Renai Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I can't find our file with all our identification information in it - birth certificates, social security cards, copies, etc.... The last time I had it was in court sometime in October. I realized it was missing in November before the next court date. If you were that file, where would you be? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 (edited) Good morning. I had nightsweats that probably registered on a Geiger counter or something last night. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk My hot flashes were so bad and continuous I could have baked a loaf of bread last night.

Susan in TN Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Wow! That's a thing of beauty! Do you happen to have one for Vol 2? 😉 Seriously, though, did you just keep track of what you did for the next time around, or did you come up with that before you did it? We just winged Vol 1 last year, which was fine, but I want to be a bit more purposeful going forward. I'm trying to decide if planning out the whole thing in advance is worth the time investment, or just a handy excuse to indulge my love of planning (at the expense if whatever else I should've been doing during that time). Well, this was my 4th time through ancient history, so in the summer I just browsed the books we have and looked over various reading lists and checked what is available at the library and made an Excel chart. (I love making charts! :D ) In Vol. 2-4 I think I just wrote the books down in the table of contents. I can check if I did that for vol. 2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look for what's in TWTM/SOTW AG before reading SOTW so I have some books ready and as I read SOTW I make notes as I read as to what interests him, then search the library. This can have him reading about two rather different time periods at one time (we waited like 2 months for Cat Mummies) but I don't care. He likes history and is learning tons so I figure I win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Guys, I'm having a rough day. DH's endoscopy went well, and that's good. But we got back and MIL's dog was chasing the ducks on the frozen pond last night and fell in. I just spent the last hour up to my waist in icy water trying to chop a path to get his body out of the pond, but I can't swing the splitting maul if the water is much higher than my waist. The danged ice is still about two inches thick where I had to leave off. I'll try to get out further tomorrow--we are supposed to get into the lower forties and I might make more headway. My dog-loving boy is devastated. He loved that dog. :crying: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 (edited) EdPo: Trigger Warning! Copy that. Stat!! Forthwith. So, I am sitting down and starting to plot out the rest of the school year. DS’s and DD’s history are fine. If only Susan could get on it right away and pound out SOTW:Middle Ages like the Ancients, then I’d be all set for history for my little girls, too. Science - I think we’ll just keep moseying our way through Apologia Land Animals like we have been doing. We’re sadly behind in Grammar with all the kids. And Bible Curriculum.... I need suggestions. Oldest DD and DS will finish God’s Great Covenant NT from CAP at the end of this year. It’s the last book in the series. We have loved it. It’s taken about 6 years to get through all 4 books. But I will need to start thinking about next year. We really need something structured and work-bookie. I was looking at Bob Jones’ Bible curriculum. I like the format, but I don’t think I agree with them theologically (we’re Reformed, Presbyterian at heart).

Jean in Newcastle Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I just spent an hour ordering from Home Science Tools. I made a list of everything I needed for half of the year (we got started late), found everything on the HST website, researched a couple of specialty items on other sites because I was told that it might be cheaper (it wasn't), typed in the order, tried to order when my computer crashed. Got the computer working, tried to make the order again and there was a glitch where HST sent me 7 or 8 password changes all in a row. Got that all sorted out, and made the order. Then I realized that in the midst of all the chaos, I hadn't applied my discount! So I called them an a very very nice customer service lady said that she would make it all better for me. Phew! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
