Ellie Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 My apologies for my oversight, Your Highness. If I may be so bold, allow me to remind you: it is I, Thread Matriarch, AMJ, who helped establish our honored tradition. I fear my 2-week absence from the forums and this thread have caused me to fade into distant memory, and perchance my appearance has changed much since we last were together. My deepest and most sincere profusologies over my forgetitudinousness. I failed to notice the page status of my reply due to over exuberance in pursuing posts I had missed and responding individually as I saw need. I shall slow down my catchuposity in hope of preventing future lapses. My obsequiousest kowtow in gratitude for your kind benevolence in drawing my attention to my error. My most gracious monarch, I thank thee. You are most gracious. I can only blame my Hashimoto's thyroiditis flare for such a serious breach of protocol. #whycantdoctorsgetitright #retiringtotheroyalcanopybedtorecover 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swellmomma Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 YOu guys always have so much fun while I am stuck at work. AND it looks like my work schedule in the fall has doubled. It will be a challenge to keep homeschooling, but ultimately it is a good thing. We had our year end staff party tonight, a great time ws had by all, though I have to restart my whole30 tomorrow because I was WAY off protocol. Anyway, currently I work M-F 730-9am and then 230-6pm at the afterschool care, and then Mondays and Fridays I also do 9-1 at the college daycare (owned by some umbrella but very different programs). Next year things change, and for me it means practically doubling my paycheques. I will so do 730-9am at the afterschool care, plus 230-6 M-F unless it is a non school day when I will do 9-6. THis happens roughly every other week or so. I will be doing 9-2 M-F at the college daycare now. Meaning I will essentially be doing 10.5 hour work days with only a 30 minute lunch break. Plus my college classes at night. My kids are on board for it, and while it will be challenging I think I can make it work though I may put the youngest into ps for the year to take the burden of childcare off the big kids. What it ultimately means is that by the end of the school year I should be able to completely pay off 1 of my 2 student loans and be well on the way of paying off the other and that is without the raise I will get after graduating next spring. So a ton of work and I will need to book a family vacation at some point in the year, but financially a turning point for us. I want to do it this year because once my son turns 18 even though he will still be in high school and living at home I know my ex will cut the child support and I will lose his disability benefits and the amount I get from child tax benefit for him, so that is a big reduction in my monthly budget. SO I figure work my butt off for 10 months to make life easier when that day comes. I can do anything for 10 months if it means my family will benefit from it. After how hard the last couple days have been I needed this positive change in my life. THe whole night ended well. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only know the hiragana (well, I haven't practiced in a while...), and the only thing I'd be able to do would be to write "bu ya", which I don't think means anything... Well, I suppose their reasoning is that booyah is (according to the Urban Dictionary) "an expression of joy, especially over a well-played or victorious moment in sports" and saying "Nice!" is also an expression of joy that you could use in the same circumstances. Not that I've ever heard anyone yell that out in Japan but I've been away for many years so who knows, perhaps it's the new in thing? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wintermom Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 So much celebrating to do!!! My dd is off for a 4-day camping adventure with a group of homeschool girls. It's organized by the girls for the girls with little-to-no adult interference. They should have a blast. Oh, and before dd leaves, dc and I emptied her room and ripped the carpeting to prepare it for new flooring (that doesn't smell of cat pee). It already smells WAY better. That's is worthy of celebrating, too! :party: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THere is little spots that you checkmark, so I put them all to ignore posts and signatures, but they could still message me. Instead of seeing their posts it says so-and-so has written a post you have blocked do you want to see it anyway, or something to that effect. SO I could still see it if I wanted to, but I don't.
