Oh, well since it'd be all over if you were having the next baby.... I'm assuming that it's not round trip.... Fine!! :glare: Hope to see you tonight :)

Which is funny, because wasn't it in CO that they weren't allowed at the HS convention because of the secular content of their books?? Poor company can't win :(

That's so exciting!! Congrats :)

How long are you guys going for? I'd board him :) I know a great place ;)

Fun!! :) Congrats to all of you :)

I think so... You're fine if they're just watching tv or playing wii or stuff? Our kids at that age often stay up till say.... 11 or 12, but they're in before 10pm except for occasionally on the wknd.... Usually they're in by say 8pm or so :)

Really scary :( Let us know when he gets home!! Hugs....

Well, When we had our co-op we did SOTW over a 6 year period. (1st-6th grade) Then we had MFW for Highschool (Starting with Ancient) We went round and round about what to use for Jr High/7th&8th. We used something but we really weren't happy. There was literally NO curriculum that came close to a American History curriculum that made us happy. I would have LOVED a curriculum that had American History with some other history intertwined as appropriate with great maps. :)

Exciting!! :)

Well Jean... it'd be fun to be on your porch!! :) Hey Bee... bet they're Cutco... You'll love them and buy more!! :) Wait till his commission % goes up and then ask for a bit of a deal ;) I'm only drinking water :) We went to Olive Garden and got reseated to a better spot, because they had cramped us in a small spot. Bonus was no crying child at the next table. I was able to be with my brother, dad, mom, and my family. (Minus my daughter who is in MI with her Bio-dad) I'm waiting for Baseball season for my 9 year old to be over... about 5 more games. Seriously I feel like it's been all baseball since April :( I'm hoping for a sunshiny week with air conditioning to keep me cool :) My favorite Super Hero is Wonder Woman!!! :)

I can feel a drink after the first few sips... I just don't drink enough not to... I'm about 130lbs so I also think it's something about weight, too... maybe...

Left a note for them. Thanks for letting us know...

Mmmmm.... maybe it's not. To me, when I pay a ton of money for classes and then over $200 for the performance, I can't think of it as funny if I can't properly hear.

Cursive is suppose to help brain development. I taught my son cursive before I'm teaching him to print. Oh well... maybe if the schools are going to teach one and not the other, they'll choose cursive in a few years. Funny thing is, they don't really make the kids write a certain way, anyway. so print and cursive usually end up looking horrible :(

Yup, I'd be seriously irritated. I'd think you rude if you said those things TO the lady, but you're just kinda venting to us :) I pay close to $1500 a year for my daughter to dance... I wanna see those 1.5hrs without a baby or toddler screaming. I don't understand why people who have littles don't get babysitters... Seriously.... I think there should be ushers to come and ask parents to take their kids out... I mean... I understand that babysitters fall through... but that's not what's happening. It's become customary to bring babies/toddlers to places where they really shouldn't be :(

Kitty formula ;)

Ok, I'll bite... I don't know who you are ;(

Oh... I know what they are (UMs) but we're not fortunate enough to have any around us :(

Oh how incredibly sad :( Prayers for their poor family :(

We watched Bridezilla the other night :) Sounds like you'll have your own....

Well, I guess the bottom line is parents who care, can produce children who learn. I think that's true of our children who are in school and our son who is at home. I also think it is MY responsibility to know whether my child can read and comprehend well. That's just the difference between a diligent parent and one who's not. I do think that each family needs to choose what they believe is important for their children to learn and measure what their child is learning in whatever environment they are learning. And... that ALL children are home educated for part of their day.... :)

I think family members may be more honest about their feelings. They may also be worried about you. Much more is known about adoption and how it affects other family members... I notice your little one is only 2....

Well, I don't know how much you have to lose... if you're still nursing.... and all the other factors that figure into losing weight. For me: Once I start wanting to lose weight: Pick jeans that are tightish... Stop eating sugar. Pick proteins to eat... Eat tons of vegetables and some fruit... Drink water No diet drinks... (no artificial sweeteners) Walk some... If you can think of some healthy exercise.... do it. Also, if you're nursing... nurse away!!! Use this time as a "get the fat sucked out of you" thru nursing!! :)

Well, I didn't feed formula and nursed till almost 3 and almost 5 with my kids. I gave Avent Bottles to them from when they were little... just like the ads, I could switch back and forth whenever ;) Have someone try out an Avent bottle when your little one is hungry but not starved and see if it would work. I always had a couple or more days of milk stored in my freezer. If you start now... I think it'd work. I also fed a little rice milk when I wanted some extra milk ;) I also had a few times when I had 3-5 days of not nursing and then just started up when I came back. Depends on how much your baby loves to nurse. Mine would have kept going till college ;)

Do you have the choice of placing her in 2nd grade instead of 3rd? I would do it either way, if my child wanted to learn the language. I'd also expect some tutoring to get everything stable. Within a year, hopefully, she would be fine :)
