KrissiK Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 There is a nest of baby birds around here somewhere. I keep hearing all this “cheep- cheep -cheeping”. I need to look for it. And make sure the cats stay in the house. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 We have robins in the rhododendron bush right outside ds's window. It overlooks the driveway and whenever we come in or out, mommy and/or daddy try to lure us away from the tree. We have robins in one of the rhododendrons every year. I think this is the first time they're in ds's bush, usually they are in the one outside dd's window. We also have blue birds nesting in one of our bird houses. They also come every year. We also usually have house wrens in another of our bird houses. I'm tired. Today was such a long day. Tomorrow's not bad at the science center - just two classes and I'm making slime in both. I will only do slime once a year and we do three different recipes and compare stickiness, viscosity, firmness, and stretchiness for each one to decide which is the best. I do have my stem coordinator position tomorrow night but we are doing fluorescence which is something I've done a million times by now so I pretty much could do it in my sleep. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Good morning! St. Junie of the Recorder Concert! I dreamed last night that we went to dh's family reunion at the house he grew up in, which was a typical small ranch-style house, but it had 9 stories and a metal spiral staircase. And Gymnast was there playing the most beautiful song on her violin. A squirrel stole an unripe strawberry yesterday and sat right in front of me and the back window to nibble it. Little smart-aleck! I have to run to a grocery store this morning to pick up a couple things for the concert reception tonight. The girls are going to make lemon poundcake mini (muffin) cakes. Kids' orchestra concert tonight. Dd20 has her last finals today and I will go pick her up from the university tomorrow. She'll only be home 2 weeks before she goes back to work there for the summer. Sigh. Coffee! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 I had a severe backache last night. But I had medicine! So I am mostly recovered this morning. Took the boys to the river for fishing and boating yesterday, and they are a little extra snapping turtle this morning because I refuse to go anywhere today until writers' meeting tonight. Turtle soup is a thing. I can certainly find plenty for them to "do". 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Our library has a 100 book hold limit. Back in the very old days when my kids were little and I was basically writing my own version of TOG, I would max out four library cards on holds. I would pick them up in a rolling suitcase. I had a shelf all to myself at the library. I was frequently pointed out to new staff during orientation. Now I am a slacker and only get a few books at a time. I miss the old days. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Speaking of books, it's story time! Right now we're reading through a collection of fairy tales called Tales of Wonder, edited by Brian Philips. It's the first edition and could've used a bit more proof reading for typos. It has some discussion questions along with each story, some of which are a bit silly if your child has ever heard the story before, and generally not as thoughtful as I expected. We are enjoying it anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maize Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) I am so burned out after this year, more from dealing with kids enrolled in school and keeping up with schedules and homework and all the driving than anything else. Going back to homeschooling everyone next year though the oldest two may still have some outside classes and we will still do extracurricular stuff. ETA it's a kick burnout to the curb Booyah!

They would be perfect to take the edge of the noise at a recorder concert. They are called Downbeats and I bought them on Amazon. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would be perfect to take the edge of the noise at a recorder concert. They are called Downbeats and I bought them on Amazon. My headaches are much better this year. Yesterday's was one of the worst ones I've had in a while. I have recently discovered that dampening noise in a lot of cases actually makes my headache worse. My brain fights to figure out what is being said or what a certain noise is that I can almost hear. If someone is playing music in the house or is having a whispered conversation, my brain tries to figure it out. I would actually prefer for them to be loud enough to actually hear what song they are playing or what they are talking about. Silence is golden, but muffled noises are torture. 😞 I'm sorry that you have migraines, too. They are miserable. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
