Morning! I missed posting goals yesterday, but had a good day eating, got chores done and had my mom over for dinner on the patio. 🟢🟢🟢
Today I’m singing for a wedding for the first time in a while. The music is pretty simple, but yesterday there was a last minute change to add Ave Maria. The song itself isn’t hard, but I always get so nervous with that one because everyone knows it and has high expectations. I get into my head and then don’t breathe correctly. It’s never gone bad, but it’s not as good as it should be. 🎶
JFT SATURDAY:
- eat sensibly
- SING FOR WEDDING!
- Get some chores done
- Make a yummy dinner

I thought I barely did anything yesterday but looking back at this list I did more than I thought. Lol. At about 1:30 my Godmom texted me and asked me if I wanted to come over. I was waist deep in legalise and definitely needed a break. My head was spinning. Also, she makes the best egg salad. I ended up having TWO egg salad sandwiches and stayed for like 3 hrs. Lol. It was good to hang out with her for a while. I don't do it often enough.
But today I have to get back into all the legal stuff again. It's really annoying. But necessary if I want to monetize my blog. Which I do.
Also, our Governor said that schools can do all remote learning this year and my school district said it would. However, we have a huge special needs program that doesn't work well with remote learning since it's mostly one on one. There's a special meeting between the district and special needs parents about whether or not they want to open the school just for them. If they do, I have a job. If not, I'm still stuck on unemployment still.

Yesterday went well enough, though I'm very tired right now. I had to stop on the drive home for a bit as I was so tired. I had prepared double food on Friday so I had food ready to zap when I got in (first time I'd made a crustless quiche to save on the calories). Living alone I'm used to eating the same thing more than once.
My laundry this week will be a challenge, a bed which was spotless a week ago was so dirty that I expect to have to bin some of it. Stains on all the bedding, right down to the mattress and carpet and towels. And used underwear under the bed, ugh! This summer our holiday guests are being asked to strip their beds and make sure the dishes are clean before they leave, but some are just not bothering. It's so the cleaners are not shaking any virus which may be on bedding into the air, and to give more time to disinfect everything.
JFT Sunday 16th August
Log everything
Stay in the green
Back exercises
Foot exercises
5 fruit and veg
Start laundry
Walk, must get back to walking
Don't use Sunday as an excuse to snack

- eat sensibly

- Phone appointment
- Laundry!
- Softball

Morning all
It rained all day yesterday so a fairly depressing half of the weekend. After a not very promising start it’s now sunny but the rain is forecast to return soon so hoping to get out and back before the heavens open! Workout is done but I’ve got the second session of couch to 5k for the kids so will combine that with heading out for some lunch.
Glad it went well @SERmom3! @littleblackskirt - that’s horrible! Can’t believe people behave like that anywhere but especially someone else’s home/business...
@HEGoddard0928 - how frustrating to not know the plan for school/work. Here in the UK the momentum is definitely towards full reopening in September, come what may. We managed to get about half of the kids in our school back before the summer holiday and they definitely benefitted being back in school. But now people are travelling for holidays and businesses are reopening, numbers might spike again which puts school opening under pressure. It’s such a nightmare. I really feel for everyone who has employment uncertainty right now. X

Can anyone suggest a reasonable punishment for this? (Marley and Casey)
Because I honestly just don't know anymore. They've defeated me.
Thats a family size cornflakes, 1/2 box of shreddies, a full box of ReadyBrek (porridge oats finely milled) and FORTYEIGHT weetabix.4 -
@Bex953172 Do you keep your pantry foods in a bottom cabinet? Because if the boxes are easily accessible this will probably keep happening.
@Faebert I'm glad you were able to get your run in. It's supposed to pour all day here. But it's nice and cool so we have the windows open and a fan on. No AC today.
@SERmom3 I'm glad that your song went well! Our wedding was super small like that. But it was also perfect. Lol
@littleblackskirt People are so gross! I can't believe they did that! I hope you charged them extra!3 -

Make them clear it up like Snowflake suggested?
Store the cereals on a really high shelf in future?
Sorry, not much help! I think you need to consider *why* they're doing this. Are they trying to get your attention?Do they need more guided play? Going outside? Are they being left to their own devices too much? As someone said earlier, small children can't be trusted alone. Some things to think about anyway.

- 50 word challenge📚688! Not much but it was mostly hysterical dialogue. And I finished a really long chapter.
- peddle for 1 hr 😁I realized that I was probably logging out wrong because it's more of a recumbent bike than an actually stepper. So I logged it that way and burned a bunch more calories!

- brainstorm freebies(check competitors sites)😐Kind of? I got an idea or two in my brain.
I went food shopping early in the morning yesterday and by the time I got home I was completely wiped out so I ended up laying down and slept for an hour and a half. Then I spent most of the rest of the day working on more legal stuff for my blog but it's almost done! I should be able to finish it all up today and then not have to worry about it again! It's just a major headache because of a new privacy law passed in California and one in the EU. So I have to do all this extra stuff. Matt closes his store tonight so I have some time to myself again. I'll probably try to get the rest of the training videos done then.
Um... I'm learning the ins and outs of Pinterest too. Lol. Because apparently Pinterest is a blogger's best friend. But once this legal stuff is done I'll have a lot more time to focus on other things for it. The set up is just a pain in the *kitten*.
Okay, enough complaining. Onto same goals.

Unfortunately it's not easy to charge for damages. Everyone thinks what they've broken isn't much, but the costs add up for me. I only try to charge if it's really bad (like the time the teenagers carved their initials in my lovely old dressing table! Even then, their parents didn't believe me until I told them which letters had been carved!)
This year some of the guests have had to cancel their foreign holidays, so my place is second choice, and I think that attitude is showing in how they treat it.
Great idea to get on Pinterest, I often browse on there, so many lovely things to look at, love all the decorating stuff

@bex953172 - I think the only thing that’s going to stop it is to stay with them. They are quite young to be trusted alone yet.2
-
Thanks for the replies.
Feeling like a right €rappy parent atm.
That was maybe one hour at the most alone?
Thing is I've always been able to leave them for short bursts like that, always.
I just dont get why they're doing it now?
I'll try switch out some activities for new ones. Incase they're getting bored?
I dunno, all I know is that I'm just exhausted from it3 -
@Bex953172 , I'm not saying this to make you feel like a crappy parent, honestly, but I think an hour is too long to leave small kids alone. I can't leave our 18 month old alone for 2 minutes or he's up to something he shouldn't be! I know yours are a little older, but not old enough to be trusted for long.
Another thought, again I'm only looking at it as an outsider. I see you have a dog in the photo, does the dog stay with the kids when they're alone? Children can quite inadvertently hurt a dog when playing, and the dog can react aggressively. We have 2 really soft friendly dogs, but I still watch our lad if he's playing with them just in case.
Hope you have an uneventful evening!0 -

Do you know what, youre all completely right. It is too long.
Me and Ash had a talk and realised its just because weve not been as available as normal to them. We were both feeling very down about stuff but fortunately we've noticed it too and have discussed to find a way back.
No the dog doesn't stay with them. He's always around them when I'm about, theyre pretty good with him (but like you say I don't trust anything alone)
Hes allowed to roam the hall and upstairs when im not with them. Only because when they play he gets excited too but he's too big for them.
Least i thought of that lmao! But not moving the cereal after the first time?
Thank you all guys
Really needed a wake up call!2 -
Can anyone suggest a reasonable punishment for this? (Marley and Casey)
.
I've been absent for the past week... and just got on today and saw this Bex!! OMG ... I would be in tears!!!
Like the others had suggested, when my kids were small.. even older than yours, I could never leave them alone for very long. When they were the ages of your kids .. I always got suspicious if things got quiet. So even if I was in the kitchen, and they would be downstairs, I always had to go and check on them.
You are NOT a bad parent ... these are just little kids, testing and having fun (well, to them this was fun!).
Hang in there .. you are a great parent. But I can hear your frustration. Take it easy on yourself. When they are playing, can you just find a good book so you have some time to yourself, yet keep an eye on them?
@Faebert == I see you are back! We missed you .. so happy to see you back posting.
I have not posted I think for a week. Its been a stressful, yet very busy week. But we are all doing OK. We bought our daughter a smart TV, hooked her up with Netflix, and hope that will help her to feel more comfortable in her apartment. She comes out EVERY nite, and with the heat and mosquitos, it is so uncomfortable sitting outside, but I know she gets lonely.
My goals for tomorrow will be simple again.
1. log all food
2. concentrate on water
3. go for 5 mile walk

@Bex953172 - don’t feel bad at all! All parents learn what works and what doesn’t for their family. This is just a lesson.
We rented the whole time my girls were young and when they were young like your girls Rodger drove truck. I waitressed and worked a lot of evening. I would be getting to bed anywhere between 1-2 and Lauryn would wake up at 6! It was awful!
My girls made a skating rink on the bathroom floor by using the jumbo bottle of baby shampoo. It took about 4 time’s through the washer (That was coin operated) with no soap to get all the shampoo out of the towels I used to sop it all up. The floor was slippery for weeks!
The other most memorable one, Lauryn did alone. Kaitlyn was still in a crib. She watched me use Carpet Fresh on the carpet. The next morning I woke up to an awful smell, turns out she had used the large can of Parmesan cheese to sprinkle on the carpet like I had with the carpet fresh. I vacuumed it up and ended up throwing the vacuum out because I couldn’t get the smell out, then I had professionals come twice to clean the carpet before I could get it out.
Don’t let any more “experienced” parents tell you their kid didn’t get into something because I don’t think there is a perfect parent or child.

I didn’t log or post girls yesterday or today because I knew I would not be following anything. I did have water both days, but I also had chips, chips and more chips. As a matter of fact Michaela has been sitting here feeding me chips. She was trying to train me like a dog. She’s 4 I don’t know where she gets these things.
These are some pics from last night. They stayed up way past bedtime and had glow sticks and S’mores.

End of July: 188.6

Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut1. Purchases: Look for an "ugly Christmas sweater" and a long-haired doll at thrift stores. Practice French braiding. Go to used bookstore and look for On Writing (Stephen King), Dying for a Paycheck (Robin Hardman), The Prince (tr. Tim Parks, Russell Price, or Robert Adams), The Secret Adversary (Christie).
2. E2: What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options. Create vocabulary lists for each unit that come from the texts used: Animal Farm, Julius Caesar, Wes Moore, I Am Malala. Find a way to incorporate changing words from one part of speech to another. Students need to know how to review multiple sources and synthesize information in order to draw a conclusion. Need practice with the difference between transitions and overlapping (at end of paragraph - "another issue is Y" vs "there are other issues besides X"). Quit using "in conclusion" and "I believe" and other writing-about-my-writing phrases. Confusion between direct/indirect objects and prepositional phrases. Use the UDHR and the Declaration of Independence to study paraphrasing; use that to front-load Machiavelli and how to deal with challenging texts. Confusion between everyday / every day and similar constructions.
3. E1: Need practice with quoting & paraphrasing sources, identifying claims that would need support, use of last names for reference, and capitalization practice (common/proper nouns, titles). Difficulty using possessive nouns in their own writing. Honors: practice subject/object pronouns (my friend and I / my friend and me). Poetry: Revise "Songs are Poetry" handouts.
4. Curriculum Development: Writing mini-unit. Review scholarly research on 5PE. (I think I can have this as an intro to the research unit so that they also get exposure to how quotes are integrated and cited.) Parallel structure; use of emotional language, specific detail. Use "Write About a Pebble" lesson from Atwell. How long should each unit take? Do research on characteristics: curiosity, persistence, resilience, creativity, responsibility, optimism, courage, integrity, authenticity, leadership, self-awareness, humility, compassion - others? Include grammarly check on essays! Review assessments. What is the purpose for each unit? What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options. Schedule assessments for Fall 2019; plan out return times. Write 1 reflection weekly; type one in Classroom by Weds. Copy-paste to discussion board for comments due Friday. Homework: Online journal Mon due Tue; Reflection Tue due Wed; C&P journal in class Wed; Comments Thu due Fri. Bonus if you are the first response; further bonus if you respond to comments on your post. Grammar practice Mon & Wed; quiz Fri. Unit plan for research (Idea for regular: comparing same story on sites with different biases).
5. Professional Development: Write blog post weekly. Comment on 3 posts each week - Tu Th Sun? Check with PSC. Talk with Z about articles and/or conference proposals.
6. Medical: Dentist call to schedule cleaning. ObG schedule for October. PCP - allergy shots? left toe joints. Sleep center 778 3316.
7. Theater: ???
8. House: Siding. Or perhaps bathroom floor.
9. Fun: Open beading on Thursdays. Coloring at library on Tuesday. Put jewelry away. Edney Hack Nights alt Weds. ASL? Spanish/Portuguese practice? Practice piano. ROL Secret Adversary. Buy bike rack for car.
10. Volunteering ideas: Theater. Library. Animal shelter. Community Kitchen. Emerge Georgia training.
11. Family: Book group. Dinners?
12. Writing: Blog post: Running, Racism and Rum: Learning to Handle Discomfort. Fanfic.
13. Other: Practice hair braiding with D. Check on appts for drs. Remind D to ask his dad about the table and check with home repair contractors. 3 posts/week? Create test for MLA format. Create test for infographics and visual information. Therapy exercises: squats, push-ups, ankle lifts, box jumps, plank. Remember that M does not like surprises! Check dates of classes and update semester plan. She Should Run vision statement. Update standards on board. When to change bulletin board?

Morning all. Very pleased to have ended yesterday in the green. Was so tempted to snack and go over but I fought that sabotaging voice within last night. Wasn’t in the green by much but it felt like a victory!
Hi 👋 @mytime6630 - good to be back. Hope things are ok with your daughter, have thought of you often.
@cschmitz110515 - lovely pictures and you and hubby look great.
@Snowflake1968 - the grands look so grown-up!! Lovely to see you all enjoying yourselves.
@Bex953172 - no words of advice, just loads of sympathy. I remember once my oldest ‘posted’ two credit cards and a travelcard with £60 on it through the teeniest gap between two floorboards. But I think @snowflake1968 wins the prize with the Parmesan carpet story. Sorry but that had me in hysterics!!
Busy day today but I have my run done and dusted. Hope all are well and catch up later xx
