Feels like a Tuesday, don’t it? I’m tired and mildly stressed but am going to post anyway. Lucky you.
We put in a good day, my stay-at-home scholars and me. Even with an early morning trip to the pediatrician for well-child visits (a triple header, it was, with Joe, Jem, & Angela all being seen), we were able to get back on track once we got home. I thought about skipping both recess and lunch to get ‘er done, but that’d be mean.
So instead we spent time running around in the gorgeous Autumn sun and we checked English, Math, & History off the list—how cool is that? The sandwiches that I threw in them as we transitioned from the backyard to the classroom seemed to sate them; we settled in and I feel no guilt.
Hey, here’s a funny for you. Actually, it is a story that perhaps only a fellow homeschooler can appreciate but I’m going to tell it anyway. The kidlets & I went to Sammy’s the other day for a little lunch (hot buttered pretzels & bottled water, yum) and some light shopping. We stopped to get a sample from the gal in the frozen food aisle—some type of miniature corn dog thingy dipped in cheese—and we stood there munching on our processed treats, the sample lady peered over at us and opened her mouth to speak.
And then she shut it.
And then she opened it again, and I’m thinking, “Okay, Lady, what’s on your mind?” I knew, basically, what was coming.
“Your kids are….” She stopped again. She was just struggling with the word here. “Your kids are….homebound, aren’t they?”
So I’m going to go make supper for my homebound children now. We are not having miniature corn dog thingies, which is too bad because I’ve got a meeting at 7:00 and would do well to save some time.
Oh, and here’s one more photo for the “Blog the Dog” category. I hope you ladies know I’m being very tongue-in-cheek with all of these. Perhaps you’re just getting sick of reading about all these brand-new-pet adventures. In any case, if you can’t laugh about it then…it’s just not funny.
Right? 
I call this one, “Dang it, Ellie! We needed that.”
Have a good night, everyone.
Ad Jesum per Mariam,
“HOMEBOUND” heeheehee, that’s a new one on me! I’m sure she meant well, but that one is a funny! I would love to hear your answer to her…and did you snort the corn dog thingie out yer nose before you answered her?
Hmmm…isn’t the fact that you were out in public with your children proof positive that you are NOT in fact homebound?
BTW, Netflix lets you put two movies in one envelope just in case you “lose” one. I would definitely classify that envelope as “lost.”
love the Netflix envelope…just the other day I was having minor heart palpitations because I couldn’t find the envelope momentarily, didn’t know what I’d do…good to know, the 2 in 1! oh…and it was found! your dog is just too cute to get too upset with her!
YEEK, she didn’t eat the DVD too, did she?
I teach “HOMEBOUND” students. That’s what it’s called here when a student is too sick/injured/pregnant/postpartum to attend school. Then they call people like me to go to their homes and keep them up on their classwork. It’s occasional work but I really love it.
Barb, homebound, huh? I guess the lady thought your kids were too sick to be out. :::giggle:::
I’m glad the dog didn’t eat the dvd too.
Homebound! I love it. We are a pitiful lot, aren’t we?
LOL!
If they are homebound, what does that make YOU???
Give Elody lots of hugs and kisses from us!
Just wanted to let you know I am thoroughly enjoying your dog picture series….if nothing else then to remind me that as much as I *want* a dog, I am NOT ready for one right now 😉
We *love* PEEP over here too!
Sorry the dog ate the envelope…
