I'm back over on this thread :P Sorry to say do not have an extra of the item you need. Also, what did you mean you sent out 100 items? TOT items to people who needed them or what?

Going to head out to in person class soon. Have taken a bunch of photos and even two videos of kids to hopefully use on my lesson plan assignments. I think I have everything except the puppets/props for the "parent meeting" that I forgot all about until I was reviewing all the parts I've put together so far for that class assignment LOL Ooops. I will hunt stuff down for it tomorrow. I am sure I have most of it in my classroom.

Yeah, I went through the stuff I stuffed in my shop and searched friends wishlists. Mostly cheap stuff, but at least I got to share! :)

That was super sweet of you. Home from class. Need to relax. This whole group and this class is just stressing me out this semester. Maybe because there are more group projects or something, I don't know. But I think everyone is about as done with it all as I am, and no one really wants to do anything. My group project person (the only other one AT campus with me) didn't even want to work in person even a little bit on our project. She was all "oh we'll get together over the weekend, no worries" Um yeah well, I'll be busy all Saturday afternoon at the renfaire, so ok. Good luck with that. But I guess we can try and get together Sunday, when I'm ALSO going to be trying to complete OTHER work sigh It is what it is, but its frustrating. All she wanted to do was go home. I don't blame her, but I mean, honestly. We were already there. Why not take advantage of that if we could? I was willing. She wasn't sigh

[edit] Another reason I don't like this class (Its now 550 am) - I cannot relax after it and go to bed, because it ends so late :P I was up until almost midnight, when I finally took some tylenol to help knock me out. I would have taken benedryl if I had any. I just could not settle. Ugh. And I turned off the light at like 1030. Now I've been up since around 525. So yeah. Fun.

Anyway!! On to the next day! Good Morning!

[edit] 530pm Ok Good Morning. maybe Good evening? Not sure yet honestly. I feel like my life is imploding again. Shane texted me during naptime. Said he and Anna got into and decided to divorce and he needed a place to stay. So instead of going to the daycare after work, I drove to Thomaston. Apparently his truck is in the shop until at least tomorrow, and this new company he is with, he comes home for his "34 hour restart" (his weekend basically) in the middle of the week, like Wed or Thurs. Soooo eeeehhhh. We gotta figure some crap out, if he stays here when he is not on the road for now. Told him he'll have to wait to go get his truck until I get off work/out of the day care depending on the day his truck is fixed. I can't skip two days this week (Ok, I COULD, I don't WANT to, as now I already have to add 2.5 hrs to one of the days on Thanksgiving break sigh)

Oh no Kat. :(

Though tbh I'm surprised they lasted this long? Because like.. yikes to that whole relationship. :(

I'm sorry you have to deal with all this, though!

Was wide awake this morning so I decided to just get up and go.. stopped at dunkin for a little treat (frozen coffee), then Walmart. Was out of there in time to get to Sams for 7:55. Waited in the short line and was in and out of there by 8:15! Then I ran to the farmstand and did the fill a box for $25 offer they had. I got a bunch of squashes because we wanted acorn and butternut for thanksgiving anyway, and got extras of each of those as well as some spaghetti squash, a few little honeynut squash, a bunch of apples (when did apples get so expensive in the store?!) and some other little random things that I could fit in there :P

Got home by 9, just in time to pick all the kids up and drop them off at the school for the marching band bus. They're just doing pep band now, though.. which is great tbh haha.

oh no is freaking right. There is MORE. YES MORE to this whole freaking drama story So I picked him up Tuesday. On Wed he texts me that he got fired from the company for "not working for almost a week" ??? EXCUSE ME? While your truck is in the shop? That makes no sense. But I am not going to argue with whatever he says happened. (he was only with this company less than three weeks!!!) So he says he's been applying to other companies meanwhile I'm mentally freaking out going I cannot support another person in this household, he HAS to have a job. Thankfully one approved him and got him a ticket out on Sunday for orientation on Monday sigh OOOH YES and THEN - YES! AND THEN!!! On Thursday we are discussing him going around doing some errands on Friday (had to leave the car so Nathan could drive him), supposed to meet up with Anna to close the joint bank account for one (guess what DIDN'T happen) and he casually says he can't do it in the afternoon anyway (with me to drive him) because she has to pick up some guys kid from school - EXCUSE ME? SO she is ALREADY with another guy while you are STILL MARRIED??? AND YOU ONLY MOVED OUT TWO DAYS AGO? That very night, I see a picture of a blue jeep and her jeep parked side-by-side at the house in Thomaston.

Now honestly, the ONLY thing that bothers me about that, is that it means you knew that guy BEFORE you decided to get divorced. AND you are seeing him BEFORE the divorce is final. To me, you don't DO that. But I guess as long as either of THEM don't care (Shane doesn't seem bothered by it, maybe its part of WHY they broke up? I don't know, I haven't asked for or gotten details other than "we got into it" meaning they had a fight). I have tried to give him advice on making sure DETAILS are mentioned in whatever paperwork they file - like HE makes this payment, she is responsible for that, he keeps this, she keeps that - or whatever - but who knows if he will take it. He supposedly gave her $150 to help pay for the paperwork and some of the utility bills for the house this month (guess he left it in the bank account that did NOT get closed? NO IDEA I didn't ask) I have a feeling this is my go-to for Shane anymore for pretty much most things - Don't Ask. It honestly would not surprise me if HE already has someone new too sigh :P

Dunkin sounds nice, tho I don't do coffee. I'd have a donut pick-me-up!! We are going to the RenFaire later - and Katies birthday is tomorrow. Today I attempted to make an angel food cake since she was talking about it last time I saw her - I KNOW I messed it up - but hopefully it tastes ok anyway. I forgot to separate the sugar and mixed it all in with the flour, so I didn't have sugar to whisk into the eggwhites, so I just gently mixed in the whole sugar/flour mixture LOL It looks ok. Its cooling. I have coolwhip and strawberry ice cream topping to go with it. And birthday candles. SURPRISE! (Katie doesn't know I did it hahaha)

Ugh, this sounds.. AWFUL. For real, I'm so sorry again Kat.

I just wish, for your sake, you could trust what he says to you :(

That really is all a mess, especially between the two of them. But again, like.. yeah, who would have thought anything else?

Ugh. So at least he'll be able to support himself, and hopefully pay a little into your bills and such, other than just him buying his own groceries and such.

I don't really like coffee either, but a frozen coffee just does it for me haha. Like a milkshake with caffeine, apparently. :P

Awww, happy birthday Katie! The ren faire sounds so fun, I can't wait to see the pictures! Hopefully the cake turns out well!

Hooboy. I totally missed your response :o Tells you how busy I've been!! LOL

RenFair was great! We had fun. Got super tired as we were all tired to begin with hahahah I did put up pictures on facebook, I'm sure you saw. NATHAN got his hair braided finally!! YAY Cake turned out pretty good even though I messed up making it ;)

So. Is everyone ready for Fireside? Our whole barely over a week holiday? lol

Haha I had to come back and make sure I posted it and didn't just think I did! (... done THAT before!)

It looked so fun, I love your braids!

I went through my wardrobe today and cleaned out a bunch of stuff I never use and that annoys me everytime I see it haha. I wish I could do that while I'm sorting by layer, but.. whatever :P

Oh yes. I do that sometimes too. I hate too much stuff in my wardrobe, especially as I rarely change my outfits. Just for events and stuff like that.

I made SOOO much profit when I sold everything and its uncle after I did all the wardrobe achievements LOL

I think that's how I got my SPs in the first place, before Richest user achivement :P Was cleaning out my wardrobe haha.

Not making much now, but that's OK, I'm just glad it's gone!

Did Lilys senior pictures today. She put on the new uniform and goes "OK, I have an idea. Moms going to cry" and she did her salute and I cried and then she cried ahahahaha.

Awww Lily. Thats crazy/sweet <3 We do our senior pictures here the summer before senior year. Ya'll are doing them so LATE compared to us!!

I need to get off here and read three chapters. I don't want to. I'm procrastinating by finding all the cheap foods in my shops and donating them to charity LOL

Well, we didn't have time in the summer because.. band :P Plus, she wanted both uniforms, so it would have had to be Fall.

Here it mostly happens July-October (because of the LEAVES!) but we are a bit late!

The only downside to OLD items being given out for Fireside this year is that I don't have a lot of things to throw in the bonfire LOL I'm putting everything over 100k in my shop to sell for profit :P

Also, I can't remember if Fantine gives out books, so I'm going to toss some pumpkins her way at some point - I want to keep most of them for the composting thing tho. I pulled all my extra cheap morostide food too for that.

I mean, people personally take Senior pictures whenever they want. The school offical ones are during June or July usually, depending on when they schedule them. I never did a photo shoot for any of my kids, and didn't buy the senior pictures either. :P I DID take them to JC Penny after they graduated and got Senior pictures made - so I could get a 10x13 and a canvas collage.

Oh wow, ours are done in April here, for the school ones.

Well I mean June or July before the senior school year starts - did you mean that also? Like April of Junior Year - or not until April of Senior year? I would think by then they'd have needed the photos for the yearbook already and all ???

Just watched a recorded lecture. Didn't make any more sense than her in person ones did, sadly. FOUR things to do this week in that class - first was that lecture plus type up some answers to three questions from that. Next is the 3 chapters and the quiz (I barely got thru one chapter so far), also have to do an IRIS module (online learning module) and turn in response to that. And last, work on the IEP project more sigh

I have ONE section left on my final project for my practicum, and then can turn that in, plus all my documentation (time sheets, evaluation sheets) and I'll be done with THAT class tomorrow. And I've already finished everything except the presentation of my interview powerpoint for the third class. YAY! So glad I'm ahead in the other two classes, because that means I can focus on this annoying class more :P

Nope, I mean April of senior year. That's when they do the school ones, in Spring pictures. But those also aren't even for sale?

:o Why wouldn't the kids senior year pictures be fore sale??? ALL school pictures are always for sale :o That makes no sense to me.

Because they're just for the yearbook, with a fake cap and gown. The guys have a fake shirt and tie under LOL.. like a dickie.

Yeah, we did all that for our senior pictures too. But they are done early and are for purchase as well as for the yearbook!!! The "dressy" photos are used for the year book - the girls have a black stole type top over their clothes, the guys a fake white shirt/black jacket. Then they do the cap & gown pictures using generic cap/gown of the right size ... and offer the whole lot of photos for sale. You can bring in specialty items or uniforms, like Lily did for her band uniform and they do a whole photo shoot. But the dressy one is for the yearbook and ALL of them are for purchase.

I remember my senior photos being the same. Summer before senior year, fancy dressy shot for yearbook, others to be cutesy and fun, and all for purchasing. I remember holding a rose across my chest/neckline in one of them...splash of red with the black stole thing.

Nope. And they're just the ones in the class page, the ones in the senior section of the yearbook are all the photo shoot ones that normally get done in the Summer/Fall before.
