  1. My dd is 16 and this has been an issue for a long time. We ruled out health related issues with blood tests etc. You could do the sleep study. As for my dd, she is a night owl and always has been. From the time she was very young, she came to life at night. I read one time that it has to do with the time of your birth but who knows. My dd needs more exercise, but like yours she is also very thin too. I think that daily walking etc. is good but hard exercise is not if they are too thin to start with. If we let her, our dd would stay up til 2a.m. every night. But we don't. So she is in bed by 11 p.m. and then lays there. At least her body is getting rest. If we let her stay up, she would sleep until noon. As it is, I wake her up by 9:30. I figure that once she starts at the Community college and she has to get up at a specific time then eventually her sleep schedule will work out better. Mine does get cranky the later she goes to bed especially if it is several nights in a row. And she complains about not being able to concentrate which I think is due to lack of sleep. But mine also goes non stop all day. She is just a busy bee. I think she has always had a high metabolism. I'm sorry that I can not be of much help. We have not given her anything to help her sleep. I have tried meditation and relaxation. I even made a relaxation tape for her. That seemed to help some. Also, this sounds silly but where is her bed in relation to lights from a hallway etc. I'll be watching this thread for ideas myself. ha Thanks, Amber
  2. My daughter got a dozen roses she would like to dry. I have hung them up before but quite honestly they are not pretty. Have you tried any preserving techniques that actually keep them half way pretty? Thanks, AMber
  3. Age does not bother me as much as seeing someone running for president starting to look low and slow and that's with the running not even being president yet. No matter how young they are when they go in.....they look like they've aged really bad by the time they leave. Yes it bothers me that McCain is the age he is. And, Obama also bothers me and that has nothing to do with his age. I can't feel good about either one of them much less do I feel positive about what they will do when they get in to office. I do not feel that either of them have even made the traditional political promises as of yet as to what they are going to do. This is scary to me. We've had 8 years to find a strong president......I just don't see it with either. Amber
  4. Thanks! I rested......well at least my body......I'm still thinking science and can't go to sleep (lol) and had a big piece of dark chocolate. (feeling better now) lololol Amber
  5. After teaching little ds (7) for 3 hours I feel like I could go to bed and sleep until tomorrow. lol Do you feel that way too? My brain feels like mush and my eyes hurt. He reads awesome but it's the explaining that drains me I think. So if you feel that way....what do you do? coffee? chocolate? sleep? lol Thanks, AMber
  6. I can't believe it. I was warming a burrito in the microwave and set it for the wrong amount of time. It smoked so badly, we've all been outside most of the day. How do I get rid of the smell in the microwave and the stain?????? Any ideas? thanks, AMber
  7. These are such cute ideas. Sounds like you all had or will have a really fun first day of school. Thanks!
  8. Thanks to all of your great ideas, last year we had a special breakfast (I think cinammon rolls etc.) then I had a special sack of goodies by each of dc plates with fun little school trinkets (cute pencils, small photo album, etc.) We took pictures etc. What are you going to do? Have fun, Amber
  9. I feel really badly for these children and the poor woman that was murdered but THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HOMESCHOOL. The attorney that said homeschooling prevents them from finding out about horrific crimes has a problem with homeschool in general and put the blame on it versus the system and family. Where was the family??? Where was the wifes family? Where were her friends etc. Did they all go to what they thought was her funeral 4 years ago. This is not homeschooling. This is probably many, many people who had concerns but did come forward probably because he was a minister. How many horrific crimes have you read about and in the article it said.....the kids were public schooled???????? It just does not happen that way. While I am saddened but this horrible crime, this has nothing to do with homeschooling. Just my 2 cents, Amber
  10. Thank you all of you. I was just curious. Ellie, you and I are about the same age. I grew up with Leave it to Beaver and the Brady Bunch. lol Thanks, Amber
  11. Hi Janice, That's a cute idea. I bet my 2nd grader would like that. You are right, about the older but wouldn't it be fun to get real excited and tell them about it just to see their reaction. lol AMber
