Have to leave for Gig #1 in an hour. Dh is taking everyone else to Pumpkinfest. We live close enough to walk downtown, which is probably preferable to trying to find parking along with 65,000 other people as long as the kids don't mind walking in their costumes.

Wheres Toto Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Happy Saturday. I"m getting ready to head over to my science center with dh to do some cleaning and repair jobs. I did a black light workshop yesterday and didn't do any cleaning up except unplugging the lights since I was already tired after a long day. Tonight we are going out to dinner for our anniversary, which was actually yesterday. I teach 3 classes a day most day, dd is at the classroom with me 3-4 days a week, ds is there 2-3 days a week. They've both actually made some good friends since we've started, ds has actually sat down and played board games without getting upset or walking away. But, I keep seeing homeschool activities posted on Facebook that I think we'd like to do but can't because I'm teaching, but then I remind myself the kids probably wouldn't care about going because they prefer staying home or in familiar spaces, but maybe if I pushed them enough they would get more social, even though it hasn't happened in all this time. They both have a selection of regular social activities they do that they are happy, comfortable and eager to go to, so I kind of think that should be enough? Especially if they don't want more? <<sigh>> It seems like no matter what we do, second guessing is a part of it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my most vivid childhood memories is every Saturday afternoon my dad would mow the lawn and listen to Vin Scully call the game on the radio and we would run through the sprinklers when he was done mowing. It did get chilly last night. They ended up passing out jackets to the umpires. They were talking the umpires. You don’t really think about them, but they had to be standing in place and paying attention for 7 1/2 hours straight. They don’t get breaks. I wonder what happens if they have to pee. They had to take some sort of break for that, I guess. Edited October 27, 2018 by KrissiK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently a lot of neighborhood kids come, so it should be fun...except for the part where it’s 100% chance of rain.

Junie Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 We stopped doing birthday parties when we moved 20 minutes out of town. No one wants to drive that far. We had a Sweet 16 for dd16 and no one came. ? We're going to try again in a few weeks (I hope.) I am willing to do one party for each of the girls when they turn 16 and then we'll be done. So one party every other year for the next 10 years. I was going to have a party for ds18's 18th birthday, but he didn't want a party. I took him to a Nats game instead. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it when girls play quietly. I had my first lesson in "girls play quietly" when they were about 3 and 4 years old. I was used to panicking when the house got quiet and so, one day I knew the boys were outside, but the girls were inside and I didn't hear them. So, of course, I panicked and ran into their room and they were both laying on their beds, under a blanket with all their dolls and stuffed animals. I rushed in and they looked at me like I was crazy. I asked them what they were doing and they said, "We're playing Night-night, Mommy!" ? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lots of little ducklings Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Hi! Kids are out with dh and I am using the Nor'easter today as an excuse for laziness. ? I did not stay up until 3:30. I did, however, provide coffee and breakfast for my bff who is a HUGE Sox fan. She was appreciative. Meanwhile, dh fixed our broken washing machine with a new (used) $70 motor. I'd be singing his praises for saving us $500 dollars, except that now I have no excuse for keeping everyone in pj's all week and not doing laundry. Also, I'm suffering from allergy-induced zombiedom. Sorry I couldn't make it to Texas, Ellie. It's raining. I don't go out when it's raining.

We haven't been to the aquarium and it's free this month with our zoo pass so we have to go.
