Is It Naptime Yet

In my homeschooling quest I’ve joined two online groups that have regular meet ups. One group, Life Learners, got back to me right away and have regular meet ups at parks every Wednesday. They take more of the learn what you want how you want and just live life. The other group I’ve joined is a little more of the traditional homeschooling, with parents using curriculum to teach their children.

The second group, or the Las Vegas homeschool meetup group, just got back to me about signing up this week. It turns out they were having a local weatherperson do a small assembly this week.  A station in town does these assemblies regularly around the valley’s school’s. I thought it would be fun for the girls since Lilah has a fascination with television and I would be able to meet some of the other parents and families in the group.

Wrong. It turns out it was a number of homeschooling groups, which lead to no good way to find out who was in the group I had joined. The girls still had fun and there’s a chance they’ll be on the news Saturday or Sunday morning, though they were kinda behind some bigger boys for the short tapping.

So I’m not sure if this was useful or useless, though I think it was a little of both.

The next two errands I ran came about this morning. Before we left I received two separate phone calls telling me my contacts had come in and my glasses were ready to be picked up also. I thought score, I get to run all the necessary Henderson errands in one day.

I went to my doctor’s office first. I picked up the contacts and the prescription and got the girls right back into the car. I headed towards Costco and at the first light I had the thought that I should check the prescription. It turned out to be -4.75, but I need -5.00. The doctor had tried the lesser strength but after wearing -5.00 for a year or two, my eyes were not handling it when I drove and that’s when I need my contacts the most. So, I turned around to correct the mistake. The doctor wasn’t there so I just left and had the receptionist call me since I knew I was correct. So they’re ordering more contacts which will be ready to be picked up next week sometime.

Useful or useless? I think useless.

I then headed to Carolyn’s work. I saw her car wasn’t there but decided to go in anyways. She was gone. So that was definitely useless.

I then packed the girls into the car for the fourth time in twenty minutes and headed to Costco. I got there and a woman adjusted the glasses to fit my face. While she was cleaning them she noticed some streaks. The anti glare had been put on improperly. Ugh. So those too will be ordered again.
Also useless.

I am happy that the doctors office and Costco happened on a day I was already heading out to Henderson and I hadn’t gone out there specifically to pick up the contacts or glasses.

The day started so well. Now I’m just blogging to keep awake and avoid doing dishes.
