Not directly, but I think I saw her like some posts earlier this week. 

How's your mom? 

[ScoutTN]

Thanks, Amy. 
My mom is a bit depressed, but doing ok. We are going to try for another outdoor visit this weekend. Even if it’s short, it really cheers her up. 

[SKL]

Margaret, that stinks what they did.  I'm pretty sure I'd tell them to pound salt if they ever asked me for anything again.  You deserve some rest!

Good morning, all. 

had a kind of sucky day yesterday; hopefully today will be better. 

So, to do:
...coffee, coffee, coffee
...type up the Singapore 2B US edition/Standards edition comparison chart (page number equivalencies); I really need to remember to specify one or the other versions on my supply list so I don't have to hassle with this -- even though I provide ALL of the info, I still get parents confused about it 
...finish gathering the printables for Monday, figure out the details for each class
...make sure I'm ready for the 4 yr old in the morning, with extra stuff b/c last week she blew through everything
...grocery shop
...SEW
...meal plan  (probably should do that before the grocery shop)
...veg out tonight doing whatever
...school with DS
...whatever other things I'm forgetting

[SKL]

Happy Thursday!

Another morning with a lot of snoozing.  I really hate mornings!  If only I could sleep in, at least I'd have energy to do my work late in the day / overnight.  😕

It's the last day of my kids' 1st semester of high school.  So far so good.  High school is 1/8 done.

Done:

• Woke the kids up for school.
• Working on coffee 1.
• Caught up on calendar, emails, news, social media, and checked kids' grades.

To do:

• Lots of client work.
• Handyman is coming at 4:30 to replace my bedroom blinds.
• Laundry.
• Whatever else gets done.

Good morning!

Don't have anything planned.  Will see what I will do.

Plan dinner

Have dh cook dinner

rest, rest, rest

@Margaret in CO

I am so sorry about the Scout stuff!  

[ScoutTN]

@TravelingChris

Hi Christina! (Waving emjoi goes here) 

 

[TheReader]

yes, Margaret, I just went and caught up; I'm so sorry! (((hugs)))

[mom31257]

Good to "see" you Christina! 

Margaret, I'm so sorry for all the mess that situation is! 

Reader, hoping you have a better day! 

SKL, hoping you find all the energy you need!

Today is a home day, so it’s a long one.

• Breakfast and start day, hair done, etc.
• school time, including daily work plus
• half a week’s worth of language arts, taught in two groups to my upper and lower elementary kids, plus
• checking up on all of my oldest’s work for her online classes and going over her math with her, (I found yesterday she has been being dishonest with me about having completed school work)  It turns out she is three sections behind in alcumus and has a class assignment due by tomorrow morning, when she told me she had completed all her work for that class for the week.  <sigh>  I know it’s a classic blunder, relying too much on a middle schooler’s maturity and independence.  But I fell into it anyway.
• getting in reading a little history with them, probably while they are eating
• Ri’s stretching and exercises four times throughout the day
• Ri’s scar massage and yoga with all the kids together
• laundry 
• tidy up the living room
• figure out and prepare dinner—I was planning on chili, but my wonderful mom who is here helping for the week made a big pot of chili for tomorrow’s dinner while she was watching the kids yesterday, so I need to figure out what else I can make from the ingredients I have on hand, because I don’t think I can fit in picking anything else up
• older foster girls’ visitation by zoom call
• littlest’s speech therapy in town
• sister missionaries coming by to visit
• get at least six of the end-of-semester work samples submitted for our charter school

finished the singapore math comparison chart/sheet

finished the coffee - boo

woke up with a headache and took meds, so probably about to take a nap to let that do it's job; perimenopause kinda stinks with all this wonkiness

 

[mom31257]

Met with 5th grader (I've been asked to teach geometry concepts to her. I'm noticing some struggle with mental math, so I'll probably try to incorporate some skills there, too.)

Need to get lunch ready before student comes at 1

Sorry your son has to get tested, Scout! 

Took a long nap, interrupted by lunch. 

Trying to meal plan and then figure out what comes next...

[mom31257]

Finished with second student 

Enjoying a cup of decaf coffee 

 

[SKL]

I took a nap for about 1.5 hours, and the fixit guy put up my blinds.

Work-wise, I have made progress, but I have a lot more to go.  I am going to take the day off of walking in order to focus all my energy on getting work out.  I'll make it up over the weekend.

I have washed 1 load of laundry, but another person has her clothes in the dryer, so I hope she moves them before too long ....

[ScoutTN]

Tutoring done, logged session and sent a reminder email with zoom link for tomorrow's 8:00 am student
Tidied the table and my staging area
Brought recycle bins back from the curb
Ordered a new computer mouse for Ds

Lots on my list didn't get done and will overflow onto tomorrow and Saturday, I think. And even Monday because I will have time then due to MLK day. No tutoring. 

Next up: organize and present leftovers for dinner

Later: Read! maybe a bit of AHG work, but nothing on a screen.

Meal-planned for the week

Grocery shopped

Put away groceries

Migraine is still lingering, I'm low on Excedrin Migraine, and my grocery didn't have more. 😞 I have a vague memory of reading something or other a while back about it not being made for a while.....???? Off to dig that up on the internet and see what I can find, and if I can track some down somewhere. I have enough left to get through this migraine and probably next month's migraine (these are monthly hormonal things), and then I'd be out. I cannot imagine trying to get through this w/o it, so that's not good. 

DH is cooking chicken fajitas for dinner tonight, and the rest of the list gets rolled to tomorrow when hopefully I'll be past the worst of the migraine.
