Odds and Ends

Here's my randomness for the week:

• Our last Academic Co-op meeting of the fall today. I’m ready for a bit of a break and reset for spring.

• I really need to ration out the holiday goodies. Aldi’s has way too many good things out right now.

• Looking forward to our book and bottle exchange this Saturday. I’m making spinach and artichoke dip!

• We did an outdoor homeschool activity yesterday and it was about 15 degrees. So so cold! But we made it through somehow.

• It’s just about packing time for our trip to Indiana.

• It’s the last week of enrichment co-op for the year! As sad as I am about the ending, I am also looking forward to a break.

• Getting back into spooky reading and I’m loving it.

Here's my randomness for the week:

• I got my reading back on track with a whole string of great atmospheric and/or spooky books!

• We started our weekly Vala’s visits. They make me so happy!

• Very strange co-op week. I went from a class of 12 to a class of 4 with basically no warning. This always happens at the end of the session. I should know better.

• A friend’s kid who was in the hospital is out and on the mend. So glad for that entire family.

Here's my randomness for the week:

• Yesterday was a no good day for me. I must say that we can only go up today…

• Getting excited for spooky season reading and visits to the pumpkin patches.

• Obsessed with weird trivia and improv shows right now. Yep, we’re nerds over here.

• Really hoping that we can get this room situation figured out for academic co-op. It’s stressing me out.

Here's my randomness for the week:

• The weather has taken a turn for the windy, cloudy, and cooler. Thank goodness! I am going to enjoy it for the next few days because next week it’s going to be back into the 90s.

• Tomorrow I’m leading a pond exploration for 23 kiddos ages 4 to 12. I foresee so much chaos!

• A friend asked some of us if an adult’s night at Vala’s would be something interesting. Oh hell yeah! My favorite place during my favorite time of the year and no kids with me. Sign me up! (I’m hosting a family campfire night there in October, but this is completely different!)

• One of my co-op supply bags has acquired multiple holes in the bottom. Duct tape to the rescue, but I’m sad. I may need to watch the website for sales and buy some new ones.

Here's my randomness for the week:

• Back to leading co-op. It went well today, but my goodness, it was humid.

• Longing for fall weather….

Here's my randomness for the week:

• Excited for the Museum of the Great Lakes in Toledo (in two weeks). I really like Maritime history places.

• Temperatures are back in the 90s with high humidity. I do not like.

Here's my randomness for the week:

• And I’m off to the retreat! Right now, I’m prepping to take the boys to swim lessons and then coop before heading out of town. It’s going to be a crazy busy day, but so worth it!

• Speaking of retreat, I had planned on taking 5 physical books with me. I finished my last book abut four days ago and picked one of the 5 to start reading. I finished it in two days and then another in two days. Ooops! At least I’m reading from my shelves!

• Cannot wait to visit some new indie bookstores on Friday. One is a romance book store and I’m very much here for it!

Odds and Ends

Here's my randomness for the week:

• My week went from nothing scheduled to something scheduled everyday. This is summer.

• Our food stores are very limited today. Guess that means we need to go to the grocery store after our park playdate.

• Thinking about my TBR pile for the retreat. Is 5 books of varying genres enough? I’m still debating with myself.

• Currently in the middle of four different books. Very unusual for me, but that’s how it shaken out this week.

Here's my randomness for the week:

• So into our new television show. It’s just so much fun. No wonder as the story is originally from Neil Gaiman.

• My May TBR is intense. I have so many books that I need (want) to read this month. Not sure how I’m going to fit them all in.

• I think a recipe treasure trove revamp might be in order. Feeling a bit stale with our rotation lately.

• I need to get working of the bookish recommendations for the retreat. A very daunting task, but I’ll get them done.

Here's my randomness for the week:

• After going on a big side quest, my office is so clean and pretty! You can actually walk all around without stepping over things.

• I started buying the nonperishables for the retreat. Aldi’s had a great deal on some dried fruit and I had to take advantage.

• Diving into a horror book this week and loving it. Just what I needed!

Odds and Ends

Here's my randomness for the week:

• I’ve got so many plans in motion for this summer and fall. Working on my big project management charts.

• We really need to head to the library and grocery this afternoon.

• I’m doing much better with reading my own books along with the library selections.
