Junie Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Good Morning! I'm feeling some better today. Only this morning instead of feeling like I was run over on the street, I woke up from a nasty dream. So an improvement. ;) Lynn, hugs to you even though you said you didn't want them. Nine days is do-able. I would make a huge to-do list. Cross out anything that isn't truly important, delegate a lot, and take care of a few things each day. Hoping that you all have a wonderful day!

AMJ Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 The storm front has mostly passed through our area, though lots of slow rain lingers. We fared well here, though parts to the south of us got tornadoes and/or hail. I do hope everyone is okay, no one seriously hurt. The air is a lot cooler than before the storm front, but the "drier air" hasn't had a chance yet -- I guess after the rain finally ends, though the draining and standing water will replace some humidity into the air. Our driveway lake is back because detritus covered over the drain, but the water is subsiding and we aren't expecting anyone here to our front door, so instead of wading out to clear the drain cover I'm just letting it drain itself. This morning as part of class time I read aloud the first chapter to Rabbit Hill, a favorite old book. The weather and allergies are stultifying brains here, so that was the easier way of covering DD12's reading for the day, and carries the bonus of sucking DD15 into the story, too. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanalouwho Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 We were under tornado watch this morning, and the lightning was almost touching down in my yard. But the storm has passed us as well, with no major damage. Sent from my HTCD160LVW using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I started reading The Last Unicorn last night. It was recommended by Critterfixer. I think that this book would be superb as an audiobook or a read-aloud. CF, I think that I'm going to come visit you for a week. You can make gluten-free goodies and read The Last Unicorn to me. Let me know when it would be convenient for you. Thanks! ;) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikslo Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 We started reading a book about PA history last night, and the conversation morphed, as any good homeschool conversation does. Suddenly we were talking about the size of the universe and different theories about the expansion of the universe and worm holes and infinity and even Sponge Bob :lol: . That was me. :smilielol5: A few different times kiddo was jumping up and down about something WOW that just occurred to him. I puffy heart ♥ homeschooling. Remind me of this when I say I want to put him in PS, okay? 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Lynn Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Thanks again for all the well wishes. I puffy heart love the ITT. Critter, I liked your advice a lot and will think about how that applies to me. I think I've been doing this and maybe didn't know it, but now need to do it more deliberately. So we've been to piano lesson and back, gotten a good bit of school completed. I have to take one to his volunteer chess job at a nearby school. And then after supper a different one has a basketball game. Three separate trips to town. But I do have chicken in the crock pot and I did get two loads of laundry through on the quick cycle and I did run the dishwasher. Mom is grabbing a couple things at the grocery for me this afternoon. And I'm drinking decaf (which is the strongest coffee I can handle in the afternoon. :lol: ) 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Oooh. I was able to look at the menu and order from the truck online!

Susan in TN Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 We are off to music lessons and orchestra class in a few minutes but I wanted to stop by and ketchup and say 💗💗💗💗Happy Valentine's Day ITT!💗💗💗💗 Ds21 stopped by unexpectedly earlier - he said he was in the area and sheepishly asked if it was OK if he made himself a sandwich for lunch before heading back to the university. As if - he could hardly peel the Youngers off himself. So he ate a sandwich and we chatted and the Youngers made him Valentines and shoved chocolates and stickers in his coat pockets. 💞 Critter, we seem to have about the same weather today - 40 degrees and drizzly. Blah. No icy stuff expected, at least. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm drinking decaf (which is the strongest coffee I can handle in the afternoon. :lol: ) Our weather has cleared up nicely, but I am keeping DD12 home from Aikido because she's clammy and a little dizzy. Could be weather, could be allergies. Doesn't need to Aikido today. I told her she can pass out her candy heart box valentines to the class on Thursday instead. We will have leftovers for supper because there are way too many things of food cluttering up the fridge. Tonight's plan was the stewed meat tacos (can't remember the word that meant "stewed"), but I left the meat in the freezer. I might get more meat and make it this weekend instead -- Mexican-food-loving BIL & Family will be down for President's Day weekend. Someone (probably Slashie) shared a breakfast smoothie recipe link -- a recipe calling for coffee. I bought myself some mini packets of instant decaf, since I'm the only one in the house that will even touch the stuff, and not very often. I usually like a little coffee with my cream & sugar, and I can't have that much anymore. This smoothie promises to let me enjoy the flavor somewhat, however. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
