texasmama Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 You amaze me. Mom-of-the-Year. BTW - that reminds me. My ds7 saw your van pic this morning and said, "But where's the mommy in that picture?" See! You ain't so old as you think, Hot Mama!! Ooh. Seven year olds are honest, too! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJ Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Ha! Sorry, no video. I was busy managing Nan, and everyone else stared at us in horror. Dh fled the scene after giving her an extra pill per my instructions. I banished the caregiver because Nan was kicking her and calling her an idiot. I truly am sorry for you all, and sending constant hugs and encouragement. I just have this morbid fascination with people's antics sometimes. Nan is truly blessed to have you. Oh, and just an aside brought to my recollection by the mention of "Mule" earlier: Grandma B (DH's grandmother) was told by her own mother when she was growing up that she was so stubborn if she fell in the river she would float upstream. Her nickname is Upstream, now that we know that story! It's a trait that runs in the family. :D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Beagles bay a lot and dig out of fences. Our neighbor has a beagle they can't keep contained. Hate it! It taunts our dog and then runs away. Coward! Nan was all Girls Gone Wild this evening. I am exhausted. They only act like that when they don't get enough attention. I want this one, right here. https://www.youtube.com/user/CharlieDaDog That's a typical beagle. Arghs and agreement to all of this! And see, Slashie, I can too multiquote when I want to! Slashie! But that's not what it said.... So, how did the two congresses get in there? And just to say, I'm glad the kids are in bed or they'd be spouting back to me all of the stuff on the American government I've spent the last several months drilling into their heads. I certainly don't need to hear about bicameral snow cones.... The first one was an accident and the second one was me questioning the accident. :lol: :lol: :lol: Okay, NOW it makes sense! Was it Siri, Iris, or some other system that did that? I do the swishy blue line type thing. I have no clue what it's called. Achtung! Hoch soll Sie leben! Mein hut er hat drei ecken! Yes! That's it! Duckie, you want a rescue greyhound. :) Love greyhounds. OK, I just read Madeline, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, Swimmy, Goodnight Moon, The Snowy Day, The Letter, and Freight Train.

lots of little ducklings Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Snoopy is amazingly quiet for a beagle. I'm pretty certain he's not actually beagle, but that's what they say he is because they don't know what he is. I think he's visiting from another planet and having too much fun here to leave! I googled it. The anonymous experts agree: he's a beagle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am getting plenty of breaks this week because it wears on me to be the only one who can do anything with Nan when she is like this.

That's HUGE. Great job, Mama! And thanks for the encouragement. I really should meander on over to the high school board once in a while, but most days I feel plenty overwhelmed with accomplishing things on the K-8 side. Our local homeschool support group has a large population of families in the high school stage now, so most of their meetings focus on high school topics. I know I should go to those more often too, and just glean from their experiences. But then baby is up all night teething and even if I'm lucky enough to get a shower and find a clean shirt, I fall asleep the moment I sit down. :rolleyes: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got time! She is going away to a Christian college in August. We are really going to miss her, but I'm excited for her to start a new chapter in her life. I remember my mom being so excited for me, and I think it has helped me feel the same for her. She's going on a full-tuition scholarship. If she will keep up good grades, she'll have over $50K free money! I consider it part of my "pay" for the last 10 years. LOL! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Mo-----om! Slash said shut-up!!!!!! Okay, as Matriarch I guess this falls to me. Girls, please learn to be a little more thoughtful in your phrasing, as people really will judge you by it as you grow older. Lynn, moderate your tone, and learn to whine like an adult (half the volume, and more wheedle). Slache, try to sound more educated. For instance, "cease and desist your useless prattling", or "I advise closing that gaping maw before the bison migrate in there". Using lots of words and throwing in the occasional big one causes people to glaze over and assume you are saying intelligent things. Now, go play nicely, and don't get blood on my rugs. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My eldest starts 8th grade next year, which I am now referring to (around home, at least) as a "high school prep year". This means that: I'm looking into what all she will need to do in high school to be set up well for college the order and progression of the required and recommended subjects to study what we need to accomplish in the 8th grade year for high school to be as not-so-rocky as possible This is only our second year of homeschooling, so we are also still working out some of the kinks.
