I don't know alot about this, but my friend is self-employed and she goign through the same thing. She checked through the chamber of comerce in our area and wasn't eligible because she didn't have any employees, but if she had, it was a really good option. AARP has insurance too, I think, but I don't know if any of you are THAT old :D.
Hugs, Cindy

We had 2 of each and the males tended to be more docile. Our female cats were more persnickity and more likely to be mean. Not really aggressive but just not nice. Our male cats were so loveable it was disgusting, really, you would be COVERED with their hair by the time they were done rubbing all over you.
Our expereince with dogs has been just the opposite.

I have a BS in Elementary Education (very aptly named). Would love to go back for a Master's Degree if I could A) afford it and B) find one that is entirely coursework and no research/thesis stuff.
DH, on the other hand has an Associate's Degree in Electrical Engineering Technology and is doing quite well supporting us working as a systems architect. Go Figure :D

There are so many reasons. DH and I both had a HORRIBLE public school experience. We were at the bottom of the food chain:rolleyes: and we are both happy, well-adjusted, successful adults. We could have skipped that time all together and been who we are (maybe better) and not have the HORRIBLE memories. We waited 12 years for our 1st daughter. We were NOT ready to turn her over to someone else just 4 yrs later. She is SMART. She started reading the BOB books to me at just 3 1/2. How bored would she be at age 6, in Kindergarten? She probably has ADD, and if bored, would get into trouble. While I think she could be strong in her faith growing up in the public schools, I know that it can cause some doubt, ambivalence, and temptation to stray. I can ground her firmly in our family's belief system so that when she is an adult, she will not have all that other garbage in her head.

We have a pool so our summer centers around time to swim :) We will continue reading and math, adn I'm thinking about zooming through a 2nd grade health text so that won't take up any 'REAL' school time.

It sounds like your girl's mouths are pretty small. Are the extractions he's talking about for some of the adult teeth once they are in? My dd6's permanent teeth are coming in behind her baby teeth. I call her a shark! Once her baby teeth came out her permanent teeth moved up to the front of her mouth on their own.
I'm not sure, I think some of the baby teeth will have to be extracted, and several of the permanent teeth. The girls are both from Southern Asia, and he said that the small mouth is common in that area. If they still lived there, the hygiene is such that eventually a few teeth would fall/rot out and there would be room for everything. >sigh<
She will be put to sleep for the extractions. SHe is a very skittish, fearful child, and since there will be several teeth each time, DH and I think that will be the best thing.
Thanks for your encouragement, I really appreciate.

Took my girls to the dentist this morning. OH MY is close to what went through my head (well, after I saw $$$$$$). DD6's permanent teeth will probably come in behind her baby teeth. Her baby teeth are wedged together pretty tight, in a v-shape. He said that in about 12 mos, we will be going to see an orthodontist so he can tell us WHICH teeth will need to be pulled. THEN we will be off to the oral surgeon for extractions. The dentist said it will probably be *3* extraction visits.
After that, he looked in dd3's mouth. He looked at me with a big grin and said, I see more of the same in her mouth....and to think...I was worried about BRACES!!!!!
On the bright side, the dentist and the oral surgeon we will be using are both homeschool dads. :rolleyes:

All I can say is I am SOOO dreading this talk because for us, it opens a whole 'nuther can of worms...My 2 are adopted...Why did I grow in someone else's belly? Why do some mommies keep their babies? And the list goes on.....

I bought all of my crueset at Homegoods and TJ Maxx. Oh, I also bought a couple of pieces from amazon. I *LOVE* it!!!!!!!! I want to get a couple of more smaller pots, but am waiting and watching for a good deal.

Rise, teach, cook, clean, restless sleep.

Doran, I am so sorry about your dd. On a side note, as I sat down, I was thinking 'I am so glad the kids are in bed, I have said more swear words in the past half hour than I have this whole month. Then I see your post, swear, swear and double swear :D Mines just going through the 6 yr old pms type of thing. Saying a prayer for you and her...

My dd, 6 is an excellent speller so we dropped it and started wordly wise. To make it fun for her, I give her a test on Fridays.

Lisa,
Thank You!!! I didn't even think of that, and I do make alot of things from scratch because of his food sensitivites. I'll do that. And this makes enough that I don't have to make it EVERY time I want some. MY kind of recipe :D

I do not wear perfume or even deodarant...:( because of his allergies to them. I did find a deodarant I can wear but I can't find them anywhere. It was a sample that was sent to me via mail. My local stores do not even carry them so I shower every day!! ha ha
Holly
I wear Sure unscented and I don't have any problems with it. I can't even smell it.

Could you please tell me if it has MSG in it? I cannot find any instant onion soup without it. DH has adverse reaction to MSG so I cannot fix some of our favorite recipes. He and I both thought campbell's was ok, but now I cannot find it in any of our stores. I have no problems ordering it if I can be sure that it is safe.
THANK YOU!!!!!

When I got married I specifically told the bridesmaids to not wear any perfumes because of my father. I have the same problem. I can barely walk through the perfume/makeup department. I have been known to move at church if necessary.
If he does not want to make a scene, how about you & DH go in 5 minutes after the service starts and sit away from anyone, or sit in an area that is known to be unpopulated. In addition, you could casually mention to your friends the problem your DH has. You coul dmention it in a non-accusatory way, just something like you found this perfume that you love, but DH is deathly allergic to perfumes so you can't wear it....Some people are SO not aware of those things.
If someone is really bad with it there's always my favorite line....Nice perfume, must you BATHE in it??? :D

Good straight pins, my rotary cutter and mat, and good sharpened scissors. And my drawer FULL of thread :D

I have a very warped daughter. She loves doing 3 pages in her math book every day. :rolleyes: She also loves spelling tests and is really disappointed that we are now doing wordly wise instead of me wracking my brain to find words that she canNOT spell. I may start giving her a vocab test every Friday. She'll love that. This is the same child who, after hearing DH tease me about giving my 4 yo a spelling test, (I was just working with her to listen to the sounds, so she could write down the words she could already read) insisted that I give her a spelling test every Friday. >sigh< Warped, but in a good way!

I have just skimmed the responses, so if I am repeating, please forgive me. I do not spend time alone with any men, except my physician. Even my OBGYN has a nurse in the room during the exam. I know the verse in 1 Thessalonians is up for debate, but to me, avoiding all appearances of evil keeps me from falling into any traps of evil. That's my personal thoughts.
Other thoughts....Being alone with another mancan cause speculation and if the other person is at all unscrupulous, it could turn into a 'he said she said' situation. So in that sense, you are protecting yourself.
Now from a deeply personal experience. My dh carpooled with a girl that he worked with. I also knew her, and we were arranging some playdates. DH told me that her marriage was troubled. He was trying to advise and support her. A week later, he told me that some OTHER things were also happening, in the stairwell, at work. Was he planning on cheating on me? Nope. Was he flirting with her? Nope Were they discussing personal issues? Yup, and that creates intimacy that should NOT be there.
So, there are my thoughts on this whole issue. Don't put yourself in a situation that could lead to problems. Don't play with fire.

I think it was good that you went. My mother-in-law is a fuddy dud. Doesn't like to do new things, learn about new things and all that stuff. It does cause problems. She also SAYS she doesnt' eat sugar, and won't eat any of my desserts, but I do wonder who eats the m&m's & cookies she has in her cupbaords. Relationships are about give and take. You've given and taken for years from your immediate family, now that it's growing you're going to have to grow with it. If your DIL is anything like me, she probably thought it was a GREAT present and would have been hurt that you didn't want to do it. The relationship between MIL & DIL can be very fragile, and your son is in the middle. If it ain't immoral or painful, give a little. You want to stay on her good side ;).

I liked Land of the Lost too! My favorite cartoons were Scooby Doo, Johnny Quest, Droopy, Mr. McGoo and Pepe LePew, whatever she was in???
