Familia Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Is there a tutorial on how to do this thread?

While I try to figure it out (I'm an overthinker), I hope that reading along and rooting everyone on is enough.

KrissiK Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Good Morning!!!! COFFEE!!!~D Saturday!!! we all slept in this morning!!! Felt soooooo good. It has rained a tad bit. At least enough to get things wet, which is a welcome change. Maybe it will clear the air. Housework today. I need to go to the Afsa, which I am not looking forward to, but the grocery store I’ve been going to does not carry McDonald’s COFFEE!!~D and I am out. And DD needs a black shirt to go under her flannel for Sadie Hawkins and I have been spending so much $$ on clothes for the girls lately, I said, “Fine, I will get you a black shirt, but it has to come from the Afsa.” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just join in the conversation. We’re just a bunch of online girlfriends chit-chatting about life stuff. Nothing serious, think a bunch of neighbor ladies in the 1970’s having coffee break. There are a few inside jokes and phrases you will pick up on. The Afsa is The Walmart. The Island is not real, but it’s our happy place and we make up staff members as we go. I made up Rocco, the handsome cabana boy who wears khaki shorts and a white polo and makes sure everything is running smoothly. “Nirthday” and “felpful” and typos that stuck. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 4 minutes ago, Servant4Christ said: Afsa= a fortress of stress and anxiety? Something like that. Yes, because going to Walmart sucks. I decided to put setting up school for the kids FIRST on my to-do list for the weekend instead of LAST. So that's done. I'm on a break for lunch, then I'll work on planning classes. I actually only need to do 2 weeks because then we are off for Thanksgiving week. I'm also doing laundry. It's amazing how much less there is now that the kids do their own, especially ds. He's just about the only one in the house who changes clothes multiple times a day, every day, even if he hasn't left the house or even his room. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to keep moving! Yesterday our favorite radio station “Soft Rock 98.9”🎶🎵 flipped the switch on Christmas music (we even watched it on tv) and now it’s Christmas music 24/7 until Christmas. TBH, I end up getting a little sick of it By about December 20, but oh well. It’s fun.

Susan in TN Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Dh's record player shelf came this morning. I was being a little fussy about it's positioning, but I think dh has got it set up OK now. I took the Two Youngest to the library, the dollar store, and The Lobby of Hobby and now I have about an hour before puppy training class. The girls complain about the Christmas Overload in stores, but I explained to them that some people really want to plan ahead and get Stuff ready before Thanksgiving so there is not quite the scramble during the holidays. I am getting stuff ready for Advent which starts the Sunday after Thanksgiving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Familia Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Pickup has worked great for me, but I always end up going into to store anyway. They said they were out of salami. How can you be out of salami?!? My order was picked at night d/t 8am pickup, so maybe they have no way to get a deli item...that.is.just.weird! Making salami roll ups for the first time ever. Just for us. I've been served them at showers for many many decades. After all these years, and all I have learned to cook, I am devolving into salami rollup territory ha! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Why oh why do I take my girls with me to the Afsa?? Well I sort of know why today, because I wanted them to be involved in the Samaritan’s Purse Christmas Boxes. But then we went down the Christmas aisle and that ended up being too much fun and Baby just has a way of getting me to buy her things. I swear, I am a push-over as a Mom. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Ugh. Dd14 says she feels like she is coming down with pneumonia. She's not had it for 3 whole years! Our favorite walk-in clinic has a radiology department, so we always go there so she can be xrayed. Maybe it's The Plague. She's been taking various OTC medicines and Clear Lungs to ward it off. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikslo Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 (edited) You know how some people complain about dogs being let out to bark early in the morning? That’s how I feel about our neighbor’s two whiny girls. Every morning. Make them stop. ETA: I don’t mind the sound of them playing or talking, but one in particular throws temper tantrums for every little thing and they both whine a lot. It gets old after awhile. DH says he hears the mom tell her to stop. I don’t. I just hear the girl. Edited November 8, 2020 by ikslo 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Morning. Heading over to the science center for dh to clean out tanks and to move some stuff around since we rearranged for more distancing in class. Then it's work on classes for the coming week. I have outlines but new session means more need refining again. I will banish the goat at some point. It seriously needs to be banished. Didn't meet dd to work out today.

Dr. heard crackling but couldn't see anything on the xray. She will send that to the Big Hospital for a double check and prescribed a zpack because of the crackling sound. She said we can start on it now or wait a day or two to see how things develop. Also had a covid test just in case. Coffee! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Juliet’s second agility class: we took it easy compared to others who were pushing their dogs way too fast. The instructor was frustrated with them- especially the couple who insisted that their dog go on the highest balance beam (dog walk) and let the poor dog fall four feet to the ground. Juliet practiced the lower dog walk and did quite well. She also practiced the A-frame, jumps and table which she learned last time. New obstacles were the tunnel and weave poles. She was scared by the tunnel , which surprised me since she does the little tunnel at the park. My neighbor helped us with that one. She held Juliet’s leash while I went to the other end. After a couple of times she started to get comfortable with it. I was surprised on the other end with the weave poles which was surprisingly easy to teach her- as long as I had a treat, that is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Morning. Happy Monday. It's going to be my usual - three classes, one with 2 students, one done remotely, and one "normal". Mostly teenagers. Monday's are my easy days and I am SOOOOO glad. Easy students anyway, not necessarily easy classes (Algebra 2, Computer Science, and Environmental Science). I slept like crap again. I think I need to lay off the cookies. Something in these particular ones are affecting me adversely (chocolate covered mint oreos). Last night I only had 2 and it still happened. Not working out again with dd until Wednesday. We decided on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday so I can work with other dd in the mornings on Tuesday and Thursday. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
