I'd go with cold meals as much as possible, at least for breakfast and lunches, and maybe see how many people can bring crockpots to prepare dinner. Pastries, cereal and milk, yogurt, fruit, bagels for breakfast, sandwiches (maybe build your own so just provide bread, meats, cheeses, and condiments). 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Morning. I think it's Tuesday. Slept in a little bit again. I did quite a bit of organizing in my storage room yesterday. I can now walk around easier. I still need to do some unpacking and sorting but it's not the disaster it was and I have a bit of a plan at least. I'll head over there after lunch to do some more work. Before lunch is laundry and some work on school planning. I'm trying to decide if I want to get the kids planners, but sit down with them each Monday morning to fill them in together or stick with our current plan. I keep trying new plans (currently we are using a kanban board type thing) to see if I can find something that is less work for ME, but two kids with adhd makes it hard (I'm pretty sure I have adhd myself just more years of, sort of, adapting). I'm off most mornings this Fall so it will make things a little bit easier (I hope). One day this week I need to clean dd's room. It's an absolute disaster. I also still need to deep clean my classrooms before camp next week. So, my to-do list: Laundry Finish organizing storage space Clean classrooms Clean dd's room Plan classes Plan school Some other house cleaning 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Servant4Christ Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 (edited) Morning all! I need to clean out a bunch of stuff in the schoolroom. Nothing major, more like reorganizing than cleaning out. I wanted to order an intermediate dictionary and thesaurus for Oldest this year but the one I think we'll like best is on backorder. Lovely. Yep, that's sarcasm from Servie this morning. Sorry. I miss coffee. Edited August 17, 2021 by Servant4Christ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Yesterday I woke up to a huge headache (the camp meals all of a sudden in my lap). This morning I woke up to a huge answer to prayer. Someone has offered to do a dinner cookout for us at camp. A friend of a friend, so I don't even know them! So dinner will be hamburgers and some Costco sides. I just put in a huge order at Subway for lunch. Someone else has offered to pick it up on the day and deliver it to camp for us. This frees me up to actually attend to my duties at camp. 4 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Warning! Edpo! I have done extremely little school planning due to our current insanities, but have rectified that over the past few weeks. We have essentially done school constantly for 7 years because John required hard core consistency and struggled greatly with any break that was longer than 2 days, but lately he's been enjoying and taking advantage of breaks so I've made a proposal and we're going with it. Three 13 week trimesters with month long breaks in between. This is long enough for him to do major projects but short enough that we don't go insane. Each break is to include traveling (including in San Antonio, just getting out and seeing new things) housework, and designated time for real rest. I've realized I didn't know what to do with Alex because he hasn't presented certain goals, and that's how I've structured school for the other two. John is a natural writer so we focused on that, and the same with Mary and art, but Alex isn't geared towards an academic subject so I didn't know how to structure his school. After realizing that, and realizing we don't need a goal (he's going into kindergarten) I put Phonics Pathways on hold at the library, and bought Singapore Early Bird and D'Nealian handwriting and I'm calling it good. I might need to change my siggy. I can't see it right now. And I need to create a spreadsheet to make sure nothing's too heavy. End of edpo. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Morning. I go back to the orthopedic about my elbows today. I haven't had any pain in a long time. Partially I think because of the cortisone shot, partially because I bought a lapdesk with a wrist rest for my computer. I'm also being careful when I do yoga to not put strain on them. After doctor, I think I'm running to the AFSA, then I may come home and do laundry, or go clean the classrooms. Laundry is probably more important at this point. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 I was thinking about this the other day--how I'm struggling to feel anything but anger and sadness lately. I think it's that there is so, so much, and for whatever reason, I think I've tried to train myself to be strong for everybody, and that's not working now because I am literally stuffed full of un-processed emotions like a closet that hasn't been cleaned out for years. In this case, two years at least. So I second letting it out. I cried about Susan's DH, too. And it helped. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
