Happy Friday, y’all! Can you believe it’s almost Christmas? Is anyone less prepared than I am? I seriously don’t think I’ve ever been less prepared for Christmas.

I didn’t buy the first gift until this week. I still have a few more to buy but I have no ideas. Christmas should not be this stressful.

For the first time in all our years of marriage, Brian and I aren’t exchanging gifts. We decided the remodel and the projects that we’ll be doing ourselves is gift enough. Neither of us could think of anything we need or even want other than new interior doors. {grin} Sad, but true.

And the remodeling? {sigh} Nothing has happened since last Thursday. I hope things start moving quickly after the first of the year.

If you love All About Spelling and All About Reading, don’t miss the huge giveaway they’re doing to celebrate the launch of the new, full-color All About Reading books.

So, for some big news. After trying the new format for a while, I’m ready to retire the Weekly Wrap-Up. With Brianna and Josh graduated and Megan plugging away on her own, I never really feel like I have anything to say. I’d rather put my creative energy into bringing you another post during the week…or working on that book that never seems to move from “someday.”

Participation has been low for quite some time and I feel like a broken record most weeks. This is usually the time of year that we take off until after the first of the year. I just don’t think I’m going to pick it back up in January.

Last year, there wasn’t much interest from anyone else in hosting, but I’ll put the offer out there again. If you’d like to host the Weekly Wrap-Up on your site, let me know.

If you’d like to keep seeing pictures of my creatures or of the remodel (hopefully there will be some “after” stuff to take photos of soon), follow me on Instagram. You can also check out the Weird, Unsocialized Homeschoolers Facebook page or the Weird Unsocialized Homeschoolers Community.

I may try moving it to the WUHS Community page, so that’s your best bet for following something like the Weekly Wrap-Up specifically.

Thank you all for sharing your week and listening to me ramble about mine all these years! Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, y’all!

Happy Friday, y’all! I hope you’ve all had an amazing week. Are you on Christmas break already? If not, when will you start?

What’s Happening in WUHS World

It’s been an interesting week. The remodeling work that was supposed to start Monday at 9 a.m. finally started Wednesday. One of the hazards of modeling during cold and flu season it that sometimes the people who are doing the work get sick. Things are underway now, though.

Our cabinets that were supposed to be delivered mid-January are now being delivered within the next two weeks. Y’all know how I crave routine, right? This project is definitely pushing me out of my comfort zone. [Read more…]

Happy Friday, y’all! I hope you all had a fantastic first week of December. I’m not sure I’m ready for winter. Can we just skip to spring?

What’s Happening in WUHS World

Well, after complaining about it last Friday, we got some exciting news. Our bathroom remodel starts on Monday! I don’t know what changed, but I got a call last Friday night to schedule a time for our pre-construction meeting. Maybe they read my blog. {grin}

The boys are getting so big!

The general contractor and our project specialist came out Tuesday to go over everything. We’re still not 100% sure about the bathroom layout. They’re going to get the attic area framed in so we can get a better idea of how much space we’re going to have.

I know it’s not going to be fun during the remodel (6-8 weeks of sharing a bathroom with the kids), but I’m so excited to finally be getting started. At least we don’t have to start sharing a bathroom right away. They’re going to do all they can in the attic area before putting out bathroom out of commission.

We still don’t have our Christmas tree up. I’ve never waited this long, but I’m not especially excited about keeping Josh’s puppy (and probably Belle and a few cats) out of it. I did decorate the fireplace mantle, though. [Read more…]
