Oct. Cards 2012

[Harriet]

blessed, the guitar students are expected to complete the teacher's little form that has days-of-the-week with spaces for practice time printed in, and get it signed by a parent. The number of hours they practice per week must add up to 4. The teacher is very strict about this and if you are late with the form or don't have enough practice time signed-for, you lose points.

But... Yay!... the guitar teacher said the 3x5 card, prepared to replicate her form and signed by me, sufficed as a replacement. So dd got full credit for turning it in.

I can't help but think it carried more weight because it was on card stock - and I'm not joking about the "weight" either, I really mean 3x5s get more respect than slips of paper! I've always had this feeling. It looks like you took the information more seriously when you use a 3x5. I think that's why we ourselves mind them better.

yes dharriet those 3 x 5's mean business!!!!
so happy your dd has such a dedicated teacher!

Waving from the library doing my weekly CI to see what movies are playing this weekend
also I wanted to let you all know I'm alive and well. Pc parts are ordered it will be down at
least another week or two.

Chickens are great have been letting them free range for bugs a bit in the evenings.

waving hello ~~~~~~~~ helloooooo d nancy

[blessedw2]

glad the chickens are enjoying free ranging!

today was spent on the sick side. headache all night and stomach issues; dd also had a fever and stomach issues and stayed home. I slept until noon not comfortably - dreaming of headaches. - so headache is gone and I am still feeling in la la land. dd is up in bed, dh already had this and is asleep on the front room chair (so cute) and I am moving very very slow and sore. (but I am up - always a good thing!)

floors are clean for now... it never lasts long here. dh did the dishes and counters, and the cat litters (a nasty job that he has done two weeks in a row). if I don't do the work he seems so much happier and gets busy. I figured something out he likes when there is not major work - i.e. painting etc. and that he does the day in day out stuff such as dishes and laundry. He seems happier, and I feel guiltier when I don't accomplish things.

hot spots are building: bedroom 5 baskets, dining room a chair of folded blankets and towels, a table with sewing items that need to be finished, car is a super hotspot (looks like a homeless situation where I am living in my car)

first goal: work on finishing my sewing as it is not too strenuous - Canadian geese flock just went over head (such a beautiful sound).
3:22 pm starting -sewed, made a simple chicken soup, and felt sick again so my evening spent on using tylonel on sleeping.

Sigh ~ did not get much done on the kitchen today;
dining table needs help too.
I did get the hot spots done from the granny duty day I had yesterday.
Dgson is here now we are watching how the chickens react to a very rainy day here.

Thanks for thinking of my while the p/c was down Blessed!
I've caught up on posts here and in the Joy & C. threads, also the health and fitness but not in P.W.Y.C. or others.

My kitchen still needs more help.
I let the chickens out at noon when it started to rain I knew I was not going to mow and needed to pull up some squash vines it was interesting to watched what they did in the rain they were normal until it really started to come down when I watched from the window I saw them running across the yard to get under the deck where they stay until it was done with the worst part of the rain. They came to the chicken run a few at a time when we put scraps out for them. Dgson and sil enjoyed watching them! H. likes to feed them old movie pop corn after work. Rain the next week in the forecast not sure when I'm going to get to the mowing.

Waving to all who enter here in p/c land!
