Jean in Newcastle Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I am actually going to go to bed soon. And I just remembered that ds doesn't work tomorrow morning so I can sleep in to the late hour of 7 am. Woo hoo! My feet hurt big time. We are going to go shoe shopping tomorrow for nice sensible athletic shoes. Ds asked if we could get him some new ones too since his are held together with duct tape. Sure. We're living large. (We'll send the bill to Tex.) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikslo Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Take the 3rd day of school, add in a whiny kid, stir in some flopping on the floor, and what do you have? A mother who goes ballistic and threatens to call the local PS in the morning to enroll a new student. And a clean living room and kitchen floor. 'Cause you ain't sittin' 'round all nite playing on the iPad kiddo, and I am D.O.N.E. - done! Done with listening to you whine, done with fighting. You think I am going to work all day, come home and take you for a bike ride to the park, cook for you, wait 2 hours while you eat, so that I can listen to you whine and fight with you about schoolwork? Nope. Not going to happen. What is going to happen is you are going to march down there and clean up you mess. And you will do it without speaking, unless those words are to apologize. And when you are finished cleaning - apology or no, you are still cleaning - then you will come up here and finish your math. Again, without speaking. Because I am done. You want to homeschool? You better start showing it. It was cathartic. Then again, come to think of it, I slept horribly last night. Sigh. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed it was because my phone was clipped to them so I carried it. I was at the second block and they fell down again, but this time they took my panties down too! What the crap?

KrissiK Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Slashie- I am so sorry! I really have no other words! Ikslo- I am going to memorize your speech and give it to my oldest dd. She's been giving me grief lately. I wish it wasn't too late to sign her up at the school we're sending DS to this year. They have literally performed a miracle on that boy. Renai- I wish it wasn't. I need a bit more sleep! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(We'll send the bill to Tex.) Do send the bill. I will send it to my accountant to pay, via my personal assistant. Worst. first run. ever. I got half way down the block and my pants fell down.

So there you have it. I ran 2 blocks and then turned around and walked home. I'm sorry for laughing at this. I actually started a thread once about running pants for tall girls because mine started sneaking down when I started running. I never lost my drawers, though. I ended up spending a lot of time clutching my pants while running with the dog, and that is not good form in anyone's book. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 All these threads on kids resisting school.... I am resisting school. I don't want to do it. I've taken DS to school, I got dinner in the crock pot (poor white girl's chile verde) and I've cleaned out the dishwasher. Isn't that enough? I'd take a field trip today except that it's supposed to be 103 stinkin' degrees today and that is absolutely unreasonable! I want to go back to bed!

Jean in Newcastle Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Public school doesn't start here until next week. I haven't figured out when we'll start yet. We might start then - at least with some stuff. Dd is bored and so starting school would be good for her. But I really wanted to get some fun stuff together for her and haven't had time to do that yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're going light this week since DH and I are on vacation next week so I told him no school next week. I had fun stuff planned, that's the kicker. It was going to be spelling review, math review, and then I was introducing him to code.org's Code Studio. His student profile was all set up, ready to go. He's been bugging me to learn this stuff so he can be an all-star gamer...but we couldn't even get past the spelling and math review.

We started last week, thus the need to meet with Jesus. We had the come to Jesus meeting on school schedules and expectations this morning.

texasmama Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) Come to Jesus meeting has concluded, and it was successful. The syrup rug is gone, taken to the Goodwill. I blame it for the carpenter ants, and ain't nobody got time for those. Dh bought a fill in temp rug which is far too small, an ugly color and cheaply made. It cost $30 so when the kids shred it, I will not cry. I vacuumed and swept and walked the dog. Edited May 20, 2016 by texasmama 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Texie, I can't really recommend the recipe for Poor White Girl's Chile Verde because it was my first time making it and it needs a little tweaking. This is how I made it. Cubed pork chops and browned them. Threw them in the crock pot with a jar of Herdez Green Salsa. That wasn't enough to cover the meat so I threw in a can of green enchilada sauce. Cooked it all day. 1) pork chops were easy to cut, but too lean. They were dry. Very dry. Next time.... pork shoulder. 2) sauce - not thick enough and too spicy. I need to find a milder green sauce. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I finished my book. In a timely manner. Usually books take me months, maybe even years to read. This one only took me a month and it was a good one. "Dead Wake:The Last Crossing of the Lusitania" by Erik Larson. Not light, easy reading, but still... an excellent book.
