So, my day today: ....coffee ....get kids up & out on time (oops! had to pause and go do that!) ....do a little prep ahead for school (1st & 2nd grade) ....make sure I have some math stuff to help my tutor kid/4th grader with math facts (print/prep) ....maybe work some on the closet shelves??? ....or else sew the 3rd set of strips for my friend's quilt extension?? ....remember to watch a video by my local quilt shop owner/friend, who is closing her shop, to find out what's up (she's moving, but shop details, I don't know) .....go tutor the 4th grader (little sis has a drs appt) ....come home, cook dinner -- potato soup, as we're getting a 3rd day of rain and "cooler" temps ....eat, go to fencing, come home, go to bed Edited October 5, 2023 by TheReader 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted October 5, 2023 Author Share Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) Boy was slow to get up and then forgot his earbuds, but he and they are now at school for the day. Football game tonight (because there’s no school tomorrow), but I need to be at AHG. Cull dress-up basket and give away most of it. Think through storage for remaining items. ✔️ Continue general household organizing and decluttering! Moms in Prayer ✔️ Grocery ✔️ Make something easy for dinner AHG tonight Edited October 5, 2023 by ScoutTN 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheReader Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 kids are up & out on time next week is loaded into the school bag and ready to go one more week ahead prepped for 1st & 2nd (K was already another week ahead), so that's the next 3 classes ready (one in the bag, two in the "ready to go" file) printed some math facts practice sheets for today's tutor kid, and will pair it with graph paper and some colored pencils/pens/highlighter/something so she can do arrays while she works out the multiplication facts eating breakfast, then will probably do one more week ahead which covers all of October 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReader Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Got another week done for all 3 classes, which takes me through the end of October, so stopping there and taking a nap! Whew. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheReader Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Took a 2 hour nap!!!! Wow! (it is gray and rainy and dreary) Found a set of "mental math games" on a learning website I belong to, which will be I think good practice for the tutor kids, or at least the 4th grader, to really work through getting faster at stuff and doing things in her head, etc. I hope. Downloaded all the sets, printed the first one. Heading to fold towels, and then.....? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted October 5, 2023 Author Share Posted October 5, 2023 It is officially Fall Break for Ds. We have managed one quarter of the school year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted October 5, 2023 Author Share Posted October 5, 2023 Chx is pulled. Soup is made. Kitchen is tidy. Vacuumed and swiffered the common spaces. Got a nice email from one of Ds’ teachers. He is making good progress in her class. Found a card in my pile that will work for tonight. It’s raining - glad I am going to AHG instead of the game. 😜We need the rain and right now it is just slow and steady, not a downpour. Lacrosse season will have plenty of rain for me to sit and watch games in….🙄😬☔️ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 @history-fan, yikes! I hope he doesn't have another hole! @TheReader, I took a nap today, but it was only 30 minutes. I just hope I can sleep tonight. Dh and I didn't play a game, but we did watch Amazing Race and then went for a walk before I made dinner. We are trying to figure out somewhere to go and something to do the weekend of Thanksgiving. Dd is off work and ds will be home. Dd likes good food and history or artsy stuff. Ds does like good food and outdoorsy stuff but doesn't like history museums. They are both going on separate trips to Blue Ridge in the month before Thanksgiving, so I don't think they want a repeat of that. @ScoutTNhave you spent much time in the area around Cookeville? Is there much to do in that part of the state? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted October 6, 2023 Author Share Posted October 6, 2023 @mom31257 We haven’t explored much on the plateau yet. Loads of state parks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted October 6, 2023 Author Share Posted October 6, 2023 AHG was good, though I forgot to have the girls sign the card. My 57 yo brain gets more sieve-like every day! Put the soup away, made some hot cereal for Ds, got a snack, and texted with Dd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
