Wheres Toto Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Today is my last day of Open Houses, next week I'm doing some camps. I'm tired but excited to really get started. Ds has been miserable all week with what we thought was allergies. Dd has now caught whatever he has//had so I'm thinking not allergies. ? We were supposed to go to a birthday party this evening but with all the coughing, sneezing, sore throat, etc. we're staying home. I haven't to find some time to clean my house. It's a lot less cluttered than it was since a lot of stuff moved to my classroom, but now I have to reorganize. I don't know when we'll start school for real since my vocabulary and writing curriculums don't seem to have even shipped yet (ordered weeks ago). We'll continue doing just math and reading for now I guess. Schools here don't usually start until after Labor Day anyway. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paige Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 (edited) Sorry I haven't been pulling my weight on this thread! I've been ignoring because we've been busy, but hi. The basement people have stopped working because we disagree about what the contract includes...hopefully that will be worked out this weekend. This is the last week of summer break and I've turned into one of those parents who's actually not that sorry about it. #sorrynotsorry DDs schedule from school has been all kinds of messed up. I've been going back and forth with them all week. Every time they fix it, they mess something else up! The most recent mistake is in her favor and I'm not sure if we should keep our mouths shut and let them try to work out the consequences later or if I should bring it to their attention because it's kind of a big deal. I'll probably tell them because I'm a square bear. I'm trying to plan a spring break point using points for flights instead of cash. We've been accumulating them for 5 years to try to get enough for everyone. Now, I'm finding that spending them is tricky. One day, the flights are there...I go and ask people if they are sure this is what they want to do, and bam- the flights are gone by the time I get back. I don't know if I should wait and see if they come back- does that happen? I mean, there were flights every day and now there's none! Or maybe I should move on to plan B, and maybe I need to line up plan C, D, E, and F and just book whatever I see the first time I see it. And no, I don't want to take a flight that leaves at 1:23 am, nor do I want to arrive in a sketchy international destination at 12:50am.

Susan in TN Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Good morning! I had bad dreams last night involving natural disasters and cannibalism and trying to get the kids to safety. Glad that's all over. I still feel out of sorts. The house is very quiet since dh took 3 of the kids to drop them off for a weekend youth group trip. I need to go to the library to pick up a book that's waiting for me (Krissi's code breaker book). The whole library system will be closed tomorrow because they are changing to a new computer system. They say they will open again on Monday, but I'm not holding my breath. ?
