Kidlit Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 (edited) ✅Busy day here! off to coffee shop (probably Starbucks but thought about trying out a local place) to work on CC class (research papers to grade; poetry lecture to prepare) ✅ I never get as much done as I think I will. All I accomplished is thinking through and writing my grading rubric. trip to Office Depot to copy my co-op students’ poems to compile poetry books for them (✅must print title page first!) ✅ I tried. 😖 Kohl’s to look for top for me? (Kohl’s Cash burning a hole in my pocket—lol)✅ Ended up with a Chaps knit A-line dress—fitted at the waist and then a full skirt. I didn’t love it on the hanger but when I put it on I immediately knew it was “the one.” Lol. I like wearing dresses in the spring and summer, and I’ve gained some weight (ugh!), so I need a few things for warmer weather. Sam’s to buy meat and stuff for birthday party ✅ home to get stuff together for party and wash hair, time permitting 6 yo’s family birthday party hosted at my parents’ house because my mom is still house-bound home to do whatever else I didn’t get done and/or collapse Edited April 6, 2019 by hopeistheword 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

readinmom Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Morning, all! I survived my toe surgery yesterday! It took extra shots to numb up, but overall not a terrible experience. It's throbbing a lot, and I'm on rest and elevation over the weekend, very thankful I checked out a stack of books from the library. To do: coffee, hobble, more coffee read, watch Netflix, read rough drafts of essays ds might come over and watch the basketball games with me, maybe bbq something That's it...not much else to do. Have a great day! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 (edited) Happy Saturday! I keep wanting to share something somewhere ... but it is so horrible and so funny at the same time. (You may not agree it is funny. IRL it is not funny, but it would go well in a sit-com.) So my girls are both 12yo in 7th grade. They have a very cute, artsy 13yo boy classmate / close friend "C." Through friends, C lets DD1 know he wants to "ask her out." (Not sure what that means when you are 3 years shy of driving age & live 7 miles apart.) DD1 tells DD2 she only wants to be good friends, maybe a little more, but not boyfriend/girlfriend. But she doesn't know how to say it. DD2 (knowing what it means) advises DD1 to "tell him you want to be 'friends with benefits.'" DD1 (not knowing) thinks that sounds good. Luckily an intermediary [girl] friend "O," also 12, played ambassador, and when DD1 said "tell him I want to be friends with benefits," she got that look and said "no" and suggested better language. Later DD1 asked O what "friends with benefits" meant. Only then did she realize what a mess she almost got into. .... At dinner DD1 tells me all this and DD2 is laughing hysterically. My advice to DD1 is to never ever ever repeat something if you don't know what it means. !! So ... on to today .... Done: Got Kid 2 to horse riding. Organized some stuff in my car. Coffeeing up. Made arrangements for a weekend trip in July. Texted with sister. Work discussion. Catching up on social media, emails, news.... To do: Lots of work. Plan kids' weekend homework and test study. They have a lot of it! All the laundry. Prep for & participate in AHG girl's Stars & Stripes party. (My kid is doing a scrapbooking station.) Go for a practice run with my kids at a park. Maybe watch some shows toward the end of the day. Some read-aloud(s). Whatever else gets done. Edited April 6, 2019 by SKL 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll have to push that task off until Monday when some other print shops open. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to run by another coffee shop on my way home to see if I can negotiate a deal for fancy coffees for my co op creative writing class on Tuesday for our poetry teatime (coffee?)/ open mic for writing event. But first: shopping! 😅 Edited April 6, 2019 by hopeistheword 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selkie Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Gorgeous spring day here! My yellow crocuses are blooming. (Just looked this up to see if it is crocuses or croci - turns out both are correct.) I think the chipmunks have been snacking on our bulbs, so I was happy to see that these made it through the winter uneaten. Ds20 and I got things tidied up in the barn. He did some skid loader work, too - our manure mountain is getting taller by the day, but the fields need to dry up before we can spread it. We groomed the horses, too. Just sent him back off to school with five bags of groceries to share with his brother. Did some laundry, cleaned the kitchen, finally unpacked the UPS stuff in the garage. I cut up spring onions and radishes for dh, roasted two cookie sheets of mushrooms, and made a celery root salad to go with dinner. Now dd and I are going out to give the horses their dinner. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted April 6, 2019 Author Share Posted April 6, 2019 Taking a break on going through taxes again. I need to talk to dh about one item. I guess that I'd better go find him. I think that I hear power tools going in the garage. . . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
