Junie Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 I had to wait until the first couple of plays of the game to decide who to root for. Was I disappointed when the Buccaneers had to punt? Nope. So apparently I'm rooting for the Chiefs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 This game is not going the way I had hoped. Mahomes has not been playing well and is getting no protection from his line. At least the half-time show was decent. Didn’t really like the underwear on the faces on the dancers, but, overall it was fine. I ate too many nachos. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Hi! I like snow. But, I usually don't have to drive in it anyway, so there's that. We got together with a couple of homeschool friends today so they could break a piñata with my daughter for a late happy birthday celebration. I hate parties, so we've always said that our kids can have one every 10 years. Gymnast turned 10 in January, and of course there was no party. I didn't realize how much it affected her until she broke down crying a couple of weeks ago about how this year has started out as the worst. The lack of party was just one thing. So, decided to get a pinata and invite a family I knew that is as careful as we are (her family is high-risk), and one other mom and her only (high-risk) daughter came as well (at first friend's house in the hills). They get along so well. I don't ever hear them fighting. If there is a disagreement, they figure things out pretty amiably. I have the youngest son on the potential husband list for Gymnast. Along with an ITTer's son... In health news, I've been able to breathe clearly for a few weeks now. That's been pretty nice. Gasping for air several times a day was getting kind of old. Edpo: We've found a couple of online classes that Gymnast likes. There is a STEM class held in Spanish through a school in Mexico City that she just started last Wednesday. She really liked it and it's hands-on. I had to get materials... One of the things I need though is chicken wing bones, so I'll need to put those on the menu this upcoming week. The other class is a Christian Chinese conversation class. I think it was motivating to her to have other students in a small class learning Chinese. I think that's about it for now as I really need to go to bed. I only have to teach for Rosetta Stone tomorrow, in the morning, and I'm hoping to make a dent on the disaster I call my home. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 (edited) Dh went to agility class with Juliet and I today. Juliet did really well. She's really figured out the chute (a cloth tunnel that they have to push through). She was behaving perfectly until I asked dh to take some pictures. He got out his camera and Juliet immediately started showboating! She would do an obstacle and would then dash over to him as if she were saying, "Did you get that one? How'd I do?" a showboating booyah! Edited February 8, 2021 by Jean in Newcastle 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Jean - you got the booya! Morning. It's Monday. It's going to be sunny but super cold and I have to shovel snow before class since dh is away. He'll be home later today but I have to clear the path before students arrive. I'm teaching 4 classes today but not super hard ones. Two are always "paper" based so not messy at all and one of those is by Zoom so I could come home and do it from here. The other two have messy potential (Environmental Science and Physics) but we are doing "paper" based activities there too for today. So, very little set up or clean up for today's classes. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junie Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Good Morning! Happy Monday! Monthly Lab Day! How ironic that on the day Toto isn't doing messy labs, that's the one day we're going to. I am still not excited about doing labs (and neither are the girls) but I think that it's a good thing for us. And once a month feels do-able. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Good morning! It's The Queen's favorite day! Chester slept peacefully in the living room all night again. Did not wreak any havoc that we can see. I finally got my ipad from dd14 who was writing up a little thing for scouts on a local environmental issue. Back to lessons, you! Now I'm paused at the kitchen table to ITT with a load of laundry heading downstairs. Coffee! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 (edited) Morning. I'm alive per ITT. Good thing the rules say nothing about having to be awake, in a good mood, or ready to attack the day. Got to catch up on house things, work on writing, get stuff sent out, and keep up with the dog's blood sugar today. She's getting a curve on her lower dose, and I swear to goodness, she's going to make me rip my hair out before I get her regulated. Although, that could be a good thing. I need a haircut.

Wheres Toto Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 So the realtor who volunteered to run me a report on spaces in the area (when I called about a specific space that ended up not being available) kept pushing this one space. It was outside my preferred area but not by too much (a problem for me more than most of my students) but he said it met all our other criteria and kept pushing me to come see it. I asked for more information - specific rent, floor plans, additional fees, etc. before running out there to see it. He sent me that information today. It's $8 per square foot higher than my range. The rent alone would be about $1700 more a month than something in my range. Why don't people ever listen to/read the details? 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Servant4Christ Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Morning all. Sorry I'm so sporadic these days. Life is very busy here and I sometimes just don't have the patience or time required to load this thread. It's not the site login or any other thread on here, just this one. So sometimes I have the time and patience and other times I don't. Working on my 2nd cup of coffee while laundry is doing it's thing in the washer and dryer, one ear listening to Oldest read his history lesson aloud while I'm sitting with Middle and half watching Curious George and nursing Newbie.... All this while simultaneously trying to ITT. Yes, I used ITT as a verb. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Yay for puzzles! I love educational puzzles. So a phase of Chester's training that I am starting on is having him "do things" like sit or whatever when there are other people around, like neighbor kid or out at the park. Today I actually got him to sit when there was a park groundskeeper 20 yards away and Pup absentmindedly gave me a fist-bump as if to say "I totally don't care what you want - there is a Guy over there and I need him to be my best friend so just get this over with".

I had a dentist appointment that I (and others) had to continually remind myself to go to. I remained in my hygienist’s Excellent Oral Hygiene Club.

There are a bunch of snowflakes scheduled for next week which will probably amount to nothing. It is an unusually cold February. I blame The Groundhog. Hold onto your hats, East Coast!
