SHEs Organized

I never realized that lay and lie were taught to me in school. It has always been automatic. wow! great video but how to explain it. direct object
so if I hear a woman screaming about grammar, I will know it is you d lady!

hi d harmony great job on your first things first

I've come to the conclusion our lives here are too busy with everything and we try to keep up at a fast pace which is hard and nerve wracking.

true.
so glad you had a nice time Sunday!

I am sitting here biding my time before we leave. I am trying not to be sad - how silly - dd will be her next week for Thanksgiving

LadyM...

Things lay and people lie

Yes — Rose is right — hens lay and people lie.
Hens LAY because they PUT/PLACE something in their nest.
People lie because they REST.

I will lay (put) my book on the table.
I laid (put) the book on the table.
I have laid(put) my book there every day.

I will lie (rest) on the couch for an hour.
I lay (rested) there all day Saturday.
I have lain (rested) here long enough; time to get to work.

Does that help any?
The only time LAY is used for a person should be in the past tense meaning restED.
LAID is never used for a person.

And if you really want to have fun, try teaching that to a bunch of ninth grade boys....

I dud my first chore today, dumped the trash. H left for a meeting with his brother , maybe two of them, not sure. It is to do with farm business. I told him to be sure and get phone #. Dson siad we need a current contact list of phone #. He is right. H. said they will do lunch and he might stop by work after to see if they needed him. He took the rig I usually use had said he was going to use the other one, no worries it is not my errand day.

The fog has burned office is sunny out now. I did some writing and got planning done. I am getting nagged for more rocks but just not feeling it. I have a few dish clothes but will not be putting them out till Dec. So I can get a count of how many I made up. They will have to wait it is someone else's turn. Without kids here it is not so motivating I am doing some big girl activities that I enjoy. Our team lost Sun.

thank you d lucy - very clear for me as well.
lol re: teaching this to 9th grade boys


hi d nancy
waving at you too!

dropped dd and d mom at airport. praying for a safe and nice flight. I always worry about peanut dust when dd is flying.

yesterday dogs got into chocolate - 3 bags from the Christmas stash gifts. how they found it I will never know (I honestly didn't think they could smell through the bags. They usually don't notice. Thank goodness they are okay - I wasn't home but dh told me they got the chocolate when he was home.

time to go upstairs and work

-I did a room(s) declutter and put away. and a blessing in those rooms. I had a corny christmas movie on but I was able to get a lot done.
it looks pretty nice for Thanksgiving
-Hung up my laundry
-I had to rewash the towels that I left in the wash since Saturday

I wanted to finish my home blessing but it's not going to be.
It's so weird to not having dd and d mom home. Mom was very anxious but i know once she adjusts herself to being south again she will be okay.

Home again. I went on to the library for a research day today, after the dr appointment. I got home about 6:15, poor muffin had her legs crossed so we went ahead and walked around the block.

Dh is away tonight. I made myself a quesadilla for supper, turned on the gas fireplace and am relaxing.

Dr appointment was ok. I need to start monitoring my BP.

I walked the dog. Raked leaves and worked on bujo designs. H just called and is in the driveway now. Enjoyed our sunshine. Yep did some Nano writing.
