lots of little ducklings Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I loved my Franklin. I loved my Day Runner before that. I remember when those things first came out; I was in a store and saw a display of these amazing...books. Didn't even really have a name for them. And it had everything I wanted--a two-page calendar, section for addresses, section for contacts...it was as if someone had sat and interviewed me for hours and designed this book especially for me. Geek. :D I made the change to Franklin many years later...I forget why. Maybe it was the dated daily pages? IDK. Too long ago. But Franklin also had *pretty* pages. :D I'm a big fan of momAgenda. So pretty! So many options! Starts in August! And it doesn't get screwed up every time it syncs like iCal. Plus I can throw it in the crawlspace at the end of the year, in hopes that someday I'll turn all the scribbled notes in it into baby books for the kids. (Not likely; but at least that makes me feel better about being a bad momma) However, momAgenda only has space for four children. Nina at momAgenda, I need more space!! :toetap05: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I've never been into Brad Pitt. Someone asked me who the best looking male celebrity was and I said Nick from Grimm.

Ellie Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Had a brief e-mail conversation with Landon's social worker today. I'm keeping things brief because I don't want anything I say to be misconstrued, KWIM? Anyway, she said they are working for reunification and so temporary custody will be with someone local, but if they aren't able to reunify, they will keep us in mind. Which is fine. I just want us to be officially in the loop. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Lynn Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I'm home from CC day. I'm having popcorn and half a glass of wine. Ahhhhh. I don't even have any responsibilities on Mondays, but still it's nice to be home. And quiet. The problem with homeschool groups (well, one of their problems) is that once a week is not enough repetition for kids to learn appropriate classroom behavior, imho. I still use a paper planner. This one: https://www.taylorintime.com/product/2016-day-planner-refill-white/I've used it ever since my auditing days with Arthur Andersen. They provided it for us and even though I only worked there 2 years, it is still my favorite. I don't remember any preggo dreams. My 7yo is playing school with pretend children now. Renai, glad you're home. Hope you feel better on the meds soon! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsuga Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I've never been into Brad Pitt. Someone asked me who the best looking male celebrity was and I said Nick from Grimm. After watching another episode I realized he looks exactly like my husband. I guess I have a type? I have never seen the appeal in Brad Pitt. Now that he's older and I occasionally see pictures of him with his kids I think, well, that's not so bad. But that's purely my imagination of his personality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I think I need popcorn as well. I have one more violin student this afternoon, and then I am determined to go to the literature discussion group at church tonight since I actually managed to read the short story (The Dead by James Joyce).

Openhearted Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 We had a bad day. It started badly and ended with getting a lot less done than I had planned. Tomorrow is homeschool Halloween party at the library. Wednesday, I have to take an elderly lady that I help to the hospital for a test. Then Thursday, ds20, dd16 and I have an appointment for dental cleaning. So I was wanting to get some extra done today, but nope. Didn't happen. Little dd started out mad at little ds because he woke her up, and everything went worse from there. I finally gave up, and we watched the neighbor harvest the soybeans from the field across the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I need parenting advice. Mary is rather non verbal and used to notify us that she needed a diaper change by walking up to us and standing at our feet. She also frequently pees on the potty (adult toilet with a kid's seat) for fun. For the past 3 days or so she has stopped telling us she needs a diaper change. Now she has diaper rash. Does this mean it's time to potty train her or something? She's about 2 1/2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
