Critterfixer Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 My idea of boxed curriculum is curriculum that I buy and put in a box until I'm ready to plan it. So that's every curriculum out there as far as I know, because even pre-planned curriculum has to be planned to account for sick days, breaks, the student's ability to progress, Mom's tolerance to the books and or material... And y'all say that so much better than I do. :laugh: 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Openhearted Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Good Morning! Coffee is being consumed. I have to say my patience is wearing thin with my mother. She will be here a year in May. I think I have done fairly well with adding another whole person to my household, and the upheaval it has caused to my family. I am about to blow up. That is what I do. I keep taking and doing and taking, and it builds and builds. Then I tell someone off real good. Grrr. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Did I ever tell you about the spider that nearly got a hummingbird on my front porch? Remind me not to tell you that story at bedtime. Did you know that spiders are a common hallucination associated with parasomnias? Ugh! Yes! My mom always had snakes. I have spiders, snakes, and sometimes floating ghost-men. I can usually talk myself out of the hallucinations now. The worst is when I wake up and I am terrified because there is a strange man in my bed and I have to attempt to quietly sneak out of bed without waking him. I usually come out of it before getting to the door. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm lucky. I used to have a few episodes like what you describe--mostly things walking out of my closets. Not so much now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I had a great day yesterday and got a lot done, apparently a result of Second Coffee... and so I did not fall asleep for hours, and now I am a sleepy whitehawk on the very day when we need to get done early and go to activity group. Did I mention we hardly ever get to activity group?? It starts at 11. :/ It's 8:52 and we're in PJs. Update: We're dressed, but DS says he doesn't feel well. Couch day it is. I'm sorry your DS is feeling poorly. I hope you all have a good couch day. Some proactive couching will hopefully help stave off the rest of you from catching what he caught. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoJosMom Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 No kidding. I hate spiders. Except for Charlotte. **Psst! Everyone! Don't tell Krissi what happens at the end!** I decided to leave my hair down today and I realized it has gotten very long. Lynn's week sounds exhausting but fun. Spiders are if the devil. I want a boxed curriculum that I can plan myself. I don't mind if I have to gather the parts. Anyone have any ideas? :D If the devil what? :hurray: Go Jo! I'd let him shop and show me what he got!

JoJosMom Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Hi! Need more coffee! Late night run to town (well, at 8 pm) meant I went to bed waaaaay past my bedtime! Downside of living in small town: Everything (well, except McD's and Taco Bell and the AFSA) is closed at 8! No celebratory milkshake! But the grocery store was still open and had Red Velvet Cake Ice Cream! So we crashed Nana's house at almost 9 pm for a party! It's gonna be a long day! More coffee!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Well, I'm having breakfast now. We all are. And I'm not having cottage cheese, even though it is a Slim Day. I am having plain Greek yogurt, fancied up with some stevia, vanilla and a few blueberries. I have to count the berries, but that's ok. It's not much. Chicken stock is bubbling on the stove. It smells so good, and I was even able to throw a bunch or fresh parsley in there because my parsley is growing now. Fresh parsley smells so good. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I was semi-good. I ate my Uncle Sam cereal breakfast, but forgot to take the metformin with it. I am instead taking my metformin with lunch -- grocery store sushi. DD12 had more spacers put into her mouth this morning, so she needs soft foods for a couple of days. Since the nearby bagel cafe wasn't having the soups both girls really like (not today, at least) we decided to hit the grocery store deli and pick up lunch. And supper. And lunches for the rest of the week. And another supper or two. It would have been cheaper to go to their favorite expensive restaurant for lunch, but at least this way my two growing bottomless pits have meals for much of the week. We bought several different kinds of soup, and pita breads because they came free with the deli soups. We bought tamales because tamales. We bought cranberry turkey salad because cranberry turkey, and a bottle of water that came free with the salad. We bought sushi because this store's is yummy. The trays of it we got were also VERY freshly made, so DD12's rolls were nice and soft. We bought trays of mac & cheese because it's almost as good as my Mom's homemade and takes less work, and a tray of spaghetti and meatballs because hungry bottomless pit who likes spaghetti and meatballs. And in the time it took me to put those groceries away and type this DD12 has consumed an alarming amount of the purchases, and DD15 is still going. I must eat mine now, before it's suddenly not there anymore. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
