The Hobbit Hole XIX - Tomorrow we may come this way...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Tomorrow we may come this way...
New verse:
|
Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by! |
|
|
Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well! |
|
Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed! |

I think it's gonna be another Pepsi day.
I really want something sweet. Preferably chocolate...but Pepsi'd help.

Not many know...just my boss and the network admin guy. He came up and congratulated me and also said he'd be a reference. I should tell one more person, so's I have three references...but it's hard to just do that!
I heard them talkin' something about "so-and-so would like that position", which I'm assuming is my position. I'm tryin' not to take that personally...but you know how I am. ;-)

Who cares? You're quitting, they have to make arrangements. They'll miss you, of course.
And good for the network admin guy! Now you start filling out that application for the position... you know the one...

I'm sure you'll be able to find another reference. As soon as someone says they're willing, get that resume OUT!! And good luck on the job search!

Ha!
Just now, I walked over, paused Joshua's tape where his teacher was discussing gallons quarts and such. I asked him "Joshua, what is your teacher talking about?" He glanced over at the TV nervously and said "A glass jar?" I said "No...were you not paying attention?" Frantically, he said "A plastic jar?"
Anyway, since playing on the computer hinges on whether or not he puts forth a good effort in school...he's grounded from the computer till after school tomorrow.
"...and there was much weeping and gnashing of teeth."

mmmmmm...gnashing...
Luke does pre-emptive tantrums. If we tell him to do something and threaten to take something away, he'll start crying because he wants whatever it is. We're working on getting him to understand that he's in control of the decision and the consequences.
Lord knows the 15-year-old hasn't figgered that one out yet.

See, that's why I couldn't do video learning. For me, when the tv goes on, my brain goes off. I would have to turn off the sound and turn on subtitles to concentrate - the act of reading would keep me alert.

Joshua knew it was coming...which is why he was trying to guess what the teacher was talking about.
It's only for one day...he gets to redeem himself tomorrow by putting forth a good effort then. Still, it's a rainy day and nothing to do outside...gonna be a long 24 hours.
For both of us...

Hand him a book. Teach him that there are things in the world better than computer games!

Oh yeah... TPL... I have an appointment in an hour or so to get a new prescription... they're going to want to make me get a certain exam that I don't want and don't really need, so just pray I don't have too!

Gotcha! Will do!

Well, he's done just fine with it all these months...he woke up with a bad attitude. Was giving me grief about it before we even started...which is a no-no in it's self.
We all have our days, but bad behavior isn't generally tolerated in institutions of higher education, nor is it tolerated in the workplace. Bad behavior in the home education setting shouldn't be overlooked casually.
I think the punishment fit the crime and the age of the perp! LOL Besides, he'll end up making something in the kitchen with me. The subject he was neglecting was math, namely amounts, like quarts and such. I'll reinforce that in the kitchen and he'll have a blast.
