Susan in TN Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Good morning! Not so much with the sleep last night. Today is dd14's first day of tutorial. I have to go sign a waver, then store, then home for school. I'm glad I don't have to drag all The Youngers with me. If we are not too tired tonight we might try to go to the Slow Jam - it's the last one we'll be able to attend for several months. I have to see if I can get the GP to call and talk to me about yesterday's fiasco. Otherwise she will have to discuss it during dd19's appointment. Dd's college supply packing has taken over the living room. I might stop by the store today, and will buy ice cream for everyone. (I'll pick up some dairy-gluten-nut-free frozen treat as well.) COFFEE!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikslo Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 How'd that go? Looking at my 10yo, I don't think I want to be as skinny as him (same BMI would be fine, but since I'm more than a foot taller, I really need more flesh on my bones). It wouldn't be healthy, and it wouldn't look good on me either. That said, I'd be okay with losing the weight of my 10yo (though no more, or I'd end up being that skinny, which wouldn't look good... losing his weight would really be the max (it'd put me at a BMI of 19.2 or thereabouts)). I got the desk. I use it a good deal, but not always. Actually, then I moved to this desk and there was one here, but it annoys me when the other one didn't. I realized a few weeks ago it is actually a smaller version. So my keyboard keeps sliding off slightly and then is askew. I still don't look like a 10-year old. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I decided to stay home and keep the cooties to myself. Lynn--boy or girl? A good plan. Rest if you can. :grouphug: :grouphug: Down here I'm actually on the mend, and the occasional cough (this will linger for about 3 weeks or so) isn't enough to stop me grocery shopping. I will still wash my hands as soon as I get to the store (something I do anyway before handling produce) and if I tire or feel more coughing coming on I'll cut the trip short and leave, but I really need some fresh foods in this house now. Sunday, when I asked DH to pick up "a bag of salad or two" (along with a few other things) he picked up just the one bag we ate that night at supper. I asked for some berries if any looked good -- one small bin, so I ate all of those yesterday. (Hey, if the rest of the family is just going to wait for me to wash berries and tell them they are ready to eat they can miss out from time to time). I need to pick up my prescription refills, too, before I run out of certain key meds. I'm torn between which grocery store to visit today. My preferred one is farther away from the pharmacy where my meds are waiting, but it has the better produce section. The more conveniently-placed (today) store has the chai concentrate I really like, and I use my FIL's rewards club card so he gets my fuel points. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can acknowledge loneliness or disappointment. These are genuine valid feelings that we can tell God about and we can tell our friends and family as well. Know that you aren't alone in these feelings. *These feelings can get worse when we're tired or under the weather, so take care of your needs. Maybe you need a nap? Or a snack? *Play the "what do you know game". It might go like this: I know that God made me. I know that He loves me so much that He gave His son to die in the cross for me. I know that He gave me feelings and understands them. I know that He will never stop loving me. I know that we can take valid feelings and twist them into sin. I know that my family loves me. They might not always like how I am acting but I am secure in their love. I know that if I sin, I can confess my sins (tell God my naughty things). I know that God always forgives me.

JoJosMom Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 :grouphug: , Lynn and for DD. On the advice, I got nothing. I tend to be of the "suck it up, Buttercup" line of parenting. So go with Jean. And I agree with Slash: one on one. Diagnostic question: This is also struggling math student, right? Sounds like the root could be insecurity (esp. in light of brother's "triumphant" exit to college), so I'd be careful with any implication of "you're making everyone miserable" until you rule insecurity in or out. An insecure 14-year-old doesn't need more help to pile on more guilt, shame, self-loathing; they're pretty darn good at it, generally speaking. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 That's because Latin is better than Geometry!! I think it has something to do with the fact that dividing a line segment into three parts is just not something I get intuitively. I don't get Latin intuitively either, but I can figure out word problems better than math problems in my current state of health. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
