Junie Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 And now I'm reminiscing... I didn't exactly mind sitting next to Matt A. except for the day that he brought in a milk jug full of honeybees that he would shake to get them stirred up. :svengo: And the day that he blew talcum powder all over me in art class. In fifth grade my desk was part of an "island" with two boys in my class. I gave them candy on a regular basis and they became my friendly protectors from the mean girls. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Happy Saturday. I slept in while dh and oldest dd went looking at cars again. She bought a CRV and is very happy. I'm happy she's driving something more reliable than her old car. I worried. Now I get to worry about her making sure she makes her car payments. I'm doing laundry and preparing classes today. Going to my moms for dinner tomorrow. Turkey not ham since we aren't big fans of ham. I don't do any of the cooking. We're also not coloring eggs, doing a hunt or giving the kids baskets. We're lame. and they're old. I moved from one school to another halfway through kindergarten. I remember the room vaguely but that's about it. I don't really remember much of my early days. I think I spent a lot of time living in my head. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 I have two 4-hour test rating shifts today. It gets a bit boring, so I'm glad the shifts are two hours apart. I'm currently listening to 100 Must-have Bach Masterpieces (Amazon Prime) to help me concentrate. I slept 8 hours last night.

I've read my share of 7th grade essays. The ones that only need a bit of punctuation here and there, or fix a run-on sentence are fine. It's the ones where you can not even begin to figure out how to fix the sentence and it's better if they just throw the whole thing away and start over... those are tough. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bummer was I was going to keep it super convenient, but they didn't have Bob Evans mashed potatoes, so I've got to put a little more effort in. Oh well. I'm eating a quick lunch before I write out my time table for cooking this afternoon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 We are between services - next one starts in about 5 minutes. The landscaping at the church is about 80% finished, so we now have a nice path and patio for gathering. And the weather is perfect today! I had a bit more coffee, so that should hold me until we get home around 1:00ish. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
