Morning all, hope everyone had a good end to the work week. I ended up staying up quite late on the phone to my boyfriend last night and was tempted to snack but made a hot drink instead. V proud of myself as I was frustrated for various reasons, which I’ve noticed is a big trigger emotion for me, but I held firm. A later than usual exercise class for me today, but so grateful to my amazing mum for coming to take the kids so I could get my workout in. Off to shower, eat lunch and then join them now...

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: Dentist. Onco. PCP. Call to set up checkups with Dass (October). GET MAGAZINES FOR COLLAGES FROM DOCTORS.
7. Theater: Audition for Mamma Mia??? House Mgr next Friday.
8. House: Mineral oil on tile spots. Check with D about ceiling and taking items to the dump.
9. Fun: Open beading on Thursdays. Coloring at library on Tuesday.
WFTY: Climbing.
Positive thought: Caught up with my fitness plan by doing my moderate run AND lifting yesterday. Go me!3 -
Oooo. It is supposed to POUR all day tomorrow. Maybe I should send the husband for groceries while I go to the Y today...
@Snowflake1968 - WTG on the breathing!
@nlmackey98 - I'm glad to hear you're feeling better than you had been. Hopefully the appetite will ease up
@AJB1014 - It's hard when there's a parent's holiday and there's multiple sets of parents ;D We're trying to juggle plans for tomorrow too.
Update: Husband said yes! The only downside is that means I get the older car without working AC and the drive back after working out is going to be even less pleasant. Oh well - if that's as bad as it gets, this will be a lovely weekend!4 -
Good morning!
@Bex953172 big hugs to you! It's nice to see you 😊💖
@lafayettenana I hope you recover very quickly!
@Snowflake1968 that is AWESOME about the breathing at your swim lesson, you should be so proud!!

Been sick since Thursday night. Friday I slept as much as possible and I hoping today is the last of this silly sickness. I'm going to spend the weekend recovering as much as possible. Today is my son's 17th B-Day and I have a Final Exam at 8 pm tonight, so we'll see how it goes.2

I have the kids today while Lauryn is at work. I will finish her gifts and wrap them and have Jonah make a card for her. Michaela made one last weekend so I will give her an envelope to decorate today.
Today marks the 10th anniversary of me being smoke free. When I started that journey I swore I would never have another cigarette and that I wouldn’t gain weight when I did it. I didn’t gain the weight until three years later but I’m sure by my 11th anniversary I will be down. I have never had another cigarette.
Rodger woke me up early this morning and now has gone back for a nap himself. I may curl up on the couch, I still feel tired.
Have a great day everyone.4 -
@sunshinlineeze - I love your grocery note. Stick to the list! Wouldn’t we all save money and calories if we did that.
@Faebert - it sounds like you have a nice day planned.
@clicketykeys - it’s so nice when husbands help us out isn’t it?
@aubyshortcake - I think it’s important to keep posting goals and checking in, even when we don’t reach our goals, it keeps them in our mind then. After a year of doing basically the same goals everyday, I know what they are without thinking about it.
@MLHC1 - I hope you feel better fast and good luck on your exam.

JFT, 5-10-19
1. No candy tonight Well I managed to stay away from the candy but ate 4 snack cakes...
2. Wash the sandwich containers in the sink Ended up doing all of the dishes in the sink...and then made dinner so there are a few more in there that I have to clean
3. Bag the dirty clothes for tomorrow Most of them. Got the rest in today and boy was it stuffed! Had trouble closing the bag!
4. Make the skillet meal that's in the freezer Very tasty but went right through Matt. *sigh*
5. Hang out with Matt We both just hang out on the couch
6. Drink 4 water bottles/ cups of water WAAAY more. Probably closer to 7 or 8. And each refill of the bottle was 24oz. I was in the bathroom A LOT.
Had a decent night last night. Matt woke me up with coffee this morning. He snuck out of bed and woke me up with a freshly made cup. He makes it really well. Lol. And then we cuddled on the couch for like an hour and a half watching baseball. I kinda was in and out of dozing. It was really nice. So I'm thinking today will be a good day.

Glad to hear that your mom is understanding about it! Are you going to... the greenhouse, I think?1 -
So today, i will be in the green
Im starting to do normal things again, its a start, just need to keep building momentum.
The lounge got tidied again, as did the dining room.
So all thats left is to tackle the kitchen and then hopefully i can keep on top of it.
Think the only reason ill be in the green was the 2.5hrs of walking i did when we were shopping (in heels!) And then an hr of cleaning.
So baby steps!7 -

I made this for Michaela to give Lauryn for Mother’s Day. Lauryn opened it and said that she doesn’t think they make coffee strong enough. Michaela made and designed the frame herself including picking out the picture to print. That will be opened tomorrow.
