Hi everyone! Well, my house is still not sold! . Ex says that the summer is slow and we have to be patient ... sigh! I have one showing booked today so far ... My two dd's and my mum came over for dinner and Scrabble last night ... here they are! Yes, we had McDonald's for dinner. No big plans today ... I have to hang out at Starbucks during the showing. Oh, I do need to watch the movie "Finding Dory" ... I'll be showing it to my Humanities classes this week ... I'm working with a teacher that has all of these new ideas and me and my other grade 7 buddy are scrambling to keep up to him ... we need to somehow meet in the middle soon. Dinner tonight will be a Summer Chicken Salad from my meal kit box. What are your plans today? What is on your menu tonight? Have a great Saturday everyone!

Good morning. That is just a lovely photo of your mum and 2 dd's. While you're at Starbucks may the universe open up and sprinkle BUY THIS NOW dust on the clients. Enjoy Finding Dory. Remember that every kid knows 2 addresses, theirs and P. Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way! Enjoy your day, leannec. I'm about to go take care of the doggie that I'm babysitting. She's so sweet, but having never owned a dog she's a bit of work. I felt like I was a 14 year old baby sitter last night. I had to what'sapp sil and have her walk me through some things. I was worried. MOOOOMMMMM! The cats are easy. I just feed them and go. When I get home one of my cats gives me the scentdown. He does not like the D-O-G! It has to G-O! Apart from animal care I'll hang out w/my puzzle. Yds didn't come home last night, but will be home this am. I'm gonna make it a takeout night. Enjoy today, my lovelies.

Hope you get an offer soon leannec ! That loft like setting for the table is cool. Really like that. We just cleaned the front of our place - front patio, furniture, windows. Dh just needs to remove a few more spider webs. Going to have a treat from Starbucks for breakfast today. Family member sent me a gift card for my birthday. After that we will be doing some more chores then relax the rest of the day. I haven't really scrubbed the master tub since June due to my ACL injury. Going to brace up and get that super scrubbed. Just been doing light cleanings. I am turning left over chicken from last night into stir fry. There will be broccoli, asparagus, and onion along with rice noodles, rice, and cauliflower rice. Oh and of course the chicken. Saturday is usually FIYS night but don't want the left overs to go to waste.

Love the photo leannec. Sending good vibes for an offer! I'm heading out to hopefully buy some salmon for dinner and go to the library to pick up season 2 of The Good Fight. Not to beat a dead horse but it is a fabulous show filled with guest stars such as Alan Alda, Matthew Perry, and lots from The Good Wife.

Hi Everyone, leannec I love that picture of your DDs and your Mum. I hope that you get an offer on your house. Have fun watching Dory. scrapmaven Only you would remember that address! Hehehe Now I want to watch it. But I to many other house things to do. My dog now does the smell test on me every time I walk in the door. I usually say “No I didn’t cheat n you” or “Yes, mommy was bad and I cheated on you.” It is so funny to see their expressions. Last night was fun for me. But my poor YDS got stung twice by wasps, doing media for the football game. DH went and brought some Sting Ease to him and told him if he started to feel like his throat was closing to go to the paramedics at the ambulance. Another kid was stung 3 times; so my son shared the Sting Ease. I have not heard from ODS on what’s going on with his campus. Today I am cleaning and doing laundry. Dinner is going to be subs or some people call them grinders. YDS is picking them up from a place where his friend works.

Happy Saturday! We’ve already been to two soccer games this morning. My business partners birthday is Monday, since I will be gone I wanted to get something for the office. She loves cupcakes from a bakery in town. I went to get some and they were closed today. I settled on Crumbl Cookies. They are ridiculously expensive. Need to finish packing. We leave for the airport in a few hours. That is a great picture leannec. Your meme cadoodlebug is so me. I can’t trust myself to read before bed or I will read until I finish the book. I think dinner will be at the airport.

leannec How are you doing now that you’re back to school? Kind of a lazy day here today. It’s nice and cool and I got some stuff done early and I’m just hanging out actually. Dinner is going to be honey garlic chicken and maybe some sweet corn.

leannec How are you doing now that you’re back to school? I'm actually doing OK because the kids that I have this year are the COMPLETE opposite of last year! My classes are bigger (we actually need a fifth grade 7 class but it's not going to happen) so that is a challenge ... The students are soooooo nice and are making the attempt to work! That's all I ask! I don't have any serious behaviour issues - yet. What I do have is a team member that is accustomed to teaching grade 9 and is leading us with work over the head of these students ... my other team member and I have to simplify almost everything which is time consuming. I also have many many meetings to attend ... and I need to phone all of my Homeroom families on Monday to introduce myself and just make initial contact ... It is overwhelming but I'm surviving so far ... doing this while keeping my house show home ready for showings

leannec lovely picture destined2bmom ouch! Your poor son. I remember being at the Oakland Zoo when DS was little and having a wasp crawl under my sandal to sting me. That hurt. Can't imagine getting it twice. Poor guy. Does that med work well? Poor DH got called in on his day off. I took the little wonder out for a long walk. Didn't get much sleep last night so may nap. Tonight will be carne asada fajitas.

We went to the Italian place (Mary’s) for dinner last night. Tonight is likely Mexican. We do have our routines. Responding to posts from yesterday: taylortroop, I was so sorry to read about your MIL. Hugs to you. bc2ca, sorry about the doctor’s office troubles. Hope they straighten things out quickly and get you taken care of. christine58, about meals at our crops, we used to be able to bring in meals but not since COVID. This particular venue is in a town with lots of restaurants and fast food options, so we just have breakfast (included) at the hotel, and then go out for lunch and/or dinner as desired. We can also get meals delivered from some of the places near here.

I need to phone all of my Homeroom families on Monday to introduce myself and just make initial contact ... Is that something new? I imagine you will mostly be leaving messages unless caller ID identifies the school calling, and then it would be a lot of relieved parents who answered because they think something it up. At 7th grade, we only met the teachers if we went to the at back-to-school night. Sending house selling vibes your way. cadoodlebug, I loved The Good Wive and hated that The Good Fight was a streaming only option. It is on my list to watch now that we took advantage of the Paramount+ deal. I am over my pity party from yesterday and have accepted that I will get this surgery eventually, whether in days, weeks or months. A big part of my frustration/disappointment was I thought it would be done before my September retreat and was so excited to see properly again for that event. Then I started borrowing trouble as my mom would say, and got anxious that the rescheduled surgery would clash with my retreat dates. Reality is I am likely looking at Feb and will take any cancellation between now and then. After talking to dad yesterday (still sick with Covid but feeling much better), I'm leaning toward my surgeon or someone on her team might be sick and everything is in limbo until they are back. Then the mad scramble to reschedule/prioritizing patients will happen. Until then, I'm just going to be patient. It's hard to explain to anyone what is going on with my vision but my favorite story is coming out of a Starbucks restroom, looking around, spotting DD and walked over to her. I was talking away while looking in my purse for something when it registered that this "DD" didn't have a tattoo on her arm (my real DD does have a tattoo). OMG, I walked up to a complete stranger who vaguely resembled DD. I have told friends that if they see me out and about they can't just wave to get my attention. They have to call out my name. Dinner tonight will be grill Hatch chile marinated pork chops and another new to us Ottolenghi salad ( pear and fennel salad).

My student population is very multicultural and so my only stressor is the language barrier. Sometimes we just can't communicate well but everyone is so freaking nice! They really respect teachers. This is the third year I have had to do this ... third year with this principal. It is time consuming but I think the parents appreciate it. Thanks for the house selling vibes ... I need them!!!

bc2ca, I'm sure that you want your vision fixed asap. I truly hope that the doctors can come through this week, but I'm glad that you're willing to be patient. That's hard to do.

bc2ca I'm so sorry about your vision. With that said, it would totally be like me to walk up to someone who wasn't my child and start talking too. I can see just fine, however, I don't pay attention really well. I spent the day with my mom packing up her apartment. For a one bedroom apartment, she sure did have a lot of stuff in there. And my sister was there yesterday! They were having some event at her complex so we went down and got some food. Just typical BBQ food. I'm home now and I feel like I need a shower. I'm tired.

Good Sunday morning from Down Under! Yesterday I spent with Sophia. First, I met her and DS at the swim centre so I could watch her swimming lesson. Then after lunch, we went to a farm and patted lots of baby animals. Dinner was with them - beef stroganoff with noodles and beans.
Today I am meeting my extended family on dad's side - the one remaining auntie, 4 cousins, a second cousin and my 2 sisters - for lunch at auntie's house. She's 86, so it's easiest if we go to her. We've just made a waldorf salad and dipped strawberries in chicilate as our contribution to lunch.

I remember being somewhere when a toddler latched onto my leg. A few minutes later he looked up and realized I was a stranger and started crying. Luckily his mom was there to rescue ME!

leannec 🤞🏻It sells this week. I’m anxious for you to find a new condo so I know you must be much more than me. destined2bmom your poor son. Wasp stings Linder and then itch for a long time. We went bed shopping today. Started out at Sleep Number. I doubt dh is going to agree to spending that much. Then we went to the storage unit for stuff we needed. But they’re so far in the back and buried so we came home empty handed. Stopped for Buffalo chicken salads.
