KrissiK Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 In my family people come by and drop off 10-20lbs of froz beef. It's pretty sweet, but I still want Renai to adopt me.I need to get rid of cucumbers. They are piling up in my fridge. I'm tempted to put them in plastic bags and tell my kids go go out and play "Ding-dong Ditch" and leave the bags on the neighbors' front porches. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Good Tuesday Morning! Coffee!!! We normally don't do school in the summer, but dh and I decided that one person's math situation warrants summer work. And the youngest already has violin practice and might as well be required to read. I want to add a little math for her too when it gets here. And then ds needs to finish reading Treasure Island and start pre-reading for Challenge A, and maybe actually finish one of the grammar programs we tried this year. As a bonus, this extra work will delay their screen time each day. (15yo should finish Algebra 2 this week and then this may be his first summer in four or five that he won't be pre-reading literature books! - a well deserved break!) We usually don't do summer school, either, but two kids have some major ketchupping up to do with math, so they will be doing it during the summer. And everyone will be doing Spanish with either Rosetta Stone or Duolingo. But that's fun, not like "real school". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And all that time I thought my kid was trained because she made it to the toilet. ETA: Wow. And that had to be a booya. smh I know, right?? I was wiping some butts for years.

prairiewindmomma Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 The peach season is almost over here as only the early crops survived the frost. The 👠I picked up from the roadside stand don't look very lovely, but I think I have enough for a bit of eating + 1 pie. I had hoped to be having pie for supper but these are a bit hard still. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting for that magic moment. So I'm uh...unschooling potty training at the mo...yeah, that's it... I had to just give up on my strong-willed youngest for a while. I was like, "you want to wear pull-ups your entire life?? Go for it, child!!" And then one day, we got home from church and she said, "I want to wear panties, Mommy!"

AMJ Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 My 4 yo is sitting next to me brushing her teeth. Girlfriend has an obsession with Tom's of Maine strawberry toothpaste. It's better than DD15almost16. She has not been brushing her teeth and gums well enough, and it showed at today's dental check-up. Now she gets to be nagged by Mom several times a day about when and how she brushes. Things went very promptly at the dentist's, so we walked down to the orthodontist to ask if they could squeeze DD13 in a little earlier (we had 90 minutes to kill until her appointment). They did! Things went quickly there, too, so in less than an hour we had both the dental visits and the orthodontic visit all over and done with. Huzzah! I took the girls to a local bagel cafe for a treat afterwards -- they ate grilled cheese, and DD15 had some soup, too. I had my fully loaded lox bagel treat. Now I'm home and still muddle-headedly groggy. No class time today; instead I will be cleaning, and maybe napping. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I wish I could take them. I adore cucumbers.I love them, too. Just not this many. And this is actually unusual. Usually my plants produce 2-3 fruits and then shrivel and die. I think all the rain we got this winter really conditioned the soil because the garden is looking great. We got a ton of boysenberries off three plants and our grapes are totally loaded, too. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will not be fighting over the last three hamburger buns to use as bread in the toaster for supper tonight. I have reached taxi driver status as a mom. I told dh to uber his way home if he is done today and doesn't fit onto my schedule. In other news, our rice cooker died last night. I ordered a second instant pot. Because Texas, and summer.

That oven isn't coming on until it's below 80F in the house again (which means late October). I need to remember to suggest looking into grocery delivery or curb-side pick-up to SIL. She's got a 4 bottomless pits in the house plus a 4-year-old, herself and BIL. She can never get enough groceries in one run because she has 4yo with her and can only handle one grocery cart. The grocery store is becoming like a second home to her, she shops so often. This past weekend she took one pre-teen with her (leaving the 4yo home with elder brothers) and had the rare treat of having two people to push two grocery carts, with no short person to chase and wrangle. Still, it was amazing how quickly two carts' worth of groceries disappeared over just the weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Went to the lab in the Big City and back. Trying to make sure they added the right tests for my current problem has been a lot more difficult than it should be. I'm a bit over the having to teach young medical support staff how to do their job and how to get blood out of me. And I am really over the "give them the phone number where they can reach me but they call the other number where they can't reach me " thing. Btw: I'm just grousing. It will all work out some how. Worst case scenario will have me driving back into the Big City later today but I don't think it will come to that.
