She is medium sized shaggy fur. She had several in her fur and there are now a few storming around the house that followed her in when she ran in the house. Any idea what we should do for her? What should we watch for? She seems okay at the moment. She ate a few of them.
I'd call your vet STAT and give benedryl just in case. Good luck!

So, i am trying to figure out how he can get back his priviliges. What warrants getting one back? We took away ten, things like computer games on weekends, tv on wkends, hocley practice, homeschool fitness, which he ADORES esp as they are plating basketball this session, boys' night out with dad, pool time....i told him at the end of each day, his father and i would sit down amd decide as parents whether he deserve to have any privileges back, but i know too that this is a child who needs to almost remap his brain over a period of time to instill better "habits" or inclinations towards politeness and respect. So i dont want to reinstate privilege too soon, kwim?
I'm not sure yet because we haven't done this before. Our plan is that he has to be obedient, diligent, and respectful. If he is all day, with no infractions, he gets one thing back that night. We'll start small and get bigger as each day progresses. On the otherhand, each time he is not obedient, diligent, and respectful, he will get 2 hours added to the original 5 days. At the end of the 5 (or however many it ends up being), all privs and toys, etc will be returned.

Not that I'd wish this on anyone, but I am so glad to know that I am not alone and that there is hope that I haven't "ruined" her. The snark, attitude, biting remarks, snapping at anyone and everyone who so much as looks at her. I thought it was all my fault. Apparently it's pre-pubescent hormones? Maybe. :tongue_smilie:
:iagree: I thought it was my fault too.

Sigh. He just DOESNT seem to get it. The backtalk and rudeness, particularly to his little brother, seems to just come out of nowhere! One moment, nice happy boy. Next moment, obnoxious, rude, snide comment. His behavior is so unpredicatble, and i hae it. I also hate how it makes me feel. I told him we all live in this house together, and we all need to get along, and his attitude is making it very unpleasant to be with him, and he started to cry :( okay, maybe i raised my voice just a weeeee bit. I told him how proud i was of him today when he came to my office and was quiet while i saw patients, and did his work without nudging, and was respectful. This made him cry even harder, because he realized that he really had fallen short, and that i really do appreciate it when he is good.
:grouphug:'s. I am crying after reading this because I, too, am at my wit's end w/ my 10 year old son. I thought it was just him or bad parenting so while I am so sorry you are going through this, I am also encouraged that he isn't turning into some awful person and that maybe it's a normal part of growing up. But boy, do I hate it. I miss my sweet, loving, considerate, helpful guy. This person he is lately is a stranger.
I just emptied his room of everything tonight. For the next 5 days, he gets to do nothing but school, chores, and helping his family. And he earns things back only by showing respect and obedience.
Good luck with your son. I hope things turn around quickly (for all of us).

I found an incomplete collection of books called the "My Book House" collection.
Looks just like this
I am missing the first two books, but I have two others not listed.
Here is the cool part--- they are still wrapped in their plastic.
I know nothing about selling books (or anything else for that matter)
Can someone tell me what to do to sell this collection?

I love Christmas shopping all year! I find that when I wait until Nov, I stress out over the cost of everything. If I spread it out over the year, it doesn't affect me. :tongue_smilie: I have finished for all 4 nieces, 4 siblings, 1 nephew, and 3 sets of parents. I still have 1 sibling and 2 nephews left, plus my own kiddos and dh.

I'm sure you planned excellent things. Don't think the grass is greener on the other side. And stay off the curriculum boards. Ask me how I know. :D
:iagree: I start next week!

I'm Giselle! I have 3 I homeschool and 2 wee ones who want very badly to be schooled like their older siblings. I have been a lurker on the boards for about 2 years and am so thankful for all the wonderful advice I have received here. I finally joined when I felt the need to pm someone. I like camping and being outside on sunny days.

I am so sorry for your loss. :grouphug:
Thinking of taking the kids to Mt. Vernon and Monticello. Any thoughts?

Food is not allowed on the grounds of Mt. Vernon' date=' but there is a cafeteria & a restaurant there. Otherwise, you'll need to exit the grounds to eat at picnic tables near the parking areas.[/quote]
We are going in 2 weeks, and I was wondering how far it is from the house to the parking lot. My thought is we would come back to the car to eat, but I have littles and don't want to walk forever back to the car. Thanks!
ETA: Also, can you exit and reenter on the same ticket?
