[S/O Strangest Name You Ever Heard:]

I know a couple who named their boy Liberty. A girl yes, a boy?

 

 

:001_huh:

[Gave Up Soda 6 Days Ago- STILL getting Headaches?]

I have been soda free for 2 weeks and the headaches are finally stopping. Give it some more time. Kudos! Ditching the habit is HARD!

[Breathe in, breathe out...]

Growing up in tornado alley I TOTALLY understand how you are feeling! :grouphug: Praying for a safe day for you!

[grammar/diagramming - necessary?]

Mh DH was never taught diagramming sentences and he turned out okay. :001_smile: My boys are diagramming this year, however. They are in 3rd and 4th grades.

[If you have successfully given up soda...]

I haven't read all the posts, but wanted you to know that I'm right there with you. I have not had a pop in 2 days. I ALMOST caved in yesterday, but didn't. I have a massive headache. It'll be worth it though.... :glare:

[What would you do? School room vs bedroom]

Thanks guys, lots to consider! Keep those ideas coming!

[What would you do? School room vs bedroom]

A.

 

I'm a mean momma. LOL!

 

:lol: This is my first reaction. Glad I'm not the only meanie out there.... :tongue_smilie:

[What would you do? School room vs bedroom]

We have a 4 bdrm house. Currently, the 2 oldest share a room and the youngest has his own room. The 4th bedroom is the school room. Both of the older boys want their own room. Doing this, however, would take away the school room. So, would you...

 

A.) Say "Too bad" and leave things the way they are

 

B.) Let them each have their room and do school elsewhere (dining room or whatever) I don't know what I would do with all the books and other school stuff.

 

C.) Give them each their own room and divide the school room between the 2 rooms

 

D.) Other, offer suggestion?

[Next Door Neighbor Cut Down OUR Privacy Hedge While We Were Out! (rant)]

My pulse rate is up just READING this! Please please please give us updates as this continues to unfold and hopefully get resolved. I'll be so curious to see how this plays out. Seriously. Some people.

[Irish twins while nursing?]

Yup, BTDT. I was nursing exclusively. I got pregnant when my baby was 6 weeks old. Hadn't had a period either. Imagine my surprise when I started showing again! :tongue_smilie:I was in my 2nd trimester before we knew. My boys are 11 months apart. "Irish twins"

[If you watch 'House']

I didn't know he was British either until I saw him on a late night talk show. I thought he was being goofy! :lol: I think he does it very well!

[Anyone have experience homeschooling through K12?]

Thanks guys! Since several of you used it, I'm just going to post a few questions here instead of PMing all of you :D

 

1.) Did you start this after having homeschooled? If so, how did the placement tests work?

2.) The application papers are asking for a current report card. We don't have report cards.

3.) For those who used it and then pulled out, did you go back to homeschooling? Were they okay with that?

4.) How 'hands on' was your helper teacher?

5.) Did you have to ever go to the charter school you used? (The one we would use is about an hour away)

 

If I think of anymore, I'll ask! I just need to contact someone there too. I did ask about having Logan (my one with Down syndrome) on it and they basically said "No" I was bummed about that.

[Sid the Science Kid]

:D

 

Except, I'd end up squashing Gerald. That kid drives me nuts!

 

 

:iagree::iagree::iagree: :lol:

[Anyone have experience homeschooling through K12?]

Thanks guys. There is a local charter school here that we would enroll through, so no cost. I have some questions and when I have more time, I will PM you. Thanks!

[Anyone have experience homeschooling through K12?]

K12 was just introduced to me through a family member and I was wondering if anyone had any experience with their curriculum?

[Hermit Crab care?]

I have a dish of both. Salt and fresh (distilled) Their care page said they needed both. So who knows? Maybe I do bother them too much. :lol:

[It's my birthday! I'm having a giveaway to celebrate if you like fabric.]

Happy Birthday!

[Question about 'Education Reform']

How soon are they talking about doing this?

[Hermit Crab care?]

Mine keep dying! 2 have died in a month. :confused: What am I doing wrong? I have both sand and that coconut fiber in their cage. The humidity level is always above 80%, I have a heating pad to keep the temp high enough. I change their water daily (distilled and salt) no tap water. Change their food daily, give them fresh fruit and veggies. Why are they dying?! DH suggests maybe I am irritating them to death with too much love and care..... ;)

[What idiot at ETC thought]

I'm lost, what is the ETC books?

 

Oh, and yes, anything that involves bodily fluids, gas or other disgusting slimy stuff is the funniest things to boys!

[Photos of my liitle leprechan]

AWWWW, CUTE! Love the one where the gold coin is covering his eye!

[Dr. Hive....? Diagnose what's up with my son.]

I would get his blood sugar tested. Maybe even his iron levels and thyroid. :grouphug:

[Dr. Hive....? Diagnose what's up with my son.]

Double post, sorry

[My friend's daughter was born with Down Syndrome last night]

I think you listen a lot and take your cues from your friends. Your friend may be like Nella's mom in that blog...or she may take months to adjust. Just be there with her. Empathize with what she is feeling at the time.

:iagree:

[My friend's daughter was born with Down Syndrome last night]

It's out. I have tried to buy it, but it's not able to be played on US DVD players. You need a certain type....which is what? lol I can't recall. A techie person needs to chime in.

 

I've seen it on Amazon, and you can buy an Aussie playable copy through the abc webite.

 

 

They should market in the US, I'm sure it would do well here!
