Susan in TN Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Good morning! I am contemplating tasks for the day. The Two Youngest want to help their friend with an Eagle project this afternoon. I need label a couple boxes and have the boys help get them into the attic. And I wanted to try making GreenBean's biscuits again today. And get started on dd19's taxes. And order a dress for dd15.

Wheres Toto Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Morning, Happy Saturday. I slept in a little bit today, until almost 10am. This weekend, I get to dust ds's new floor, dust his furniture so it can go back in his room, then if dh oils the new living room walls, maybe put stuff back into the living room. I want to do it slowly, carefully while going through things to possibly get rid of some stuff and have what is kept nicely organized. That's the dream. I don't have any prep for classes for next week but do want to spend some time getting things planned out for the remainder of the year, so I can then do plans for the summer. One of these days, things are going to be all planned out and I'll have actual free time when I'm not teaching or doing business paperwork. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 We did the chores yesterday so we can go to Six Flags this afternoon.

I am not sure what I have planned for the day. I need to go to Target and serf they have anything resembling an appropriate swim suit for the girls. We are going to the beach on Thursday.

Jean in Newcastle Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 I put down cardboard and did three wheelbarrows - which is the amount that covered it. In order to continue down that direction of the planting strip, I really need to finish pruning the very last hydrangea bush. Maybe I can get out for more hydrangea haircuts later today. But we'll see. It is supposed to rain all afternoon and tomorrow. I might get out there in about a half hour though if my body recovers enough. . .

Servant4Christ Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 (edited) ***EdPo*** I have fallen into a big black hole I may never return from known as reading curriculum. I'm getting a literal headache from the massive amount of options. There are so many very interesting options, but figuring out what will work for Oldest and streamlining it into what will actually get done is just Svengo. That is the only word/feeling I can come up with. I really just need to decide if I want to buy a reading curriculum (R&S most likely because I know he'll enjoy the stories and interaction of discussing his answers to the workbook exercises orally) or buy separate components to cover areas beyond just reading the literature books and answering the comprehension questions that go with Notgrass. I've looked at Figuratively Speaking and the couple sample pages I found show questions about books he's never read. (Cinderella and The Little Mermaid) Other options are: Reading Detective/ Critical Thinking Detective Forms and Elements of Literature by TCR Story Elements/ Figurative Language by Stark I'm sure there's more but my head is swimming. Help! ***Once I figure it out, I'll stop EdPo'ing, I promise.

Jean in Newcastle Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Xena won. I did a half hour of hydrangea clean up. This needed to be done before tackling the last big bush but will allow for two more days of barking. (As in putting down bark- I am not joining Juliet in chasing off Axe Murderers). Now I can couch potato in peace. Or at least switch my attention to the overflowing laundry baskets. Stay tuned for tomorrow's episode of "As the Hydrangea Turns". 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Bean Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 (edited) I been doing the Things. Took Little Man to the church Easter breakfast where he didn't eat a thing. He had fun finding the eggs, though. Been to The Home Depot for repair stuff and AC filters. Drove DH dirt ball car through a car wash. The daily commute just turns that car to mud. Purchased real allergy pills at Costco at 10:30 and 16 Boy STILL hasn't taken one! He is finishing up a Tom Clancy novel so can't be bothered. During quiet time, I purused houses in Scotland. DH is taking apart the kids' sink drain upstairs to finally clean it out after dealing with a slow drain for a year. Drano didn't help- tried that twice. I really should do some laundry, too. What should we have for dinner? I'm drawing a blank. Edited April 9, 2022 by Green Bean 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
