Another Lynn Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I'm feeling so grumpy / lazy. But I just realized it's mostly because I put my slippers on instead of running shoes after we got home from church. I am always worthless without good shoes on.

Critterfixer Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 It is so cold outside. We will probably be down around 4F tomorrow morning. I've been painting most of the day. Back is okay--not good but not as painful as I feared it would be. The chickens won't go in their house until dark, but their feet are cold. They keep standing on one leg, then shifting to the other. I wish they would just go in their warm house and lie down in the deep straw. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'm getting a different singing CD and beginning John on oral presentations IEW style like I claimed I was 4 months ago. I'm changing things for 9th grade dd. We're focusing on writing and doing less literature this semester. I have a couple resources on the way from Rainbow Resource. History and writing will be combined - using Diana Waring for an overview and then reading and researching a chose topic from the relevant time period. We're also dumping Understanding the Faith in favor of Mere Christianity, Case for Christ, Screwtape Letters.... Was this a paid for thing? RAR has caught my attention. I was tempted by Mystie's habit-workshop thingy, but I'm not in the mood for it with school starting back up. :laugh: Dh is getting ready to make nachos! We're thinking about nacho dip here, but I'm not sure I have enough cream cheese. (Layer of groundbeef - already browned - mixed with salsa, layer of cream cheese mixed with sour cream, layer of shredded cheddar cheese - in the oven for 15 minutes on 350.

Slache Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 The neighbor has returned from the hospital and at first I was glad because I don't have to take care of her dog but now I'm ready for her to go back. She's in a wheelchair and it's her excuse to not do anything. Like rotate laundry, take the trash out, go to the store or put her groceries away. She has us doing all of that. She just tried sending us out after Matt got got back from the grocery store and we said no. She's never worked. You know how people in wheelchairs can't work. :001_rolleyes: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to put pigment in three dose cups with water and pour it on the wet paper and see what happens. It's supposed to create a diffuse, out-of-focus background so that the objects in the foreground (a white camellia and associated blue-green leaves) will pop out.

Paige Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 MIL and BIL left yesterday. It was fine. I like short trips much better! MIL actually got up before 12 most days which has never happened before, afaik there were no inappropriate conversations with the kids, and DH and the kids were home most of the time to help entertain. The house was a wreck but I refused to care as long as I at least had pantz. They were useless w/baby because they can't handle crying but they were fine w/me napping w/him and I didn't feel like I was neglecting the big kids because they were there. MIL is a pretty good guest, or at least tries. She doesn't complain about food or housekeeping like my parents so as long as she wakes up, doesn't talk politics, doesn't disappoint the kids by over promising, and doesn't stay long enough to make me anxious I'm good. She did give everyone decent presents except DS(16), which was frustrating but not unexpected. The girls got nice jewelry and ornaments, Baby got some outfits, DH got a shirt, and I got holiday tea towels. DS (16) got a nylon bag that looked like something they'd give you for free at the state fair. He is nice, however, accustomed to MIL's eccentricities, and has low expectations, so he wasn't offended or hid it well. My nephew may come in a couple of weeks but that would only be for a night or 2. We don't know what his plans are yet. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
