Bleh!! And I still have to go to The Afsa. (((Krissi))) Get some chocolate while you're there.

Better to freak out now than on Aug 15. Plus composition plans generally do need to be trashed. Or at least mine always did. Trash them now and replace them with something that will get done. 48 minutes ago, Jean in Newcastle said: Visitors are gone. Now to mess the house up again! (Not totally true but I do have to get some stuff that I quickly stored in the bedroom out.) We had a nice visit and lunch together. Having visitors is fun but also a bit of a hurdle for me. I really like this brother, sister in law and grown nephew. And I got to see pictures of their newest grandbaby. Oh, and dh happened to be working from home today so he was able to join us for lunch, which was really really nice. Yay for a good visit! 11 minutes ago, Slache said: I am just sick.

Critterfixer Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Did not get all the things done. Yet. The night is young. Done: School, French and Latin study for me, 2000 words written, a chapter read and a brief review done for one author, I did editing on my long short story (don't ask), did the housekeeping, and cooked that peach cobbler along with some other stuff for supper. Did two loads of laundry. Two loads of dishes. Left to do: fold that laundry, do another few loads of laundry, clean up after dinner, read another chapter for another author, critique it and mark it up, read another chapter for another author and mark it up, read another chapter for another author and comment on specific questions. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Did I tell you that my New Year's resolution was to "get out of my comfort zones"? And did I tell you what a pain in the you-know-what that is? My boss from 30 years ago passed away. I am invited to a "celebration of life" at a very exclusive very hoity toity club for the tippy top echelon of society in the Big City. My friend and co-worker from back then (and before - cuz I've known her since college) wants me to go with her. Not only am I thinking of going, but I'm thinking of taking an Uber to get there. Maybe. Did I mention what a pain in the you-know-what getting out of my comfort zone is? Can someone hold my hand? 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, there is a curriculum for younger elementary, I'm not sure which one you are talking about. If you are talking about that one, then make sure you at least read "The Year of Miss Agnes" which was an awesome book.

Don't you just hate that! We read 7 or the 10 assigned novels and they were fantastic. I wasn’t expecting them to be that great, but they really were. We didn’t read Across Five Aprils, Homer Price or Katy more for time constraints than anything. Oh, and we skipped Blue Willow, too, for that reason as well, but we had already read that book for California history, and personally, that book is one of my all time favorite of chikdren’s Literature. It is so beautiful. DS is not a fast reader at all, so we ended up doing all the books as read aloud, and they were assigned as independent reading, a couple chapters a day. I read a chapter a day and we ended up not being able to keep up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're going to our small city fireworks. At least dd and I will. The boys usually skip it. This will be Juliet's first fireworks. Libby has stopped freaking out since she's started to go deaf with old age. Tomorrow is her birthday and she turns 13. I have no idea how Juliet will react but she hasn't responded at all to the few booms we've had in the last couple of days. Which brings me to: why do people insist on setting off fireworks despite a fireworks ban? 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
