Pre-occupied with what you ask? Well now that we have a new water heater in place, praise God!!! (and thanks to my brother-in-law who is a plumbing parts delivery driver), I have been catching up on the laundry.
Plus with my in-laws coming into town tonight, I have been making sure the house is up to snuff.
No, the pressure isn't from them. They are so great and my mother-in-law is one of my biggest cheerleaders in understanding my time limits. I do the pressure myself because I want everything just right. Tonight, we have 11 family members coming over for dinner. For some, that is a cake walk to prepare for and for others it is a huge amount to feed. I tend to sit right in the middle. I find it works best to simply not think about it and have fun.
The menu tonight is spagetti.....and home made bread.
In the midst of preparing the above, below is a sample of one of the things I taught today....
-2X + 8 = -X + 2
Can you solve it?
verifier: demxfuny them is funny -- not your math, though! I should be able to do that problem, but I've been doing 5th grade math for ten years. That seems to be my limit ...
ReplyDeleteMy love says that x = 6. I'll go with that answer.
Quilly beat me to it. x=6
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great time with the family
What do I win if I get the answer and can I come over for some of that bread? :o)
ReplyDeleteThat bread looks really delicious, and I think that 11 people sounds like an awful lot to be cooking for - I hope that you all have a wonderful time, and try not to be too hard on yourself.
ReplyDeleteQuilly and OC....Bravo! You now get 5 gold stars for a job well done.
ReplyDeleteJeff...Good for you too. You get a big happy smile.
Kelly...Hon you can always come over for hot fresh bread. This batch I gave a small helping of onion and a generous helping cheddar cheese.
Mima...Thank you for the well wishes. You made me smile from the inside out.
Whew. I was afraid I was going to have to try to solve that one.
ReplyDeleteThat bread looks yummy. Can you come to my house next?
