Junie Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 It's not fall yet. I will hopefully get out our decorations before the end of October. (Fall decorating is about 5 items that takes less than a minute to put out. The hard part is finding the right box in the basement.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I'm done working for the day. It's 9:15 pm. I'll relax a while then go to bed since I am meeting dd at 7:30 tomorrow morning. I need to do some work setting up computers for classes, then finish up the planning for my last 4 classes. Two are pretty much done I just need to check things and print things. One is outlined and just needs some fill-in but that's a twice a week class so more work anyway. And one I've barely started but is similar to other classes so I can probably cannibalize those ones at least a little bit. I keep feeling like I"m forgetting something and it's driving me crazy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told dh I want the personal organizer lady to come again before Christmas, or maybe I'll see if HappySmiley will let me hire her for two days to come change my life, but this might be a stand in for free...........but they had a picture of colors or pencils organized by color, and I'm sort of skeptical because that would last like two second in this house. The little girls have their colored pencils organized into two pencil cups -- one for warm colors and one for cool. That has worked well for years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 You can make floats with Diet Coke, so I assume that you can do the same with Diet Pepsi. A long time ago, I worked at a McDonald's and one of the summer promotions was Coke floats. We even had the fluted Coke glasses.

Tex - No help on the organization front. I have great mental organization. But then there are too many people in my house for me to implement and enforce it. So we just do the mad scramble before people come over.

It is clean now and my kitchen no longer stinks. Rotting vegetables are the worst! I've occasionally had potatoes get lost and rot in my pantry--smells like a dead body is somewhere in the house. The other horrible stench is when someone uses a towel to wipe up spilled milk then doesn't wash the towel right away--by the next day the house smells like a sewer. At least now when I smell something awful I know too check for potatoes or milk towels! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I watched two episodes for you, because #research. The format is a 45-minute show divided into two parts, one at a celebrity's house (1st one was Reese Witherspoon's closet of costumes, etc.) and the other for "regular people." I mostly fast-forwarded through the celebrity bits. They do a good job making use of space and organizing things in an attractive way. Apparently they're big on Instagram (I don't have an account), and also have a blog, books, etc. So maybe a bit helpful. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have a headache (bad) but unlike yesterday, I'm not falling asleep in the middle of the day (good!) The kids are cooking something with my SIL... I think zucchini muffins or something, and they are disquieted by the presence of the zucchini, lol. I feel a little bad, because my kids find my presence immensely unexciting, so they gravitate towards whichever other adults are around -- I mean, mom is always around, lol, she's boring. Whereas SIL's kid wants only her because she works full time. So then she winds up watching all the kids if she's accessible... I don't see what I can do about it, though. (Currently her kiddo is napping, anyway. So it's not so bad.) Sorry about your headache. I hope you feel better. And I wouldn't worry about your kids wanting to spend time with their aunt. I think it's important for kids to have good relationships with extended family. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junie Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 All of our relatives live out of state, so time with them is rare. But I absolutely think that homeschooled kids especially need time with other (good, approved by parents) adults. I told our youth pastor that I would never help with youth activities because I wanted our kids to have some time away from me. I wanted them to have a space where they could not worry about mom looking over their shoulder at every little thing they were doing. And my kids have appreciated that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junie Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 We don't have cable so I can't really watch football. Plus, there's no one to watch it with.

I've seen it where the sink is in the bedroom and the shower and toilet are in a separate room, and I've seen bathrooms where the toilet has its own little room. That just feels weird to me. I understand that that is illogical, but I don't like it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
