Okay ladies since we are going to hopefully have a "Cofee Break" folder soon I thought until then we could start a daily coffee break thread. For any newbies...or oldies (who don't pay attention. lol) Daily Coffee break is based on the premise of a DYK (do you know) thread. We had a great conversation on here where we listed just silly, or annyoing things that happened in our day. The idea is to get us to check in with eachother here more on the board. You can post some daily goals for yourself and come back and say you completed them. Just start a conversation or tell something that has happened to you in your day. This is also a great little way of having a sort of long telephone conversation with eachother...lol


Anyone who gets to the board first in the morning can start the daily Cofee break thread...please date it though so we know which is for that day.


Have fun with this ladies!


Traci and Mel

Morning everyone!


I am excited because I have moved our computer to our school room. Not only does this make it more convient for the kids but it also makes it more fun for me...lol


Since we do a "school at home" approach to homeschooling it allows me to check in here more often since I can just jump on here when the kids are doing book work at their desks.


It was great this morning to get to do a crossword puzzle online while the kids did thier penmanship work. I found that I was more relaxed because of this.


Oh by the way just for anyone who is on the yahoo IM If my yahoo is on please feel free to IM me anytime. I only have the yahoo messenger for you ladies and if I am on, I am free to talk. For anyone who likes to IM my yahoo id is mommybeetx (please don't contact me if you have not introduced yourself on the board...this actually happened to me three times...lol) If you have aol email me through my profile and I can give you that one to but I am only available if my yahoo is on...my kids use the computer alot so that is how you can tell. lol

Hi ladies,
I'm so jealous you HAVE a school room! I'm snuggled into an 1,100 sq ft house on the military base. This house was built in the 1960's and I'm lucky I got 3 bedrooms! LOL!

Our "office" is in the family room - lovely huh?

It's ok though - cause we've got great neighbors that make up for the small house.

Hugs,
K

DON"T be jealous! lol


Our house is about as small as yours. We had the great idea that we were going to buy this old house. It is an old farm house built in 1948 and is a three bedroom ONE bath...lol


We only have the school room because we made the "master bedroom" our school room and the kids share a small room with Dh and I next door. The big closet is of course in the school room so that makes storage in very short supply.


With the new baby on the way we are going to have to move as soon as we are able, which I hate because this means wherever we move to we will have to move again when we buy...sigh. lol

Good idea Traci...


Where's your wedding picture lol??? I'm not going to give up! I need a picture lol!


I can't believe its still snowing here. I thought it would be a one day freak thing. I hope it clears up by tomorrow, I have to go Christmas shopping with my girlfriend, and hate the thought of dragging Belle from store to store in the snow. yuck!

Lesley there is still hope..lol I have not had a chance to look at the pics my mom took since she is supposedly making me a Christmas gift out of them. I am hoping on Friday I will have a chance to take them to the store and check them out. I can't look at them on my new computer because it does not have a disk drive and my mom's digital camera uses disks. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it! lol


I wonder if you spend more money when it it colder out? I think I feel more in the Christmas spirit when the weather is cold so it is probably good I do not live where it snows! lol

I have no idea what to have for lunch. I'm starving, and its only 10am. I need to go shopping and my options are limited. Probably somethig exciting like soup ...again lol


I really need to do some housework. We should have a thread where we can post before and after pictures of the worst room in our houses lol...it might embarass me into cleaning properly for once lol
