We are continuing to make progress in homeschool lessons but it is not our best day. So far today DS10 has finished lessons in history, science, technology, math, music, history, math, and math. So...8 assignments done. We haven't done any English, reading or Bible lessons yet so those will move to Next Up.
We are taking break #3 of the day so DS10 can to do volunteer work at the clothes closet with DH. It usually takes them 30 minutes to empty out the donation bins and carry them to the processing area. DH will also get lunch orders for the volunteers and get those orders in. DH will bring DS10 back home to continue doing homeschool while DH will go pick lunch up and delivery food to the volunteers.
Break #2 was a long phone call with DSis. I reached out to DSis for suggestions & how-to in preparing Wednesday night meal. We will be cooking for 100 people - Pinto Beans, fried potatoes and cornbread. DH and I have never cooked this menu for that amount of people so are unsure how much to buy and the logistics of cooking it. I made the shopping list as the 3 of us verbally went through the cooking process. When to start cooking what, what cooking pots/pans to use, what ingredients & how much of each ingredient is needed. We also developed Plan B if we cook more food than needed. We will freeze the beans and use them for next Wednesday night menu....which we decided would be chili & beans. As we were lightheartedly laughing about the wisdom of serving beans 2 weeks in a row we decided to add Beano to the shopping list.
I've texted with DD about details of who will do what for DGD7 today. Who will pick her up from school, take her to the after-school shopping event, take her to piano lessons, and where DGD7 will sleep tonight. DGD7 will be here again tonight. DSIL has moved out of their house. I suspect DGD7 will be living here even more than normal.
