Susan in TN Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 (((Susan))) (((Susan's dd)))) That's heartbreaking about the choir director's mistake. And somehow just not right. I know the mistake wasn't intentional, but it seems the co-op directors are batting big fat zeros this year. Dd12 worked so hard getting her Latin pronunciation just right for the audition pieces ... I am so sad for the girls (I think there were 6 who auditioned). :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Good Morning! Slache and Renai, I hope you have both gotten some rest! More cheers for the marching band! Dh was in marching band in high school and still remembers (with fondness?) the grueling rehearsals. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I truly hate it when children are disappointed. It is especially hard when there is nothing we can do to change the situation. Is there anything that can be done?

Openhearted Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Hi everyone. I slept in until 9. Dawn, did he bring the deer home or did it run off? Lynn, I saw that. Renai, you're graduating no matter what, right? Oh, the deer, it hobbled into a field. My dh is not a hunter or into wild game at all. I joke with him that if we ever go hungry for any reason, I will have to be the one to go hunting. :D We called our neighbor, and he went out to look for it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texasmama Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Ugh. Just got an email from dd12's co-op choir director. The director made a mistake in the girls' honor choir audition registrations and they have all been disqualified. Dd will be heartbroken. :( :grouphug: I'm so sorry. What a blow to the girls. We placed 5th. Oh my! On our first trip to state. Wow. Can't wait to read up on all y'all. That is fantastic! Baby #5 is so sweet it's killing me. At bedtime now, he pats my arm and nuzzles into my neck and starts singing along with me (in baby words) our Dearest Duckling nighttime lullaby. At the end he sings "day....is.....done," so sweetly, and then keeps on humming until I rock him into his crib and tuck him in. I need 15 more of him. 20 would be fine. That's greedy, I know, but I'm addicted. :001_wub: I will add Baby #5 to my list. He is the only boy on my list. I don't know why because boys are easier (in my house) so I should put more boy on the list of kids to steal and raise as my own. I shall refer to them as the "milk carton crew". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I am trying very hard not to hate her. Nah, I don't hate her. She's being a stickler about a very new policy. One in which, I told her, still has kinks to work out. I told her that perhaps she or I can get clarification about this policy. It started about 6-7 weeks ago. I'm sure it was to stop the folks who thought it was ok to turn in stuff weeks after it was due. I've been late before (recorded on this thread!), but I've seen discussion posts from week 2 being submitted on the last day of class in week 5 from people. That isn't fair to anyone. But, this is not that type of situation. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish there was a better system in place to deal with unwanted babies. The only reason I haven't adopted yet is because I don't have $50,000 laying around. I know I keep complaining about the same thing, but we're good, loving women and all those babies in orphanages around the world would be happy to have us. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm supposed to take Percocet when it's this bad but the nurse on call said that carries risks. I took acidamenefin (spelling champyon 2015!) but it still hurts so bad. Oh dear. :( I used to get sciatica from early on. PSA: people who hum random, repetitive, pointless tunes in public should be taken out and shot.

We know a myriad ways to wreck a soccer ball (kick it into the rose bush, leave it behind bushes for months till it rots, play on road till it shreds), but I can't tell you how to deflate it without wrecking it. Are you packing a Samaritan's Purse box? Because one of the gift suggestions was a deflated soccer ball with pump, and I thought, I have never seen a deflated soccer ball, and a pump with the ball wouldn't fit in the box! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
