prairiewindmomma Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 We saw the moon shortly after rise, near midpoint, and close to setting over two days. I know it's at apogee, but it still didn't seem super super, iykwim. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Does anyone have Jean's number? I'm going to start calling her for motherly advice when the baby wakes up in the middle of the night. Speaking of Babiness, his new thing is trying to crawl, giving up and headbanging heavy metal style. It's hilarious. I never got my Apologia order in (Astronomy) because I couldn't get the sale price and they say they can't honor it even though I emailed them during the sale to inquire. :glare: I wound up taking another look at The Big Book of Earth and Sky and I think we're getting that and The Big Book of History instead of A Child's First Book of American History. They're both more for his age group and I think he'll like them more. I'm getting them tomorrow so I can think it over tonight. Maybe I'll call Jean and talk to her about it. Don't you love how it takes me 3 months to place a Rainbow Resource order? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been wearing my coat all day because it is chilly and the heating and air guy won't be here until tomorrow. Also, my room is now clean, relatively speaking.

Another Lynn Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I just remembered what I wanted to tell you all. We were doing schoolwork last night, and I read a sentence that had the word mutton in it. So I paused and asked, "Do you know what mutton is?" And DS thought for a minute, the said, "Oh, oh, I know this...[thinks]...SHEEP MEAT!" I said, "Yep!" He then says, "Yeah, I learned that from Minecraft." :laugh: :laugh: Similarly, 14yo ds was reading his biology chapter about genetics and said he already knew all of it because of watching Film Theory and Game Theory You Tube videos because they use a lot of genetics in their explanations. :D 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southern Ivy Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Sis is doing good. Crashed on the couch (because she can't crawl up into her bed yet) and watching Netflix and sleeping. The kid are happy to have her home, but the baby is still a bit confused about why mommy isn't picking her up. Today is the last day of speech!! Woohoo!! It's party day with Ms. Kelsey. We leave in 30 minutes.Also, just to whine...I ordered a cute Thanksgiving outfit from a site that friends have ordered from. I see their page on Facebook all the time. My items should have been here 2-3 weeks ago. She says they were delayed by their distributor and that it should be here before Thanksgiving. I told her I needed it by next Tuesday or I need a refund. NOT a happy camper right now, and I have a sneaky feeling that it will come on Wednesday and since that's "before Thanksgiving" the chick won't give me a refund. I wanted her to be able to wear the outfit a few times before Thanksgiving, so I could get my money's worth. But, it's looking like I just paid stupid tax by going with this company. At least it was only $20 and not more! Still frustrating. Oh, and I'm starting my at-home job tomorrow. Wahoo!! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Horrible morning. Better now. Got my period early. I thought I gave birth to Rosemary's baby. Headache, still sick and unhappy because I've looked like I gained 20 pounds. Well, apparently that was just bloat and I'm back to my normal size. Headache gone (food, it's a thing), and now I'm in bed. Alex joined us for school which was great because it gave Mary something to do. Normally she wants to do school, but she's not there yet and while she's adorable it's obnoxious.

Mutton means the meat of a more mature sheep, which is of course tougher, and not as popular. Question: what is the reason that Americans don't seem to eat lamb? Is there some objection to it, or is it more just that people have a beef obsession? I started crying at the gym today in front of my trainer.
