Scale goalsEnd of 2017: 174.6
End of 2018: 189.2
January 2019: 186.0
February 2019: 187.0
Today: 190.4
Ongoing plans/ideas behind the cut1. Purchases: Go to Mac store and see if they can retrieve the files off the iMac. Look for an "ugly Christmas sweater" and a long-haired doll at thrift stores. Practice French braiding. Go to used bookstore and look for Design for How People Learn (Julie Dirksen), On Writing (Stephen King), Dying for a Paycheck (Robin Hardman), The Prince (tr. Tim Parks, Russell Price, or Robert Adams), The Secret Adversary (Christie). Add lamp and wobble board to grocery list.
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.
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: Apr 25 Dentist. Apr 22 McC. Call to set up checkups with Dass (October). GET MAGAZINES FOR COLLAGES FROM DOCTORS.
7. Theater: Audition for Mamma Mia???
8. House: Mineral oil on tile spots. Check with D about ceiling.
9. Fun: Open beading on Thursdays. May 4 is SW Day and FCB Day. Coloring at library on Tuesday.
WFTY: Climbing. Got my run in. 4 miles at 59:37. *sigh* Everything is SO HARD ;p

Yesterday started out as a good day and then piled on a world of suck at the end. A storm rolled in, and so I got to keep my most rambunctious class for an extra hour and a half PAST the final bell. Did NOT get my lifting in. So that means I get to stay late today if I'm going to do it and miss out on time with my husband (one of the reasons I wanted to lift yesterday was that he was scheduled to stay late at HIS school). So I got home and I was irritated and frazzled and got none of my essay work done either. I was exhausted and accomplished N O T H I N G. Did get lunch packed for today. So not QUITE nothing. And then I went to bed.
*hugs* to @HEGoddard0928 and @lafayettenana and everyone else struggling with medical stuff. Not only is it a physical thing, it's stressful as heck.4 -
Good morning everyone!
I'm feeling slightly better now that I'm at work. It's a super easy day today. I get most of it to myself. Lol.

Positive thought: My mom and I are getting along better than we have in forever. She is much nicer these days.
I think I may be feeling better, I ate Mexican last night and it didn't kill me. My stomach is still grumbling a bit, but not like it was, and I feel stronger after eating. My weight loss has also slowed over the last few days to a more reasonable 0.2# in 2 days. I'm just hoping that when I get hydrated the weight doesn't pack back on. Even if it does, it's ok because I'm tired of being tired and too weak to do things I like.
Now for my funny story of the day... The kids at church were making Mother's Day crafts Wednesday evening, and the teens decided to join them. Painted Mother's Day flower pots was the craft. I come downstairs and look in and someone said "You'll never forget this Mother's Day gift". My daughter proceeds to tell me that she was going to write Mother, but she instead wrote Mom. No big deal, but she didn't pay attention to what she had done. She told me she started to put an "e' in then realized an "e" doesn't go there so she did the "ther" still not realizing what she had done. My daughter is a 16 year old honors student who was designated "gifted" way back in grade school. I am one proud Momther. She told me she went ahead and put the date on it so I'd know she was 16 when she did it. The child has no shame, but at least she can laugh at herself.

So today ive had an okay day. Managing my emotions a bit better, holding my tongue a bit too to stop me flying off the handle.
I havent posted goals in ages.
And i didnt intend to, but today i logged.
Its my first baby step to starting again.
I dont think im gonna post goals still. I think for now its best i just do what i can in the day, and let you know what i managed rather than feeling like ive failed when i cant achieve what i planned. Does that make sense?
I did make a list last night of all the cleaning i had to do. A very detailed list so i knew EXACTLY what i had to do. And catergorized into rooms. I got music on and got cracking.
I blitzed the lounge and it looked great. Until the kids got home but i dont feel disheartened because i DID still achieve it. I would have got more done but we went out and got lots of new curtains and bits for the house.
Kids are away until tomorrow night now.
So thats a positive in that i can have a bit of a rest and get more stuff done.

Cschmitz110515 - That restaurant that specializes in Local is a great idea.
Nlmackey98 - Love the taco reference! That will be a Mother’s Day craft you’ll have forever. I have one from my daughter in Grade 2, it was the one where they have to say what they think about each letter in Mother. Her O says “other mothers aren’t as special to me”. I had that one hanging for years after she was an adult.
Lafayettenana- hope you have a speedy recovery.
Clicketykeys - what kind of storm kept the kids after school?
Hegoddard0928 - I hope Matt gets better soon. I understand how your depression is kicking you right now, and hope you are able to fight it back quickly.
AJB1014 - it’s hard when you have so many that love you and you love. Makes for hard decisions some days, maybe his Mother will enjoy having one on one time with him. I know I appreciate it when I get with my girls now because it is so rare.
Bex953172 - happy to see you posting, one step at a time and you’ll get there.
Well I said I had an amazing day yesterday. I spent over 2 hours shopping with the Maid of Honor and one Bridesmaid for supplies for the bachelorette party. We came back to the house and I made supper, Lauryn then arrived and we started crafting. Lauryn and the one bridesmaid left around midnight and the maid of honor and I worked until 4am! We managed to get a lot accomplished, but have way more to finish. She is probably coming out next Thursday as well. Her original plan was to spend the day today too, but she is a bridesmaid in a wedding this weekend and had duties for it today.
I took the time out from crafting last night to go to my swim lesson. I love my new instructor, he pushes me out of my comfort zone and gives me the confidence I need to do it. For those of you that followed along last year with all of my frustration with breathing, I GOT IT, I was so proud of myself last night. I swam back and forth and back and forth for about 40 minutes and only stood up once in the middle of a lap! Then we went into the deep end. I had faith that I could swim from deep end out, but not shallow end in. I did it twice, once he held his finger on my back to show me I could do it, second he swam beside me! If Rodger didn’t have to work and we hadn’t had a houseful he would have appreciated my energy waking him up when I got home!
Lauryn and Michaela picked me up bright and early this morning to go shopping and we got home at lunchtime. My eating today has been like a teenagers! I had coffee for breakfast, KD for lunch and am eating frozen pizza for supper right now. I know my calories will be over today because I’m too tired to work it off, but I had 500 calories in the green yesterday when I closed my diary so I think I’m fine.
I am going to design a couple of gifts for Lauryn tonight for Mother’s Day for the kids to give her. She said they are struggling money wise right now and she is sure Ryan has nothing planned.4 -

My eating has been out of control this evening. I was really ticked at myself, but then I looked back over my diary. I’ve felt poorly since the beginning of the month. There were only 2 days since May 1st when I ate over 700 calories. Im going to give myself a break and not fret over a few extra calories. Im actually hungry. I guess when my appetite comes back it doesn’t mess around. Guess my weight will be up a little tomorrow and that’s ok.3
