:iagree: I love Mac ;)

:iagree: (We've seen that happen.) Yes, I am living proof of this :(

:crying: incredible, I empathize with you!

I also use the dinning room as my school room, that all changed in July when we put the house in the market. Apparently, potential buyers cannot envision the room as what is for, so we turned in back into a dinning room. I keep HS in there, but if I have a showing, I pick up the books put them in the armoire that is part of the dinning room, and VOILA...no problem.

Our have been in the Market since July, lots of showings, no negative comments except people wish the house had an extra room/den. We've done fixing here and there just to keep it maintain. There is so much in the market though, so many choices for the buyer, and that's bad for us SELLERS. Praying to St. Joseph;)

Absolutely not, you're not ALONE...it's hard, very hard, and very challenging. I honestly don't think I knew what I was getting into when I decided to HS. So, no, you're not alone at all ;)

:iagree: with lots of you, all I see and hear is everyone wanting to get a divorce, we have friends who at 15 or 18 years have called it quits. I wanted to get on the thread last week, but couldn't, got busy with my rugrats. It's so sad though, to hear people dissolved their marriages for no good reason other than is just not working out. They don't even want to make it work out...I don't know what to think anymore. My dh and I will celebrate our 15th year together in Dec. and honestly our toughest years were the beginning years, all the way til our 7th year. We also married in our late 20's, I don't think I'm missing anything at all, I tell my dh all the time that if something happened to him, I would enter a convent with daycare:lol:

I love them all:drool5: if it was up to me, that's all I would eat...

I was reading the rules for being able to sell books in the forum, and have a question: when they say you need to have 50 post to be able to post in the For Sale section, does that mean 50 post that one hast posted, or 50 post including post that one has replied to? Thanks

:iagree: I take the same thing and it helps lots!

My parents are miles away:sad: and so are my in laws :thumbdown: but if I had them in the same city, 1 or 2 hours during the week would be enough, considering homeschool. On the weekends, I honestly wouldn't mind if they spend more time, especially my in laws...I adore my MIL, and she or they (including my parents) would understand the time limit. Now, if I was done with school for the day...I wouldn't mind if they even stay for dinner:001_smile:

I did the same with DS, now in 6th grade, he has excel in so many ways, that I told my SIL I could tutor my niece. I know she will excel and get to love math, she's a bright girl :001_smile: Thanks for your comment

Yes, she's so lost, plus the PS uses a book, that to my opinion can get anyone lost...YES, YES, YES...as if the teacher was speaking a foreign language:001_huh:

I am going to start tutoring my niece in Math, who's in 6th grade and goes to PS. I tested her with Saxon Math placement test, and it indicated we should start in Saxon 5/4. Is this common? for a PS child to be behind in one or two grades in a subject? :confused: Any Suggestions?

Thanks to FMR, DS has decided to be a Gladiator :glare: I had to practically look all over the internet for the costume...

Wow! I have the same situation going on this year with DS. All these comments are helping me out as well :)

:thumbup: Congratulations!

:001_huh:

:grouphug: I PM you.

I have used it before, it relaxes you, but make one sleepy. I don't recommended for sleeping, it can actually cause the opposite. But, everyone is different, you may not have the same symptoms as I did. I have bought it here: http://www.vitaminshoppe.com/ BTW: I've heard the liquid form is the best, though more expensive.

:lol:

Your Mom, sounds like mine :lol: Take a few days, do not respond to her immediately, because one usually tends to answer with anger, and the wrong thing may come out. Mother's love to push our bottoms, they conceive us, therefore; they know how and what gets us upset. Ignoring, I have found it to be the best answer, you're not giving in to what she wants, which is a fight. Maybe you don't have to share everything you are going to do in your life with her. That's what I have done, and though is really freezes the mother/daughter relationship, I don't have to be thinking about answers to give her anymore. This is your life, you're a grown woman with children, husband etc... What you choose to do with your life, whether or not she agrees with it, is what it is, your life, your home, your family. She already did all that ;) Take a deep breath, and do what you think is best for your family. Hope this helps

They will keep seal for 24 hours, now if you're using them at home for storage, to save space, they eventually open after a while, do not keep sucked up like the commercial says they do. At least, that was my experience. But, I have done the trip thing, and it's great, especially for winter cloth.

I will pray, my situation is similar to yours so I sympathize a lot.

I have breakfast by myself, a good cup of "cafe con leche" :) then, get my husband for breakfast, talk a little bit. Wake up the rugrats :tongue_smilie: they have breakfast, NO TV for ds who's HS, only for my 3 year old. DS starts school, DH is off to work, I am off to the Treadmill...
