I like the idea of hanging them on a wall. You wouldnt have to wash them too often, maybe just when you wash curtains. Or depending on the size, you could frame them and then hang them. I love framed quilts, but Ive only seen this done with very small quilts.

If one of those bikes is a Trek FX, I'd go for the Trek. Other than that, I can't say without more techinical info. However, I'd go on longer trial rides ( not around the store but actually outside) and eventually, your body ahould tell you which is better suited to you.

Awesome! Ty

Capri tights, tech shirt with a 3/4 zip tech pullover. Gloves and hat when things turn very cold. Its all about layers so you can add or subtract.

I love it and can relate each character to someone in my own famly:)

:iagree: As a lab tech I can say that if there were blast cells or other very abnormal things in his blood they wouldn't have you wait for a retest. Perhaps his platelet count was on the low side and they want another look. Did you get a copy of the labs?
No i dont have a copy of the labs. The nurse did say the dr. had seen the results and wanted the tests to be repeated to be sure. Sure of what, she didn't say.
And I am a worrier by nature, something I've been working on. It is counterproducive, for sure.

And wants the CBC and anemia panel repeated. I asked if i needed to bring him right into the lab and they said it wasnt an emergency. To bring him in after school ( he has friday school) and results would be back next week.
I was upset at first, but now i think if it was serious, they would have insisted I bring him in immediately.
Thoughts?
Edited to add, the original appt was a weird purple blotching on his legs after exertion. It fades within half an hour

For those who are 100 percent healthy and who have no issues, i see no reason to cut out wheat. But if you have issues, and you seem to, and your doctor has recommended it, i say give it a shot. One month and you will have your answer.

If you do something like crossfit, you can kill 2 birds with one stone. Build muscle and torch fat at the same time.

I forgot to mention all of the "new rules" books are wonderful. New rules for women is great, new rules for abs is very tough, inter/advanced moves and new rules for midlife is basic, a bit less strenous than women and abs. All are weight lifting programs.

I would def. put a time limit on it and then realize that you might have to extend the school year a month into the summer to make up for time lost.
The extra money will be nice but it certainly doesn't seem doable for more than a few weeks.

Stumptious.com has great info, she has also battled a back isue. Beware, she uses some crass language.

No. I have a thyroid issue that sporadically causes me to gain 20lbs in a month or two. And then it is more difficult for me to lose the weight than the average person. But I count calories, weigh my food, lift weights, run.....anything to get my body back in shape. And I go weeks or months without bread, pasta, rice or processed foods.
Sometimes my friends don't understand and tell me to live a little and enjoy life. I do enjoy life, though. I just don't need a certain type of food to do it, kwim?

Thanks for the kind words. I just wanted to add, homeschooling isn't common among our friends and family. They think I'm making a mistake, I don't get a lot of support (even from my H), and I feel like they are waiting for me to fail.

I would start small, 3 meatless nights a week and go from there. And while frankenfood faux meats are pricey, making your own meat substitutions are very inexpensive. Lentils are wonderful, I use them to sub for sloppy joes, taco meat and chili. Beans mixed with rice make a very nice protein. I do a guacamole, bean and rice bowl with salsa and lettuce for Chipotle type meals. I also use portobello mushrooms for a "meaty" texture, we eat them as hamburgers. These are pricey, but still cheaper than meat IMO.

I guess the title says it all. I'm making myself sick with worry that my Ds, 13, will fall behind this year. I haven't homeschooled before and this may be our only year before I send him back to school, most likely private school.
Every night I lay awake wondering if I'm doing enough. I read about all the amazing things people are doing here with their kids and I know we aren't doing as much. I am trying to fill some PS gaps, so he doesn't have a great base to build on so I try not to beat myself up too much. But still.....
How can I be sure he's learning enough? I'm doing WWS. It's difficult for both of us. He's doing well in Derek Owens Alg 1. We are studying biology, world history and vocabulary/word roots. He'll read The Oyssey, Hamlet, To Kill a Mockingbird and The Hobbit. But we aren't doing much else lit wise. We aren't doing grammar, poetry, critical thinking and things like that.
Is there a test I can give him now and give him at the end of the year to see his improvement? Or a test I can give him at the end of the year to make sure he's where he should be?

Oh my goodness, how cute:)

Punk wants a lizard and we have gone round and round about it. (DH and I) we have told him he can get it IF he can pay for all of the set up costs and show that he can afford to purchase its food.
Lizards are so expensive and difficult to maintain, imo. Don't blame you for being hesitant.

No,we buy everything except the occasional treat

Go broncos! Lifelong fan, but so far it's ugly. 3 inteceptions already

Anatomy and disease detective. They both tie into my general theme for this year, which is biology. :)This is an all homeschool group, so while very intense and a bit intimidating...it's a wonderful and super suportive group so far.

My son, 13, is very hands on and loves active learning. Reading, not so much. We have something in place for each subject except science. I was using some textbooks and workbooks, but nothing solid. Now DS is obsessed with Khan academy and wants to watch these for science. He takes copious notes, even sketching in his science journal and just loves it. It seems to teach better than I can (science not being my strong suit), lol.
Also, we are doing science Olympiad this year and it is very intense. Between these 2, can I feel okay with letting him lead his own learning in science?

The applications asks for class rank, grades in various classes and test scores.
Thank you for your quick reply. My older son is in PS, ranked 1 in his class. My younger son is homeschooled, I suppose I just put that on the application and they will understand he doesn't have a ranking?

Everything is a drive for me, 30 minutes is nothing.
