We are weeks past deadline. And there has been much complaining this morning. Ds14 is also way behind in his research paper. I just now gave him a short lecture on the need to spend more than 7-1/2 minutes per day on it if he expects to finish before starting 9th grade. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a video on Amazon Prime. “Yoga for the Inflexible”. I love it because it truly is for beginners. Some of the ones I tried are long (an hour) and hard. This one is great. Each video is 15 minutes long, sometimes I do two. And they are very simple poses. But they are effective. I have noticed a definite difference in my strength and balance since I started a month ago.

How do you get the smell of urine out of fabric? I put fresh sheets on his bed today and they smelled like urine when they went on. Everything that's clean smells like urine.

Wheres Toto Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 (edited) I just finished watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I watched it when it was first run on tv, but season 7 was right in the middle of my divorce so I didn't remember a lot of the details. It was a good ending. Dh is at his parents for the weekend. I have to do lots of cleaning both at home and the classroom. Always full of fun! I also have to run to Michaels for some more photo boxes to organize at the science center and beads to try AGAIN to fix a bracelet dh bought dd at the Museum of Natural History. And Dollar Tree for the fun notebooks mentioned in another thread. ETA: A Buffy booya! Edited May 11, 2019 by Where's Toto? 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gift cards are useless since she never really goes out. Those succulent gardens were so cute, maybe something like that would work. Mom likes plants. Other than that she sews, reads on her tablet and that's about it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea you could get stamps by mail. FIL's email mentioned how excited he is that he can drive now because he was actually able to get into his car AND move his foot from the gas pedal to the brake pedal. I have to leave with the kids in a little while for the children's choir concert in The Big City. I'm helping at a welcome desk and the kids have rehearsals so we have to be there this morning even though the concert doesn't start until 3:30. I need to remember to bring a water bottle. Coffee!
