Scintillating Wednesday repartee, yawn man.

-------

Thrilling Wednesday report, see man:

 

Completely dysfunctional morning trying to get ourself & Mini-B. moving, new process needed man.

 

Lunch was 2 Arby's gut-bombs bought WUOC, financially savvy we man.

 

Learned that Mini-B. didn't turn in his non-P-Math Test Review after Many (2+2) hours -- si man, Many (2+2) hours -- working on it on Tuesday eve, "I did only about a page, so I didn't bother giving it to the teechur" man.  

 

Found a History assignment due last week that wasn't done,  man.

Din-din was fajita chicken strips + Costco scalloped potatoes, ingest Two Guys man.

Mini-B. didn't finish all his and kept asking for snacks, "finish your din-din or nothing man" man.

 

Mini-B. did slipshod job on History assignment, rescued by us man.

 

E-mailed non-P-Math teechur about Mini-B.'s situation, hoping for communication man.

(Ex-Mrs.-T-B. reports that other parents are equally discombobulated, not-alone we man.)

(Mini-B. reports that other stoodents are equally discombobulated, not-alone wee man.)

Got Many00% cover-assing response, complete intestinal excrement of bulls man.

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. will caucus with this teechur next week, only availability man.

We recommend placing one's life savings on ex-Mrs.-T-B., don't mess with Mini-B. in her presence man.

 

Discussed new morning procedure with Mini-B., receptive wee man.

We shall see if it up-wakes us too early, willing to experiment for wee man's sake we man.

 

Major storm expected overnight, hit hay early we man.

Expect to be jolted awake by Many, Many, Many, Many, or Many a.m., thunderous man.

Party with the rubias truncated, cavort truncatedly we man.

My friends are having the same issues as you are with Mini-B. 7th grade is the hardest grade. They go from being treated like little kids to being treated like they are nearly adults and are expected so much more out of them. They expect them to be able to take notes, right down all assignments and don't care if they get 30 assignments that are all due the same week. Heck in college the teachers did try to spread things out so they didn't dump all at once, but 7th grade too bad so sad is the attitude. Their excuse has always been we have to prepare them for high school. 

 

Hopefully the ex-TB fines out something or at least gives the teacher a piece of her mind. I know with the older kids I lost it on one of their teachers in 7th grade. To the point that she never spoke to me again. 

 

So far from my friends the kids have lost all electronics until grades are up to the parents expectation. 

 

Can I say I love homeschooling

 

 

Good luck with the new morning routine.

Finally convinced MrChancy to go to Golden Corral with me last weekend.  He was reluctant, but I had been really curious about those steaks that people fight over -- https://www.today.com/food/news/golden-corral-fight-rcna14500

 

It was ok, but I don't think I'd go back there again.  Also, there was no steak.  Thankfully, there was no brawl (this time).

 

When we weren't doing the Carnivore diet, we would go to Golden Corral every now and again. It's pretty good for chicken and the meats. The little Jedi likes to pack away the chicken and mac and cheese. Fruit and deserts are usually pretty good. But now we don't eat all that stuff. 

The steaks are better than the ones you could get a many restaurants. Tell them how you want it and you're good to go. They are not huge pieces but you can go back many many times. I don't normally ask for more then one piece at a time but I have seen ppl walk by with a plate full.

OMG that would put me in the hospital. I started developing stomach problems because we has a crappy fridge. It felt cold but turned out it had not been keeping food safe. I ended up with all sorts or tests just to find out it was our Samsuck. 

 

I think pizza has this ability to stay good. Don't know how but it seems many ppl can do this.

Thrilling Friday non-GS/ES report, see man:

 

Late last night, a bird very clearly spoke "Many (2x2x2 +2+2)... Many (2x2x2 +2+2)... Many (2x2x2 +2+2)..., hear we distinctly man.

 

Awful night, sinus/back/nightmares man.

 

Mini-B. made it to skool right when doors opened, gridlocked traffic man.

Of course, after we returned to the casa, ex-Mrs.-T-B. came by with a missing item,  man.

We had to return to skool (later) to off-drop it,  man.

 

The above and other stuff delayed our ES trek, delayed we man.

We accomplished an errand on the way, si man.

Lunch was chicken poblano enchiladas at a Mexican restaurant, ingest we man.

 

We shall not hasten to visit ESs at remote ranch-type places again, unenthusiastic we man.

The first was way too far in the boonies, egad man.

The second was a bunch of barns/outer houses filled with rusty junk, egad man.

It was also down a road with potholes that would put Ecuador's to shame, bye shock-absorbers man.

The above killed our enthusiasm toward buying Vera Wang towels at the Many'th ES, oh well man.

We returned to the casa just in time for a desperately needed hourlong siesta, zzz we man.
