I'm fairly certain the neighbors never saw me, though I would sneak out and get the mail or rotate laundry if no one was home. I was thin at the time.

lanalouwho Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I'm making brownies. I also have 2 little boys who are dutifully cleaning their rooms because I told them I would not share unless they did. 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I have barely gotten out of bed since I walked the kids on Monday. I am exhausted. Truly exhausted. It's gotten really bad the last few weeks. I can see it in my step count and housework. All school has been from bed for weeks. Any suggestions? It's taking me about an hour to fall asleep so I'll take suggestions for that too. Not melatonin. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I'm just frustrated. And this is more of a JAWM post than an "I'm looking for advice" post. I'm trying to figure out next year. We joined this charter school.... for many reasons, but we can't use Christian curriculum and that's all we've been using. There are ways to get around some things, but I don't want to spend my life trying to get around things. KWIM? So, I'm looking at literature guides since we won't be using CLE Reading program, and I need to find a science program for my two oldest. We've all been doing Apologia together and that's been working well, but I do think my two oldest are needing something a little more age appropriate..... anyhow. As I said, I'm not looking for advice. I just want to gripe. Back to your regularly scheduled Wednesday afternoon! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Ugh. The neighbor boys are eating dinner here. No sign of mom or other adult at their house. They went to another neighbor's house while I brought the kids to Bible study, but they came back for dinner. Oh, a blue car just pulled up. I think it's the older half-sister's boyfriend. He just brought over the half-sister's 3yo. Um. I think after everyone is done eating, we'll have to take a walk over and see what the blankety-blank is going on. Just kidding. I won't say "blankety-blank". 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I have been reading through collections of short stories. Next up in the book I'm currently reading: The Tell-Tale Heart. I think I'm gonna wait until morning for that one. I think Poe was a brilliant writer, but I prefer to read his stories in the daytime. Especially after that time in college when I had to spend an entire weekend by myself for the first time. (I had *never* slept in a house alone before.) And I had to write a research paper on The Fall of the House of Usher. Let's just say I didn't sleep much. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Lynn Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Good Thursday Morning! ☕ ☕ Today is game day at summer swim practice. The kids get a donut at practice and there are lots of kids and 3 different age groups. Last week I was appointed to make sure no one came back for a second until the end of all the practices. Today, I have made plans to meet a mom for breakfast and give her girl clothes and shoes we've outgrown. (Yes, I am brilliant. Thank you very much. Personally, I think they should just buy more donuts, lol.) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My DH got a call a couple days ago regarding a new job and he’s going to go check it out after work today. It sounds like a better position than he has now, he knows nothing about then pay, etc. but the commute is 30 minutes farther each way than he’s driving now. It’s easy driving - just highway driving out to the middle of nowhere, but still. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I had to write a research paper on The Fall of the House of Usher. Let's just say I didn't sleep much. I read Poe in high school and he really creeped me out. Never read him again. I’m picking up “We were the Lucky Ones” again after a short break (I read a 400 page Harry Bosch novel in less than 24 hours). I don’t know what to do with that book. It’s a good book. Very well written, but good heavens, it is depressing. It is based on a true story, the author’s family story, actually. It’s about a Jewish Family in Poland during WWII, when Poland got divided up between the Nazis and the Soviets. It’s horrible. It’s the most horrifying thing, but the only thing that really makes me want to put it down is how awful those people were treated. I can’t take it. And it doesn’t have gratuitous horribleness in it. The author just tells it the way it was. The family consists of the parents and their grown-up children, a couple of whom are married. They end getting split up. One son gets an illegal visa and is trying to sail to Brazil after ditchng the French army, another son and his wife were put into a cattle car and sent to Siberia because he didn’t check the box to be loyal to the Soviets when they invaded. And I’m kind of making myself read it, reminding myself, as a middle-class, middle-aged American woman, that people did treat other people this way. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess which one's which. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
