Critterfixer Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Good morning. Kind of a busy day planned if the wind picks up. If not, it could be kind of dull. One of my boys has patched together a sail for his kayak and wants to test it out. No school this week, but we do have art, it behooves us to study our Latin vocabulary and grammar, and NaNoWriMo starts this week. I'm after 2K per day, and the boys say they want to count their month in pages. They are aiming for 2 pages a day. I need to get out my sailboats picture and work on that, and do a little more on my cat picture. No cooking today. We have leftovers to get through. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I know better. :laugh: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommyof1 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Happysmileylady,try using warm salt water and swish it around your mouth a couple times a day. It might help ease the discomfort a little. Done- Calendar work and Halloween countdown. Halloween stories.

mama25angels Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Good morning! Happy smiley- I hope the dentist is able to call something in for you. This week we are in survival mode so our schedule is Devotional Latin Math Composition/spelling Recitation/ apps For me: typing up history exam and getting it to my sub for the last day of co-op Ordering grocery for the people not going with me to the funeral Getting stuff ready for the trip 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted October 30, 2017 Author Share Posted October 30, 2017 Ok, I am hitting the end of my rope. We got through the math lesson, but had to cut off at the last two problems. Thankfully today, I had no independent math (aka "homework") for today. I might have pulled my eyeballs out lol. She's finishing up spelling now, and lunch is cooking (mini pizzas.) I haven't even started with DD7. I still need to hit the bank, and I need to call the dentist back. I still haven't gotten dinner in the crockpot either. :grouphug: I sure hope tomorrow is better for you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share Posted November 1, 2017 Good morning! Yesterday we had a nice day out--Art, and then came home to do pumpkins and watch a movie, and then a ballgame. So we are kind of stirring a little late this morning. Today's schedule: NaNoWriMo--I'm up for 2K, the boys are working on 2 pages per day. I've been accused once again of cleverly insisting on school during break. Bwahahahahahahaha! Other than that, I need to think about school for the next six weeks and determine if we are taking two weeks off at Christmas or one, and when I need to look into ordering more math. Also, Tuesday art ends in another 2 weeks, and I think I'm now comfortable figuring out own art projects and will continue drawing skills at home on Tuesday and painting continues with the instructor and other students on Thursday. Also we have some chores, and a little housekeeping to take care of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share Posted November 1, 2017 Current NaNo count for me is a shade over 2K. The boys have been writing most of the morning. One boy put in six pages (composition notebook), the other put in 3 (standard size). I'll probably hear their work this afternoon. :001_smile: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maize Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 (edited) Thanks. I turned on a Thomas the Train video. I feel like those are more like a story book being read than the hyper stimulation of most kids' videos.

Critterfixer Posted November 2, 2017 Author Share Posted November 2, 2017 Good Morning! Today I am having a tooth pulled at 4. I don't wanna, but I gotta. That means mom is coming over today. Which means cleaning. And some school work. I woke up in the middle of the night in a lot of pain and although taking stuff helped, it took about an hour or so to get to the point where I could go back to sleep. Which meant that I overslept. Right now I have everyone up and eating breakfast. Then I am going to have the girls get dressed, and then unload the dishwasher. Then I am going to set DD8 up with her online reading thing, and get some phonics and math done with DD7. Should be done with DD7 by the time DD8 is done, or maybe before, and will then get DD8 set up with math. Today is probably going to be just a math and reading day. Might do some geography with DD8 because she really likes it and we haven't gotten to it much. It's pretty quick though. Liking for the appropriately light day. But ouch! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted November 2, 2017 Author Share Posted November 2, 2017 How is it Thursday already? :willy_nilly: Today: Art NaNo Housekeeping Cooking Okay--that doesn't look so bad. :hurray: Art-done. I'm almost done with my sailboats I've been working on. Thank goodness. NaNo-I've got over 2K for the day, and am heading into something interesting and new which should occupy me most of the evening. Housekeeping-boys are almost done with their cleaning. Kitchen is up next, then I can fold the clothes and wash my sheets and clean my room. Cooking-I made hamburgers for lunch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penguin Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 (edited) Safe travels, mama25angels. Maize, hope everyone in your house recovers quickly. happysmileylady, blah on tooth pain and dental bills. This has been a bad, bad year here also for dental bills. I have had a VERY busy week. Sort of a recovery day for me, if you can count doing lots and lots of math as recovering. Tonight, DH and I will watch the finale of Stranger Things (Season 1), and I am looking forward to that :) Edited November 3, 2017 by Penguin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted November 4, 2017 Author Share Posted November 4, 2017 We went the lake, the woods and the mountains today. A good day was had by all, but I'm going to be sore from all the rowing. We had a ton of wind out on the lake and it about beat us to death. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
