Junie Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Good Morning! Ds17, dd15, and dd11 are on their way to drama camp. I have a feeling that there is going to be a different kind of drama going on here this week as I try to get the kids who are here to do the chores of those who are gone. ? I have instructed the kids who are here that they must do at least *some* homeschool this week. I have a bunch of grading and planning to do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paige Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 I still have poison ivy spreading all over. Dying. It's not bad enough to go to the doctor, because I'm not literally dying, and it's not near my eyes or mouth, but it's just lingering and bad enough to drive me crazy. And now it's on my palm. ?️ My MIL said if it's systemic, and I think it is, that it won't clear up on its own, and I need a shot, but I'm trying to wait it out because I hate all things doctor and shots. Surely it cleared up in people before there were shots. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paige Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Today's the last day of school for the older kids! ?Apparently you get to skip the rest of the week if you did well on tests, etc. Poor DD (10) has to go all week.

KrissiK Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Good Morning!!! COFFEE!!!!~D Monday!!?? i’m up early this morning.

Two of the kids have orchestra "camp" this week (just during the day) so I have to drive into The Big City twice a day this week. We discovered that ds13 hasn't had a tetanus shot since 2006, so he has to get one tonight for boy scout camp. Our houseguest will be over at some point. I forgot about them and left the hardboiled eggs in the IP for almost 2 hours. Dh says they are still edible. Coffee!

Jean in Newcastle Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Good morning. Sleeping with a bunny is not restful.

For some reason that I haven't figured out yet, she brought him back upstairs. So she always has the option of putting the cage back down there. We could also fence off part of the room so that he could do his nocturnal partying without access to my pillow. Maybe. He can jump quite high (over 3 feet up). We'll discuss it once dd rolls out of bed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Our bunnies stay in their pen all night. I have done things: brought kids to orchestra camp, ordered peaches from the farm, ordered gifts for dad and nephew, registered kids for children's choir, paid tuition deposits, fiddled with the garden, mailed bills, called the clinic and figured out what to do for ds13's tetanus shot, and figured out dinners for the week. I have to leave in a half hour to pick kids up from orchestra and take ds to get his shot. Not sure when our houseguest will be here. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 I absolutely hate being put on the spot. After receiving multiple calls from the same business (which I didn't recognize and thought were telemarketers) I finally answered. It turned out to be the publishers of a Christian study that I'm doing with the church teens wanting our feedback. Since the teens and I have spent a lot of time talking about how you have to take this study with a huge grain of salt because it is propagandistic and overly simplistic in it's arguments, this put me on the spot. My answer was "It's ok but is clearly biased" which then put the caller on the spot as he sputtered. Oh well. I thanked him nicely for calling. But I feel like a bad pastor's wife for not swallowing everything hook, line and sinker. (Which really should not be the case, I know. It must be some kind of social conditioning. . . ) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
