Yes. I'm actually excited because the bathroom in my new apartment is large, and there is a little corner area that is nice and far from the toilet and will be perfect for a basket of books.
(FTR: I have toothbrush covers AND they go in the medicine cabinet, and I spent a long time training DD to ALWAYS put the toilet seat down before flushing. :tongue_smilie:)
-
I would think it was extremely tacky, and may or may not answer.
(FWIW: My daughter, 5.5, is not by my boyfriend, but since we all have similar coloring and DD looks SO much like me, people automatically assume he is her father, which brings about some equally interesting conversations. My children won't have the same father, and some won't even have the same mother since he and I have already discussed adoption.)
-
DD is young enough that it hasn't really become an issue yet.
I'm Mimoo to one of my friends kids. Her younger daughter started calling me that when she was about 18 months old and it stuck. We aren't sure where it came from.
To everyone else I'm either Kymmie or Aunt Kymmie. Or Jenna's mommy. :tongue_smilie:
I'd prefer not to be Miss first or last name. It just doesn't fit me.

My daughter is 5.5 and still needs my help. Our water is set pretty hot and I don't want her to burn herself, so I set the temp, and her hair is very long and she needs my help to wash it. She can wash her body though. :tongue_smilie:

Do you know why she wants to go to school? I've had friends with children who wanted to have a lunchbox, ride the school bus etc. It might be a bigger issue or it might be something that could be helped by buying a lunchbox.
:iagree:My daughter went through a period of really wanting to go to "real" school. After some conversations, I realized that she just wanted to ride a bus and thought school was playing with her friends all day. I reminded her that we ride buses when we go to DC, and let her know that she would be going to a completely different school than her friends.
I also told her that if she went to school she'd have to take naps and couldn't learn French and couldn't go to dance as often. That was pretty much the end of the school idea for her. Is there anything in particular that the little girl is interested in that could be presented as a special thing since she homeschools?

ETA again' date=' I did find some of the "missing" videos by going through Satori's blog of favorites (THANK YOU!!). Still can't print the worksheets and such though :([/quote']
Oh this is disappointing. I am planning on using Elementary Spanish this year and thought signing up through G3 would be great and give us brainpop also, and for a better deal! But if we can't get the worksheets, guess we'll be going through HSBC for Discovery Streaming with no brainpop!

Could I get an invite? I requested one from pinterest yesterday morning... still waiting... :crying:
-
As if I needed another time sucker in my life...
I requested an invite, waiting for it now. It looks fun!! :tongue_smilie:

Isn't part of feminism the freedom to choose what you want to do, not be forced into something? I say good for them.
I agree with this. I think there are some women (and families) for whom staying home is the right thing, just as there are some women and families who working is the right thing to do.
I'm grateful that I live in a time where women are able to choose whether to work or stay at home, and other than heated "discussions" among (mostly) other women, we are able to pursue the choices we make.

I really love my dog. I mean, really, really, really love her. So much that I'm getting her paw print tattooed on my foot.

I'm a writer waiting to be published.
I've been writing fiction (short stories, novels, a little poetry) for.... 16 years. My dream to is be published. The reality is that my non fiction will likely be published first- I'm hoping to get my honors thesis published when I finish it next year.

Nope, for me the stress level goes down with the start of school.
But... we spend the summers with my parents, so the stress has more to do with a certain grandmother overstepping her boundaries and trying to be mommy instead of nana.... :tongue_smilie:

My welcome back to the boards after a long, busy summer! :D
1. I love to read. Love, love, love it. I will spend hours reading, pass up on sleeping and eating, and generally avoid being interrupted in favor of reading.
2. I'm a history major in school, eventually going for my PhD to be a college professor. I love Latin American history, especially 19th and 20th century Brazil. Don't ask me about it unless you have time... lots of time! :lol:
3. My daughter was a surprise and miracle. I have severe endometriosis and was told I'd never get pregnant on my own. I was also on birth control, and was only "with" her father one time. It was such a shock, I didn't find out I was pregnant until I was 4.5 months along, cuz I never expected it!
4. My favorite color is pink.
5. My last meal would be all you can eat Maryland blue crabs, medium rare filet mignon, corn on the cob, and a baked potato.
6. Two months ago I met someone. Completely unexpectedly, I met the love of my life. Things have been moving very quickly, but.... well, when you know, you know.
7. I want to travel, everywhere, but as of yet I haven't been off the eastern seaboard of the United States. I haven't even been on a plane.
8. I have 3 tattoos and one piercing. In about a month, I will be getting more tattoo work done on what will eventually be an entire back piece.
9. I am learning to speak, and teaching my daughter, both French and Spanish.
10. I don't vote because I have yet to find a candidate I can agree with. My "big" issues tend to fall on completely different sides of the political spectrum.

Hi ladies. It's been a long time since I've been here- life has been very crazy around here. Broken down cars, working full time for the summer, a new relationship, family medical problems.... :svengo:
Anyways, with summer nearing an end, I'm (still) lost as to where to send my notice letter. I gave up my old apartment and we are staying with my parents for the summer. We move into our new apartment on September 1st. Should I report to the county my parents live in, or wait until we move in and report to the county we'll be living in during the school year?
I am leaning towards just reporting once we get moved in. But I don't want to create a problem by not reporting before school starts. The law says that I'm supposed to inform the school system 2 weeks before the school year starts. (Oh. I'm in Maryland. The county we are staying in right now is Charles, the county we are moving to is Wicomico.)
-
I'm worried also. Not about a nursing two year old, but about the food (picky eater! :tongue_smilie:) and about meeting everyone. We can definitely put up with anything for a few days, but I don't want to do something socially-stupid and get myself blackballed from the loving embrace of the Hive! :lol:
-
I'll be in jeans and casual tops the whole weekend. A little dressier than t-shirts, but not by much, and flip flops! :tongue_smilie:
-
I'd be fine with splitting into two groups if that makes it easier.
And my preference would be for the 8 or 9 slot over 5:15, but I could make either work.
-
I'm coming. I'm presenting! Come to my Nature Study workshop (but I'm up against SWB's high school talk, so I'll understand... want to be in two places at once myself!) Would like to go to the dinner on Thursday as well.
I'll be there!! :D My 5 year old is a loooong way from high school, and as much as I *want* to do nature study- it always gets shoved aside. :tongue_smilie:Looking forward to hearing you.

Have you thought about starting a Yahoo group? There, you can make membership conditional, and even make it so posts go through the administrator before they're posted.
Good idea. I wonder how many people would be interested in joining....
(off to post a thread asking! :D)
ETA: It's not against the rules or anything if I start a thread about starting a yahoo group devoted to politics is it? Just want to make sure... can't afford to get myself even temporarily banned from these boards, then I might have to do something crazy like.... teach my child. heh.

Slight hijack. How is the public transportation system? Is there somewhere outside the city to park and take the metro in? Is there an all day pass? If I wanted to see some of the historical sights, can I reach by metro?
:tongue_smilie:
I've always wanted to see some of the historical "stuff" in Philly, but I've never made it there. I'll be coming up that way for the RFWP conference in two weeks and thought I'd go to Philly for the day before heading to.... (uhm, whatever town the conference is in. :001_huh:Total mind-blank!)
-
my mini me. :D Not very descriptive huh? But oh so appropriate!
Okay, okay.
imaginative, intelligent, sassy.

I understand why this is a rule, although, I am disappointed since I enjoy the opinions of many ladies here. Especially the ones who hold different opinions than myself.
Is it okay to ask where we can discuss political issues? Does anyone know of a board where political issues are discussed for real? (As opposed to drama, name-calling, and ridiculousness.)
Would it be acceptable to start a social group here on the WTM boards?
(Related- is there a way to limit membership so that we can keep it to people who want to discuss political issues friendly?)

I'd be up for some walking- but I'm ridiculously out of shape and can only run in spurts. :tongue_smilie:

I'm in Waldorf Maryland (Charles County- southern part of the state). I have power, but friends within a couple miles on each side of us have lost their power. We have a lot of rain and wind- really picking up out there.
Just hoping my new apartment on the Eastern Shore is okay- I'm about 45 miles from Ocean City, but right on a river.
