ikslo Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Youngest looks like she's got Fifths disease--rash broke out this morning. I picked up jelly beans when I picked up kids' benadryl & tylenol. I think more for me than her. :grouphug: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikslo Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Do you two need to sit on the sofa and hold hands for a while?I didn't call her gross! She's misinterpreting! Why do you always blame me? It's not fair! Waaaaah! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikslo Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 :ack2: This is why we use an accountant. (He was a good friend of my dad, so we get the family rate. I know that CPAs are frequently out of the range of a reasonable budget. :( ) My boss's wife is a CPA. I made my DH call her so my boss and I could stay out of it. Really, my boss and I both hate dealing with taxes, so keeping a good work relationship was just a bonus. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Testing could be fun, though. She gave me her cold :glare: and I have a sore throat. So today I get to dictate standardized tests with a sore throat. I'm probably going to lose my voice.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk There must be something in it your body wants. My favorite is IBC, though back when I could tolerate the extra sweet Sioux City Birch Beer was also at the top of my list. How about candy, can you tolerate any of that? Root Beer Barrels were a favorite when I was young. I deliberately don't buy them because I will eat them and I'm not sure anyone else in this household will. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was past the contagious phase but had lost my voice. I stopped at a gas station for directions to one place and wrote a note since I had no voice. In the note I explained I had laryngitis and couldn't talk, and asked how to find a certain street. The person thought I was deaf, so I rewrote my note to explain I could hear just fine -- I had a sore throat and lost my voice temporarily. The person gave a relieved nod and then explained to me how to find the street I was looking for -- very loudly and slowly, staring at my face to try to determine if I comprehended. I thanked her and left, and was relieved when I got where I was going to find people who simply read my notes, gave an understanding smile, and talked to me as normal.

prairiewindmomma Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Prairie, has your littlest one eaten anything. I hope she's feeling better. :grouphug: I became worried when she turned down cake in a long string of high bribery foods yesterday. Last night she ate some chicken ravioli from Costco and a few jellybeans. Today, five hours in, she's had a jello cup. Normally she is a very good eater so she's still not well, but she at least has some calories in her now. I picked up some pedialyte popsicles to see if we can get more liquids in. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiewindmomma Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 So, I used to live smack in the middle of tornado alley. I've been through (and had our house damaged by) tornados. We had our little shelter in the basement and regular drills and everyone learned to read the sky. Then I moved to TX, where they have no basements, no tornado sirens, and still the occasional tornado. They can't even drive in the rain here. It's messed up. I'd totes be willing to pack up into your hillbilly heaven, but you lost me at hip-deep snow this past winter. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I have never been anywhere near a tornado. Californians run for cover when we get pea-sized hail. But that's what we have hail-canons for. Now earthquakes, I could tell you about earth quakes. DH has an uncle in Oklahoma, of all places, who has refused to ever visit California because of the earthquakes.

Another Lynn Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I decided to have my 8yo do a bit of a Spectrum test practice book to expose her to the types of questions she might see on standardized testing. We did a page of the math today. It was hard. :leaving: It had place value up to hundred thousand. I also see a page coming up with multiplication and division. We just started working on multiplication facts She can skip count pretty well - but that's going to be kind of frustrating I think. I'm not one who cares a whole lot about testing - more of a peace of mind thing for me, but..... the practice book is giving me a "are we behind in math?!" complex all of a sudden. :crying: :svengo: 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
