    Wrote up my most recent birth story, because it was a doozy: http://www.sheknows.com/parenting/articles/1130011/i-delivered-my-own-baby-in-car

      We decontaminated it and still drive it, hee. We'll probably upgrade when the baby gets into a bigger convertible seat.

    Hey, guys, I took a forum break and then came back. I just can't quit y'all, I guess.

    Ds19 is bringing his gf home tonight for the first time. Ds12 just walked into the livingroom and said, "The guest bathroom hasn't been this clean since the war!"

    A library, a hot wheels factory, a preschool, and art store barfed in here! I wouldn't recomend walking around in the dark.

      Haha, sounds like my house, if you throw in a variety of half-gnawed apple slices. Hee.

    Watching the full lunar eclipse with my family. Shooting star, Orion Nebula, Pleiades. Oh, what a beautiful start to the day!

      Sounds terrific. (Do you guys have a home telescope? If yes, which model?)

    Has anyone ever been to Deutsch Country Days in Missouri? Good for kids?

    Kiddos new favorite snack, tinned sardines. The smell is...strong.

    1. kubiac

      kubiac

      Love these (omega-3 fatty acids! calcium! protein!) but yes, I sequester the used tins in their own plastic bag, take that to the outside trash and then scrub down everything they touched!

    My 14 year old cooked dinner tonight for the first time. Now to teach him how to wash dishes. :))

      That is AWESOME. Congrats to both of you on a very cool parent-child-growth milestone

    Watching Blackfish. I'll never go to Seaworld again.

    1. kubiac

      kubiac

      Yup. No more circuses with animals (since 1999 for me) and now no more Seaworld. And I'm starting to have some concerns about the zoo. Sigh.

    Apparently there's been a pre-K/K forum here since January! I can't believe I didn't see that before. Off to read 10 mos of threads!

      In my own defense, it opened two days after I had my baby!

      Please pack all your little enemies into a box and ship to me in California. I love 'em and will crack 'em open by driving over them with my car. :)

    I will no longer buy used books from amazon. I am sick of the misrepresentation of the condition of books.

    1. kubiac

      kubiac

      * Ask for refunds in all these cases. You will almost certainly get them. Sellers need to protect their feedback and Amazon ratings.

      * If your dirty book has glossy covers, don't be shy about using a spray cleaner like 409 and a rag. Wiping down books can make a HUGE difference. Slime, grit and sticker residue can be removed with Goo Gone or Goof Off.

    I am putting coins on completed math problems. Yes, that's right, I'm paying him for his work and stealing the joy of accomplishment. It's working out great!

      Don't panic. It's only dangerous if it's (a) actually infected with a pathogen, and (b) your immune system can't combat the infection. Chances are, it won't even be a blip and you'll be great.
