What I hate is when they put toys in a happy meal that come from movies generally not appropriate for young children. Can't think of any off the top of my head right now, but I know it has happened.
Yes!! This is a pet peeve of mine, even in the stores. They put out all sorts of merchandise (I'm thinking Dark Knight, Iron Man, etc.) that my boys love, but then the movies are not appropriate to watch at their ages (esp. the youngest).
-
Yes, I would definitely complain. And I would not be happy.
-
We collected the Finding Nemo toys when they came out. We still have Nemo, Squirt, and Pearl.

Sometimes I wish I didn't have to be so anonymous, as I think it would help me to be more accepted here if I could use my real name, names of my kids, etc. But I really feel like I need to be careful online, so I don't. I don't have a blog either. I am on Facebook, but I have everything set privately.
Anyway, I am real and have real kids. I am NOT Princess Peach, though, IRL. Sorry if I've deceived anyone. :tongue_smilie: :D

:hurray:
I am still waiting here...it still says "processing".

Ok, who else has that episode of Seinfeld in their head now. The one where the waitress at the coffee shop points at the menu with her middle finger and George gets all upset! :lol:

Well, my DH is a ps teacher and he is very supportive of hs'ing. :tongue_smilie:
But, seriously, yes, I have gotten comments from administrators, other teachers, spec ed teachers, etc, that have been very supportive. His dept head told him just the other day how he thinks it's great that I can stay home and teach the kids. He also acknowledged how much work it must be.
However, I do not think it reflects badly on the ps system in our area. Our schools are very good. We are actually contemplating sending our dc to high school here. I think it's just the climate of our area, perhaps. There are lots of hs'ers here and in our city people are celebrated for being a little outside the box.

As soon as it happens ;)
I try to discourage pointing in general, as most kids struggle with remembering not to point at people. It's easier for them to just not be in the habit of pointing.
:iagree:

I get up at 5am and go to the gym.
I come home, shower, get dressed.
Then, breakfast/coffee (kids are up at this point. They get their own breakfast/get dressed/brush teeth).
Do up breakfast dishes.
By 7:30, we each do our personal devotions.
We start school at 8am.
I go to bed between 9-10pm.

English may be a 2nd language for them.
There is a nursery near me that is called "New Beginings Garden Center". They have a beautiful sign out front with the misspelling and they actually registered a business like that. It grates on me every time I drive by.
-
I will not do upper level math. I buy TT for this reason and gladly plunk down $185. It. Is. So. Worth. It.
-
I work out at the gym every day at 5am so I can be back before DH leaves for work. It makes a huge difference for me.
I also have the kids in bed by 8pm every night.
Occasionally I will tell them I need to relax for a half hour and to leave me alone. Most times that works now that they are getting older.

We used the Tan and Yellow last year for my older DS and DD, respectively. IMO, it was too gentle. They need a more rigorous LA curriculum because they are both weak in that area.
-
We follow the local school schedule, with the exception of teacher in-service days. Those days the ps students have off, but we still do school. DH is a teacher.
-
If it's from all of us, I write first names: DH, Me, DS, DD, DS. If it's just from me, I just write my first name.
-
So kilts are out, then?
<pout>
-
Wonderful! Congrats to you and your DD!!
-
I finished organizing for an entire year of school. Feels good to have that done.
I went to the chiropractor 2x.
I cleaned the entire house so when we go away this w/e, we'll come home to a clean house.

I was a bookworm! I was at the library all the time as a kid. We had library class 1x/week in elementary. I read so many books that by 6th grade I couldn't find any that I hadn't read! I would ride my bike down to the town library at least once per week. My mom would tell me to go play outside and I'd take my book outside and read. :)
We go 1x per week now, too. We have moved a lot and one of the first things we do is get a library card. Love the library!!
-
DH and I got married with the expectation that we would grow old together. We knew we wouldn't be 24 forever!
That said, we both go to the gym regularly and keep ourselves up, so to speak. We do it both for health and appearance reasons. He looks better than he did when we got married and he says I do too. I think the key is communication and going in the same direction together.
-
I have never done 10+ hours by myself with the kids. The longest has been 7 hours.

I couldn't care less what their 'policy' says. As far as I'm concerned, once I buy the book, I own it, and I'll do what I want with it. That's so low on my radar when it comes to "morality issues" that there's just no way I'd lose sleep over that. I'd worry more about the ridiculous waste of paper/resources they are apparently expecting than whether I could help them make extra money at the expense of such wastefulness. Not that I use Calvert or ever would to begin with. :D
:iagree: And I did buy a used WP guide and felt fine about it. I couldn't resell it though because I spilled coffee on it, lol.
-
Yep, they have always shipped super fast for me! :)

I use my ipod dock. It is a nice one and it has really nice sound.
