Junie Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 The closet is done!! Stuff has been relocated to the basement, ds19's room, the goodwill pile and the trash bins. The bedroom is not done yet, but is much better. We are ordering a bookcase and a dvd/media tower to help solve the overflow problems. I will probably have to purge some books. Waah! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then i came home and cut ds9’s hair like he’s been asking (because im done with the amateurs that have taken over our Sport Clips, yet cannot justify what my lady charges for boy haircuts to take him there nor the drive). He was starting to look like Wolverine though so I finally just did it. It looks great if I say so myself and we are both happy. This is my Goodnight 🌙 , Goodnight room post because great tequila and Hiving don’t mix. Have a lovely evening ladies and may the babies be sweet and sleepy. Sure they do!

If you plan to re-read TWTM the 1st and 4th editions are the most recommended. They have more how to. Check out the pinned threads on the boards for nuts and bolts on homeschooling. I'm Slache, but we do nicknames on ITT so I'll be Slash, Where's Toto will be Toto, etc. Myblessings4 is Angi. Her birth name is Myblessings4, but that's just too much for us. I have DS9, DD7, DM(onkey)4 and DS3weeks, but I call them by their names because I'm a horrible and careless mother. He is indeed. But I most strongly identify with McGonagall - including the severe top bun. However, I couldn't think of a name I liked that referenced her - and I love Hagrid's title, Keeper of Keys and Grounds at Hogwarts. So I took his title and Minerva's picture. I'm not famous for rule-following (part of the reason I didn't love my own experience in public school).

Wheres Toto Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Morning. Happy Sunday! Our weather reports and the NOAA all say it's a Sunny 87 degrees but the extremely cloudy sky is making a lie of them all. Dh is heading down to help his mom again. She has another doctor appointment about her heart surgery on Tuesday. This time he's taking my car because he doesn't want to drive the big-a$$ Suburban into Philly (can't blame him for that). I'm working on classes, cleaning, planning school. My usual. My life is boring. But only two weeks until my classes start and I have a feeling it's going to be a lot less boring then. I just spent over $800 on supplies to start the year. 😵 Which I guess really isn't THAT much, but it sure seems like a lot when you push that Order button. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if you want chewy instead of crunchy, use brown sugar instead of white. Good luck with your second batch! The second batch was better - I added more flour to firm up the dough a bit and also halfway through baking, used a silicone spoon to scootch the edges toward the middle and shape them up a bit. Is “scootch” not a word? My phone doesn’t think so. Maybe I’m spelling it wrong. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the real challenge with a large family. It doesn't take having a ton of stuff per person for the stuff to add up quickly when there are nine people! We turned our garage into living space, which gives us close to 2000 square feet. But of course we lost storage space that way. Turns out 222 sq ft per person is easily overwhelmed by a person's allotment of stuff. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I seem to remember just snippits of stories or something? I could be remembering wrong, but I hated it in school when we would have to read part of a story.

Only bad thing is they didn't have some stuff I wanted and I don't know if that's because Sunday is a bad day for shipments or what. It is the first or last day of their sale cycle so I guess that could be a problem.
