KrissiK Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Completely unrelated topic. Every single day there is at least one meal that gets delayed for whatever reason (usually taking kids places) and by the time I get to eat I am SO starving I think I will pass out. So I totally overeat in order to save my life, lol. I probably need to change to a high protein breakfast and find a convenient high protein snack. you know, as much as I hate cottage cheese, it does fill me up and stay with me throughout the morning. Carb-rich breakfasts tend to leave me hungry mid-morning!! And starving by lunch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) I'm getting all my "Good Mom Points" in this week. More friends over this afternoon, and I even threw the neighbor boy into the lunch pile, for good measure. He was here anyway. Quesadillas for 8 kids.... No 7 kids, one friend doesn't like cheese, so I was accommodating and made him a peanut butter and honey sandwich. See how I am? I figure if I get it all done in one week I can go back to being a curmudgeon the rest of the year!😆 Edited April 13, 2017 by KrissiK 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I did my chores this morning, taught school, did afternoon chores, two loads of laundry and cooked dinner. I think I'm done for the day. Oh, and I went to the library. I think I've done my good momming and can have my decaffeinated tea and a lie down. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanalouwho Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Thanks for the prayers! I was so freaked out, but it went really well. Her lab numbers are up to low normal and some of the behaviours the internet had me worried were a symptom of something rare and horrible turned out to be a reaction they see fairly often. 😌 Also, let me just say, everyone at our childrens hospital is awesome. ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜. Really, they are some of the kindest people on the planet. Never ask Dr. Google! I'm glad everything went well.

Please note the lack of schooling in the plan. The book I have to read so I can discuss it with DS will wait. All items previously on the schedule have been moved to Monday. And I might go work out. Maybe. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I like the way you think. It's a fact: http://www.webmd.com/parenting/features/calorie-burners " Heavy yard work (landscaping, moving rocks, hauling dirt): 400-600 calories per hour Raking and bagging leaves: 350-450 calories per hour Gardening: pulling weeds, planting flowers, etc.: 200-400 calories per hour Mowing the lawn: 250-350 calories per hour" http://healthyliving.azcentral.com/calories-burned-shopping-1387.html "Walking through the store at a leisurely 2 mph burns around 200 calories per hour for a 150-pound person, according to the University of Hawaii Nutrition website."

Renai Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I hope I'm not about to mess things up. My daughter is doing dual enrollment at the community college, but in a county over, they are telling a homeschooler they don't qualify. The state dude I spoke to last year said some colleges were slow in implementing the new rule and he was working on it, but he is no longer working there. Now, there is Ms. Clueless still going by old rules. I should go back two weeks. I took Gymnast to an acting class with a Bible theater group, and I slipped out so she would come out of her shell and not try to cling to me. It's ok; it works every time. While I slipped out, I started talking to a homeschool friend of mine, who introduced me to another homeschooler from the county over. We talked about dual enrollment, I shared info from my google drive, and we've been in touch. Another homeschool family she knows is the one that is running into problems with their local community college. Back to now: So, the other homeschooler is getting nowhere with either the community college or the state dual credit coordinator. The family doesn't want to cause problems for us who are already getting the benefits though. But, I'm looking it up anyway. Because I have nothing better to do with my time other than try to help another family to push schools to do the right thing. Right now, they are discouraged, though. I've already found the updated rules - page and line numbers, links and quotes have been emailed to the family. I wonder how far this will go. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 We just got home from the wedding of my cousin's daughter. It was very lovely!! Very traditional and dignified and beautiful. Susan, you would have liked the music - classical trio: flute, clarinet and cello. It was beautiful. I hadn't been to a wedding in years. It was nice to get out with just DH, too. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Valley Home Educators Convention is in Modesto, which is a fair sized town, but nothing to speak of, and last summer I wasn't looking forward to any of the speakers (although I ended up in some great lectures), but what I was looking forward to was spending the night in the very nice Doubletree Hotel with my BFF, and, after having a nice dinner out, spending the rest of the evening in our Jammies, binge-watching Hawaii 5-0 and going over all the ads and catalogs, etc. we had collected in the exhibit hall.
