I don't think six is too late at all! There is such a wide discrepancy of skill levels from 5-8! My dd turned 5 last month and is level 2. There is one other girl her age, a six year old, and a couple 7 year olds in her class. The older ones seem to pick things up a little quicker. My dd has been in gym for about a year now, but the first few months in pre-rec were more like play time. I don't think you miss much by starting at 6. As for hours, we only go 3 per week now. As long as she continues to love it, I will continue to let her go.....regardless of the hours required (well, within reason of course!)

Fortunately we have finished history and science. We have about five lessons to go in FLL and about 10 in math. My goal is to finish by the end of May. I don't like to finish the year until we have completed all of our math. If I have to, I will do more than one lesson in a day, crossing off some of the review, just to cover it all.

All of these things are why I deleted my account. It was all so fake to me. Once it started affecting my mood, I was out of there.

My mom had a chemical peel and that really lightened a lot of spots. I've tried OTC stuff to no avail. I just use a sunless tanner on my face, a good concealer, and hope they blend:)

My heart sunk reading your update. I will definitely pray for the family.

He may have had his personal failures, but I can't deny he was talented. It may not be everyone's style, but come on, the guy could paint. I'd love to crawl into one of his paintings of those beautiful cottages.

I'm taking him back at 2. Now there is a puffy line extending from the swollen lymph node right to the site of the bite:(.
-
Hmmmm.....now I wonder if I should go back in. I took him to urgent care and they think it's an ear infection. He's had many, with 3 sets of tubes, but nothing like this. They didn't test for anything since he had no rash. Maybe I should go back tomorrow and ask for tests?!?!

I was very nervous about my first appt. But, honestly, once I got there and started talking it was like this huge burden was lifted! A good doctor will rule out medical issues with a blood test and reassure you that, if you are dealing with a mental illness, that you are NOT crazy. It is a chemical imbalance and nothing to be ashamed about seeking treatment for. Medication has done wonders for me....I feel back to my "old" self. Good for you for seeking help! I feel sad for people that don't and spend their lives needlessly struggling!

I'm pretty sure it was a lone star tick. A very small one. A few days after that, he had a big one under his arm though:(
-
Ds had a tick about 2 weeks ago on his lower head/upper neck that I removed. About a week after he was complaining that his back and neck were sore. That's gone, but now the lymph node in his neck is swollen and sore to the touch:(. That is his only symptom....no fever, rash, lethargy, etc. Should I take him to Urgent Care (where it takes a few hours) or wait for his appt. tomorrow afternoon? It's starting to worry me:(
-
My dd is very allergic to shellfish. Glad you got the Benadryl....next I would get allergy testing done. Sometimes, as in my dd's case, each exposure can lead to a more serious reaction.
-
Good luck today! Lots of prayers and positive thoughts headed your way:)

I read during lunch. I usually eat before or after when they are doing something independently. I normally use this time to read history because it is easier to get their attention when they are sitting there eating. They love our literature read alouds so I don't need to use food to keep their attention for that:)
-
My ds is always trying to be funny. Trying being the operative word here. It usually involves some talk of pooping, farting, etc. when asked for a verb....stuff like that. It makes getting through FLL excruciating!

My Vidalia chopper. Best chopper ever:)
-
I was really nauseous the first five days or so when I started taking it. After that, I felt completely fine....well, better since it totally helped with my anxiety:)
-
I have taken it for 8 years and have never had that. I'd be putting a call in to my doctor!
-
33 weeks....and it was not comfortable!

I guess I can sort if join this club:). We just moved to 22 acres. It's a lot more work than we had anticipated. The house was a foreclosure, so the land is kind of a mess. We want to get animals, but have to get the chicken coop cleaned up, fences up, etc. So far, I have been taking care of the inside and dh the outside. But, I'm going to have to step it up outside if we want to get it under control. Needless to say, I'm pretty overwhelmed with it all! Look forward to seeing how you all do it!

The Great Turkey Walk has been my kids favorite read alouds. Especially because I had special voices for each character:)

Cases like this do not shock me anymore. My dd was in public school for K. She is Autistic and was in a special needs class. At the time, a major thing we struggled with was her tendency to wander off. The school and teacher were WELL aware of this. Yet, I came to discover that dd was sent outside of her portable classroom by herself when she acted up. She was supposed to sit next to the door (which was closed) with NO supervision. Thank God she never wandered away, but I was furious. This is just one instance of total neglect for her needs we experienced. PS was a nightmare as a parent of a special needs child:(

Patricia Cornwell - her Kay Scarpetta series..she's a medical examiner, so murder/suspense genre
Janet Evanovich - Stephanie Plum novels...they are funny, main character is a bounty hunter
Ann B. Ross - Miss Julia series
Patricia Cornwell is one of my favorites as well:)
Clue to Earhart mystery.
