:lol: Thanks for the good laugh!

Before kids: I thought that children were loud because their parents were loud. And the parents aloud it because they didn't realize the both of them were loud.
After kids: I realize some kids just are loud despite the parents' best efforts to teach them "inside voices".
Before kids: I thought people blamed everything on their kids, like the house being a mess, things being broken, them being late for appointments.
After kids: I know it is harder to have a clean house, have nice things, and be on time while dragging four children behind you.

If it doesn't work is that because the wiring is wrong already or the light/fan itself isn't working? If it is the fixture that isn't working you should be able to do it. I would take note of what colored wire goes where to be sure to rewire it correctly. And yes, like you said shut the power off first! :001_smile:
My husband is the handy one and has replaced ours during bathroom remodels and it didn't look hard, but then again I was "supervising" and he was actually doing it. lol.

Well, I would if I had any friends IRL.
That sounds bad. I do have friends, but but they all work.
:lol: This is too funny and yet I can relate. My friends get really chatty with me online during lunch break and that's about it. We have busy lives with our families and them working so there isn't much time for other socialization on our parts. Oh there is that horrid socialization word. How many times do we worry about our own, lol.

And to think my biggest fear was that they weren't washing their hands! Now I have to worry about them washing too much of themselves. :glare:

Wow that sounds amazing to think I would have a secret but in reality there aren't any, lol. When we started I typed in "spanish alphabet" in the youtube search bar and started browsing some videos. We found some that fit our family in the form of songs. The kids watched them and learned pretty quickly. Then they found some Boca Beth Spanish videos that taught the numbers, colors, animals, and shapes. From there we went to the Mommy Teach Me Spanish videos where they focus on a certain subject like food and they teach all the phrases and sentences pertaining to food and eating. It has been an inexpensive way of teaching our children. I am sure as they advance in their skills we will need a more organized plan but for the basics it is working well.

We are two weeks in and I am making changes already. I have Vocabulary Vine that was supposed to be a great roots program. I am ditching it and looking for something different.
On a good note we decided we do like learning Spanish from a cheap Complete Book of Spanish mixed with some youtube videos. In two weeks they have mastered the alphabet, colors, numbers, shapes, and some basic objects. I'm glad I didn't spend the money on Rosetta like I was considering.
So in two more weeks I wonder what we will change, lol.:glare:

Happy WW! Mine is up and link is in the sig. line. I couldn't help but post of some summer time pleasure.

:iagree::iagree::iagree: Exactly what I wanted to say!

I asked this same question a while back. It was recommended to me to read Climbing Parnassus. It is a great book that helps to explain it. HTH!

I agree with a lab. Ours tolerates the unintentional harshness of the little ones and is an awesome companion to them all. This is our second lab and we wouldn't choose any other breed for a family dog. I believe they would meet your requirements. The only thing to remember is that they are puppies longer than some other breeds. You could check the shelter to see if by chance there is an older lab already past the puppy stage. HTH!
-
I agree. I think the majority of parents are aware that it is typical for children to eat somewhat unhealthy foods at events like this. I am assuming other items will be served along with the chips that will balance that out. I also like the comment someone made about chips being just as bad at 10am as 3pm. Time isn't an issue, it is the food that is an issue.

I would like to try this. I'll send an email to you!

Okay here is my desk which was previously the table from our sun porch. It is still functional although not as clean and cleared off as I would like it to be. The bulletin board on the wall makes it look twice as cluttered huh. Might have to do something about that. Great now that I had to see it this way I will have to spend time today organizing it. Thanks!:glare:
-
After viewing your desk I can climb out from under mine! I was nervous when I seen Jean's, dead flowers and all it looks twenty times more functional than mine. I can relate to yours Tracey! Let me get the camera and then I'll share mine.

I order yearly from RR and aside from the occasional back order I have been completely satisfied. Customer service has always been very friendly regarding back orders and the shipping is reasonable. I like the convenience of using their wish list feature and then placing one order instead of several to get free shipping.:001_smile:
-
So glad to hear I am not alone!

Rachel, we will pray for all of you. It has been all over the news the devastation you are all facing.:grouphug:
-
Your cupboards look great! I love organizing things too but don't have anything near what yours is. Although give me a label maker and I could, lol.
My compulsive behavior is washing my hands. If I touch anything I have to wash them. It's from my childhood and unfortunately I have never outgrown it.
Also drying my shower out after someone uses it. I can't stand water spots on it. That's a little too anal isn't it? I like it to be dry for some crazy reason!
And I liked the alarm clock one, that was funny!

This is absolutely gorgeous! I love victorian homes with all the trim and woodwork.
My dining room is very practical and serves a purpose (we have lived here one year and have yet to remodel it, sadly). Yours is beautiful!
-
thanks! I'll go look for the sticky since I have a ton to learn about this board. :)

Is there somewhere that you read this or how did you figure it out?

We have more than one bathroom but a friend has four children and one bath. She has vanities in the girls' bedrooms so they can do hair and get ready in there instead of the bathroom. She hangs towels over the foot of their beds. As for schedules she has two at night and two in the morning do showers. She has never mentioned when her and her husband shower- nor have I asked. lol. They have done it for the 7 years that I have known them so it is possible. Good luck with your transition!

:iagree: They say small goals are what leads to the BIG goal, so start there. Pick something important to you and work with him periodically each day until he retains it.
Good luck.
