Ds13 has a cello lesson with The Professor. But first, I need pantz so I can go to Aldi. If I can get ready in time, I might be able to work on some Swedish and Finnish fiddle tunes beforehand. Coffee! Finnish fiddle tunes sound amazing. I need to get back into guitar. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egao_gakari Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Kids are tackling their independent work. Had a quick 'n' easy BFSU lesson (they're never as bad as I build them up to be in my mind) and now I'm resting peacefully on the couch trying to encourage myself to try that translation thing again. I've been so fatigued the last couple days! May need a nap. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73349 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I have concerted and familied and beached and we're having all the fun and I'm so, so tired. BFF is in town like 3 more days and wants to spend 2 of them at museums with us. I told DS I'd take him to a movie. Do I coffee now, or try to take a nap during quiet time later? I think I'd better coffee. I'm a terrible napper. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I am calm, I am cool, I am collected. I answered calmly and kindly in the midst of tantrums and “I hate math” and “I don’t want to do this” and “you hate me”. I even cracked small jokes and waited patiently. My jaw hurts from clenching my teeth. I deserve a huge trophy and a trip to the ITT Island and a place on the beach where I lay and drink many brightly colored drinks with little umbrellas in them. 6 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egao_gakari Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 1 out of 2 classes cancelled, 1 out of 2 kids' sports cancelled due to bad weather (the other one will likely be cancelled as well I think, as we've got pretty severe weather today) and 1 ice cream cake purchased for my hardworking hubby. Probably have to rethink dinner, as it was supposed to be hamburgers on the grill. I don't think that's gonna happen in this downpour. Also, 1 fit of grouchiness at DD, who threw away some perfectly good, expensive gluten-free bread that I had left on the counter to thaw for my lunch. "If it's out on the counter, I'm going to think it's trash. It's my job to keep the kitchen clean, remember?" I don't think I was able to persuade her that actually, she was in the wrong here for not asking before throwing away. She's quite sure it's mostly my fault for leaving it out. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sitting in my dark hole, but listening to the movie in the front room. I printed out my stuff for writer's meeting tonight. Read it through. Guys, it's danged good stuff.
