Wow. I can't even begin to imagine how hard this is. :grouphug:

Thank you for that reminder of how easy it is to dismiss potentially fatal signs. Hope things turn around for her!

Me too! I was on a roll and doing so well and then YESTERDAY hit. and today. perhaps tomorrow.....

Sometimes I read these threads and I wonder if it's a contest to see who's the biggest hard-nosed parent.
No kidding. All those "I told you so" moments will come back to bite you in the butt. I dislike my own mother greatly for being that parent.

You won't find much in the way of "boxed" that will fit your needs if he is high functioning. You will need to piece together. Download samples when you can to get a feel for things. Also start out cheap so you don't bury yourself in the need to use expensive stuff you really hate. This is a good place for language arts:http://www.growingwithgrammar.com/
simple and easy to use and you can look at the samples to see what he would need. For History you could just run through Story of the World with the activity book and for science maybe look at Elemental Science.

I do watch the Duggars (my dh calls them the Buggers) from time to time.
One of the sons is gay. I mean, obviously he hasn't come out. But, my gaydar just pings. He's feminine. Very. Jerimah? Jedidiah? One of the 14-16 year old boys. They don't show him on camera very often, I think because of this. When they do, he's doing something 'manly'.
As hard as it is for the girls in their designed and restrictive roles, I wonder what his life will be like. No option is good. Deny his nature? Deny his family? I know there is no middle ground there.
They do creep me out, but still I watch. Like a train wreck.
I think you are right about the one being gay. That will not float in that house for sure.
Jon and Kate? Loved that show purely for the entertainment of seeing jon get his ass kicked weekly. The story behind having the 6 is that she was told NOT to try on that cycle due to the number of babies they believed would be produced. She did anyway. He has no balls to tell her no and she is a media ho.

I didn't vote because I think talking about the square footage of your house or the numbers of zeros in your bank accounts is classless.
That said, I don't care how big your house is. I care about what kind of feeling your house exudes. You can have 10,000 square feet and make people feel clautrophobic because they can't wait to get out of there, or you can have 500 square feet and make people feel like they never want to leave because it's so warm and inviting in there.
FWIW, I think my house is a palace -- a palace of many small, truly Edwardian rooms! LOL! I have rooms I don't ever use! I think that is luxury with a dollop of bijoux whipped cream. I hope that people feel welcome and warm in it. I know my family and I do. Other people might think my house is a dinky little hole. That's fine. They don't live here. :tongue_smilie:
More so when the only time certain people post is on threads that involve monetary outlay and excess. Not about HS issues, or planning, or anything else for that matter.

I really like Phonics Road for the basic instruction but once he got the basic vowel teams and stuff down I am working more with McRuffy reading. Cheap and simple!
-
I look for anything under an 80 also and then go back over them. Sooooooo many times it is a stupid computation error but the process was there. I know how frustrating that is.
-
For real or are you just being funny? I don't open or read threads like that if I can help it. The solution is apparent but yet totally off limits to mention.
Funny but sadly it seems to be a trend. I find it hard to believe the Duggars are mocked for having so many kids when they can actually afford them and pay cash for stuff.

I would feel the same. As a matter of fact if one of my brothers were to die I would seriously have to be coerced to attend the funeral. I have not spoken to the one in over 3 years and I really don't care. We have nothing in common. The other one(his twin) is not my favorite person to spend time with. Really I think he is a pompous ass with all opinion and little mental capacity to back it up. Not my cup of tea.

New spin-off social board. The "I don't have money but my uterus works great" forum. Prayer will not help this people. Keep your priorities straight. Children are not magical gifts from a god. They happen when a sperm meets a happy egg. Easily preventable and not for those with monetary issues. Sorry the truth hurts.

A child could be below your line of sight and not be laying down behind the car. Said child may have bent down to tie a shoe lace, or catch a wayard ball, or is drawing with sidewalk chalk on the sidewalk below the driveway etc.
Yes I doubt a 6 year old should have to stand up and wave his arms to be noticed when he is coloring with chalk. WTH?

Mine is 10,000 sq feet and we are quite cramped. Can barely fit a troll in here-geesh
No really it is 4,000 but not the best usage of the space. Ultimately I would love the whole bottom floor to be just family room, kitchen, classroom, and office. Could do without a living room and dining room.
-
That should have been in the shape of a troll because there is for sure one flapping about right now. Hang on guys I will be right back after I run to the toilet and wipe with $20 bill. :glare:

Well poop is poop so I guess he is right ;-)

They fade. had 2 large ones left on my neck after removal and now they are very light marks that are hardly noticeable. Just keep out of the sun because they will get worse.

I really like the Core Knowledge "What Your preschooler Needs to Know" Activity Books (one is for ages 3-4 and one or 4-5) because they are open and go. They go along with the Core preschool book so you read a poem or story or science pages then in the activity book there are colored cut outs and stickers for the pages. So for example you read the poem about the old lady who swallowed a fly then there are cut outs of the animals and a picture of the woman.
Yes it is easy and if you want to do more just add extra books or workbook pages like I do. Simple and complete. I am doing 2 weeks at a time because we are behind since he is already 4.

It is not your fault. Please don't feel bad.
It is absolutely not your fault that she did that. How could it be?
But I understand that you feel terrible. And :grouphug: .
Exactly. Not your fault!

Personally I love teaching chemistry because it is the hard core, underlying proof that we are connected to everything. See that table sugar? See the dirt outside? We all have basic elements in common. How can we NOT be connected to the earth? I am actively working with my girls on witchery so that they can see, feel, and appreciate the world around them and feel the power it holds.

I have 2 stories on this. First son was face-up. 22 hours of labor and 2 pushing, close to a c-section but when he went into distress they literally pulled him out. After that there was no wall AT ALL between my..well the wall was completely gone. The next 3 were face down. Number 5 was face-up. Tear was not nearly as bad and the labor was short. * Note I have 2nd degree tears on all births. However I still have a recto-vaginal fistula(super small) that I am not addressing because I just don't feel like it.

Well, that used to be my go-to; if I nursed him in bed he would let me put him back in the crib. Unfortunately, I fell asleep with him in bed the last time I did that and... well, we call him "Flying Baby Monster" for a reason - he launched off the bed and onto the hardwood floor, fracturing his skull. I can't explain another incident with this very rambunctious, very mobile, baby to the doctor, lol. So now I'm sleeping on the floor with Flying Baby Monster in my older son's room.
My older son nursed until almost 3 as well, lol. I feel your pain.
:glare:
I can see that happening which is why there was a side rail on my side of the bed until they got bigger and then they were between DH and I. Seems most nights we still have a kid between us. :glare:

Oddly I would skip dissection simply because we did it in HS and I seriously never used the skill again or remembered a single thing about it. Even if I had to do it in college I never would have remembered because I was too grossed out to even gain anything from it. If your kids wants to then I would.

Sounds like a migraine and I often have what I call rebound pain. Excedrin is the only thing that does help and I think it is because of the thinning of the blood from the aspirin.
ETA: If it is still bad tomorrow take her in. Visual stimulation and noise really exaggerate it for me but I have never had a sore throat.
