will probably use more as he gets older but now he uses it a lot for his computer programming tricks and video gaming "hacks".....

usually PJs or shorts/yoga pants.....

ha ha ha dh would freak at just the thought of 4 LOL......Well I thought I had talked myself out of it thinking of all the negatives that could occur--what if it's sick with something harder/more expensive to treat than fleas......what if......even told dh that..but something nagged at me about it all day......so if she is still there Saturday morning,I'm trucking out there and picking her up and taking her to our vet.....getting her checked to see if she's micro chipped.....then doing the basic illness exam.....have even thought of names...Yea I'm excited.....LOL I told dh it was going to be even more of a madhouse around here......I feel better though now that I've made my mind up/listened to my heart.....

and definitely get back in touch with her early enough so she can plan for something else......

crockpot chicken over rice with a "gravy-ish" sauce.....I take chicken tenderloins and put in crockpot with grated garlic and sliced onions-salt/pepper-I add in hot water and herblox chicken cubes and let it cook till chicken is done-I cook boil in bag rice and serve the chicken over the rice...made it 2xs this week already......yummy

oh man.....I can relate to a little of that....but I have to say my dh will do the dishes and laundry (sometimes without me asking)......lately he has been leaving his bottles and coffee cups everywhere and that drives me nutz! no ideas at how to get yours to be neater.....good luck....

my kiddo has some of those same issues--freaks if I tell him there's a time limit.....hates repetition... we tried the medication route and to make a long story short got tired of trying different meds and kiddo freaked out at having to swallow a pill and thinking he would choke so that became another issue for us..am going to try some omega 3 and fish oil supplements and see if I can see any benefits for him..hang in there it is hard

That would be my issue too....what happens after 2nd grade???? tough decision......hope you find the answers you need when the time comes.....

no regrets......I might do things differently meaning how I taught something or what books we used but no I don't regret it......agree with the posters that say how tough it can be at times.....sheesh I have my "I'm going to pull my hair out" moments,but that comes with raising kids too not just teaching them......hang in there---take a break if you need it----and don't feel guilty about it.....we all need to recharge and regroup sometimes...... :)

I have 2 min pin girls (Tinkerbelle 4yrs and JezzaBelle 1 1/2) that are totally rotten and spoiled and we love them to death. If we could have a whole house full of them we would LOL.....Last year I had talked myself into looking into rescue dogs and see if there was any min pins that needed homes-and we couldn't find any close enough to be realistic....This year I joined a missing/lost dog group on FB...A girl posted that a pic that showed a little min pin girl that showed up at her house all wet and pitiful looking......DH and I kind of chatted about it this morning a little...The pup is still at the girl's house and acts friendly towards her and the kids and their cat.....I am thinking if the dog is still there in a day or so we might take it in.....I'm just worried if it's sick or something....I would definitely take to the vet and have it checked out before I brought it to my home......And to see if she's micro-chipped.....I know--I'm gonna be the crazy old lady with all the little min pin dogs LOL......

I haven't read the ones we found on Amazon either and I'm sure my kiddo would tell me if there was any "bad" words......so far he's only found bad grammar in some LOL.....glad to know that my kiddo's not the only obsessed minecrafter.......he eats/sleeps/everything minecraft

GOOD GRIEF!!! naked in public ugh NO unless it's one of those nudist places......that would freak both dh and me out.....

yep I can sooooo relate

love it as in is passionate about it----ugh NO.....Hubby loves planes and enjoys being outside (in nice weather) but hates all the BS he has to go through sometimes....he works on the flight line at a navy base-he services the planes and does other things (you've seen the guys waving their hands telling the plane where to go-that's what he does)......it pays extremely well for where we live.....he's been there over 20 years.....

oh my what a situation......is there any way you can go to another room where the bat can't get to??? LOL you will definitely have to share how the story ends....((HUGS)) I wouldn't like a bat in my house either

awesome-I will look at that-never heard of it.....THANKS!

my ds has certainly gotten better about it the older he gets (he's now 11).....but oh boy I can relate.....I think kids need to be allowed to have emotions but not to put those emotions into hurtful actions.....if that makes any sense...I picked up a couple of books from amazon about the issue (I'm not bad I'm just mad-can't remember the other ones).....I try to get him to stop what he's doing and to take a break.....take a walk outside---take deep breaths----talk about what's upsetting him.....I've noticed lately that he will come back and apologize for the outburst and for whatever he said in anger.......if it's really stressing him out and he just can't manage on his own,I've given him homeopathic relaxing help (child relief calm---rescue remedies)..... In the past I've tried a punching bag in the backyard and that worked until he tore it up and pulled the stuffing out of it.....

I've been trying to find something to get my son back into reading--ANYTHING lol (within reason-and of course appropriate)...For Christmas,I got him the book about the guy who invented minecraft and flipping through it and reading a few pages is as much book reading I have gotten him to do in a long time.....While I was looking around on my kindle the other day,I noticed minecraft stories---"novellas" about stories from/about minecraft.....I downloaded a few and let my son start one last night--I had to make him put it down and go to bed.....It's funny,he was correcting their grammar and changing things around.....Maybe I can get him interested in writing his own minecraft scenario stories.....HMMMMM

my ds plays xbox and minecraft online---would always welcome a new "buddy"---he's an aspie too.....

:)

you could always text her and say something like is it convenient for me to call you now? or text me when it's convenient for me to call you......

my son has his own and talks about making new ones all the time.....asks if I will let him get a paid server so more of his online friends can play all together but we haven't gone that far yet.....

have laundry to finish up--want to de-clutter and clean up the living room and bedrooms.....how much actually gets done depends on if hubby has to go to work today (snow in MS)......we'll see

goodness.....happened to me and ds when he was a baby... crafting room while dh was taking fil out of town for a dr apt-took me forever but I got the door handle off and got baby and myself out.....((HUGS))

breakfast-check meds-check chill in between chores get hubby to put plastic insulation on windows get hubby to finish putting up trampoline for ds laundry clean bathroom sew touch up kiddo's haircut
