Another Lynn Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Good Morning! Wednesday! Humph Day! Bookie, the only con I can think of for subbing three picture books would be the increased cost. Also, 3 sentences *may* be a lot for some third graders. But no harm in requiring it up front and then seeing if Moms come to you requesting/offering less. Sounds like it will be great! It's coffee time! Critter, do you have your shades up yet? I'm excited to see rain in the forecast for today. I would love a cozy day! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Good morning! Hey Luuknam! Take care! Don't take risks on treacherous roads! Junie, how are you doing today? I's so sleepy. Moved into the "irritated coughing fit" phase of the 24-hour plague, so not much sleep last night. JJM, I am so grateful that you recommended Clear Lungs a while back - it has really helped dh and dd11. Must get pantz and go to the grocery store. We have been without cheese for 2 full days and people are starting to panic. Dd19 is coming with me so she can get food to bring with her to her summer job (camp counselor). They pay for her room, but she has to provide her own food. She'll have a full kitchen, so it's not too bad. I'm definitely ready for a second cup of COFFEE!! ☕️☕️☕️☕️ 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 My bank card was denied at Aldi today! That's never happened to me before. I called the bank and apparently they flagged the transaction as fraud. Come on, people! I shop there almost every week! I spent about $50 more than usual, but still, it was within the realm of reality. After waiting on hold forever, the lady called whoever and said it was fixed, but it wasn't. So she called again and it was fixed again but not. Finally the 3rd time it worked and I was able to buy my food. And cheese. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Is this too snarky? SIL keeps texting with more and more requests for our family to do stuff. Which I don't mind doing.

Another Lynn Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Jean, I think it's fine. Alternatively, you could say, "Yes, they can help at the reception, but that's really all we can commit to since they are also doing xyz....." If you think that's appropriate - it hi-lights what you've already agreed to and draws a line against further requests without commenting on the other cousins. (Though what you have is fine too.) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Pizza, pizza, pizza, pizza, pizza, pizza, pizza, pizza, PIZZA! Only mine is a breakfast pizza because DH wanted one, and we share. I have been ultra-productive on the writing front. I edited a chapter, brainstormed a rewrite of the scene in that chapter, rewrote a new query letter, composed a twitter pitch for a writing contest, and made PIZZA! I didn't clean the kitchen, but I did three loads of dishes and cleaned out the refrigerator, which frankly was scarier than editing... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
