See, I liked it because I was one of those people who had a file folder full of everything I tore out of magazines.... recipes, gardening tips, landscaping designs, home decorating stuff. I’ve done that since I was a teenager. Pinterest is just like that, except on the computer. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I think it's interesting how we have at least three writers in this thread, all doing different things. I just (self) published another family resource. This one is a drawing translation notebook. It was in my head for a while, so I had to knock it out. Now I need to get to writing the next in the series of my beginning Spanish classes. 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a lot of science pins for camp because a lot of these kids don't seem to get a science education and I find science illustrates Biblical principles (It's a Bible camp) very well.

Wheres Toto Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 So the girl I'm dealing with for the Tech Tuesday job sent me the schedule for next year. It's all online games. That's it. Online games, then computer programs (which we already discovered don't work here because of the age range and the fact that most of the kids here have been learning this stuff in school). So, she mainly wants me to provide the instruction for things like how to write an email and the Google apps (which I rarely use). So looks like I'm going to finish up this year and then quit. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I just watered all the pumpkins in the Murder Patch. They will be the death of me. I'm in charge while the boy is gone, and I have a laundry list of "what to do while I'm gone" on the board regarding said pumpkin plants. But I can't die, because ITT. I wrote about 5000 words on my writing projects. I still have some chores to do with the chickens, some character work to write, and two pieces to read and revise, and one to read and critique. That should keep me busy for the rest of the day. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Alex is having a bad day and I accidentally made it worse. He crushed his finger and it was bruised. He asked me to blow on it but I didn't understand what he was saying. At the same time he was pulling on the loose skin caused by the crush. So I cut the loose skin off and he cried and cried and cried! He asked me to blow on his finger to make it feel better and instead I cut part of it off. Best mom ever. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
