will diminish after my sleep cycles adjust.

If you call and leave a message and I call back and leave a message, that's pretty much it for me. You'll have to catch me in or use EMAIL which doesn't require any tag whatsoever.

Here's mine: August - start slowly and get everyone used to routine and expectations September - everything goes swimmingly Mid October - panting with tongue hanging out, dropping subjects right and left like foot soldiers dropping paraphernalia on a 20 mile march in July. November - Relieved to have streamlined, but now stressing that demands will be made for participation in various Thanksgiving festivities, and then Christmas. (I could homeschool if I could sub-contract out these darn holidays.) December - Ah, time to go light. I'm justified since I have to do all this darn holiday stuff. January - time to get real again - still plenty of school year left to accomplish goals. February - Well, this year is pathetic. I think I'll start thinking about what I'd like to use next year. March - Thank God we can take spring break April - It's so pretty outside and it's been a long winter. They should do nature study outside. May - Praise the Lord, we're done.
