My favorite two episodes were just easy-going family days. One was Valentines Day where Kate did a bunch of special, fun stuff for the kids. Jon went to the mall at the last minute to get Kate a thoughtful gift. It was a really sweet episode.
The other showed them going to church, then on a picnic and to the playground. Afterward, they had 'ice cream for dinner.'. When they got home, the kids went straight to bed.
The kids are cute enough that they can show day-to-day life and people will watch. The above episodes also gave me ideas for stuff to do with my own dc and dh.

None.
You spoke out of fear and frustration. Just explain to your son why you said what you did. Bio dad is living a miserable life due to his inclinations, you want a happier, fulfilling future for your son. Being a lazy person will only bring misery.
:iagree:

PTL! I will continue to pray, and please keep us updated when you can. :grouphug:

I'm in North Alabama. Not sure who else is close, but I'm sure there are several.

I just can't watch anymore. It is too sad, IMO.

Good for you for holding your temper! I think you are handling it well.
I will pray for this situation, and B and her family, too.
And I agree that you should still be diligent, which it sounds like you will be!

I only have experience with OPG. It is all laid out in a very simple way, IMO. There aren't a lot of bells and whistles. Lessons are scripted, but you don't have to follow them. I write the words/sentences on a whiteboard for DS5, and we supplement with readers. HTH!

:lol: I guess I won't be getting a lot done, then!
Good for you, though!

DH and I are getting a new mattress, because we're boring like that. :wink:
DS5 and DS3 will get books and craft supplies. Beyond that, I don't know... I have no idea what to get DD, who will be 9 months. Everyone is going to be asking me for ideas for all three, and I never know what to tell them!
I do always buy PJs for them to open Christmas Eve and wear.

Rainbow Resources sells several large calendars for calendar time. I made one myself, but I do not recommend that. It took forever! :lol:
I would just talk about what month it is, what day of the month it is, and what day of the week it is. Then you could even discuss weather conditions.

Sounds like she's got a fun year ahead of her! Good job!

Try sitting in the warmest water you can stand. Also, I will sometimes sit on ice packs. Both provide some measure of pain relief. Staying off your feet as much as you can, and laying down helps, although I know that's not usually doable for us moms. :grouphug: I hope you feel better soon!

Good for her!!! :lol:

Prayers said and :grouphug:

I told my dh about this and he asked, "What possible agenda could FB have against homeschoolers?"
Tara
Yes, that was my thought as well. What could FB gain from deleting home schoolers? Why would they care?

Keep the dog.
You weren't silly to post this because you are a good, caring person who wants to do the right thing.
Sometimes the "rule" of law just doesn't apply. If you were to return the dog - and the dog was killed through starvation or by being hit by a car - you would be devastated.
This isn't a lost backpack or a misplaced television - this is a suffering soul.
:grouphug:
:iagree: Bless you for getting the sweet doggie out of this bad situation.

I once received an email that was worded much like that post. The nice thing about it, though was that I ended up winning a foreign lottery. :D
:lol: I am so glad I am not the only one who didn't understand...I was feeling a little dumb.
I can't really comment on hazing. I have never been cool, and I was never close to being cool, so I can't begin to understand why people want to act the way they do. It makes me sad, though.
-
:grouphug: and prayers said.

This is likely to be long and very scattered, so thanks in advance for sticking with me! :)
DS5 has been developing an itchy rash since Thursday morning. The spots look like mosquito bites that are very swollen. They appear on his entire body, except his lower legs/feet. They are less numerous from his neck up.
The pattern is: the spots appear, and he begins to itch. I slather him in Calamine lotion and give him a dose of Benadryl. He gets better, and the spots basically go away. In six hours (when meds wear off), it starts up again.
As you can imagine, we are trying to figure out what he's come in contact with. The only thing I can think of is some new kids soap we bought. He used it on Wednesday afternoon, but not since. His last flare up was this morning after meds wore off.
He doesn't have any known allergies.
So any ideas?

Food for thought...
Even so, the prophet Isaiah says God will include animals in the new heavens and new earth: "The wolf and the lamb will feed together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox, but dust will be the serpent’s food. They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, says the LORD." (Isaiah 65: 25, NIV)
Just thought I would throw that out there! :D
Yes! I love this verse and think of it often! :smile:

I think Nakia's issue had more to do with the fact that B wasn't respecting boundaries, not that she liked her dd. For example, she told her not to walk off with her dd, but she continued to do so.
I agree that it's sad when people with disabilities get treated poorly, but in this case, there needs to be some boundaries set.
:grouphug: to you and you dd. I'm sorry people are mean to her.

We got a Rainbow Bridge card, too, when our dog died. It is such a sweet concept.
Not to start a theological debate, but it doesn't explicitly say in the Bible that dogs won't be in Heaven, so your DD's friend really had no reason to say that.
:grouphug:

No additional advice here. I just wanted to offer some more support. You are in the right in this situation, IMO. Be kind, but be firm!

What a sweet puppy! I hope she'll be a good (and safe) companion for him.

:bigear: We spend the majority of our eating out money on the weekend. It's either that or frozen pizzas, I'm not sure which is worse. :eek:
I will say that it could be a good idea to fire up the crock-pot first thing Saturday morning.
