Professormom Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Hey hey! Be sure to check out our new Christmas booya songs! It's lunchtime. Dd13 is eating a banana dog - hot dog bun, banana, peanut butter, ketchup AND mustard. Dd17 is eating cheese puffs with a knife, pirate style. Dd6 is having a bun with ketchup only. #nutritionaltravesty Ooo, I haven't caught up yet, but will look for the songs. Maybe I will teach them to the kids. Lord knows ds13 would love a break from Algebra. So funny kids are. If he would just DO the work, SHOW the work, and LABEL the stinking work, he would be done in a fraction of the time😣 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professormom Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Good to see you, Prof! Hang in there, and when you have time tell us what you can about the crash. My sister and her friend used to say (to each other), "The best solution to my problem is your problem." This was in reference to the fact that when one had a problem she was stressing out about it took her mind off of it when she listened instead to her friend's problem. I think this thread has an element of that, among all of its other charms and graces. Omigosh, look at the time! I gotta go! Sorry, I should have clarified. Health crash, not car crash lol. No worries. And not much to tell. My mitochindria are broken, so my body and nervous system don't work like a normal person's. So if I do too much or have to much input, it just stops working and I end up homeschooling from the couch for a week to 10 days. Not fun, but no one knows how to fix it. But, it has been 12 years, so I just deal. Unfortunately, it makes me a bad thread participator, lol. Charming and graceful, that's us:-) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if I wasn't into riding my bike much, I would have held that against by mom FOREVER. (I'm only half kidding.) Can you lock them up outside with a tarp over them or something for the winter? My DS goes through times when he doesn't ride at all, and then times where it is every day. I just wouldn't be able to do that, take away the option, KWIM? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we would have mutiny if we got rid of bikes, but because the inlaws live with us, we have to be creative with bike storage too. Have you tried those hanging hooks? You can either hang the bikes from the rafters, or on the side walls. Then they are out of the way, but can still be used for family bike rides etc. just a thought. On a funny note, autocorrect changes bikes to kids when I wrote, "hang the bikes from the rafters" lol. I think there is merit in that. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prairiewindmomma Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Additional thoughts: 1. We just moved to a new area. We now live on a busy street in a very hilly neighborhood. My kids cannot be turned loose to bike on their own here. Even adults are afraid to bike here. With 4 kids, I cannot haul everybody's bike to a park (20 min away) to ride. With my minivan, my mount options are limited. 2. We have a PITA HOA which does not allow us to have anything like bikes under a tarp, etc. 3. The dimensions of the garage are tight here. It's a narrow two car. I could maybe hang bikes on ceiling hooks if I could find a stud in the right place and if I took down a wall cabinet we are not using. I think the bike hooks are about $15 each--doable for a couple of bikes, but dang expensive to hang 6 of them. 4. My kids are scooter people. I have no problems holding onto umpty bazillion scooters. They would also all fit into the back of the minivan to go to the park. For now, dh continues to park in the driveway at night so I can park inside. If he ends up getting a newer car we need to park it in the garage due to crime (urban area). The previous owners of the house had their truck stolen out of the driveway. It's just a common property crime occurrence here in my nice part of town. :( 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Ok, would anyone like to do my Christmas shopping for me? I've got 2 boys - 12 yrs. and 11 yrs.. Both have too many Legos and we really try to limit the electronics. Other than that, they don't read and they tend to break things. My oldest dd is done.... Got her an American Girl Doll (she chipped in paying for it), and I've got 2 dd's 6 and 5 years old. Both have too much stuff -too many barbies, too many dolls, too much cr@p. And it's not like we buy them a ton of stuff. They just don't get rid of it. And then the neighbor girl cleans out her room and instead of taking all her dolls and stuffed animals to Goodwill like any normal, sane good neighbor does, she brings boxes of it to us! So, if any of you are interested, let me know. I will be happy to pay you back with lunch and margaritas at Chevy's Fresh Mex Restaurant. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Jo really enjoyed it. It is recommended for grade 7 and up, but I think it is very approachable and would have been good for 6th. For you, it's a bit young, but it might be worth looking for a cheap, Used Teacher's Edition as an easy read-and-then-keep. We're going to pivot a bit and do Philosophy for Kids next semester. Jo wants to do Discovery of Deduction, but next year is a bit up in the air. I've heard bad things about Discovery of Deduction. Fortunately by the time we want to use it it will be all fixed. ;) I've heard AoA is fun and simple and DoD is boring and too hard. I've heard Traditional Logic is mind blowingly dry. I need to read How To Read A Book. I'm not sure what else. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 I am making sugar cookies with my questionable homemade vanilla. I will report back if I survive. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
