prairiewindmomma Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 We've had experience with expansive clay soil. We had an engineering report done and then got bids. We were quoted $10k/pier. No fun. We ended up selling that house as it wasn't worth it to pier it---we just put the issue into the disclosures and took a $20k loss rather than a $40k repair bill. Sorry, Ellie, it's an expensive not-fun situation. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junie Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 My dad doesn't have his organ anymore, but he used to rock out in the living room with it. He was like an overgrown teenager. I remember many times coming out of my room and asking him if he could quiet down because I was trying to study. 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Good morning. My fitibit says that I slept last night. I guess I will believe her but I'm taking it totally on faith. I'm in a mild flare. I thought it was a bad flare but I always wake up in searing pain and then it dissipates in the first 20 minutes. The residual after that first 20 minutes is my daily state. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 For Susan (since I cannot find an actual recording of this song on the internet) - the song I walked down the aisle to at my wedding.

Critterfixer Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 I came. I liked. I want to go back to bed. I don't know why I'm so tired today, but I am. Work tomorrow. Writing today. Drawing. Work on school stuff. I'm going to try to talk DH into a visit to the river this weekend. I badly just need a day to sit on a bank somewhere with my toes in the water and my eyes closed. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paige Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 I'm so tired today! I think it's the approaching rain. Something about rainy days makes me want to hibernate. Baby took his nap in the car and probably wants to bounce around for a few more hours but I'm going to try to convince him to sleep. The new flooring people came by today! Here's hoping we can agree on something and get them started soon. We can't have guests until the basement is finished and DS can move out of the guest room. I need it done so I can get my babysitters here and go to Hawaii or at least before Christmas...maybe if MIL comes here we won't have to go there. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paige Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Do you all remember the difficulties we had getting DDs in an appropriate math class last year? They bombed their placement tests because they didn't have accommodations for anxiety since they weren't enrolled yet, the school refused to put them in the level I'd have put them in, and so I decided to let it go and teach them algebra on my own. One of the girls lost her motivation around April and never finished the course. She was over 3/4 of the way through but the idea of having to test was bothering her and she quit. She's happy to be retaking Algebra this fall and to be in a super easy class. The other one studied diligently all year despite also being super worried about the test. And the high school didn't even require a test! ? They just took my word for it. I said that DD had been in preAlgebra at the school, but had self studied Algebra at home with me all year and I thought she was ready. They said, "Fine." Just like that. If other DD had known, she'd probably have finished the books. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prairiewindmomma Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 FWIW, my favorite wedding music lately was the Game of Thrones theme song during the exiting of the newly married couple...

prairiewindmomma Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Edpo warning... It's Friday afternoon, so if y'all need to ignore this until Monday, I understand.... Ds is mid 500s in his math CLE. He's got a lot of issues, but he's made good progress. I'm hoping that his IEP is going to include math, but if not, we've got to figure out a transition plan to MUS, as that's what I'll use through high school to teach him. What should be my transition point? This is a kid who is going to depend on a calculator, so I'm not sure that he belongs in Zeta. I definitely don't want to do Epsilon. I'm not sure he's ready for Pre-Algebra....but maybe he is. Thoughts??? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prairiewindmomma Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Texting from my phone.... I have used MUS alpha through epsilon plus geometry with Oldest. He is using Chalkdust generic for algebra 1, 2, and now pre-calc. He needs video instruction but self-pacing as sometimes he gets stuck for a bit. He is likely going into a math based major in college. The kid I am considering MUS for has some functional vision issues, gets overwhelmed by big problem sets, needs black and white or grey scale pages and preferably a text to write in (or a scribe). He’s a slow processor and has some learning issues. We remediated some of his dyscalculia but to be honest I see him topping out at Algebra 2 (if we make it that far)...but that’s the goal. Key to... is probably the only other program I could see fitting him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiewindmomma Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 MUS covers all of the topics (if you use it for both algebra 1 and 2) but at a pace and with some simplicity that makes it seem workable. It’s actually what I would choose for myself as a decidedly non-mathy person. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple anecdotes.... one of my mathier kids went from CLE 603 (ish) to Saxon Algebra 1/2 and did very well. one of my not-so-mathy kids needed and endured the repetition of CLE and Saxon (CLE up through 400? and Saxon through 87) and is now in MUS Algebra. The first 5 or 6 lessons have been review-ish, but I think looking at the topics Mr. Demme's way has been good for her. What do you think about completing CLE 600 and then moving to MUS Algebra? Or did you want to move sooner? Do you want to use MUS Pre-algebra or avoid it or not sure? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 So I read The Well Trained Mind Third Edition cover to cover when I began to homeschool and learned afterwards that I should have read the first edition because there was a lot more how to than curriculum. I was going to read the first edition when I found out that the 4th edition was coming out and going to include it. When I got it I only read the parts I thought you were relevant to me but I just started reading it cover-to-cover and I now understand the purpose of narration copywork and dictation.
