KrissiK Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I sat through an IEP and then went to the grocery store. I ran into my cousin there and we chatted a while. She’s a crack up. They had flour at the grocery store, too. Yay!! Score!! And I went to the strawberry stand and got a bunch of berries. Yummy! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maize Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 The virtual charter my kids participate in is hiring for a parent support specialist position. I think it will be a bit similar to what Krissi does. I'm gonna apply because it would be a super awesome job. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klmama Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Bummer. Do you have duct tape? Maybe some of that colorful kind people use for crafts. She could make them look quite festive. Kids actually use it to make prom dresses. Have you seen that yearly competition? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Good Morning! Happy Tuesday! More testing today. I found out yesterday that our library has opened up its subscription to ancestry.com so that it can be used at home. You may never see me again... (j/k) Within minutes of opening it up last night I found out that my grandfather had a sister who died at age 3 days that we had never known about. It happened long before he was born, so it's likely that he never knew about her either. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 First cup of tea. Make of that what you will. I had a good day at the lake yesterday, but it's time to get back to steady revising today. Also cleaning and reading to do, and getting a front flowerbed ready for some edible landscaping. I've been putting that off, and I'm liable to scare up some snakes today. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Morning. Having my tea. Changed up breakfast in the hopes it doesn't make me nauseous today. I have one Algebra student today. I did yoga for the first time in ages yesterday. I think I need to get back to that. I was feeling like I needed to do it in the morning but now I think I should just do it at whatever time I'm at the science center. I have to head over in less than an hour and I think dh took my car this morning. He had to run into work to pick up some readings off the HPLC. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Good morning! Critter, I think your rain is headed here. I went to Kroger instead of Aldi for weekly shopping this morning, and you would not believe all the TP they had! TWO different brands - in mega packs! And 6 different hand soaps! I found 2 different flavors of Lara bars that don't contain cashews. The banjolele refirb is coming along. Apparently instruments made "way back when" had different sized tuning peg holes and such, so dh is having to do a bit of jerry-rig-luthiering.

I have neither tools nor strength to rip it out. I think I’m going to go with copying my last house’s yard but flipping it because this bed is already wide on the left side. I’m probably going to skip the tall plants in the back, too. This is not a big bed or house. I think too many plants will overwhelm it. Priority for this year is front and side yard rock dug up/redistributed, trees trimmed, grass growing, and bed reshaped. I’m not sure if I will have time to get plants in before it’s so hot they die. The bed now is like a hill- low in front than high than low again towards the house. I thought draining was supposed to be away from the house? What can I do about the ivy from the neighbors yard that is taking over one side of mine? Impressive! I would have to live somewhere 20 or 30 years before I would decide to work that hard on the yard, lol. 🤣 50 minutes ago, Servant4Christ said: I changed Oldest's English assignment and threw down a challenge. The lesson was on describing a person and had questions/helps to guide the student. I challenged him to describe someone we know and offered a reward for following the lesson's guidelines if I could guess who he described. DH and I both laughed when we read his description. He described ME! He included my eye color, exact age, and that I'm pregnant. 🤣 I bet he really liked the competitive angle!

Then I’d (jokingly) make sure they knew I have really crappy old tools that will probably spread a fungus to their ivy, so they are better off doing themselves if they like their ivy. Then I would put up a barrier of some sort to prevent further spread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard a game being played on the radio called "What Day Is It" and the caller has to say what day it is. 😁 So dh wants me to make alternate Plans for the Great Western Road Trip, just in case. The Great Smokey Mountains would be a logical choice, except its not West. Any ideas? California is too far, I think, though we're currently going as far as AZ. Must involve (car) camping and hiking.

KrissiK Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Good Morning!!!!! COFFEE!!!!!! Day!!! I feel like I am living in one of those dystopian societies. I hate that there is no future. There’s nothing. I was talking last night to a very old friend and we were wanting to get together with another old friend, but the conversation was very bizarre because we couldn’t make any plans. We all live kind of far apart now and I was suggesting lunch somewhere in the middle this fall, but even then.... the future isn’t just hazy anymore. It’s not there. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
