ikslo Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Our microwave at our last house was duct taped. I finally broke down and bought a replacement door, then watched YouTube videos on how to replace. Don’t know why I waited. Super easy, then worked/looked like new. It was so we could sell. 🙂 Also, toilet seats. Wanted to change them since day 1 but never did. Changed them to sell and was like ????why did I wait???? 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would have rescheduled the C-section, but I had already started labor. I believe we had nine phlebotomists before we could get it done. I had been vomiting constantly for days and was incredibly dehydrated. The kept apologizing. It wasn't their fault.

She got a .25 mile ride and was probably pissed there was a minimum fee and tried to get out of it. People do nasty things. Once someone asked him to make a stop way out of the way and then told Lyft he took a convoluted trip to make more money and he wound up having his pay taken away. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sister and her high school boyfriend did this once on a romantic date. In late June. They called in the fire department because they didn't realize they were supposed to open a flue first. The firemen didn't know what was funnier: not knowing there's a flue, or lighting a fire on a hot June afternoon in an effort to be romantic. My mom still laughs at her about it. 😆 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am bundled up and looking forward to reading the bio of George HW Bush. I started it the other night. It’s really good. I read a book about foreign policy during his presidency a few years ago--specifically about relations with the USSR. It described how he would agonize over every decision as there was so much uncertainty about how one diplomatic move would impact a hole house of dominoes. Also, I got to meet him and Barbara when they came to Paris in, um, probably Nov 1990. I was 12 years old and thoroughly impressed; I shook his hand twice and put his autograph in my journal 🙂 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASD Boy likes it and does well with it because it is predictable. The rest of us made it partway through 54 and 76 ready to claw our eyes out! I’m looking at Dimensions and Primary, too. I like the MIF TM and how it has reference back pegs at the beginning of each chapter. I need a good TM. Dimensions hasn’t printed Grade 5 yet. Primary TM’s are hard for me to use. I need lots of pictures. Hmmm! Very interesting! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was growing up it was such a school holiday and I feel kind of bad because my little girls aren’t in school and so they can’t have that fun. I wonder if schools even celebrate anymore. DH and I ignore it. The idea of it is fine and I do like pink and red, but it is kind of overblown and forget about going to dinner. Today our charter has off and I was looking forward to getting all sorts of work done because I a, very behind, but I have to take DS to a funeral.

How this week has gone has made me wonder if that’s more of an issue with Twilight Sparkle than a LD. We went back to fractions and she picked it up immediatley, easy peasy. But then she had a complete meltdown because I upped her cursive to copywork from a book instead of my example, so it made me wonder if justhaving something that looks hard makes her brain freeze up and then attempts to help her or make her work just Overwhelm her and make her melt down. I don’t know. Sometimes I wonder what she would be like in school, if she would be an absolute mess or if maybe she would develop more coping mechanisms bc maybe I’m coddling her in some way. I really don’t know. I guess I’m kind of hoping she grows outof it a bit. Her sisters were similar but notquite as intense, and theydid get a little less so as they got older. Yes. John likes the stability and constantly getting (most) review questions correct. While it teaches a ton of concepts it does so in a very streamline way. I would call it boring but he says it's the most fun math he's ever had, I believe because it's the first math he's truly understood. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maize Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 My oldest was anxious about math because she would be paralyzed over the possibility of getting a wrong answer. I eventually got the idea of paying her for every answer we checked that was wrong, which helped her get past the paralysis. She never did get very many wrong answers 🙂 Some kids I'm sure would have milked that system by getting wrong answers on purpose, but my perfectionist kids tend to also be perfectionist/compulsive about honesty. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe I'm just in a cushion of detachment and shouldn't question the blessing, lol. An alternative perspective: Having one that entailed a near-death experience can create a desire to obsess over keeping that sole little chick safe and well. Or so I think I've heard.
