73349 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Morning. Last day of testing here. Happy Shakespeare Day. (If you haven't seen Patrick Stewart doing the sonnet readings, now's a good time to check that out.) MIL canceled the hotel reservation. She is sad. DS is their only grandchild and they only get to see him twice a year. I'm hoping we will be able to reschedule in May. New medicine is not helping a bit. I'm wearing my watch today. Feels a bit fancy. Disinfect your device and wash your lovely hands, dears! ❤️ Have a good day. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Morning. I definitely agree on the pointlessness of planning. I should be taking this time to prepare classes for the fall but not knowing what's going to happen it's hard to get motivated. We're doing pretty good with homeschooling since that's definitely continuing. I am rearranging the science center, which also seems somewhat pointless but I always liked reorganizing. Today is my oldest daughter's 26th birthday. I don't think she's feeling too great these days either. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can tell that Lynn's kids haven't been swimming. 😞 Lynn (and her coffee) used to be the first one here every morning. Awwww, thanks for thinking of me. I've started trying to get a walk in every day which throws off the routine a bit depending on when I do it. But with no where to go later in the day, everything stretches out longer than it used to. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junie Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Testing is finished. Now I have to get everything ready to take to the (potentially) germ-infested post office. Also, it has been 10 days since we've gotten groceries, so I need to start finalizing my shopping list. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junie Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) Apparently, today is Take Your Child to Work Day. This year that concept has been taken to a new level. I'm trying to get dh to take all of the girls with him into ds19's room while he teleworks. So far, I have not been successful. :) ETA: A Work at Home with Your Kids Booyah!!

You can pay for and print a shipping label on the USPS website and have them pick it up from you.

There's a specific mailing envelope that I need to use, and I'm supposed to insure it. Our post office is literally one of the smallest ones in the country.

Susan in TN Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 I wasn't feeling great earlier and then I remembered that I was probably just tired. Felt better after a catnap. No actual cats involved. I made an experimental foil campfire dinner in the oven - french fries, cheese, andouille sausage, and corn-on-the-cob. Not bad, but took a long time to cook in the 450* oven. Then we watched Groundhog Day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Lynn Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Good Morning! I lost count of the coffee scoops this morning, erred on the side of one too many, and then realized it was a little strong during my first cup and added more water to the rest. I took youngest dd to a Birthday car parade for one of her friends yesterday evening. Everyone drove by her house twice with signs, balloons, honking. Before it started, we spoke to one friend outside our car and then another from inside our car. So wonderful and weird at the same time to see friends. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junie Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Good Morning! Happy Friday! A little bit of homeschooling (with a headache, of course), this morning. Then a zoom Bible study. Then a nap.

Susan in TN Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Good morning! It's Friday! Slept until breakfast. I had a weird dream about moving into a dorm with the whole family - the room had very high ceilings but there was no bathroom. And random people kept wandering in and leaving their stuff. Our Celestial binoculars should be arriving today! Also a couple mini tent-lanterns and a ukulele neck strap. I had a tussle with the printer earlier because it refused to print with paper from the lower compartment. Stupid thing. I refrained from kicking it. I should pantz.

I'm making PDF form worksheets DS can do on the computer that correlate with his history and science for next year--I've completed 5 of what will probably need to be about 80 of them. (REALLY hoping his day camp in July is still able to run so I have that week to work on school stuff.)

Wheres Toto Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Morning. I'm still sitting on the couch having my tea. It's icky and rainy today so I'm trying to decide if I really need to go by the science center. My ankle hurts a lot today so I don't know if I'll do yoga either way so I might as well just stay home. Animals were loaded up yesterday so they will be fine. My mom and oldest daughter are coming over tomorrow for dinner. They are part of our "bubble" since the beginning. I probably should clean the bathroom and maybe the kitchen before they come over. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 That was a great webinar, WH. I was wondering how that could translate into a resource for my school parents. Are those webinars recorded and accessible? The system looks similar to the one I took years ago with Writing With Kris at a homeschool convention. Everyone has their own ways of tweaking things, but this system is not new to me. It’s an excellent system and I would like to buy the book, but I am wondering how to make this accessible, digestible and doable for my homeschool parents who are committed to homeschooling, but are not gung -ho, die-hard, denim-skirt wearing, curriculum researching people. KWIM? Oooops, I forgot the EdPo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a much cheaper option for this number of books, but I do really prefer hard copies. How many points for multi-quoting myself?
