KrissiK Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Good Morning!!! COFFEE!!!!~D I waaaaaay overslept this morning!!! I guess it doesn’t matter. Yesterday was definitely not a day of rest, so I guess I needed it. Please pray for DH’s mom. She was taken to the hospital last week, she’s got blood clots on the lungs and some nodules they biopsied, but do not have results yet. She’s got some sort of autoimmune disease, and they are worried about infection. She is still in the hospital, but she’s got a bed open at some sort of rehab place, but then on the other hand they are saying that they are relaxing their visitors protocol so grandchildren can come visit her because her condition is serious. She’s 82 years old. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellie Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 One of my sisters is in town for a couple of days. Y'all should understand that my parents were divorced when I was a baby, and I did not know my father had remarried and had children until I was about 21. I didn't meet this sister in person until last year, although we have talked on the phone (there's actually a much longer story, which maybe I'll spin for you some day). So last night was the first time ever, in my whole life, that I, the only daughter of my mother and the only granddaughter, introduced someone as my sister. ❤️ Sadly, she's having some serious marital issues, and since she lives in NC and I live here, I won't be able to do much except listen and maybe once in awhile offer some advice if she wants it, so there's that. Anyway, we might be getting together later today. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I roasted a leg of lamb from one of my own farm-raised lambs yesterday but I'm afraid to say so on my FB page because I'm afraid I'll get attacked by anti-meat forces. I'm way way way behind with all my work. I spent the morning taking pictures of goat rears and emailing them to the vet. We're having work done on our bathroom and I haven't had a bath in three weeks. (SHOWERS, people, SHOWERS, I'm not a barbarian, I just miss my soak.)

You're a real farmer now, you're going to miss a few important dates here and there, making hay while the sunshines, so on and so forth. May your bathroom be finished quickly and your goats kid before midnight! (Is that why you're taking goat bottom pictures?

Jean in Newcastle Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) Today’s crazy homeschooler update. At DD’s dental appointment this morning the hygienist told us in all seriousness that homeschooling was illegal in high school. Then she asked how I used the public school assigned materials. We tried to explain but I don’t think that she even began to understand our brand of craziness. She then asked dd what language she was learning and started to talk to us in Japanese. I have to admit that I had a little bit of trouble understanding Japanese with an Indian accent. Just different than what I am used to. It’s a crazy “illegal “ homeschooler booyah.
