Wheres Toto Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 ((Jean)) Bunnies can sometimes be delicate. They'll hide it when they aren't feeling 100%. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I cancelled my camp for today. One person had "signed up" her two kids (I put in quotes because she didn't send the form or pay) for the whole week. Then said she'd do two days, then when I asked her if she was planning to register sent a form (but no payment) for just one day. Then yesterday she said only one of the kids was coming. The other person I had a discussion with about doing one day a week for all the camps but didn't confirm or register so I wasn't sure if they were planning to come or not. So I cancelled. Not worth doing this one for just one kid. My next camp is the week after next (away on vacation next week) and I have quite a few registered so that one will be fun. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is not a mark on her and she showed absolutely no signs of illness earlier today so we don't know what happened. Rusty is his usual self so we don't think that it was environmental.

Ds13 is my dish-do-er, he is at camp all week as well. After many failed chore systems I took someone's advice to put each of the older kids in charge of just one thing. Dd15 has laundry duty, ds13 has dishes, and dd11 has toddler/preschooler duty (as needed, not all day!) It is actually working fairly well. Ds13 is inconsistent with dishes but getting him to do any chores at all in the past has been nearly impossible so I'm happy for whatever he does do. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Good Morning!!!! COFFEE!!!!!~D Humph Day!!! I think. I am so confused as to what day it is. Got up early and went with DH to take the car to the repair shop. He dropped me off at home and then went to his dentist appt. and then off to work. I hope they can fix it easily and quickly. And dare I say, “cheaply”? DS is going to the mountains with his friend and friend’s family today, so it’s just the girls and I. I’m so sorry about Cinnamon, Jeannie.😢 Our best cat Snowflake died unexplainably several years ago. Our best guess is that she had some sort of seizure, 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically off work, but have a conference call this morning and I have some invoices to work on. I want to do so much today and have the motivation, but DC are sleeping in. They need it since we have been non-stop for weeks. So I guess I will just cool my jets. We will need to go to the Post office later, and ds12 has been begging to go to the library. Since they're next door to each other, I guess we will do that. Now, what to make for supper. I'm thinking tacos. Our post office and library are next door to each other, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Took care of Cinnamon's body. That was difficult. Not only was her death totally unexpected, she was barely 1 year old so not a geriatric pet who had had a long and happy life. Though her short life was happy, I think. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When someone's description in italics it usually indicates drama. Drama usually makes me cry. I should make a list of all of the movies that made me cry. It would be a long list. #1 on the list would be Mrs. Doubtfire. I cried during that movie. In a theater. On a first date. :svengo: (There wasn't a second date.

Skippy Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 It is so nice to be in this stage of homeschooling: My husband stopped off at our PO Box. On the way home, I browsed through the entire CBD Homeschool catalog. There wasn't anything that caught my eye or interested me in the least in supplementing or changing my plans for the next school year. And a commercial can make me cry if I am in the right mood, so there are too many movies to count that make me cry. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
