BlsdMama Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I reminded mine tonight - "Remember, we are "officially" starting school tomorrow! We can have a strong school week or a clean house, but not both!" LOL - if this is your first week - enjoy it. Homeschooling is the best and most worthwhile hard thing I've done - aside from having these kiddos in the first place. ❤️ 9 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPan Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Well I started ramping up last week with our school work, and I sorta forgot about the TOMATOES coming in, lol. So we'll see if I manage to do both. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oy vey! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2_girls_mommy Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I've been asking mine to mop in his spare time for days. We officially started last week, adding a ker, and still not all up and running yet. I've got contractors here finishing an update that I wanted done over the summer, but is just now getting done. My printer broke and I chose several print at home subjects this year that aren't printed. And dd17 is working on starting college, taking SAT subject tests, and trying to get ready to take her driver's license exam all at once. And the dirty floors are making me insane. He has no clue. He thinks school just happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a shout out to iHop who still does kids eat free on Mondays. LOL. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theelfqueen Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 My husband often asks "what are you up to tomorrow?" Ummm school. Always school. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klmama Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 *Sigh* Dh just informed me that he's taking off work the rest of the week after Labor Day in order to finish house and yard projects. That means he's going to play the radio in the garage and yard - loudly - while he works. And he's going to go in and out the door umpteen times. And he's going to repeatedly walk through the area where dc is working. And he's going to want me to keep the dog inside out of his way, because she's excited by all the activity and is wanting attention. And he's going to ask how school is going. And he's going to be surprised we aren't getting more done, because, after all, we should just ignore that he's here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Lynn Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Klmama, sounds like a good week for doing school at the library! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klmama Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Yes, that's what I was thinking. He told me today to give him a list of everything I wanted him to do, so I may make a.m. lists for outside and p.m. lists for inside, when it will be easier for us to work elsewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjffkj Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 haha, I'm thankful I don't have to remind dh that. It was established long ago that I am home for the kids not to be the main housekeeper. We do most of the cleaning as a family on saturday mornings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
