  1. I hate my house. I married someone who works construction, so buying a fixer upper, even if we would only slowly be able to afford fixing it, made sense. Now that we're separated, living in a fixer upper is a nightmare.

    Still married to mine and the house is rotting and falling a part!! I am telling my children - nothing but "turn key" even if small.

  2. Around here, other than math, there doesn't seem to be textbooks given out. In talking with other students in different grades, it is either handouts done in class or lecture type teaching. I have found that the current AP level is more like what our old PS system was like when I was in school. Last year our neighbor boy, who is like my adopted son, came over and was very excited that he had finished Geometry and was moving on to Pre-Calc. I said, it was only half way through the year and he told me that he did math 5 days a week instead of 3 - allowing him to finish Geometry in one semester.

  3. We have a Labordoodle - she is wonderful!!! I was NEVER a person who liked dogs in general until my daughter became a "host home" for a friend of ours. Now that has changed - my 50th birthday wish list included "my very own doodle"!! Her temperament is mellow, doesn't shed, very faithful, protective, friendly . . . . . . .

  4. How does one define physical stress?  My daughter was diagnosed a few years ago with Hoshimoto and food intolerance.  She has been feeling sick/unhealthy since then.  It got worse last year then found out she had deficiencies in C, D, B, iron, folate, etc.  The thyroid med she had been on turned out to have traces of gluten in it.  Iron levels are somewhat stable and so are thyroid numbers.  During all of this she started exhibiting episodes of involuntary muscle movement.  EEG and MRI are normal.  She shows no outward signs of being stressed but wondering now about physical stress?  She has also battled sleep issues since all of this started.  Ugh - need to help her figure things out.

  5. My son 11 at the time when he was diagnosed.  We are just about to begin classes in helping him deal with his diabetes.  He was doing well the first year, but going through puberty is throwing a wrench into his stability.  He went on a pump last October which stabilized him a lot.  Before, he was sensitive to the Lantos which caused a lot of problems for him.  I have heard there are books out there for younger children, but he never showed interest in reading anything.  As for an app, we looked into options, but never found anything.  We considered a camp this summer, but decided to hold off another year until we get the issues we are dealing with worked through.  He does still do sports and everything else.  We have been truly blessed by our doctors and support.
