Today JB took the day off work and went to the cabin with the boys, leaving me with a blissfully quiet house all day. The timing couldn't be more perfect and I love when life's road-bumps just sort of smooth themselves out a little by delivering some zen right when you need it. (Of course, sometimes it works the other way too, but let's just focus on the positive here.) I took advantage of the solitude — even the dog has been gone at the vet all day for her spay surgery — by cleaning the house and catching up on laundry, and I realize exactly how lame that sounds, but man, it's so incredibly satisfying to do those things when you can actually enjoy the results for a little while.
In between writing assignments and folding clothes, though, I found myself staring blankly into space a few times. The house was so silent, so utterly devoid of movement and life, and I wondered how things will really be when school starts back up in September. For the first time since I started working from home, both kids will be in school full time, and while I have been greatly looking forward to the exotic experience of getting things done without a cacophonous amount of background noise and distractions, I realize too that it will be an adjustment.
Will I revel in the luxury of having 6-7 hours of freedom each day? Or will I be achingly lonely? Will I take advantage of this new schedule to expand my freelance career or find other rewarding ways to invest my time? Or will I end up feeling invisible, isolated, and more than a little useless?
I suspect the answer will be "All of the above, at one time or another." I mean, that's kind of how things go, right? Balancing work and home and parenthood is always a mixed bag, wherever you're coming from. But it does feel like my options will open up this year. The road can be bumpy sometimes, but who knows where it will lead? Maybe the best places yet are just around the corner.

so will you use your extra hours to compile and publish/self publish all your parenting poetry from the boys' younger years? You were always spot on and I've been waiting to share a compilation of your stuff with expectant friends. My sister's first baby is due in January….. No pressure :)

This is precisely where I am right now. I'm an exhausted and pregnant SAHM to a very extroverted child. I cannot wait for school to start. But… She's starting Pre-K. Five days of school with a lot less parent participation. Last year I complained that they only had her 12 hours a week and I was generally there for at least 4 of them. I wonder if this year I will revel in the time to get things done, or feel lonely for her.

My experience is that at first it seems like an unimaginably large block of time…but pretty soon you fill it up & the day goes by in a flash and before you know it, it's pickup time. Actually, I find that 6-7 hours a day completely to myself is just about what I need.

Last year was my first year with all kids in school all day. I work from home as well, so was looking forward to the extra time. It is true the day goes by really quickly. What I found as an introvert was that the time alone helped me recharge my batteries in a way that I did not even know they needed recharging. By the end of the year, I had more energy and was more clear headed than I had been in years. So while the summer has been nice, and I love my kids, I am once again looking forward to Sept.

My advice? Give yourself a schedule. I spend 3-4 hours a day writing, maximum of an hour cleaning (when you only have 60 mins man, you get it done fast) and the other 1-2 hours doing whatever the heck I please. ME TIME. No one has to know what you do, and you sure as heck do not need to feel guilty about it. Embrace your time, work hard, clean fast, and give yourself a break!

Ness's comment is spot on. I'd further suggest that you create a few to-do lists so that you know what to do ahead of time (I tend to dither "what to do, what to do" when faced with more than 15 min of free time). Mine are sort of broken down by how much time I have available – have 60 min, do X, Y, or Z, but if I have only 30, then I do A, B, or C. I also have items separated by status – the recurring tasks (scoop litter box, laundry) vs the 1-time tasks (fix broken hinge on cabinet door), as well as by fun things that I want to do vs not-so-fun things that I have to do. I know this sounds incredibly nerdy, but I create the lists while I'm distracted at work, so none of my precious free time is wasted trying to make decisions.
Regarding the quiet, when we moved in 2012, I went back to our house of 8 years to do the final clean up. When the house was sparkling and pristine (even the realtor representing the buyer made a point of commenting on how beautifully I'd cleaned), it was so weirdly stripped of our personalities that I felt like I had to yell all the kids' names one last time, just to prove to myself that we'd existed. It was so strange to call for them and not hear pounding footsteps follow. I was glad to get back in my car and return to the mashup of hugs and dirt and chaos and laughter.

The grass is always greener, isn't it? I'm with you. My 4YO just started school again and I'm…a little lost and a little happy. I love the alone time, but I do miss seeing her face pop around the corner. I'm getting an assload of work done, but picking her up from school and singing her lullabies to sleep at night are my two favorite times of the day.
Then again, being able to go to the bathroom without having to narrate what I'm doing through the door is kind of priceless.

I have no wisdom to impart as I've never really worked from home for more than a sporadic day, but just wanted to say that I've been gone for a month (staycation – just hanging with the kids at home mostly) and I feel like I hit the jackpot of Sundry bounty to find all these entries waiting for me upon my return!

SAME BOAT. For the FIRST time this fall both kids will be in full time school. First time I've had a REAL break in 8.5 years of parenting (as a full time parent). I have been fantasizing about it NONSTOP for about 12 months. Counting down. Cannot WAIT. All the other moms have been saying they are dreading their youngest going off to Kinder and I just laugh at them because I AM SO FREAKING READY. So last night we went to back to school night to see his classroom, etc. And I actually cried. So. I guess you're right. Mixed bag. It isn't just all jumping, gleeful Mommy. It's also sentimental and nostalgic and end of an era and all that. But, as another commenter said. As an introvert, I think I am finally FINALLY going to feel normal again this year.

Hi, I am Meghan Reynolds and this really is how you can set up a working log guide. There are three principal reasons why this really is essential. One particular to track your progress, two to help keep you accountable and three to determine what may be resulting in injuries. The principle facts you will need to record would be the style of exercise, so whether it had been a run, a long run, a track exercise or maybe a tempo run, the miles plus the duration. So how lengthy you basically ran. Additional facts that are needed are exactly where you ran, your level of fatigue, muscle soreness, the temperature and the way you felt all round. Consider to also consist of more workout routines like a spin class, yoga, Pilates or any cardio or fitness class. It need to not be applied as being a substitute for skilled health care tips, diagnosis or remedy. LIVESTRONG can be described as registered trademark of the LIVESTRONG Foundation.

Hi, I am Carla Kay, Celebrity Manicurist and these days, I am likely to present you how you can set your nail polish. So, the moment you've set your nail polish, an absolute ought to should be to finish off using a speedy dry top coat. On Elena, I am likely to use Excellent To Go Speedy Dry Major Coat by Essie. So, I have basically currently utilized the two layers of color coat, we're just likely to finish off by engaging in a thin coat in the Excellent To Go Speedy Dry Major Coat. And you always like to be certain that you cap off that end; that'll basically enable seal the edge in the nail polish wherever they won't chip. And just be certain that you cover with the final coat on each and every sidewall, the many way more than to the edge and capping off the edge can help seal down the polish in order to avoid chipping. I waited very likely about a minute or two in between my coats and by waiting a minute or two, I get much more of an even coverage in addition to a smooth seem. After which the moment you have completed your color coats, give it about a minute to dry and then apply your speedy dry top coat. I have basically heard individuals coming up with all sorts of strategies of drying their nail polish, I don't believe that you might want to basically go while in the freezer and dry your nail polish. The speedy dry coats are all which you demand. A good deal of people wish to fan their hands all-around and that'll basically, you hit your nails, they get messed up that way. Many people wish to use the speedy dry spray, but basically, should you more than apply, you will get too close to the nail polish, you're likely to produce minor air bubbles. So, I similar to just waiting, taking your time, allow them dry. Give by yourself a minimum of fifteen minutes to sit devoid of engaging in anything. At your house, you simply demand a single coat of top coat not two. One particular final tip, individuals believe that it's good to shake the bottle of top coat; you do not like to do that. You're likely to produce bubbles that's likely to depart minor air pockets while in the finish coat. Elena's all set and which is how you set your nail polish. I am Carla Kay, thanks for watching.Learn how to Setup Company while in the Fastest Developing City while in the Globe

In my point of view you would need a factory reset. If that won't solve your problem perhaps a clean install..
Let me know after it..

A Historian's Look At African American Elites Before The Civil War
Most African Americans living in the South before the Civil War were enslaved. But what may not be as well-known is the history of free African Americans in places like Savannah. Dr. Whittington Johnson is a retired history professor and the author of several books about black history. As part of the city's commemoration of Juneteenth, he visited Savannah's Second African Baptist Church this week.

Students At Mercer University Test The Campus Racial Climate
As Mercer University continues to celebrate 50 years of integration, students are taking their campus's temperature on race. Emily Wilson is among a group of sociology students who surveyed 360 of their peers. "I personally was a little surprised by the overall response, in that for the most part students really did seem to perceive a positive racial climate," she said. "I think I may have expected to see a little more controversy than we did." However, Wilson says there were some students who thought there should be more diversity on campus. Currently the student body is just over 58 percent white, 23 percent black and Hispanic.

Questions tagged with 'definite'http://www.grammarly.com/answers/questions/tags/definite2016-02-06T22:00:39ZDefinite article with plurals meaning some of a grouphttp://www.grammarly.com/answers/questions/52973-definite-article-with-plurals-meaning-some-of-a-group/
 Hello everybody. My question might seem quite easy but it brought me to a confusion.

 1) Assuming there were many people in a room and I was talking to some of them, would it be correct to say the next sentence, assuming that the listener knows which people I was talking to:

 "I met many people in the room, and talked to the people, who told me you know what...".#

 Will it be a correct reference to those people as the listener knows who they are, so for him "the people" doesn't mean all of the people in the room?

 2) Is this sentence correct?

 "I saw some strange birds outside. The birds were grey."

 - Do the birds here refer to those specific birds or all the birds at all (as it is obvious that there were other "not strange birds outside)?

 As I understand "the" can mean all of or just specific of a group, that becomes clear from the context. Here it could mean all, but for the listener it seems more that I refer to particular ones (as in my examples above), correct?

 Thanks :)

1 answer

 The main problem with you first sentence is that it seems a bit silly to tell the reader that you talked to them. It is difficult to meet someone without talking. It is also a given that you talked to someone who told you something. There is no need to tell the reader a third time that there ewas talking.

 I met many people in the room who told me ...

 In your sentences about birds, it is reasonable to assume that the reader will know you are only talking about the strange birds. Other ways to communicate the same information:

 I saw some strange birds outside. They were grey.

 I saw some strange grey birds outside.

 Why doesn't EPA use the definite article?http://www.grammarly.com/answers/questions/51147-why-doesnt-epa-use-the-definite-article/
 I've always thought that initialisms use the definite article (the FBI, the CIA), acronyms leave it out (NASA, NOAA). EPA seems to leave out the definite article, even though they're definitely using the word as an initialsim (EE-PEE-AY not EEPUH). I can't figure out why. Any thoughts?

 Again about the usage of articleshttp://www.grammarly.com/answers/questions/44081-again-about-the-usage-of-articles/
 I am trying to understand, how to use articles in general situations correctly.

 For example:

 1) a) Water was found on THE surface of Mars.

 b) You can find a lot of bugs on A surface of soil.

 Have I written the both of these sentences correctly?

 2) I like walking on sand.

 Any sand is OK, yes?

 3) Speaking to native speakers is THE way to improve your language skills.

 So, at the begining of the sentence we have shown this way, that's why the listener know what we are talking about. Correct?

 4) If you are not familiar with THE territory you are hunting on, you must be careful!

 A kind of advice. It may be any territory, but it is defined by the activity you are doing on it, am I right?

 5) THE risk of catching a cold decreases if you follow some simple rules.

 Are not we talking about the definite kind of risk?

 6) If you use this cream, THE skin on you hand will be softer.

 We are advertising our special cream to an audience, so if it is correct to use the article?

 7) Speak English everyday. As THE result, you will improve it.

 No comments. Just intuition.

 8) Run in mornings to keep fit.

 No THE, because in any mornings, right?

 Also, are there any exceptions?

 Thank you for your answers.

FarmVille Dairy Crafting Guide: Everything you need to know about the FarmVille Dairy!
Posted on January 30, 2013 11:27 pm by FarmVille Freak FarmGoddess
The story is that the local dairy was destroyed and they need our help fulfilling outstanding orders. You can use your Dairy to craft goods, fill orders from the town, and then get exclusive prizes and materials to expand and improve your Dairy. There's more good news- you can start crafting right away. There's no construction phase to get this feature working or begging for parts. It's ready to go on placement.
Once the update is made available to you on your FarmVille farm, you will receive a pop-up notification inviting you to place the Dairy on your farm. If you don't have enough room to place your Dairy, it will go to your FarmVille Gift Box for safekeeping. You may also find the Dairy in your FarmVille Market for the cost of only 1 Farm Coin.
You can have more than one Dairy or several across your FarmVille farms, but think of the Dairy as universal. Each Dairy will take you to the same menu with the same progress, having multiple Dairies only gives you several different access points.
How the Dairy Works
The Dairy is self-contained and doesn't require additional buildings or begging for that matter. There are three main parts which includes the following:
- Order Board – houses Dairy orders from town.
- Raw Materials -ingredients used in Dairy recipes.
- Crafting Machines – how you make Dairy recipes.
Order Board
The Order Board allows you to access orders from the town. Simply click on a face to see that person's order. You can fill orders by crafting items in your Dairy to then earn prizes. Every order that you fill will earn you Farm Coins, items for your farm or items that can be used to expand your Dairy, and Dairy Points. Dairy Points are similar to XP, but exclusively for your Dairy. You will need to level-up your Dairy to unlock new machines and recipes.
There are a total of six Raw Materials stations. You can unlock them all when you level-up your Dairy. Each Raw Material station harvests for different for different ingredients that you use in the Dairy Recipes. Dairy Recipes are made with the Crafting Machines. Upon start, the first station, the Milk Station, is already unlocked as soon as you place your Dairy on your farm.
Each station will harvest one type of raw ingredient.
- Milk Station – harvests for Milk
- Culture Station – harvests for Culture
- Banana Plant Station – harvests for Banana
- Strawberry Plant Station – harvests for Strawberry
- Cocoa Plant Station – harvests for Cocoa
- Vanilla Plant Station – harvests for Vanilla
Harvesting Your Station
Each Raw Material Station is ready to harvest in 5 minutes or less. You can see how soon your Station will be ready by the pink indicator above each station.
Once you harvest one of your stations, the Raw Ingredient you harvest will go straight to your Dairy's Silo.
Crafting Machines
There are six Crafting Machines total that you will be able to unlock as you level-up your Dairy. The first machine, the Butter Churn, will be available to you from the start of your farm's Dairy. The rest will be unlocked as you level-up.
Types of Crafting Machines
Butter Churn Crafting Machine
- Makes Butter recipe
Cream Crafting Machine
- Cream recipe

- Cottage Cheese recipe
- Kefir recipe
Cheese Ager Crafting Machine

- Strawberry Milkshake recipe
- Chocolate Milkshake recipe

- Strawberry Cottage Cheese recipe
- Chocolate Kefir recipe
- Vanilla Kefir recipe
Freezer Crafting Machine
- Chocolate Gelato recipe
- Vanilla Gelato recipe
- Chocolate Ice Cream recipe
- Strawberry Ice Cream recipe
Your Dairy's Barn & Silo
Your Dairy has a Barn and a Silo already attached to it for storage. These storage facilities each hold up to 10 Goods or 10 Raw Ingredients at first. All the Goods that you craft in the Crafting Machines will be stored in your Dairy's Barn. Each recipe takes anywhere between 2 minutes to 24 hours to complete.
You can expand your Dairy's Barn and Silo to hold more items. Each time you expand, you will be able to hold 10 additional items with each expansion.
Expanding Your Dairy's Barn
Your Dairy's Barn can be expanded using the following parts per expansion:
- 10 Dairy Shelves
- 10 Ice Cream Scoopers
- 10 Cheese Cloth
Expanding Your Dairy's Silo
Your Dairy's Silo can be expanded using the following parts per expansion:
- 10 Ice Blocks
- 10 Thermometers
- 10 Milk Bottles
As you expand your Silo and Barn, your Dairy will become larger and more grand.
Earning Dairy Prizes
You can earn prizes from your Dairy by filling orders from the Order Board.
To earn prizes in the Dairy, you must fill all the orders on the Order Board. Click on a face to see an order that needs filling.
You will get rewards for each order you complete, as well as a bigger prize for completing all orders on the Order Board. Orders can be for Raw Ingredients, Crafted Dairy Goods, or both. As you level up your Dairy, the orders will get larger and more complex.

Oh, no. Thanks, but I don't deserve this best answer. I didn't have a clue about those Carters. I was being silly. The obvious answer is that he was a member of SOME Carter family. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to mislead.
