maize Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 (edited) Dd16 had her first official day of work at the dojo today--actually, she's there now, I need to pick her up soon. In other news I found out that once she gets her driver's licence our auto insurance costs will nearly double.

maize Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Having kids approaching adulthood feels weird. We had to open a bank account for her today so her paycheck would have a place to go. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lots of little ducklings Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Ds12 was practicing his original piano composition this morning and singing along at the top of his lungs, "All I want for Christmas is a dog with a good old soul, a good old dog with a heart of gold..." He's breaking me down. I actually started looking up info on breeds. Got.to.stay.strong...... Also, dd9 prepared lunch today, and failed to notice that the cinnamon spice jar she used to heavily season all the bowls of applesauce was not cinnamon, but cumin. Middle of the word matters, kid. 3 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIL was so excited for us to move back to Cincinnati (which was not where we were moving, but how she always worded it) so she could get back to (back to?) doing our taxes and handling our finances, phone, groceries, and all of the other things I'm too immature to do myself.

Wheres Toto Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Morning. Happy Humph Day. After this week my first session is 1/2 over. Next session is easier since with all the holidays I get a lot of breaks. It's something like - go 2 weeks, break for Thanksgiving, go 3 weeks, break for Christmas/New Years, go 3 weeks, session is over. Of course, it's only my classes that are easier. The holidays come with their own form of chaos. I'm having dinner with my oldest tonight. Not sure where we're going, it can't be too expensive since we had a much larger than usual cell phone bill after getting new phones. The list of charges is ridiculous. I chatted with support last night to try and figure things out. They threw insurance on the bill that we didn't ask for. On one of the new phones and MIL's $20 flip phone, which made no sense. I think they make it confusing on purpose. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Youngest dd and I took a 2 1/2 mile walk yesterday. She's been telling me about some game that she doesn't play but watches videos of others playing. She's going to be a character from it for halloween. It's pretty creepy. Anime style kill game. I guess no creepier than some of the stuff I was reading at her age and it's definitely not realistic but ugh. I'm not sure what I'm going to do today. It's supposed to be super hot and humid which really affects my breathing, and I'm meeting dd for dinner so I don't want to be super sweaty. I may just do some kick-boxing or extra yoga/Tai Chi. We are going to have a 30 degree swing in temperatures from today to tomorrow. After today the rest of the week will be in the 50s/60s which I prefer, but it's also going to rain. I'm not sure I'm prepared to walk in the rain at those temperatures. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Good morning! We don't have to go anywhere until after early dinner. The kids are playing music at the Old Lady Party on Friday, so they will need to practice their quartet music at some point today. They think The Sound of Music Medley and Danzon No. 2 will be mostly ready. Church children's choir tonight. Last week was better with the seating arrangement and "waiting for parents" activity, though things still need a bit of tweaking.

KrissiK Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Good Morning!!!!! COFFEE!!!!!~D Humph Day!!!! I had too busy of a day yesterday. Taught the little girls all morning, went to the Big City and visited 3 new families, raced home, went to a BORING Neighborhood Watch meeting, did a bunch of computer work and then went to bed. Hopefully today won’t be quite as bad. I don’t have families to visit. But, I do have a lot of computer work to do, and the doctor’s office called yesterday and they have the flu shot in, so I’m packing all the kids in and we’re gonna go do that. And there’s Awana tonight. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Route 95 through Virginia is like this if you have out of state plates. I really should just not drive in Virginia anymore. It's already a running joke in my family. I've gotten tickets there every single time I drive.

KrissiK Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Lily-cat is still stuck. I imagine she will come down when she gets hungry enough. She’s not a kitten, she’s a full grown cat. I keep telling her to turn around and go bottom first, holding on with her claws, but she just looks at me and says, “get the ladder, woman, and get me down.” Ain’t gonna happen.

maize Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Dd16 got a last minute invitation to attend a professional production of Phantom of the Opera for free, with a group from a homeschool co-op we don't belong to that had an extra ticket. She agonized over the decision--unique opportunity, and friends would be in the group. But... she would have to miss a karate class. Never mind that she would be attending at least six karate classes this week, not to mention the ones she will be teaching. Karate won out. This child always had been a wee bit single minded. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
