Yowza. Pretty shocking.

Where were you last year when I was doing Vol. 1 with my ds? :glare:
J/K :) This looks like a great list. I'm going to copy it and save it for when I do Vol. 1 again in a few years with dd. Thanks for all your work!

She has started a blog to keep everyone informed.
http://mybigdoorway.blogspot.com/
She is a friend of mine and many others on this board. I have had the chance to spend many Monday evenings sharing coffee with her and other homeschoolers. I know you would love getting to know her as well!
So, please take some time to meet her on her blog and send her your well-wishes and prayers.
Thank you for sharing the news, Dawn. Colleen is in my prayers.

Thanks, I just requested it from the library :)
-
Great pictures!! Your boys are really cute.
-
Love it! :D I'm going to see Weird Al in about 10 days.
-
Oh my gosh, that was about the cutest thing ever! Looked like mama was enjoying the sprinkler, too, must have been a hot day :)
-
Big fans here, too. The girls just watched Ponyo at my niece's house and are begging me to get a copy of it. I really enjoyed Spirited Away and Kiki's Delivery Service.

Yes. My ds isn't a runner, but he likes to go for walks around the neighborhood, or take his scooter to the park. He just turned 13 a month ago. It made me a tad bit nervous at first, but so far, so good. I figure he's got to have some experience of independence - it's not that many years before he'll be out on his own.
-
Seriously?! How cool! I never heard of it. I'll be checking it out. San Diego - it's even in my state :)

Cooking.
Cleaning the a/c filter.
Any computer malfunctions.
Vacuuming.

I've used homeschoolclassifieds several times and never had a problem. As far as I know, though, Paypal only covers your losses if you use the non-personal purchase payment, so you probably should do that to be on the safe side, considering you're dealing with a new seller.

They are remodeling the Target near us, too. It has been pretty chaotic for a few weeks, but today when I went in it was much better. I think it has another week to go before it's finished. It will take me some time to get used to the new changes though. On the plus side, they seem to have a lot of extra employees wandering around and asking people if they need help finding things. Give it a few weeks and hopefully everything will be stocked up again!

I love our Corelle and I don't think we've ever had any break (unlike our Pfaltzgraff). The only thing that would make me hesitate would be tile floors, but otherwise I'd recommend them 100%.

Our church charges $30/child, and it includes the t-shirt. I've sent my kids a couple of times, but it was really stretching my budget to do it, and the last two years I just said forget it. I don't think it necessarily has to be free, but I think $10 would be a lot more reasonable. I don't know if other churches in the area charge (ours is a Catholic church).

I take Lexapro (for anxiety, though, not depression). I've been on it for 7 years and I don't regret it one bit. Quite the opposite, in fact. It has been a complete lifesaver for me.
I have fibro, too, and the Lexapro does not seem to help with that...although I guess it's possible I would be more depressed if I wasn't on it. Anyway, I have an appt next week with the dr to see if there's something else I can try for the fibro. The pain has been really bad lately.
-
I'm just seeing this right now (((Heather))), I'm glad things seem to be improving. I will keep you in my prayers.
-
I know!! What about a Pokemon math workbook for $253.35 - I'm so sure someone's going to pay that!
-
Where's Colleen? I know she's had 5, and she survived :D I've had 4 myself. The OB did tell me after the last one that if I had more I would most likely have to have a vertical incision due to adhesions, but other than that she didn't discourage me.
-
We bought the expansion combo set which is pretty cool and can be used for building a lot more things. I don't know anything about the minis.
-
What a cool tattoo. I like your blog - lots of great info on there.

That is a tricky situation to be in. Generally speaking, if it's not a serious matter, I will bite my tongue, and limit my time around the offending people. If it's a borderline or dangerous situation, I would say something and to heck with the friendship. I would probably try couching it first in a non-judgmental but concerned way, "You know, some people might view your child's behavior as abusive...are you concerned with the way he's acting?" or "I've noticed Johnny's behavior is escalating and he doesn't seem to be outgrowing these tendencies...have you asked your pediatrician about it?" Or "My friend had a child who used to do that and she did XYZ with him and it helped so much." Sometimes parents really do want advice or help and just don't know how to ask for it. If I thought something potentially dangerous was going on, I would say something.

Praying. Hope you get some answers soon.

Oh, no! I would be heartsick too. I'll pray they can locate the books.
