Renai Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 I can't find the spiral notebook in which I painstakingly wrote out all the information I needed for the children's high school educations. :huh: Oh dear.

Renai Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Croup is no fun. I hope she feels better soon. You need to rest to, so you don't get sick. We used to do the small gifts in bigger boxes a lot when we were younger. We wrapped a package of batteries like that for my dad. I think he had boxes to unwrap by the time we were done. I decided to waste a whole of gift wrap on this gift. It's a couple of pieces of jewelry, so I wrapped the jewelry, put it back in the envelope it came in and wrapped the envelope. Stuck the envelope in a small box and wrapped it. Did this a couple more times. I don't remember. I lost count. Now, she has a gift as large as the one my mom sent Gymnast. :D 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swellmomma Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 This portfolio is so stupid. Basically I did the whole practicum complete with the same paper work the actual practicum students did. the only difference was I did not have a supervising teacher and I paid $97 less than the other students. It is nearly done. Only 10 activity plans left to go. Those are annoying but basically easy. I liked it better when I got to argue discuss educational methodology and philosophy. I got 100% in that course. It was being on the hive for the old discussions, only this time I was the smartest one on the conversation rather than feeling like the stupidest like I did on the hive. I miss those old days, I felt stupid and inadequate but I learned so much, apparently enough to get 100% on the course focused on the historical background of early childhood education and educational methodology. (we spoke at length about montessori, reggio, waldorf etc- since the focus was on preschools). This portfolio is just boring me to tears. But it must be finished. I hate cleaning and all I want to do is ditch the paper work and clean. THat is how much it is annoying me. Maybe the lack of coffee for the last 2 days has something to do with that. Time to brew a cup and see if it helps. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texasmama Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Okay, I did a thorough vacuum, dusted the coffee table, moved it back, put the stuff back on it, and went through some homeschool stuff and found stuff to give to a friend. All laundry is washed, dried, hung or put in its place to be put up. I'm kind of proud of myself. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to church and stopped by target solely to discover that they're out of magnatiles after looking for them for almost 20 minutes. I went back and forth between isle f3 and a worker twice before he was willing to walk with me just so that he could inform me that magna off brand is the same thing. It's not. He said they would connect with our magnatiles. They won't. I bought Resses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Here, y'all can help me. I'm having a very, very bad case of Christmas humbugs. Christmas is not a holiday I really enjoy, and not for any particular reason, other than the increased traffic in town and the stress that seems to just hover around everyone I see. I'm planning on avoiding town all of next week (except tomorrow, because I simply must get to the library before the holidays). I'm so humbugged that I can't even summon the energy needed to go get my decorations from the garage to do up the fireplace. We are not having a tree this year.

swellmomma Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 I needed an ice cream break. Yes it is freezing outside, winter weather has truly hit my part of the world. But I needed ice cream and french vanilla coffee creamer. So dd16 and I just drove over to the convenience store. I got an ice cream for me, chips for all the kids, creamer for me, chips for me, bounty bars for me and a lotto scratch ticket (have not bought one of those in a long time). That's what happens when I have to go and get snack foods while stressed, I over indulge. On the plus side, the ice cream was yummy and the chips I got had ringalos in it and they make a satisfying crunch when I bite them which is helping lower my stress. Time to get back to writing the portfolio (serves me right to be stressed, I had a month to do the damn thing, but I have been a bit busy and kept putting it off).Also I ordered a new printer. Old faithful here lasted for 10 years but is now dead. Amazon prime says I will have the new one before xmas...I think it is lying 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't do xmas here so it always seems like too much hassle to decorate. But we will put this stupid tree up either tonight or tomorrow and I will take it down boxing day. *here meaning in my house, we go to my folks for xmas haha, realized it sounded like we don't celebrate at all, we do, just not at home haha Edited December 20, 2015 by swellmomma 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When ds17 was a baby he had this battery operated bear that when you pushed the tummy it said "can you and I be friends ha ha ha" next time you pushed it a heartbeat sound came out. It was really cute. Until it wasn't. One night at like 3 am I hear this deep demonic voice slowly saying "can you and I be friend HA HA HA" (the cute way the hahaha was like a giggle, the deep way was slow with pauses so it sounded evil). Then the heart beat sound then back to asking to be friends. It took a few minutes to find it under the sofa. We got the batteries out of it and then I tossed it in the condo dumpster just to be sure. Freaked the heck out of us. I still can hear it clear as day in my memory, that deep voice waking me up from sleep asking if we could be friend. Oh hell no, we can most certainly NOT be friends. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
