SHEs Organized

I love the "try again" Thursday! thank you.

I ran my errands. dd's are leaving tomorrow for Florida to visit my dmom and my cousin and her dd. so I needed to get last minute things.

lots of work to be done...it's sunny and cold but it's Sunny!!!!

Morning y'all...

Nancy, can you please explain this statement to me???
"I'm frustrated b/c we just get a thing down working and then the teach & dd decide to change it around." What do you mean by change it around??? I have some ideas I can share, but need to understand more.

Nice day here and I am headed outside. Woke with a headache but am pretending it doesn't exsist. I am subbing tomorrow for my former co-teacher and again for a different on next Wed. I had two calls for today, but declined since I already had my day planned. Another of my teacher friends contacted me to work a day for her in a few weeks and I accepted.

Waving to y'all...I'm off to dig some holes

I used to play a version of hop scotch based on the individual times tables. I used chalk a lot and made up games where dd's loved to play - I had the teddy bears if we ran into trouble. (also using from time to time bubble wrap to count how many always fun.

I am still trying.. that's the thing about us she's we don't give up (at least for me ...all together lol) lately I struggle physically to work but I refuse to give up as I know I have other times that are easy after bought's like the ones I am having.

more laundry done. swiffered some floors. now for exercise walk

Okay ~ I have not seen anything like that Roo Apron but I like the design. The strap being across the upper back instead of around the neck is nice. We don't have a veg garden any more but it looks like it would be handy inside for house cleaning round-robin days for moving super fast picking up several rooms.

I would probably use a small plastic shopping bag for trash either in the "pocket" or hanging from one of the hooks used to loop up the big pocket. That would keep the big pocket cleaner to be used for put-away items or paper for recycling.

I'm inside for a break. Hoe, rake and shovel are my best friends at the moment. Will be interesting to see how my body responds to this physical work. I am considering this my exercise for the day. Still have another area to do. Don't think I bought enough "dirt in a bag" and may have to do a big box store run later. They are running a 2 for one sale on bagged dirt. I'm using the doing it right rather than doing it fast attitude.

Nancy...I wrote something to you in the Home work section in the villiage.

Lunch time and then its back at it. cy'all later........

If I was staying here, I'd ask for that apron as a gift. I love the design. When I garden, I normally grab a bucket and use it to put the garden waste into. But the apron would hold more and definitely appealed to me because it would also protect my clothes (I'll grab the bucket and weed puller and go do a run past the garden even when in nice clothes if I think about it - for instance after seeing friends off and I'm outside on the driveway.)

I'm home from my day out.

* Worked a bit at Presbytery.
* Had lunch out at Tim Horton's and cleaned another 50 emails from my in-box (down under 400 now.)
* Attended the non-profit housing board meeting
* picked up a few groceries
* picked up the mail.

Now I need to process the mail and think about what I'm doing next. Looking at my to-do list is a good start, I suppose.

Thanks for the homework suggestions, saw the one in the other thread as well; dd changed it again! LOL! I just figure out how we are going to proceed with home work schedule and dd says it's okay for dgson to go play with friends or work with his dad after school. Also b/c the teacher has some new concepts he's doing in reading he does that at home now with dd. Then later in the day dgson misbehaved on the bus and has playing w/ friends time revoked.

H. is helping dgson with math and it was getting on my nerves last night I was feeling puny. If I am helping h. comes in and takes over and it takes forever and is never done and does not seem to be doing any good that I can tell.

Dgd opened up the china hutch to show the baby N. and one dish got broke I yelled at dd I was not happy. Sort of having a rough day here.
BabyN. is asleep the trucks are outside working and that does not seem to be bothering her.
