:lol: I'd tell her, "Great! I have so much to do around the house today. What would you like to help me with first?" I am always wishing I could bottle my kids energy. I'd be rich!

I can't think of any situation where this behavior would be appropriate.
:iagree:
Inappropriate for a man of any occupation or any age to do to anyone. I am confused as to why anyone would think otherwise. :confused:

Thanks for posting this! I would have appreciated an email from Netflix. :glare:
Anyway, we will probably keep it because we don't have many alternatives for movies.

Joanne - I bookmarked your site and need to pour over it later when I have the time. I love the simplicity of it - so many parents need to get off their butts and actively parent their children. I'm talking to myself here! THANK YOU! :)

I agree that it is difficult to make friends. One suggestion I had for you is to get your girls involved in something they enjoy (soccer, basketball, gymnastics, ballet, swimming, art classes, music classes, etc) and maybe they will make friends closer to their own ages and with similar interests.
Also, my kids have been in the situation you described with "mean kids" (for lack of a better term) before and what I have done is to sit them down and talk about how true friends act together. True friends do not say or do mean things to each other. As they have grown older, they are now able to distinguish between true friends and acquaintances. And they understand how they are supposed to act to be a true friend to others. Of course, they are to be kind to everyone, but they do not have to keep purposely socializing with kids that are mean to them.
Hang in there! :)

Oh. My. :glare:

To see the defense all congratulating themselves make me sick.

Waiting here with bated breath....
Can someone give the link to CNN live?

If anyone wants to watch it live, CNN's live feed will have it (on their website). I have it all ready to go.

I don't necessarily find it difficult so much as I find it tiresome. I know how to put myself out there and I know where to go to meet people. It just wears me out. I'm an introverty.
This is me, too. We moved to a city last fall. I have no friends here and neither do my kids. It's just hard for me to make friends and sometimes I feel it's not worth the effort. I hope to get the kids involved in community sports this fall and perhaps I will meet a fellow mom there.

Great job!! Looks yummy!

I remember in college, probably 1995/96 or so and using it to look up grad schools. I also communicated via email then, though in very limited form. We did not get home internet until 1997/98 or so. And we, too, had dial-up and AOL.

If it's rinsed well, the coffee pot should be no different than the coffee mugs, which I would hope would be washed with soap.

We are probably about that close to the tracks. I don't even notice it anymore. It doesn't bother anyone else in our house, either.

I hear ya. I avoid looking at the screen if it comes on the news. I don't want to read about it or see it. It actually makes me sick to my stomach. :ack2:

My son is getting more independent of which I am very glad! Last year, I wrote down his assignments in a Student Planner. I did this every Sunday. He liked seeing his school work laid out for the week and even sometimes worked ahead so he could finish early. This year, I would like to give him the opportunity to schedule out his assignments to help him learn how to budget his time (which he is NOT very good at right now). I am trying to figure out the best way to do this. Last year, when I wrote the assignments in his planner each week, I had it in my head what needed to be done next. This time, I am thinking I will need to have lesson plans written first, that I could then somehow transfer to a weekly sheet and give to him (so that he can schedule his assignments for the week). Before I try to reinvent the wheel, does anyone have a link or suggestions to help? Pictures of your system or blog describing how it is done??
Thank you,
Kim
I am in the same boat with my rising 7th grader. What I am doing is I'm making a syllabus of sorts for each subject and then there are some assignments that he has to complete on his own with certain due dates, things like projects and papers. I am hoping this will gradually get him learning how to manage assignments on his own.

Thanks!! This is timely for us, since I want the kids to brush up on their facts, but I know they will balk at "school" during their summer vacation. :001_smile:

I believe the government has regulated ceiling fans so that you will not find what you are looking for.

I think one could easily write an article saying that all homeschoolers are whacked and cite 18 extreme examples to corroborate such a hypothesis. It's a biased article and I disagree with the premise.

Anyway, I decided to add a whole new subject to our curriculum: Career Studies. I sat down with the two oldest kids and had them pick out projects, models, curriculum, etc that they wanted to work thru this year.
That is awesome!! :thumbup1:

My phone makes a sound when I get an email, but I turn it way down at night and it is downstairs on the charger, so we don't hear it.
I think it's up to the phone owner to make their settings appropriate to their situation, so I would not change my email habits in this instance.

I got it at a garage sale for $1. It still has a plastic piece off the tag on it and looks brand new. Any idea how much I could try and sell it for? I would keep it, but I prefer a crossbody bag.
What does the bolded mean? Can you post a pic? If you do, we might be able to tell you if it's fake.
Coach is my weakness. :blush:

Here in New England, summers are fairly mild and pleasant(comparative to TX, lol). We usually have a couple days here and there, sometimes several in a row, that are humid and 80s or 90s. But we have very few summer days where my kids couldn't play outside because of the heat.
And since we're currently living in a city, we have no bugs! In the country, though, the black flies and mosquitoes will drive you batty.
