Four person family and I chose "other". I wash 5-6 times a week and that is because we have a portable washer so it takes more time and loads to wash our stuff. I typically do two loads a day in the portable washer in the morning.

Do you have the Military Channel? So many WWII programs on here.
I think it's called "WWII in Color" - awesome!

I basically just don't. I buy art supplies and books and the kids are free to "make art". I have one who is very into it. The other..not really. I sometimes get some library books about famous artists as a read aloud.
I don't do Latin either.
This is what I do as well for art. I have a drawer full of odds and ends that they use to make projects on their own as art. Also when they are working on something, I play different music genres and call that "music". I talk briefly about the instruments heard, for example, just to make it a little more "official".

Agree with Magic School Bus chapter books!

NOEO Chemistry was a hit here. My big girl strives on Singapore Math (with the Challenging Word Problem book and the Intensive Practice). We have also dabbled in Beast Academy and MEP. She also like Penrose the Mathematical Cat books.

We use BJU Spelling too and I like it. I use just the worktexts (We completed 1st grade last year and are in the 2nd grade book). I think it's just enough for us without being over powering.

Changing the reward to nickels is a better idea than food.
But I do have to mention that an eating disorder is a much more complicated issue that doesn't just develop by bribing a child with M&Ms.

We are eating lots of pears, apples and plums since the trees are busting with them!

Wow, no one thinks this would be cool?
Maybe if I were a math guru!
But I think it would be much cooler pulling out some cash from my new purse at the end of my one hour massage! hehe!
-
No! If I had that sort of extra money laying around, I would use it for a massage or purse over a workshop! :lol:

Though I've never had any sort of acne problem, I get them here and there. And just like one at a time. Maybe 2x a month.

I'm the most productive in the morning so I make sure that is when I'm working on my cleaning. We are up very early in my house so I have a couple of hours to do this before we start school. We also follow a routine. Routines are very important imo.
I multi-task like picking up as I am walking across the house, on the phone, etc.
I wash the dishes and clean the kitchen after each meal. When I'm cooking, there is a sink with soap and water in it so I can do dishes while the food cooks.
Big thing is JUST GET IT DONE. Don't whine about how messy your house is on a message board. That 15 minutes it took you to post your whine could have been 15 minutes cleaning the toilet. I'm always on the move, always doing something...yes, it is tiring but stuff gets done and (as a double bonus) I stay fit!

Guys, I don't think she's going to respond and we've all pretty much said the same thing.
I wish she would cause I would like to know why she is using the "single mom" card when her girls are grown adults aged 19 and 26.

Um, if you were renting from my family (who have been landlords for over 40 years), not only would you get hit with a "returned check" fee but also a late charge if your rent ended up late because of your NSF. When rent is due and paid, your check better be good. It's not the landlord's fault.
ETA: Oh yeah...and if you didn't pay for all money owed because of your NSF, you would be taken to small claims court for all money owed AND court fees.
(Sorry, no sympathy here, it was your fault.)

I guess this isn't daily but dusting is the last thing I want to do. There are no other daily chores that I do not mind...OCD pushes me forward with daily chores! LOL

I've never heard of MCM before. I think it's very difficult for a lady to NOT think some celebrity is "hot". I don't think it is harmful to your relationship because what chance do you really have with said crush. Unless you are completely obsessed and focused on your crush, then that's probably where you need some sort of help because again, what chance do you really have with said crush.
My dh knows that my man crush is Wanya Morris of Boyz II Men!

French Onion Soup!

Small snack when they first get up, breakfast, snack, lunch (generally heavier), two afternoon snacks, dinner (generally lighter).
Seems like a lot but these girls are up between 5:30/6am and generally go to bed between 8:30/9pm. And they are put to bed, I don't know when they fall asleep. And they are super super, duper duper high energy all.day.long.
-
I don't need to "shoot" for any physical activity amount. My girls are extremely, super super, duper duper, high energy and active all.day.long. And our days run 14-16 hours normally. So physical activity just happens.

Spray a muffin tin, cut the cooked meat up into little pieces and put them along with anything else you want (cheese, tomato, onion, etc) into each muffin tin. Beat 3-4 eggs (works with about 6 muffin cups) in a bowl - I add milk, salt/pepper to the egg mixture - then pour egg mixture over the stuff in each muffin cup. Bake at 350 until eggs are done. Nice breakfast item with toast!

Around here, diners are real - locally owned, mom and pop joints with booths, table and chairs and usually stools right at the counter where you can sit and get a cup of coffee and chat for a while with the person next to you. The daily newspaper is usually floating around the place for the locals to browse while relaxing in a booth. Prices are cheap and there's a wide variety of food offered with lots of home-cooking.
Diners here have been around for a while so nothing is sparkling new. Everything is well loved though replaced when needed. Waitresses often work at the same place for a long time and know all of the regulars. And there are lots of regulars!
Denny's is not a diner, it's a chain.
