Critterfixer Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 After I get done petting the lonely cat. Which might take a while. She's nested in the lap, and I haven't got the heart to move her yet. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanalouwho Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 There's thunder and rain. The Beatles are singing O Bla Di. Half of my house is spotless. The other half....not so much. Captain Mal built the batcave out of MUS blocks and our power just flickered. Sent from my HTCD160LVW using Tapatalk 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I think that we are going to play hooky from school today. Or at least most of school today. We'll do one day of school next week on our week off to make up for it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I might school year around so I can keep doing that. I was always a stickler for ridged schedules, but I like our school to be fluid. I never saw that coming. I suppose it's because my kids are fluid. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I cleaned the master bathroom and started on my bedroom. Then the dumb dog (as opposed to my other, smarter dogs) decided to poop in Captain Mal's room. So I cleaned that up and shampooed his carpet. Now for a break, then I will finish my room. It's a bippity-boppity Booya! Oh. I thought it was a Poo-ya. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Dd13 has finished her NaNoWriMo writing, and plans to spend the next week typing it in. I offered my typing services, but she will have to dictate to me because her handwriting is indecipherable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 The more she types, the better she will get at composing in front of a computer. It took me some time, but I do pretty well with the writing and typing thing now. I'm still more poetic with the pencil and notepad, but I think I do a pretty good job without those things now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junie Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 I made homemade peanut noodles for dinner. (I'd post the recipe, but it wasn't very good. It needs some tweaking. If/when I get it right, then I'll post.) Anyway, dd6 was fascinated with the idea of "homemade". I've made peanut noodles before, but always from a kit. She asked about the ingredients. I told her that the first ingredient was rice noodles. dd6: (Wide eyed): Did you make them? me: No, I bought them at the store. dd6: Then it isn't homemade. me: I don't have a rice paddy in the back yard. Of course I had to buy them at the store. dd6: But it's not homemade. I gave up. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 (edited) I am amazing. Dead, but amazing. Dd is even more amazing but she's healthy so I get more Brownie points. After we organized the kitchen cabinet (with three shelves no less), I went to the chiro and got put back together Then we did errands, including taking some stuff to Goodwill. Then the amazing part. We came home and we rearranged the furniture in the living room. And we cleaned. I mean really cleaned. Dd washed the picture window. And I cleaned the furnace vent and put in new vent filters. And we reorganized the science stuff that of course we keep on the living room bookcase because doesn't everyone have a preserved dead fetal pig on their bookcase? And we moved the furniture around and vacuumed all under everything. And took some stuff down to the Schoolroom of Doom where it will languish forever in torment. And then I vacuumed the hallway. And dd reorganized the pet closet. And then she vacuumed the stairs for me. Now I'm heating up my peanut noodles from last night (what a coincidence - Junie!). I'm happy. But dead. It probably will take me a week to recover. But maybe not. A High Self Esteem (designed to pick me up from being prostrate on the floor from exhaustion) Booyah!

I used rice noodles (from the store but I boiled them) instead of the soba noodles. And I added peanut butter, which it didn't call for but tasted good with it anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
