So beautiful. Our concert will be in a cathedral with lovely accoustics. :) Happy happy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Openhearted Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I have ate. The roast wasn't as good as usual. I am blaming the cut of beef. So now I'm going to bed. All children are home safe for the last night this week. Another reason I'm glad ds20 is an instructor, he watches out for Dd16. It just makes me feel a bit better about them being away from home. Good night ITTers. Sweet dreams. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Lynn Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Good Morning! It's raining hard here, which is effecting my internet connection, so I can't like anything unless I want to sit and watch it "think" for a couple minutes. Like Dawn's perserverence with the trailer. Like Renai's homework progress. LIke Jean, Rusty, Rocky, and Neko. (I can almost keep her animals straight in my head. almost.) LIke Susan's future concert. (I want to go.) Like that Ducklings need til noon to recover. (I could never have done anything so crazy in the first place. You're amazing!) Do not like Ducklings larva trauma. I'm wiping that one from memory. Like that Tex was here. Come back. I took ds to his basketball game last night since he was feeling better, but still a little sniffy. Hope he didn't infect the whole team. He slept on the couch again, but I slept in bed so I got much better sleep! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Morning! Sounds like we all had storms last night. Today feels like my last day of freedom before "show week" - dd17's daily dress rehearsals and performances for the next week. Plus I have a dress rehearsal and concert and it is ds10's and my birthdays. And co-op and regular lessons. And more dentist appointments. And the doctor for dd9 and dd6 if they are still sick. At least I have PANTS! :D 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Openhearted Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I'm off to homeschool. Alone. In the rain. (channeling Hemingway. ugh. How depressing!) Wow. I just read some of a Wikipedia article about Hemingway. What a life! He reminds me of Forrest Gump by being in important places at the wrong/right time. Also by escaping death several times. Did you know his father committed suicide hours before receiving a letter from his son (Ernest) saying that he would not need to worry about money anymore? How awful! This is your educational post for the day. Although many of you probably know this already. I have so many other things I need to be doing. I just don't feel like doing it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lots of little ducklings Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 likety like like like. Good morning to everyone, and a HAPPY BIRTHDAY (next week?) to Susan and ds!! Susan, I am dreaming your concert in my head. That, and a stroll by myself through the Container Store with a cuppa joe in my hand, would so soothe my spirit. Peace out, friends.

KrissiK Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I seriously attempted to read Hemmingway. For the life of me, I couldn't understand his writing. I'd read a couple pages and had no idea what he was talking about. And then I'd read it again. And I still didn't know what he was talking about. So I put it down and went away. And then tried again later. Still had no idea. So I quit. I think I was trying to read "A Farewell to Arms". Maybe there's something wrong with me. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professormom Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I am back. Man, you ladies have stamina. When I don't feel well, I tend to disappear from life for a while and then pop back in. My IRL friends understand this and love me anyway. I hope you all do too:-) I got to watch a friend's toddler yesterday. At one point, I had their cat purring in my lap, the baby tucked in next to me (she is adorable and smiley and sucks her thumb in the cutest way) and ds11 on the other side of her reading to her. He would have been an awesome big bro. My cup runneth over. We are behind in our work this week, but I am about halfway through writing an AP Human Geography syllabus for my soon-to-be freshman. :svengo: I wonder if I will get approved right away or if the College Board will reject me :crying: I am sad this morning. One of my dear friends found out that her boys have a genetic disease and they will likely have a large percentage of sight loss by the time they are late teens. They are just devastated. But the little guys are so lucky to have their parents who have already shown them so much of God's love. I know He will draw them close.

Openhearted Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I have not been reading much lately. Because when I read, if I love the book, I don't want to do anything but read. This summer I REALLY got into Poldark, thanks to the series on Masterpiece and Aidan Turner. (He is soooooo good lookin'. H.O.T.) There are 12 books in the series, and I read them all in June. I didn't accomplish much at all. If I don't love it. I just can't read it. It took me about 75 pages to get into Pride & Prejudice. I finished it, but I forced myself in the beginning. All of this to say, I am intrigued by Hemingway. I think I may have tried to read something by him in high school, but that has been 20ish years ago. I believe I will try again.

I remember reading "A Tale of Two Cities" in my 20s. It was a revelation. After all of my years in school and college, I had never really "gotten" why a classic was a classic.
