MomtoCandJ replied to Jean in Newcastle's topic in The Chat Board
No stop in Ohio, it's too far out of the way and we just wanna go home. -

Nurses- I have questions (about school/degrees)
MomtoCandJ replied to sassenach's topic in The Chat Board
I'm going for RN right now (associates). The hospital I will be working for (they hire new grads and are always hiring RNs because the pay isn't as good as the larger hospitals that are a couple hours away) pays for BSN so I will be going that route. -
We used a pack and play with both girls. We had a crib for dd1 but she tried to climb out at 8 months old do we decided not to waste our money on a crib for dd2.

We have ACA insurance but we can't really afford to use it... $13,000 is what we have to pay per year before anything kicks in

How to get a teen to actually *use* sunscreen? <rant>
MomtoCandJ replied to KarenNC's topic in The Chat Board
A blistering event or 2... Ok that is what did it for me (after the 2nd blistering event I essentially have become a sun screen freak and now have a deep love affair with my rash guard). I do still burn occasionally but not bad (as in a little pink) mainly when I have an ADD moment and forget my "white girl" cream. -
I got one for a dollar and some change from Barnes and Noble but nothing as far as I have seen from Amazon :(

S/o, have you introduced your older teens yo alcohol?
MomtoCandJ replied to Prairie~Phlox's topic in The Chat Board
I plan on doing what my parents did with us... we were allowed to try whatever drink at home... We were also allowed to have "parties" as in a couple of friends over for drinks but no one was allowed to leave until the next day. My mom hid all vehicle keys so that no one could leave and she used her car to block everyone in. As for myself since I was able to sample and to drink in a safe environment, I now have no desire to drink at all. Though if I could find something with a low alchol level that I like I may drink that (so far no luck) -
No, my dad passed away one day his and my mom's 25th anniversary.

Who's going to tackle Saturday with me?
MomtoCandJ replied to Jean in Newcastle's topic in The Chat Board
Good morning, I'm preparing for a full house (actually over crowded).... We have friends staying in the camper and my mom, middle brother and his 3 kids are coming down today (bro and 3 kids staying with us for sure). - dishes- hand wash done, others in dishwasher - laundry- load in dryer - tidy house- round 1 done - attempt to finish bedroom deep clean (I'm getting my new desk tomorrow and in no way ready for it and will have in my house company until Tuesday afternoon)- hahaha the time I was going to use to clean was used instead to run errands - have girls clean their room (camper guest included because she helped to create the mess)- done for now - dinner-????? No idea how many will be here- my mom brought pizza - baths/showers (may have to begin this early due to the influx of people) - bedtime routine (will probably take longer due to increase of kids (my 2 plus his 3... 1 8 yr old, 3 7 yr olds and 1 2 yr old) - anything else I manage to get done- cleaned bathroom, picked up dh's meds, took dh his lunch, dropped bug stuff off at inlaws -
Does anyone know if you can use seat covers on heated leather seats??? I have the heated leather seats in my Fusion but I want to put cloth seat covers on them for the summer (so my butt doesn't get stuck while wearing shorts)
-
The maintenance on them can get rather pricey... We have one that needs a new canvas and to have the lift system cables replaced... Just the canvas will be over $1,000 (that's just the canvas... Having it installed is at least $800 and will not include anything to do with the lift system). I haven't researched the cost of the lift system and don't see the point because we won't be fixing this camper. We do have a slide in truck camper that we do use (this was given to us) and we are saving our money to buy a camper that will better suit our needs (like have a bathroom). We can get a rather large camper because dh's truck is equipped to do so.
-
It's a toss up... I mostly like the leather seats in my car... Except on days like today when my butt gets stuck to the seat

We are helping my youngest brother move to OKC and would like to know fun things to do there for the girls. We know the zoo and the gardens next to it :) the cheaper the better :) Oh and if you do go to the zoo starting in July, look out for my youngest brother Tim (he's going there to be a zoo keeper, just not I'm sure what area)
