@Wildfire: Welcome back online. I hope your appointment went well and lunch was good. :)
My day has been productive so far. Started doing chores, my tablet showed up and I want my house cleaned up the best it can be before I set up my tablet.
I struggled with yesterday's event game, and I haven't moved on to todays.
@Wildfire: I hope I enjoy it too. I hope you get around to set yours up! :)
My husband and I are guilty of having expensive hobbies that don't pay. I have a good/bad habit of jumping from one art thing to another. So, I can already predict that I'll set up my tablet use it for a month, and safely store it until my itch to do digital comes back.
Gaomon PD1161. I wanted a tablet with a screen. I've only ever used the ones that you draw on and the image is on the computer. And I needed to get away from wacom.
@Wildfire: so far so good. My kids slept in. so, my house is... really quiet.
speaking of tablets, mine should be here tomorrow or Monday. :p
@Wildfire: YAAAY I'm so excited for you!
@Wildfire: I understand! I met a close friend that was homeschooled when we were in middle school. Her mom had signed her up with essentially a "pod" group that focused on science projects for home-schooled or schooled from home kids [early 2000s]. Once she and I became close, her mom decided to put her in the K-12 online program with me.
//phew//
I finished most of the paperwork for my son. I found an online charter school. It's a public school. It's been around for quite some time. They've got an established learning method and straight forward program for parents.
I respect you so much for having homeschooled your kids. I don't have the type of energy to do so.
I keep forgetting that. My mom referred to me as being homeschool when she didn't do a whole lot. I did everything online in high school as these school programs-at-home were developing.

OH nooo- ALL the info I filled out last month for this enrollment process got deleted. Shame on me for not getting it sent. T^T
I'm going to be switching him into an online homeschool program. He'll still have educators we can email. For the most part, it will be me walking him through assignments given to him.
The public-school-at-home thing is tickin' me off quite a bit this week. They've come out with an announcement every day this week- re-scheduling the re-opening of schools. My daughter really benefits from in-person learning. I can try and teach her something a hundred times and all it takes is another adult to tell her what I've been saying and she'll go "OH! yeah! I get it" and then I get flustered as heck.
Now I'm busy today switching my son to an online homeschool. :o
@Wildfire: Yeah. :p It's not terribly old and things aren't falling apart [yet]. But if we don't maintain or fix-up minor problems, we're going to be in a world of hurt [financially] later.
Yeah, re-reading what I wrote hardly makes sense.
XD
We told the roomies from the beginning that we needed some of the living room space upstairs. But they went into unpack mode and left no space upstairs for us. It initially made me a little mad, it put us in the situation where it felt awkward for us to go upstairs for any reason. So I didn't know how to approach that. But all is cleared up now.
The reason we need to feel comfortable upstairs is that we just bought the house and need to make repairs where we can. Upstairs is the older part of the house and is having problems with windows and fans and whatnot.
Actually, it's my own furniture. Upstairs- there's a big open living room. Downstairs, there's not a living room.
To clear up confusion, my husband basically bought us a house that is 2 houses smooshed together. Currently, I can't work, so it worked out to have roommates. downstairs, we have 3 bedrooms, an open "game" room in which the previous owners left a billiards table. It's a bit in the way, but we enjoy having it. :p

The furniture I moved upstairs was my books and bookshelves. :O
