TheReader Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 (edited) Good morning! So, last night DH's dad called and said "hey, that safe, the guy is bringing it to you this weekend" -- Umm, we're out of town this weekend. What? (DH's dad lives out of the country; he has a large safe that he wants DH to have. The safe is at an uncle's house an hour away, and FIL has been figuring out how to get it to us) So, a hilariously frustrating series of back & forth phone calls later, and the guy is bringing it *today* (this morning) so we can get it before we go out of town. Also, it's going to cost us $400 (but FIL is going to send us half) to get it here. SOOOO, last night we had to quick clear out space in the closet, rearrange things, take the closet door off the hinges, etc. so the guy can put it in place. Also -- we have thunder!!!! This is the closest we've been to rain in........two and a half months???? Def none in Aug, maybe none in July.....hmm, I think it did rain a little right around July 4th. I don't think since. Anyway, all that to say, today's list: ...coffee ...kids up & out on time ...put dogs up so they don't interfere with the guy dropping off the safe ...finish typing last tutor notes from Tues, make sure I have everything for today (prep some "homework" for both girls for the mom) ...do a little prep ahead for Oct school stuff ...review Monday's science stuff, make sure the supplies are packed & ready as I won't have time on Sunday really (or will, but will be tired) ...text my friend for tomorrow, let her know I can't stay for coffee after I work with her grandbabies ...sew???? I think I'll actually have time today! ...go tutor the kids ....come home, eat, change, go see Iliza Schlesinger tonight! Yay! should be fun ...come home, go to bed Edited September 14, 2023 by TheReader 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReader Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 well.....the kids *didn't* all get up on time, so I had to run take them to class (Oldest does the driving for this, but with the *rain* (yay!!) and the short time to get them, better I do it and can hurry - we made it, thank goodness). So, now, back to the list..... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReader Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 got the safe moved -- DH's uncle *doesn't know the code for it* DH is texting his dad. Hopefully we get *that* sorted or this is one expensive carpet-holder-downer we just acquired. :sigh: Kids just texted, their 2nd class was cancelled, so sorting out who is picking up (me, DH, or Oldest) and doing that got the tutor notes typed up, some sight word work for both girls printed for "homework" (per the mom's request), so that's good texted my friend, no coffee tomorrow after tutoring 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 I watched part of the video from last night. I ate breakfast. 2 Zoom sessions are done. I enjoyed doing precalculus. I know it will be a challenging year for me, but it could help me find more students. I don't see myself offering an online class for it because all the homeschool students I know tend to go through Algebra 2 and start dual enrollment for any other math. Georgia pays for 30 hours of dual enrollment classes, so it makes sense. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom31257 Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 (edited) @history-fan, I had hard-boiled eggs for breakfast. I add some vegan butter, salt, and pepper. That and deviled eggs are my favorite ways to eat eggs! Could you all help me with something? I have a parent asking me if they could pay me to set up a grade record for their child, to add grades they submit to me (I already keep the math grades), and to create the transcript when it is needed. I have no idea what to charge for this. Any thoughts? I am thinking I should charge by grade and that I should charge more for the 12th-grade year, possibly the 11th. There's always more to do in later years than early ones. Edited September 14, 2023 by mom31257 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeLovePassion Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 It's my birthday. Picked up stuff for El Pastor tacos and a cheesecake. Work is still busy, just trying to find the rhythm and balance of classes/grading/planning. It will come, but this week is busier as the behavior honeymoon period ended and I have a new unit starting Monday. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoutTN Posted September 15, 2023 Author Share Posted September 15, 2023 Dinner with friends was so fun! Such a blessing to see both of them! Had some fruit. Thought about what to pack in Ds’ lunch tomorrow. Turned the A/C down. I wish Dh would just sleep with the windows down; it’s lively and cool outside! Winding down to read. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

history-fan Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 @mom31257 I have no idea what to charge. When they say setting up a transcript are they wanting year or term by term or that they want from 9th grade on? So would you have to make a template for the transcript? Or would you set it up in a google doc and send it to them to add grades later? Maybe I am thinking too much. I could see it being a time consuming project and maybe charge what you would for tutoring. You might want to set something up because you may start getting more requests to do this. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
history-fan Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 @mom31257I try to keep a bowl of hard boiled eggs in the fridge. I usually do a dozen at a time. Everyone here like them and they make a quick snack. I like to add them to tuna melts when I make them, one of the recipes I remembered from when I went to college and they served them there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
