Thank you so much. I have been looking for something like this for my new phone. We are lucky that we have a Wonder bread outlet and everything is very cheap. They even have specials for three loaves of bread for $1. The only problem is all the other snacks they have there. :lol:

It's going to be another late night. My girls think they are going to stay up and watch but it doesn't even start until 11:15. These Olympics are going to kill me. :lol:

I will add my story. I had an epidural with both my girls and I would not do it any other way. It was wonderful. With my second I was induced and I had my epidural place before anything else was done. Then my OB broke my water and started pitocin. I had my daughter about three hours later and I was not tired at all. I was able to bond with her and went home a few hours later. It was the best experience and I would not choose to do it any other way. I really hope that you are able to make a decision based on your feelings and not on what other people expect or want you to do. Whatever you choose will be the right way for you. In the end all that matters is a happy mom and baby.

I too would just accept the card. I'm sure that they really appreciate what you are doing for their dd. It is hard to find someone that is willing to drive every day. My girls both go to gym four days a week and I am lucky that I can take them myself.

We are in Marysville.

Hi, I live in St Clair Co too. What is Excel? We are always looking for new things to do. I have two dd's that are 9 and 11.

We are really excited about the Olympics. My girls can't wait for gymnastics. I am trying to talk my dh into getting a new LCD HDTV and I used the Olympics as an excuse. We'll see what happens. :lol:

We used that too and it worked for my girls who were struggling to learn their facts for months. In less then one hour they learned all their facts and actually retained them. It was amazing. I think it is called Times Tales.

I too feel your pain except both of my in-laws just walk in my house. They took the liberty of programming their garage door opener to open my garage door. I have asked them to please use the front door and use the doorbell but they still just walk in the garage door. My dh doesn't understand the problem. I would never just walk into their house. We have had many fights over this. In fact, I think the only thing we ever fight over is his parents.

I have been looking for a program for my dd who is 11. We have used K12 for the last two years and she only does what she has to do and tries to skip many lessons. I have been looking at Oak Meadow and Keystone online programs. I still do not know what we are going to do. In math she has forgotten so much that I am having her review it with Teaching Textbooks. She seems to like it and really hasn't complained that I am making her work in the summer.

My guess is that she will have a CT and if it is negative then she will be sent home with instructions to follow up if any further problems. She definitely needs to be seen. I sure hope she is still able to make her trip.

My first suggestion is to get the Unofficial Guide to Disney. It has just about everything you need to plan your trip and tips to make it better. If you plan on eating a sit down meal every day then I would get the dinning plan. You really need to plan where you want to eat and call and make ADRs. You can read all the menus on allearsnet.com. The prices are on the menus so you could see if the dinning plan would be worth it for your family. Beach Club is our favorite resort. The pool is amazing and you really should plan a day there. Beaches and Cream is a cute little soda shop with great burgers and even better ice cream. It is usually packed with a wait but it is worth it. I could go on and on about Disney.

The Halloween party is a separate ticket event that will not take a day away from you tickets. You can get into the Magic Kingdom at 4 pm with your party ticket only even though the party does not start until 7pm. Our family loved the party. The only lines were for trick-or-treating. The parade is one of the best parades we have seen at Disney and the fireworks were really good too. My girls love it all and were not scared. Allears has a page with a great description of the party that would be helpful.

Our favorite sit down at the MK is Liberty Tree Tavern followed by Crystal Palace. They are both character meals and can be fun. CP is a buffet with Pooh and friends and LTT is family style dinner. Our favorite counter service meals are: Magic Kingdom: Cosmic Rays and Columbia Harbor House (dinner with chicken fingers and fish) Epcot: Sunshine seasons in the Land Great food and even better desserts Hollywood Studios: Toy Story Pizza Planet (you can get a salad, pizza, drink and dessert) Animal Kingdom: Flame Tree BBQ great ribs and BBQ chicken Follow the path to sit next to the water Someone had mentioned Tusker House but that is now a sit down. Allearsnet.com has all the menus for every restaurants. I sure wish we were going again. Have a great trip.

We have used K12 as independents the last two years and I was interested in the academy until I saw the price. I listened to the Eluminate session yesterday and I still could not figure out what you are actually going to get for that price. We have been looking at Keystone as they will have a middle school this year. It is about one-quarter the price.
