KrissiK Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Good morning! I am not caught up with ITT. I need another cup of coffee. And we have a cute stray kittenish type cat in the backyard who already has a name and has made itself at home in the backyard and in dd's heart and I just don't want to deal with this. We do NOT need another cat. We really don't. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professormom Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Good morning! I am not caught up with ITT. I need another cup of coffee. And we have a cute stray kittenish type cat in the backyard who already has a name and has made itself at home in the backyard and in dd's heart and I just don't want to deal with this. We do NOT need another cat. We really don't. I do, lol. But we can't:-( I am sorry. Saying no to kittenish cuteness is incredibly difficult. I think it is some kind of evolutionary advantage to the development of cats :lol: Dh just went to get some coffee. We just split the business last week. He was partners with close family and we had to divide everything now because of tax consequences if partners die. No angst among the partners, which is nice. They have actually structured their separate companies so that their day to day is still pretty similar and they still get to spend time together :hurray: It does mean Dh is working in our home office more. Which is very distracting for the kids... And him. They suck him in lol. But it is nice that he can go buy me coffee. I feel a headache coming on so the caffeine will probably help. Math update. We are in ratios and proportion. I hate ratios and proportion. I overthink the problems. Who knows, though, maybe after this I will LOVE ratios and proportion :D Laundry is in. Dishes are done. Kids have been sent to take care of neighbor's dog. House is quiet. Ahhh. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 (edited) I'm halfway through the school day. I think the boys are finally getting gerunds in time to move to infinitives. Whereupon the place carved out for gerunds will be occupied by infinitives and we'll have to learn it all again next year. Oh, well. I'm taking next week off from school. I planned for it. I'm worn out and it's time to take a break. I might get some planning done. I will probably get some good writing done. I am certain to spend valuable time simply doing nothing. :laugh: ETA: I've been reacquainting myself with Algebra with the Key to Algebra series. I'm fifteen pages out from being done and then I'm moving on to the Geometry Series. I'd like to find something similar to refresh my memory of Calculus. I loved Cal 1 and 2 in college, but I just don't use it in life and so much of it has drained away into the abyss that is my brain. Anybody got suggestions for a reasonably priced option for Calculus review for me? I really can't spend much more than 30 to 45 minutes a day on my own math education, five days a week. Suggestions? ETA again: Can't do online options, watch videos or anything like that. No time and no connection speed to support.

Openhearted Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I have bronchitis and a sinus infection. I got 2 shots, and I am already feeling better. Thanks for all the get well wishes. Oh, I started reading When Books Went to War by Molly Guptill Manning. I have had it on my wishlist for a while, but I found it at the library Saturday. It is very interesting. I did not realize Hitler ordered the banning and burning of 100 million books to manipulate the German culture to his ideas and philosophy. Very sneaky. But I suppose brainwashing would be a sneaky business. Then American librarians started a campaign to send free books to our troops. These books were treasured and cherished. One soldier wrote, "To heave one in the garbage can is tantamount to striking your grandmother." I believe it is going to be a good book. I've also started Outlander book 5, The Fiery Cross. So far I'm not as interested, but it seems like the others in the series were slow to grab my attention except the first one. I'm so glad I'm feeling a bit better. Maybe I will make it through Sunday without maiming anyone. ;) 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southern Ivy Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 (edited) Those silks might sneak in as a Christmas present this next year - or her bday in April. Can't decide. Speaking of birthdays, I need some help deciding something. DD's bday is in April. Due to family dynamics, we will be having 2 separate family birthdays (one with my parents/sister and one with my in-laws). My issue is friend party or no friend party. I really don't want to throw a party at my house and get everything together. That's during a busy time at school, so I won't have much free time to prepare. I considered doing a friend party at the Y. They do the decorating, the cake, and you can get a bounce house. My only issue is that it's $150 and I don't have any guarantee that school friends will come. I don't want to end up paying that much money for dd and one friend to jump on a bounce house. I also considered seeing if I could take one family friend to Build-a-Bear and we would do bears for DD and 1 friend. (DH isn't thrilled with this and says that will cost almost as much as the Y.) Or, do I just nix the friend party all together since she doesn't have that many little friends in our town currently? What would do? ETA: I think I get caught up in "Pinterest perfect", especially since dd's little friend is always having these elaborate parties that her mom and gma put together.

But, then I second guess myself and think that I'm doing her a disservice. I remember having little to no birthday parties when I was growing up and all my friends having huge parties. Looking back, I do think my mom probably asked, but I was so shy that I said I didn't want any. I also realize now that my friends were extreme extroverts, but at the time, I just felt like no one wanted to be at my parties. (Also didn't help that they were in the middle of summer and everyone was on vacation.) HOWEVER...I also remember my best birthdays being where just a few of us when on special day trips. Ok.
