Odds and Ends

Here's my randomness for the week:

  • I’m in the middle of three not very fun books. My next read really needs to be fun.

  • Craving some comfort food this week. Not sure exactly what, but comfort food.

  • On second thought, I really want some gummies this week… Guess I need to pop back into Target for some Albanese gummy bears.

  • My brain is telling me that I’ve forgotten to do something this week. I cannot remember.

Odds and Ends

Here's my randomness for the week:

  • I finally caught the cold that the boys had. It’s terrible. I hate not being able to sleep.

  • As such, I will not be going to coop tomorrow, but hoping to drop off Arthur as he’s fully recovered.

  • Halfway through our rewatch of His Dark Materials and it’s just as good as I remembered.

  • Two dud reads in a row was not fun at all. Thankfully I started a fun romance that’s making me want to read.

  • We’re restarting the His Dark Materials television series to remember everything before starting season three. It is one of our favorite book series. The series has been a really good adaptation.

  • So many romance books this month. My reading has exploded!

  • My body is feeling better although I still get twinges of pain now and then.

Odds and Ends

Here's my randomness for the week:

  • Our first coop of the spring semester! It promises to be controlled chaos per usual.

  • I may have overdone it this past few days. And I think my anxiety is getting to me.

  • Thankfully, my minor surgery is on Monday. I should be on the road to less pain.

  • Thinking about our To Watch list. I need to make a new one and maybe one for February Movie Month.

  • Excited for my new sneakers.

Odds and Ends

Here's my randomness for the week:

  • Today is our last coop meeting of the semester! We’re taking a break for the holidays. As much as I love coop, I’m ready for a little break to recenter.

  • White chocolate cranberry cookies (or cake) sounds like a plan for today’s cooking.

  • I think I’m going to DNF my current read, or maybe I will suffer through. It’s just not catching my attention.

  • Feeling very cozy and comfy this week. The snow today is magical.

Odds and Ends

Here's my randomness for the week:

  • Rereading an old favorite and it’s still so good.

  • Thinking about Christmas presents. Not sure which direction to take with the boys.

  • We’re officially indoors for coop until probably late March/early April.

  • Might need to swing by and get a pick-me-up coffee later after errands. It’s cold and dreary today.

Odds and Ends

Here's my randomness for the week:

  • Dentist appointment this morning and surprisingly I had very little pain.

  • Unfortunately, I had pain elsewhere due to my scar tissue. Can’t have an entire day pain free…

  • I did make a doctor’s appointment to start the long process of figuring out everything that’s wrong with me, but it’s not until early December.

  • Thinking about extending Spooky Book Month through November. There are so many good ones on my stack that I am not going to get to by Tuesday.

  • I really need to make a clothing shopping list for myself. Underwear and socks are a must. I want some new Pjs also and my sneakers are getting very worn.

  • The area around my chair is mess. I haven’t had a chance to clear up the curriculum piles, library books, magazines, and assorted items. Guess what I’m doing Saturday morning.

Odds and Ends

Here's my randomness for the week:

  • Dealing with the management side of coop is not my favorite at all…

  • Temperatures are all over the place once again his week and next. I would like a week of 60-70 degree temps please. That would be magical.

  • My patio furniture was moved inside for the party and I think it may live in my living room for the winter. I feel silly putting it back outside, but also the space in the garage has changed since April.

  • COVID boosters were just approved for kids! I’m off to make appointments for the boys!

Here's my randomness for the week:

  • Birthday party prep is going well, but I still have so much to do. I’m getting there…

  • I overdid it at Vala’s on Monday, but I might go again on Friday. we just won’t be spending 6 1/2 hours there….

  • Book club was a treat this week. We spent four hours chatting about books and other things. And we spent the time out on a beautiful patio (last time probably before it gets too cold).

  • Looking forward to my October TBR pile.

Here's my randomness for the week:

  • Getting back into our regular schedule has reenergized me… thank goodness, I was flagging.

  • Looking forward to pumpkin patch season.

  • But first, I need to finish planning the boys’ birthday party.

  • We’re going a Jamaican food night and a Cuban food night this week to celebrate our geography study. I’m looking forward to the coconut rum cake.

Here's my randomness for the week:

  • Okay, it’s officially September. Let’s cut the 90 degree days please…

  • Returning almost all my library books feels really good. I’m trying to dive into my own shelves for the next two months.

  • Only one more week of teaching coop for me. I’m almost done with the big geology unit.

  • I need to put the final touches on our trip to Des Moines next week. Saturday’s plans are still up in the air.

Odds and Ends

Here's my randomness for the week:

  • Four weeks into our homeschooling year and need to reassess our schedules. I think I need to tweak a few things to help me to not get overwhelmed.

  • Finally watched the new Persuasion and it’s definitely not the book. Decent overall movie, but not the Anne from the book.

  • Ordered a meal prep box from a local chef that features vegan and gluten free dishes. The cost is just about what we spend at the grocery store. I’m very excited. I have had some of her desserts and they were most delicious.

  • I need some new lightweight pajamas…

  • Very glad that the open house period of coop is over. That was exhausting. Now we get to see who else (if anyone) joins before September 1st.

Odds and Ends

Here's my randomness for the week:

  • A bit nervous about today’s coop meeting. We are going to have 47 children!

  • Deep into my current read and it’s giving me The Magicians vibes but with a faster moving plot.

  • My Bachelorette predictions: Gabby will end up picking Nate and Rachel will end up picking TIno.

  • I feel the urge to make a fun dessert this week, but do I have the energy?

  • Currently looking at the giant stack of books for homeschooling week 2. It’s really a lot…

  • Arthur’s got zoo camp next week and I need to make him lunches every day.

  • So sad that we didn’t get to add any bald eagles to our summer count.

  • But we did visit four different zoos on our trip.

  • Coming home is always nice, but I do not love the laundry piles afterward.

Odds and Ends

Here's my randomness for the week:

  • I downloaded multiple books for my travel next week. I’m hoping one of them is good.

  • Speeding through my current book (like I knew I would) and I cannot wait to see how it all comes together.

  • Taking the boys to the library book sale tomorrow to redeem their coupons. I’m excited to get some new books, because you know, I don’t have any books in my house…

  • Maybe I won’t take too many snacks on the road trip. I feel like I might fail at this.

Here's my randomness for the week:

  • I’m away on retreat right now! Four glorious days where I only need to take care of myself. Tonight, we are all going to relax, but tomorrow we are going to a few bookstores and have cocktail hour. Very excited for all the bookish fun.

  • Speaking of books, I’ve had a run of not amazing books this week. Really hoping to pull up my star ratings with my retreat selections.

  • Took the kids to two splash pads, two libraries, and one movie this week to tire them out. I may have overdone it a bit.

  • Making book recommendations may be my favorite thing right now.

Odds and Ends

Here's my randomness for the week:

  • Here’s hoping the rain holds off this morning for the coop’s field day. Would be sad to have to reschedule…

  • Looks like my May read pile is going to end up at 21 books. That’s a lot for one month.

  • That said, I have so many reads on tap for June. We’ll see how much I get read. I do have the retreat at the end of the month which should push me through a few books.

  • As for the retreat, I ordered the last of the goodies and I’m so excited about the bookish fun we get to have. Now I need to work on recommendations and games and start buying the grocery list.

  • I think we are going to continue watching Hawkeye with the kids tonight.
