KrissiK Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Thanks. I’m having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad afternoon. I would let you borrow my very soft and warm throw, if I could. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 (edited) I do believe we just inadvertently threw a Christmas party. :svengo: There were 7 non-family members here from two different families (Choir Boy's family and TSD-OFNK family), the singing of Christmas carols, candles, hot chocolate, a cheese and cracker platter, TJ chocolate babka, and people having conversations/hanging out in 3 or more parts of the house. Also, we made cheese. 🎉 that sounds awesome!! And this is a Christmas Party at Susan’s House Booya/h!!

Susan in TN Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 The bonus to having guests over is that my house is cleaner than it has been for many moons. Much less dust than usual. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoJosMom Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 We churched! I'm ready for a nap. I have cooked for the day. Stuffed chicken breasts, crock pot mac and cheese, and chicken quesadillas. Also made tea and separated and froze meat. My sheets are in the dryer and my comforter in the washer. Ds10 wasn't sure if he wet the bed, and if he did it wasn't much, so just as a precaution... I should finish my shopping, but we're walking through the neighborhood delivering candy canes and inviting people to church in 54 minutes, so I can't now. And I feel super old. You guys being same age as my kids. But I knew that. This morning when I had my class practicing their Christmas songs ( kids are all 11 and under) a 5 year old said, "I can tell you're a grandma." I don't know if it was my voice, or what. I wouldn't let her elaborate. We're super close, dudette. I just starting childing much later. I’m old, too. Many of my peers are grandparents already. I just got married later than most. Yup. For ikslo: 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 We are back from listening to Christmas music in a cave. It was very nice, but I wished for Susan and family because they were sorely in need of a violinist with a fancy new bow. However, there was a really good bass player, a guy on mandolin and a lady that played mountain dulcimer divinely. Now I'm all tired and it's not seven yet. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikslo Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 (edited) :grouphug: About the spreadsheet, Ikslo. Any way to recover it? I spent 4 hours trying. Nope. I had saved it but left it open when I went down for lunch. When I came back up, friggin’ Microsoft had forced an update. The result was my file was corrupted. There is no hope. And for some reason OpenOffice’s default is that the automatic backup option is not checked. If I had known that, I would have had the babkup thingy checked from the beginning. Grrrr. I hate everyone right now. Including myself. I usually send backup copies every now and then to my work computer, but apparently I have done that all year. :( Edited December 18, 2017 by ikslo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanalouwho Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 We churched. DD was beautiful as candle lighter. There were 3 other kids. None of them tripped or knocked over the Advent Wreath or set the church on fire. So all went well. We listened to the missionary couple. We lunched. Now i’m Watching Sportsball. Hooray for not burning down the church! That is a major accomplishment. What do you do when you run your homeschool via spreadsheet, and this year’s crashes and burns with no hope of recovery? You cry. A lot. Because that 4 1/2 months worth of records aren’t coming back, and you don’t have the wherewithal to recreate tomorrow’s lessons never mind the previously planned 5 1/2 months you’re left facing. Excuse me while I mourn my loss. Did I mention the tears? I would cry, too. I'm sorry that happened. But now you get to rebuild it from scratch and change everything. I would probably enjoy that even while I was frustrated that it needed to be done. Because planner nerd.

Now that all Christmas Activities are completed we must focus attention on packing for the journey over the river and through the woods. Must make lists. Do laundry. Gather suitcases and dufflebags. Go to AFSA. I should really get my hair cut. I would like to visit Switzerland and go hiking. Ds13 would like to eat their cheese. Critter, that concert sounds nice!

Another Lynn Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Good Monday Morning! Sorry i'm late. After church, we went to see the other cast perform P&P which was fun. Ds performs again Tuesday night and then it's done. After seeing the play twice (and hearing the first three chapters read aloud), youngest said she wanted to watch the movie. All 6 hours. So we did last night. Anyway, now it's COFFEE time!!! (((Ikslo))) I'm so sorry! (((Angi))) Hope it's a one and done!

But if they're going to offer it to others, that does take a little pressure off. What was it you gave before - a waffle iron? or a keurig? Get the cheapest single cup coffee maker you can find and do that. Or, some other cheaper kitchen gadget. But no blades. How about Mr. Coffee Ice tea maker, are those expensive?

Critterfixer Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 I'm up and very tired. I have running around to do today. I hate running around. I just want to stay home and do nothing. Or something. Just not get in the car and brave the town. From November to January the traffic becomes so bad that I just want to retire to the deep mountains and only go to town once every three months or something like that. #captainintrovert #curmudgeon #probablyenduponthesideofamountain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
