ikslo Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 My library system is so fab. I've gone through $1,000s of books. I don't want to move. Our is fab, too. But it WAS also superbly convenient with a branch less than 2 minutes from my house. Sigh. iSad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJ Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Wow, looks like we might actually get some severe weather. And it's bedtime. Just before the last of the light disappeared I went out to look at what the sky was doing. Our cat was hunkered down under a pile of wood we have by the back door (from a torn-down swing set -- we need to remove the metal before taking it to the burn pile). When I came back in she scurried low and fast through the door and went straight up to her bed. I might be staring at the weather app a while tonight. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanalouwho Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I'm jealous of fabulous libraries. Ours is.... not bad, but it's small. It's a small town library with a small town budget. They really do the best they can, but there's not a lot of support. Sent from my HTCD160LVW using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 (edited) Uh, Susan.... I've been thinking, who's going to play you in the upcoming blockbuster hit movie.I'm thinking Kathy Bates. Meg Ryan's characters have way more personality than I do. :D Harrison Ford can play Mark W. SWB is beautiful and talented and should play herself.

I place them on hold and pick them up at my convenience. The classes are abused as free babysitting with undisciplined children. We go to read a book and someone bites my kid so hard he bleeds. Tell mom about it and she tells me to f*ck off. There's nothing the librarian can do about it. It's awful. Free books though, so yay.

Renai Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 You met your step goal. I actually have two goals: the official one, that sometimes I barely meet (except this week has been great!), and I'll sometimes set a personal higher goal for whatever reason. This weekend, I'm doing one of those Yosemite challenges and wanted to finish it in two days, so my personal goal was quite a reach from the official. I'm over 2,000 steps short of that goal, and I'm not going to make it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luuknam Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Page 63, despite the fact that my wife told me I can't read this thread anymore until after we move. She's completely gung-ho today about getting everything packed, and it's completely getting on my nerves. I helped pack stuff, but I constantly feel like she thinks I'm not doing enough, like I'm too slow, or that I'm not doing it right, or w/e. So, since it's after 11pm I just fled to our bedroom with a box of chocolates and am reading the thread I'm not allowed to be reading. Sigh. And I can just feel the negative vibes from her... but if I were to confront her about it, she'd just tell me that it's all in my head, that I keep feeling judged even when I'm not, etc, blah blah blah. She even packed a bunch of stuff I'm still using while I took the kids to pick up Celery's new glasses, so I now have no clue what box they're in (not that Celery would mind... he'd happily do without writing and grammar for the next year). I mean, we don't even know yet when we're moving. Signing papers and get key on Monday, iiuc, and need to be out of here before June, but we don't have a truck rented or anything, so who knows? I hate uncertainty. Spent a bunch of time crying today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I wish I could say I was all kinds of motivated to do summer school tomorrow. The boys are ready. Not happy, but ready. They both complained that they hadn't been able to get any good writing done because there wasn't school to "motivate" them. "When I don't have school, Mom, I don't feel pressured to write. And then I don't write. But when I have school, I really work hard in the morning to get my writing done, because I know there's school, and I really want to get my writing done first." My reply: "Well, I'm really motivated to write when I'm on break, because I know that when school starts back I'll have to do that, and I won't get time to write!"

I think there's an equation, but I'm pretty sure I'm on the wrong side of it. Sounds like your boys share a trait with me -- they work better when deadlines loom. They will learn over time how to manage this, how to create deadlines for themselves that actually feel like deadlines (many times self-imposed deadlines that are arbitrarily determined don't take because the person knows they can fudge them if they need or want to). They will also find their own sources of motivation and inspiration, but it could take a while. I have found that sometimes I have to sink to a low, maybe even deliberately wallow in self-pity over something for just a bit, before I can get fed up with that, shake it off, and just get started. I would normally tell them not to lose heart, but I have found that losing heart over something I genuinely like is one way to get my dander up. I get defiant, fed up, even angry, and then I start to do something about it, even if I have no idea of what to do or a plan to follow. I start doing, and then go where it takes me. This is something I started figuring out in my teens. I was too intimidated earlier, but certain circumstances in my teens gave me just enough to start fighting. Your boys don't sound like they lack the self-confidence, so they might start working this out earlier. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have an antenna, a PS3 with a few Just Dance and exercise games, and currently Netflix. DH is getting fed up with Netflix, however, and is tempted to either go with Amazon Prime or Hulu. His folks recently dropped Netflix and picked up Hulu. We watch the morning (and sometimes bedtime) news on our bedroom TV upstairs. We used to record and watch some shows downstairs, but the TV signal comes through the TV computer (something DH set up so we can watch videos we have stored on the family network) and I have no idea how to get to "on the air" TV down there anymore. We don't really miss it. I might go looking to see if Hee Haw is on DVD or something. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
