readinmom Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Morning, all! Today is ds's first day back at cc. Spent 1/2 hour tearing the house apart looking for his backpack. Not like he had all day yesterday to get ready... To do: School dr appt dd's music lesson probably stop at Costco for one of the chickens, salad work on some donation bags for charity pick up tomorrow Decide what to do with the curriculum that won't sell...I've listed here, craigslist, homeschooling forums.

Pink and Green Mom Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Selkie, if you have a cauliflower buffalo wing recipe to share I'd love to see it. I've tried several I've found on line and I'm never happy with how they turn out. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my favorite recipe, but it's for red curry wings: https://minimalistbaker.com/spicy-red-curry-cauliflower-wings/ Here's the buffalo wings recipe I'm trying tonight: https://simpleveganblog.com/buffalo-cauliflower-wings-gluten-free/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Hi guys, I'm back! I missed the Hive - though I did read many posts on my iphone. (I never log in from my iphone, I read as a stalker.) The trip to DC was a success (but exhausting). We drove home last night and got in about 1:30am. Done: Got the kids up & off to the school bus. Sent off the caregiver. Need to make sure she gets a check in the mail. Went back to bed. Woke again after 1pm! Fought with my computer. Internet is on and off today, so frustrating. I finally switched to my iphone hotspot. Caught up on emails, news, social media stuff. Sister called and chatted for maybe an hour. I could not believe it was past 3pm and school was out when we finished. To do: Work. Yoga. Check out Couch to 5K. Pay bills. Make a donation to sponsored kid's medical fund. Kids come home on the school bus; review whatever they have, papers, homework, make sure all is on track. 1 kid will go to horse riding, the other will do homework. Some sort of meal.... Make kids clean and practice their instruments since they have band tomorrow. Whatever else is needed for school; pack bags for tomorrow. Read-aloud. Kids to bed. Work. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readinmom Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Welcome back, SKL! I'm home, early day today, picked up Chick Fil A for lunch. Doing some small tasks before dr. appt. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Ugh, this evening is not going well so far. The reality of "back to school" seems to be just hitting me. No TV on weekdays. 1 phone already confiscated for breaking that rule and the no-eating-outside-the-kitchen rule. Other kid has to re-write her entire assignment so the teacher can actually read it. Probably not wise of my kid to tell me the ex-nanny (who was here for 2 nights) is better than I am at getting them to do homework. Plus, I have a headache. I want to go back to bed! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
