Jean in Newcastle Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Good Morning Today is what we call “grubby Sunday “ at church We all stick around afterwards and do some fall cleaning I can’t stay too long though because I have to pick up bunnies from convalescent care. Both bunnies went so that they would stay bonded, I have been so worried about Cinnamon since I heard her crying in the background when I was talking to the rabbit rescue lady. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Movepo: Yesterday I reorganized the kids room so all of their things are in larger containers and full so it's easier to move and we can just use their bins as boxes. I have six small empty bins for goodwill. Yesterday I boxed up the trains and today I'm hoping to box up all photo frames and knick knacks using baby blankets and ill-fitted clothing. It's getting real, y'all! I get to say y'all for realzies now because we're moving to Texas. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paige Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 I have failed as a parent and homeschooler. DS (17) says his backup career plan is to be a wrestler- like Randy Savage or Hulk Hogan, not like getting a wrestling scholarship to go to college.

Susan in TN Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 I made it to the library and paid $13 for an $8 book plus processing fee, for which ds13 will be paying me back. Now I can reserve all our history and literature books for the next "unit"! Then I taught the kids to make Scandinavian/Froebel stars. When everyone was at church I practiced making a Christmas Tomte (gnome) out of a baby sock. The second attempt was much more successful than the first. I told everyone to be back by 4:00 so I can make them play through the Ten Thousand Miles arrangement I made. Such torture. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Hi. Good sermon. I got a picture of him up there because he might not be preaching for a while. That woman was ranting and raving all morning because we told everyone except her that we were moving away. We told her, she's just better at talking than she is at listening. Her husband knew. Everyone knew. She's just a poopyhead. Except Facebook. Facebook didn't know. Facebook knows now. So there's that. I'm hungry. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I do not believe I have ever actually watched a football game. My husband took me to a baseball game and I went to a baseball game with my daycare. I don't like sports. At dinner I watched Alex put an entire fish fillet in his mouth and panic, not because he couldn't breathe, but because he didn't like the taste. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence the nap. I never nap. Actually, I took the perfect nap this afternoon. I didn’t just conk out like I do sometimes. I slept very lightly, I could still hear the game on the tv and the kids chattering, but I was asleep.

Critterfixer Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I am taking a week off from school. Who cares if Thanksgiving is coming up? I want it now! I walked miles and miles in the woods yesterday. I concluded that in my own way, I am as much a nature-study CM as a classical teacher, with a strong dash of let's chuck everything but math and Latin, and live off the land and the library card. But then I'm sore the next day...? Cleared 10K for NaNo yesterday. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paige Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 The one day DD has ever forgotten something for school it had to be pouring rain! But my faith in humanity has been boosted because a kind stranger saw me walking into the school with Baby and escorted us in and out with her umbrella. Even with the umbrella we were so soaked that we had to change clothes when we got back home, but it was very nice of her. Like a chump, I had parked in an actual parking spot instead of right in front of the doors so she had to walk quite a bit with us and she even stopped what she was doing to take us back to the car when she wouldn't otherwise have been going back to the parking lot. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Dinner at Krissi's tonight! I have had second sleep. With this particular cough, I find that the coughing subsides when I lay down and starts back when I am upright - the opposite of what usually happens. Other than a having a sore throat and sounding like I am coughing up a lung, I don't feel too bad. I have gotten two more playing jobs over the next couple months, so that is nice. My quartet friend is apparently happy with my playing and has been asking me first if I'm available. As long as my hands, arms, neck, spine, and brain behave themselves, this kind of free-lance playing can be a good retirement gig. I just noticed that one of the kids (probably dd12) set a Christmas themed word find and pencil on my nightstand. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Good morning! Lots to do today. I am hoping to do a few extra things today since I'm so efficient on Mondays. I think one of the reasons Mondays are so good for me is that the kids are worn out from the weekend so they're not harassing me about stuff all day. Anyway. I overslept by an hour and have to get my workout in later and I'm ready to Bible. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paige Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 And the office didn't give DD her stuff. ☹️ She goes to a different school mid-day so it was too late. I called after she called me and they said, oh we sent it and someone sent it back. That must be because they didn't send it for hours! Then when I got there to pick it up, the office said, "oh we were just going to take that." BS. They have a policy of no texting in schools but when you take things, they say, "Can you just text them to come get it?" No. Because my kids are conscientious and turn their phones off per your rules. So I took it to her other school. Let's hope they get it to her. I spoke with the office there and she seemed like she may possibly care. It's not really great for an anxious kid. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I will not be getting my steps in today. They are warning us of bad storms tonight - high winds and tornados. Dd20 said they had a tornado warning last week when she was at work in the library. They had to run through the floors and herd everyone into the bathrooms. The place is like a tornado magnet. The university was walloped by an F4 10 years ago and they have not forgotten. When they rebuilt the dorms, they made one bathroom in every dorm room a certified tornado shelter. I miss dd20. I'm going to have dd15 read storytime. They can sing something on their own. All I have to do is drive them to and from music lessons and children's choir (they both happen at the same place). I will need to Pantz at some point. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
