KrissiK Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 It’s Friday. I am dawdling and procrastinating. I just don’t want to get done all the work I have to do. And I have to leave in an hour to get DD1 to the chiropractor. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Bean Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 EdPo: Little Man’s TGTB Math K came today! Of course he was more interested in the packing “popper” stuff until I opened that magic wooden box. Then he ran for a pencil and insisted we do a lesson right now! So we did. It’s going to be a lot of review but plenty of new, as well. I’m excited about it. The Kinder Prep arrives tomorrow. Yeah, his math skills are off from his language arts, but who cares? He is also working slowly on OPGTR. It’s my insurance he gets the phonics in while TGTB is for review and fine motor skills work. That’s ok, right? Double cover the bases. I haven’t found a handwriting I like. HWT is too schooly, TGTB uses the awful ZB font. McRuffy is $$$! If I can find a template for HWT paper, I will create my own again. Anyone know a place? Servie- it’s sweet how DH’s try, isn’t it? How bad is the damage? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Good morning! The Two Youngest and I are off to help do maintenance at the Scout Reservation to help get ready for summer scout camps. They have been excited to do this for months. Super exciting things like cleaning bathrooms and repairing tent pads and clearing debris from the lake. Oh joy, lol. They love camp, though, so I'm glad for that. Dd23 is doing a half marathon this morning and then she's going to spend the night here with us before heading back home.

Wheres Toto Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Morning, Happy Saturday. Oldest dd and my mother came over for dinner last night for dd's birthday. She's turning 28 today! 😳 I don't understand how that happened. I'm still 35. She's going out with friends to their favorite Irish pub tonight. She invited me to come by since it's in the next town over (I could walk home, it's less than 2 miles) but a crowded bar on a Saturday is not something I do anymore. I did offer to pick them up if they need a ride home. We are committed to getting back to our morning workouts starting Tuesday. Even if it does mean going at 6:30am. We are also going to start Movie Mondays and go out to a movie each week. Today I'm having fun doing laundry with my messed up washing machine. Tomorrow I'll work at the science center. I went to our habitat restore this morning to look for a locking file cabinet. I found one that had keys and wasn't broken. I need it for my confidential files at the science center. I'm going to have younger dd start to read "On This Day In History Sh!t Went Down" over the summer and start US history in September. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 We are back from the Scout Camp Cleanup. We painted gates yellow, replaced batteries in and/or installed smoke detectors in cabins, loaded and unloaded many boxes of ammo, helped clean the swimming pool, and cleared brush. I have yellow paint on my pants - glad I wore the ripped Philmont pants. I made some of Slachey's Famous Seafood Salad while waiting for the shower. I think I'll sleep well tonight. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renai Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 This morning started out with the mariachi bands (Gymnast's beginning band and the older advance band) playing a gig at a Girl Scouts art festival an hour away. Everyone was so nervous! But they did a good job. Two other little girls started playing trumpet a month ago so haven't had a chance to practice, so Gymnast is the trumpet section. No pressure... Dancer, boyfriend, and Baby Dancer showed up, then we left together and ate at a restaurant nearby. There are fires all over NM and the winds just won't stop! There was a dust storm warning yesterday because with all the winds, dust made visibility very low. There are digital signs along the highway telling high profile vehicles to reduce speed due to the winds. Two fires a little north of us have merged and is around 43,000 acres right now. I don't know the status of the others. Sometimes I don't know if I'm looking at fire smoke or dust. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dianthus Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 I'm cross posting here. Maybe you all can give me some ideas? It's been 6 years since I had a toddler, and I have a wild child that hasn't grown up in church. Crayons don't hold her interest at home, so I doubt it would be a 2 min distraction at church. I really liked this church and want to be consistent again. She's nearly 18m old. I can't put her in a nursery. We are visiting this church for the 2nd time. Last week, she went through all the snacks I had and I still had to exit the service before it finished. I would like to resist snacks. An usher was watching me give them to her. Books and her pacifier didn't keep her quiet long. What else can I do? She gets excited and screams. Or wants something so screams. Not a quiet baby. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junie Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 We don't usually buy 60 at a time, so I don't know what the pre-pandemic price was, but currently 60 would cost $13.20 here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
