I like Henry, but how about Charlie, Stanley, Edward, William?

I would keep both. Use the hook for pizza doughs, etc. that won't bake directly in your bread machine.

Thank you!

I vacuum at least once a week and keep what I think is a very clean house, despite 3 little ones running wild... but the other day my vacuum just didn't seem to be doing it's job and had been on the decline it seemed for a few weeks. I did investigating and found a chamber with about 30 mini cylinders that hadn't been cleaned since we bought it over a year ago. Yeah, after wiping off the layer of dirt on top, I read "Clean Every 3 Months". Ummm... burst my "I'm so clean" bubble. LOL.

Yes, bittersweet. I'm sorry. Praise God for Matthew's homecoming though!

Interesting. There's some areas I can "let go" for awhile, or during winter, LOL.

My son is just 6 and he has been doing this for a year or so.

Praying for that sweet little life growing inside of you. I've been there before and I know how scary and sad it can be. HUGS

Praying for you, Rose. That God would comfort you, give you rest, give you peace, and then equip you to move forward. Hang in there.

I wondered the same and just assumed that it was either coaches or some hard-core fans ;)

Yes, yes, yes. We started our second year (1st grade) this past week. It was a rough first day back and I started panicking and doubting my abilities. I wonder what he might be missing with friendships, fun outside of home, etc. But I just have to lean on God those day and remember the reasons we chose to go this route instead... the relationship building, the ability to teach the values and beliefs we have and how they are linked to all of the subjects, etc. And in all reality, I would miss my little guy if he were gone every day. I think for me that having a loud and energetic 3-year-old and a 3 month old with special care needs just adds to it, but I know it won't always be like this. hang in there, Momma!

Poor guy. I always wonder my little ones are dreaming about when they scream out random things. Never a dull moment!

That drives me nuts. We finally just leave our home phone unplugged, but then cell #'s were released and I get them on there now. I've learned to just not answer it unless I recognize the #. I figure if they really need to talk to me they will either leave a message or call back. Just annoying though! Really.

I think it's a classic and not overly used. I really don't think many people will pronounce it wrong. I think you're safe. Go with it if you like it!

Really? That's nuts. I think you're better off not having to deal with her at all. Wow. You offered to buy it, you didn't HAVE to. Yikes.
