KrissiK Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Went to the AFSA. I hate going to the AFSA on a Friday night when I'm tired, but I hate it even worse on a Saturday. So now.... it's done. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dianthus Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 I'm still waiting for @Renai's recipe. I'm wondering if I should try a darker hair color. The light brown shade may be too light. But I don't want to go too dark either. So tired and my back hurts. Will be a busy weekend, so I might take the Monday as a holiday since it is a holiday. I'm doing such a good job with my eating but that's because I missed a couple days of exercising with my miserably early period. I hate oatmeal. I am behind on laundry 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Good morning! (((Dianthus))) things will look up in a day or two. The girls are almost ready to go down to breakfast. Sleep was not too terrible for being in a Big City. I need to make myself drink more water. We're going to World of Coke, then singing at a nursing home, then having a medieval dinner and show.

Green Bean Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 (edited) I'm joining Jean's sore feet camp after trekking through CostCo and AFSA. The latter was surprisingly really empty for a Saturday. DH is napping and I am vamping. I'm tired too because I haven't eaten much today. Shame on me. Earlier before shopping, we took down Little Man's IKEA high/low bed. He and his friend (when he comes over) either climb on top to play, or swing on the sides, or his friend pushes it away from the wall to run around it. LM is constantly wanting to switch it or complaining he doesn't want to sleep in there. We've kept it for DS24 to sleep under when he's home, but over Christmas, he discovered he's too tall to do that. I also tossed out that lumpy 10+ yr old mattress that was stored under it when he went back. I'm donating it to our refugee program along with some other stuff. So a lot of hauling up and down the stairs and around went on. I now have a 60" round table and my original 6 seater table w/ chairs in my game/schoolroom which is feeling rather crowded. BUT I like the round table for school; but I need to keep mine because it expands and can be moved downstairs for family dinners; but I need school space. I'm thinking about getting a glass top for mine to protect it as it won't survive school otherwise. Anyone have some ideas for a stinky teenage boy bedroom? It is clean- no food, laundry done weekly including towels and bedding, mattress have allergy waterproof covers on them, floor is vaccumed weekly, and no carpet. Both are faithful about deo and showers. It just smells all the time! It's not the 'dead animal' smell from a few weeks ago. Plug ins are out because they make the boys sick. Lots of Febreeze is all I got. I think dh and I are going out tonight. I want to see AntMan/Wasp but he's all "Meh", so I'm taking all the kids Tuesday when it's $5 tickets!

I'm asking permission first so y'all don't get mad. We always have bouts of EdPos. We haven't done a graduation EdPo yet, have we? (I mean, some of us have graduated kids, but I don't remember the discussions). Dancer and I had planned to do the graduation with the homeschool conference. The family sends in a presentation that is played on the big screen while they (family) talk about their graduate and gives them their diploma. Each family gets a turn, so the graduates are really spotlighted. It's done on the Thursday night before the main conference events happen. It is very tastefully done. In the end, Dancer decided she didn't want to do it. 😞 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 We are back from all the places. The girls are in a choir meeting in the ballroom and I'm in the hotel room. At the Medieval Times dinner we had to eat with our hands. Half a roast chicken. It was pretty tasty. At least they gave us wipes and napkins. I'm hoping the girls will settle in more quietly tonight. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dianthus Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 I made them! Didn't measure but used maybe 1/3-1/2 c peanut butter and enough peanut butter protein powder to give a good scoop able texture. I used the extra dark Ghirardelli chips so less sugar. They are pretty good! And I feel like it's a healthier treat! Thanks for inspiring me @Renai . I wouldn't have thought to use the peanut powder. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot to mention that Shakeology is just protein powder. I don't buy it because it's way too expensive (it's Beachbody's brand). I just use vegan protein powder from Walmart. The recipe calls for vanilla protein and I have some in the pantry. I still haven't made them yet! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ToGo cup covers did not fit the ToGo cups which was causing some Consternation on the part of hotel patrons.

Susan in TN Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 They dropped us off at a mall to get dinner tonight. It was a Very Fancy Mall with all the Fancy Shops. Which explained the predominance of Fancy Cars in the parking lot. Dd14 does not know what Gucci or Fenty are, and was pretty sure she saw a pair of stilettos made out of doorknobs. We got Shake Shack burgers but forgot to get shakes. Their lemonade is excellent. I have gotten in my 10,000 steps today. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 We had seafood paella for dinner. It was yummy. Lobster, shrimp, scallops, clams over basmati rice. Dd came for dinner and to do a loud of laundry. I spent yesterday morning and today morning at work rearranging my classroom. I think the new setup will work better and be less cluttery looking. I'm working on cleaning up all the rooms now and reorganizing all the stuff that got unorganized over the past few weeks. I'll go in again tomorrow, then the rest of the week, I'll probably work at home cleaning and organizing. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what to think about all this...🤣 We went to a BSA interest meeting today as the troop wants to start a girls troop. Gymnast wants to do all the things but doesn't have all-the-things-time. I told her something has to stop next school year (orchestra-violin, mariachi-trumpet, or dance). If she stopped orchestra, she'd still continue Practice Monkeys for violin. Because. I said so. But she really is an outdoorsy and active kid and I think she'd enjoy BSA. As it is, with Gymnast, there are only four girls so far, and they need five to get started. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
