Here's my randomness for the week:

  • Homeschooling is going pretty well. We’re adjusting, but that was to be expected.

  • I’m surprised about how much I’m loving reading The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo. I’ve never read it before.

  • Planning another visit to Tree Adventure, but this time with friends.

  • Migraines suck. Especially when attempting to homeschool…

  • Looking forward to hot tea season.

Here's my randomness for the week:

  • Deep into homeschool planning and it makes my little planner heart so happy!

  • My picture may be up somewhere in the library. I checked out another 55 books yesterday for curbside pickup. Plus we got our summer reading program prizes.

  • I don’t want the Murderbot Diaries series to end! I know there’s another book coming, but not until like next year. I need more now!

  • All the grocery stores were out of chicken breasts which means I need to rework our meal plan for this week. Thankfully one had an abundance of salmon fillets, so we have tonight taken care of.

  • Lists and piles all over my craft room. That seems normal.

  • The paper work has been submitted, we are officially homeschooling Arthur next year.

  • So I’m now deep into resource sourcing mode.

Here's my randomness for the week:

  • The drop in temperatures yesterday was glorious. I am so over 90-100 degree days.

  • I’ve been averaging almost a book a day lately and goodness… My anxiety is manifesting in very weird ways.

  • I’ve fallen behind on on the new (and last) season of The 100. I really want to catch up, but gotta find the time.

Here's my randomness for the week:

  • Forecast is calling for days of rain. I may just kick the kids of the house anyway…. They are really not good staying inside this long.

Here's my randomness for the week:

  • With the weather nicer, I want to go places even more. So sad that I cannot.

  • I did order a blow-up pool and some bubbles for the kids once it’s warm again.

  • And I impulse ordered an entire box of books from Book Outlet. Terrible, but I couldn’t resist.

Here's my randomness for the week:

  • Quarantining is hard, but the weather has at least been cooperating this week.

  • I need to go grocery shopping tomorrow or Saturday. Dreading it greatly…

  • I loved our outing to the Wildlife Safari yesterday even if the boys were grumpy. (Don’t worry, no one can get out of their cards. Just fun to see the animals.)

  • #teamcake anyone?

  • I keep waiting for more restrictions to come from our governor, but so far, they have been “suggestions.”

Here's my randomness for the week:

  • Happy Birthday to my two first babies! They definitely aren’t babies anymore and are taller than I am.

  • Meal planning and grocery shopping are terrible right now. I have so much anxiety over food…

  • This social distancing is really doing wonders for my reading. So many pages read this past week.

  • We finally have finished moving everything to the new house and got the old house cleaned on Tuesday. Hoping to sign off on everything by tomorrow. One less worry.

  • If my sandpaper would ever get delivered, I could start prepping the craft/library room for painting.

  • Related, I need to finish removing the caulk from the blue bathroom so we can recaulk it and prep for painting.

  • Home school with Arthur is going fairly well. We’re relaxed but still trying to structure our days a bit so they don’t devolve into fights and too much television.

  • I got my first new house items delivered yesterday. So ecited!

  • I’ve read a couple of shorter books this week and it’s really helped my reading momentum.

  • Still planning out my birthday day, but it’s shaping up really well.

  • The wallpaper in the craft room is so much easier to take off than the bathroom.

Here's my randomness for the week:

  • I abhor wallpaper…. and unfortunately the people who owned our house put it up professionally. Six hours and I’ve only scrapped off two walls in the bathroom. This is going to be a long process.

  • I’ve completely forgotten about Valentine’s Day. I need to make the cards for the class soon…

  • Paint colors are too overwhelming right now. I need to narrow it down.

  • Dreaming of that Ethiopian stew we had a few weeks back. It was so incredibly good!

  • Thinking about a massage for my birthday day. Now I need to find a place.

Here's my randomness for the week:

  • Ugh Hannah B! I can’t believe what she did on The Bachelor this week. So wrong.

  • We had a plumbing emergency last night. So not fun to deal with while finishing dinner and getting the boys ready for bed. Really hoping there’s not too much damage.

  • After this work project is over, I’m going to craft for like three days straight.

  • I think I need to do a library ban for February. Not starting the year off reading my own shelves like I wanted.

  • Winter is a horrible time to attempt making bread. The dry air is killing my rise!

  • Honda and the DMV finally got their crap together to get our license plates switched over. Waiting 7 months for mine. Ridiculous!

Here's my randomness for the week:

  • My reading momentum is incredible this week! Seriously knocking out the books.

  • The boys have been a handful lately. So many fights! Ugh!

  • I picked up so many great recipe books this week. Working on next year’s food project. Stay tuned.

  • Speaking of, we’re probably going to complete our grilled cheese project slightly early. 40+ recipes of weekly grilled cheese has really gotten a bit old. Things are tasting repetitive lately.

  • I need heavier footwear for winter. My mid-calf gray boots are not going to cut it.

  • All I want to do is wear cozy sweaters and scarves. So cold this week!

Here's my randomness for the week:

  • Spooky Movie Month has been so much fun, but it’s sometimes really hard to keep J on track. He wanders too much in his viewing habits.

  • Lots of comics series ending this month. Weird feeling.

  • Hoping to knock out at least one more spooky book before the month ends. And I’m sure a few will bleed into November.

  • Looking forward to crop day on Sunday. People are actually coming!!!

  • Really need to get on making two Halloween cards for the twins.

  • Speaking of, need to finish paying their semester school bill this week.

  • Flu shots! Really need to work these into our schedule this week or next.

  • I had to make another car appointment. The technician decided to tell me after I checked out on Monday that I need to do a brake fluid flush and some other things. Ugh! Another trip to the dealership and the only non-afternoon appoint was next Monday.
