So I came into work tonight, and discover that starting tomorrow i'm going to be moving back to my daytime 2nd shift.
Seems that because of several different problems we've run into lately, the project I'm working on overnight is on hold, and they need the extra manpower during the day to work on troubleshooting and cleaning up the fallout of another big issue.
Hurray! 24hrs to flip my schedule by 12 hours. This is gonna be fun.![]()
This is the kind of stupid stuff the Navy used to do to me, so now I have intractable insomnia. Good luck on getting switched around!
Hmmmm..... As an ex-homeschooled kid myself, I say skip the books, and go to Disney. You can use the World Showcase as your World History and Geography classes..... Futureworld as your Sciences classroom (Not as good as it was 20 years ago since a lot of the actual science of futureworld has been replaced by Soarin and Nemo.... but it's still got some good gems).
Um.... Animal Kingdom for your Enviromental studies classroom....
Magic Kingdom can be used for American History (Frontierland / Liberty Square).....
And I'm sure we can fudge MGM to be a general Cultural classroom.... Ooo.... and Film History (Great Movie Ride)!
Wonder if this means you could write off the Disney trip as an educational expense?
There is a part of me that would love to buy into DVC.... but somehow I can't quite find myself able to justify the cost.
Either way.... It'd have to wait until after i'm done paying off my Wyndham purchase.
Hmmm, I'm seeing what you mean about the evil thing....I do *not* need help justifying spending time/money at Disney! I do plenty of that on my own. Although, cutting back on homeschool spending is probably not a bad thing....next year for 4th and 6th grades my kiddos will be doing all the regular stuff, plus logic (new), Latin (have done for 2 years), Greek (have done for a year) and Spanish (new)....oh, and 2 English programs and 2 math programs each. And we're still done by noon most days! Although my 4yo is starting K in the fall and it looks like I'll have to teach her how to read, so that might be what I'll do with my afternoons....
I love England...I wanna go back there someday. One of my favorite pictures I took is from there. This was taken on my first night there....

Beautiful! I love England as well, can't wait to go back next month

Kenn, its funny. When I lived in Seattle, people used to ask me how I could stand living where it rained so much. I remember that on rare occasions I needed an umbrella. It didn't downpour like it does in California - at least not very often, just light rain. I just wore a jacket with a hood most days.
You know it, though Brad (Floydian) just texted me and said he is going to rope drop. Might have to consider that. Gotta do a bit of cleaning first but its tempting.
Hope you had a fun day
