Slache Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 The neighbor moved out. Gave me 4 black garbage bags of girls clothes. We are talking pink, purple, sparkly, unicorn, mermaid, lace, bows and all things Mooies. Sizes up to I imagine a 14 year old Mooies would need. And a bike that says girls rule. And a Pinkalicous collection. And a unicorn canopy I have to Jerry rig to her closet somehow. The boys got nothing. Ha! 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Lynn Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Well, the nice thing about Hake is that all the teaching and review is right there in the text. With R&S there is board work, oral review and I don't know what else in the teacher's book. I always hated stuff set up like that. Because I'm probably not going to do it. And then people say you don't have to do all the assignment in the text - so then I have to decide how much to do. I know Hake can get long too, but at least the mixed review is all different stuff so it feels like you're moving faster, lol. And I do like letting them write in the book, but that wouldn't work if you used it with all of them of course. #felpful 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Morning, Happy Wednesday. No camp and no jury duty so I have all day to run errands, clean house and do laundry. Until 5pm when I have tutoring. That I may need to spend 15 minutes working on before that. I'm tired today. I haven't been sleeping as well lately. I wonder if it's due to the not so good eating habits from celebrations. I kind of hope so because while it means I really need to be more careful with the three other birthdays we have coming up in the next month, it also means it's completely in my control. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel the whole thing--although in my case, I'm not nesting. More like tearing my nest apart and deciding to go live on the edge of a cliff somewhere. Revising like crazy today. I hit 116K in NaNo last night, and I think I will get to 120K before I validate sometime today. It's nice to have the win in my list, although I don't really care as long as I'm being productive. I did 120K last month and there wasn't any validation for that! But it does mean that I'm steadily bringing up my daily word count. However, August needs to be more sedate. Because nest needs to be torn apart and rebuild. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Good Morning!!!!! COFFEE!!!!~D Humph Day. Busy day. I have to have a total of 13-14 dozen zwiebach (German Mennonite bread roll thingies) for our family reunion this weekend. Specifically Sunday because I am in charge of that meal with my cousins, I have 3 dozen made already.😩 So, I guess I will be doing more baking. I am also meeting another family this afternoon. Yesterday’s meeting went splendidly. And tonight is the last high school swim night and I have to bring 2 pans of brownies and then stay and help serve dinner and clean up. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I am going to die. I was awake from 3 to 5 because Ds left at about 4:15. (He wasn't noisy. I just woke up in anticipation.).

maize Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I got dd11 off to Girls' Camp this morning, after a last minute scramble last night to get her packed and get a video audition made for the musical she wants to be in but will miss auditions for because of camp. Had to do a video audition recording for ds14 as well as he is leaving for a scouting trip tomorrow and will also miss live auditions. The funny thing is these kids have no trouble at all doing live auditions or performing live onstage but ds had a terrible time pulling himself together for the video audition--kept breaking down giggling--and dd had just as hard a time except she kept crying and curling up in a ball. Anxiety is a weird beast. Ds's birthday was yesterday but we didn't manage to fit in our traditional cake and ice cream celebration because the entire afternoon and evening were taken up with running kids to and from classes and then getting the packing and audition videos done and we still got to bed way too late. Planning to celebrate today. Or maybe not because the youth group for our old congregation is having an ice cream social for all old-and-new members (they got a bunch of new people in the boundary reorganization as well as losing a few) and the older kids might want to go. We could wait and do the birthday celebration on Sunday when everyone will be home. Logistics with a large family gets really complicated at times. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Ugh. Juliet chewed up a desiccation packet that was filled with iron powder. (It was magnetic). I have called the vet and because she got less than 1/8 of a teaspoon, the vet thinks that she will be ok. But I am keeping an eye on her because I really really don't want her to be poisoned. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 It's been a half hour with no vomiting so she's probably fine. That and it really was a tiny amount and Juliet is 58 pounds so not a tiny dog. But toxicity can develop 1 - 5 days after exposure so I won't really breathe freely until Monday. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I hate GPS and never use it. I will pull over and pull up a map to find my way if lost. But generally I look up directions ahead of time if there's a chance I may not already know where to go. I never took a nap. I ate two potato rolls (since they settle my stomach best) and drank a lot of water. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I went to the Spanish Bible study at my church again tonight. I have really been enjoying it! There was a different teacher tonight because the pastor was out of town. He is a native speaker and pretty fast. I knew that I would not be able to understand as much, but I did better than I expected. When I was talking to some of the people after the service (read: listening in on conversations that I understood very little of) I told them (in Spanish) that I was tired and not understanding anything. They laughed (not meanly) and one of the ladies said that she has the same problem at work where she is the only Spanish speaker. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 What the carp!?! I just got an email from the chamber orchestra concertmaster asking me if I wanted to do the 2nd violin bowings. Uh, why would I want to do that? Well, apparently because they made me 2nd principle and now I have to actually learn the music and lead the section. I thought I would sit in the back like last time and get to loaf around!! The chili is done and in the freezer. 5 meals worth, plus 5 vegetarian portions for dd21.
