KrissiK Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Good Morning!!!! COFFEE!!!!!~D Monday!!!!😩😩😩😩😩 I woke up at 4:45 this morning. The time change threw me off. But, I dozed for an hour and I am up now, with COFFEE!!!~D, the cats are in and I am ketchupping. Staff meeting at my house today. We have our monthly staff meetings at teachers’ homes, since we don’t have a brick and mortar workplace. It’ll be a potluck lunch. I cleaned my kitchen really good last night and now this morning I’ll just have the girls do what they can independently while I tidy up the rest of the house. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I swim in the sea quite often but very carefully in general. Sometimes I love the way threads go off topic and turn into really interesting and nuanced discussions. But, I always hate the idea that there is only one right way to do something and if you don't do it this exact way you are lazy, ignorant, and it's not worth doing at all so you should just stop. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I live in one of those houses where everything seems to be breaking down. There are so many things I'd like to do or that truly NEED to be done but who knows when any of it will actually happen. It's discouraging sometimes. We don't school on birthdays. All our birthdays are over the summer and we do school year round, but never on birthdays. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of these days, I'll learn my lesson but it doesn't appear to be today. I think it also depends on how thick of a skin you have. If you enjoy a spirited discussion and don’t mind a few jabs, then go for it. That is not me and I stay away from that stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lots of little ducklings Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 We finally finished school, really late today, and everyone cheered about the hour of free time before track/choir. How is free time being spent? DS12 is writing DD10 and DD9 are fighting over who gets the piano for extra practice DD7 is reading and DS5 dragged his Miquon math and the c-rods over to me and begged to do "just one more page." 3 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I hated going to the laundry mat. Only good thing about it was time to sit and read uninterrupted (except by the clothes). Eating a quick dinner before we head out to 4-H. Ended up skipping the gym during dd's TKD today because it turned out ds DOESN'T have lace-up sneakers that still fit him (contrary to what he said last week), and I had to finish setting up for an escape room for tonight and I'm still hoarse and feel like I can't breathe so working out is probably not a good idea anyway. Both kids needed a lot of help with math today. Not surprised with dd but I was a little surprised at ds. But as they pointed out, they hadn't done math in almost 2 weeks so they needed to get back into it. So no more long breaks. Math every day. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 The laundromat isn’t so bad. Most people here are nice though there is the occasional sketchy person. The manager just offered me Halloween candy that she had gotten for 75% off. I didn’t accept (too hard to verify if it is gluten free) but that was really kind of her. The hardest thing here is the cigarette smoke smell which gives me a headache even though no one is actually smoking. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maize Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 28 minutes ago, Servant4Christ said: The thing I used to love about going to the laundry mat is that you can do way more laundry in a fraction of the time with multiple washer/dryers. Before children, DH and I had a date at the laundry mat every weekend and when we were done there wasn't a dirty linen or piece of clothing in the house. This is why I have two washers and two dryers. Not quite like an entire laundromat but I don't have to drive anywhere either. I count putting in the extra hookups as one of the best decisions I ever made. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone else’s hair fall out a lot in the shower? It sorta freaks me out. Tons. Tons and tons and tons. Between me and dd, our shower gets clogged very quickly. If I run my hands through my hair, I get handfuls. I do have very thick long hair and often will go a couple days never taking it out of a ponytail, so I figure I'm pulling out at least a day or two worth at a time.

Wheres Toto Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I've been raiding the kids candy. They don't have much that's good though. I just had a few baby snickers. They have a ton of plain M&M's because that's all ds will take. But he doesn't eat them, he'll only eat the mini M&Ms these days. He's weird. I think I'm PMS'ing because I've been wanting to eat all the junk lately.

Wheres Toto Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 (edited) Escape room went well but the kids needed more help than I expected. They were extremely scattered and unorganized. We did a debrief with a recommendation that they work together and not just run around randomly next time. We're going to do another one at the December meeting right before the holiday break.
