*anj* Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I know this will sound pathetic to most of you, but I am really excited to tell you that I haven't been hanging out here today. We had our first day of school, which went really quite well despite the fact that The Golden Goblet disappeared for about a half hour, only to reappear in a spot I'd already checked. This morning I got up, prayed, read my Bible, finished some prep work, made breakfast, and taught school. I will admit that I did check it out while eating lunch and I responded to a couple of PMs, but no posting! That's pretty good. And we really got some things accomplished today. Woohoo!!! I think that we should have an accountability group. We can say "Hi, My name is (Angela) and I am a WTM forum addict." :D:D:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol in Cal. Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I think that we should have an accountability group. We can say "Hi, My name is (Angela) and I am a WTM forum addict." :D:D:D Is there going to be an entrance requirement? 3000 posts or more? 5 rep squares or more? Dropping test scores of 10% or more, LOL? Or maybe we should have levels. 1000 posts--level one addiction 2000 posts--level two 3000 posts--either level three, or a 'practically SWB' banner... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Hey Miss *Anj*! I was wondering where you were today! I think that we should have an accountability group. We can say "Hi, My name is (Angela) and I am a WTM forum addict." :D:D:D Can I join? I recognize an addiction and I'm not even at 500 posts yet. :lol: ETA: Oh yeah, glad to hear school/your morning went well - such a great feeling!

Angel Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Hi my name is Angela, but everyone calls me Angel, and I'm a WTM forum addict:lol: I couldn't resist :D I'm so glad your first day went well. We are in our 2nd week and dd13's new workload is grueling...only because we are used to being done at 1:00 with everything but reading...and she's hating her 1st Sonlight reader:glare: By the way, I do LOVE your avatar. Jack would get my vote in a heartbeat. He knows how to deal with everyone!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom to Aly Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Congratulations Anj! That is so great! I'm trying to get my night owl daughter, whose clock is totally messed up from being sick, and who has been staying up late and getting up late, to stay awake--not a fun task. So, no school, no chores, nothing here! Just my ignoring her whining while I type away here! Hmmm, & I haven't quite hit 1,000 posts, so I'm not an addict, right? (Don't look at how long I've been a member, OK? Oh, man, you looked! But I am not an addict! Really, I'm not! No way, no how! &, when I posted this, I didn't have 1,000 posts, I think! ;) ) Oops, I just checked, 1,003 posts. So maybe I am an addict. Ah, well--and proud of it, baby!!!

gardenschooler Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I'm proud of you! :D Even though that's so weird to start in the middle of the week! Somehow my TOG weeks got realigned to Mon-Fri, but we're still Fri-Thurs for Lit. I guess I'll go with that. You'll be all mixed up by the next holiday, too. :D I don't find it tempting to get on during the day, but oh so late at night is the downfall for me. Unfortunately, there's no one here to tell me to go to bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't find it tempting to get on during the day, but oh so late at night is the downfall for me. Unfortunately, there's no one here to tell me to go to bed. I'll tell you if you'll tell me. Somehow it's so much easier to loaf on here than it is to get up, shut off all the lights, set the alarm, brush teeth, put on jammies, check on the kids, and get in bed... I cannot imagine such a thing. :confused: I don't get it. *I* can quit Any. Time. I. Want. :leaving: Yep, me too. I don't have a problem. EVERYONE ELSE HAS A PROBLEM.

Karenciavo Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I don't have a problem either. Just because I'm on here, posting while on vacation? So? :001_rolleyes: Karen (on her way to being flung into a briar patch) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jail warden Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Good job! I haven't been on here much at all since we started school 4 weeks ago. We are on vacation this week so I have checked more often, but we're too busy to check too often. No, we're not doing anything, dh just finally was able to get a week off in over a year.

PariSarah Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I was feeling very proud of myself for 1)writing one paragraph, 2) grading and returning papers, and 3) exercising.

Testimony Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I'm proud of you! :D Even though that's so weird to start in the middle of the week! The schools over here started on Thursday. That's today! And they had a half a day. So, I have had a light week this week. We are starting with SOTW and Math. We, then, added Science. Congrats, Anj for staying away. My sons yell at me and say, "is that all you do all day?" Major league conviction. Blessings to you in your homeschooling journey!

woolybear Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 and I know it doesn't LOOK like I qualify, but really there are days......sigh. ANyway, today was a good day for us too. First official day of school. Accomplished some good stuff and then went to the beach. I can't recall if I was on briefly this morning, but then not again until tonight. Sad, that this should be an accomplishment.:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kls126s Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 but also made me cringe. I really have spent a lot of time here this summer, but then realized that once I had my plans worked out, I was still spending so much time here that I wasn't going to actually carry out those carefully researched and created plans. Is my goal to get the next green square and move up to the next hive label? Or is it to homeschool my children with excellence? Yes, I would love to have another green square - I'd do a little snoopy dance! - but I'd love to paint and read and learn and explore with my babies more. That's my discovery for this last week. Glad to see your post, Anj. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTMindy Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Hi, *anj*. (Isn't that the way they start their meetings?) I too have been making some resolves as the year starts. I'll be around, but hopefully not quite as much. I have been trying to use my early morning time more wisely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
