Re: What's something new going on in your life?
My cousin and his kids ages 5 and 8 are visiting for 6 days. It's day 2 and I'm already exhausted! I've gotten spoiled with older kids.

Re: What's something new going on in your life?
I’m on day 3 of 5 of having no minor kids under my roof and it’s ... well ... completely different than anything I’ve ever experienced lololol

Re: What's something new going on in your life?
I completely understand this. My kids are among the older cousin group and when the younger ones visit, we’re all tired out fairly quickly. Little ones just have so much energy.

Re: What's something new going on in your life?
Oh yah, I totally get this. All my bio kids are 12+ and are very self sufficient. My bonus kids are 6,8, 13,15 & 18. The younger ones are super busy and always need our attention. The older ones are not self sufficient. So half of the month I'm exhausted when we have everyone here and half of the month I'm recouping when it's just my bio kids. I think it would be easier to have them all full time because we'd fall into a routine like I did when my kiddos were younger.

Re: What's something new going on in your life?
What a fun thread!
I returned yesterday from an overnight backcountry camping trip with six other ladies. It was a test run for me because all of my equipment is brand new. Even though I didn't sleep as well as I had hoped to, I loved it. One of my best friends has been trying to talk me into backcountry camping for four years, and this year I finally agreed to go. We have a couple of other trips planned too; one with a couple of ladies, and the other with our husbands. I can relate to the bird watching. I live close to a nature reserve, and we have a woodland garden with attractive landscaping for birds. Recently I have seen eagles of all ages, robins, cute ones that look like chickadees, swallows, and a blue heron. I need to stop by the bird reserve to see what other birds are in our area so I will know what there names are when I see them.

Re: What's something new going on in your life?
We're packing up this week and shifting yet again (shift number 12 this year). This time we're heading back to my in-laws house. I'm less than thrilled but it's not the worst situation. Pray for my sanity!
In awesome news my sister and her husband will be coming with the two little ones for a couple weeks. Looking forward to having lots of hangout time and we'll finally get to hold baby JJ without all the tubes!

Re: What's something new going on in your life?
I found out Friday I am teaching a 'art and art history' class on Wendsday at our coop that I didn't think I was.

The communication has just not been perfectly clear partly because the lady who is the president of the coop board and is arranging things lost her dad a week after classes ended so she hasn't been on top of communications, and I wasn't going to bug her. I think it will be good - but the class was proposed as a talk and craft class and I am going to be turning it into, we talk about art movements/ styles and make our own art in reponce to it. Because I don't do crafts where I tell kids exsactly what they need to do. I need to figer out what mediums I want to use in this class. And how much of hauling things back and forth I want to deal with. I think I will use many of the plans for this class in the younger classes I am teaching at the privet school.

Re: What's something new going on in your life?
I am finding a lot of the books, even things pulished in the last 5 years, disappointingly European focused. It is ideotic to talk about how Monet and Van Gogh were influenced my japanese prints but neaver talk about the artists that were creating them in Japan.

Re: What's something new going on in your life?
We just bought a used hot tub. Well, we put a deposit on it and will pay when we actually pick it up. Gotta figure out getting it home.
I'm so excited. Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk
