I guess we better get Pre-Algebra! Someone had told me it was just a review of Epsilon and Zeta. I guess they were wrong. :glare:

Every day, sometimes more. :D

Oh Dayle, I am so sorry. And I am really proud of your daughter for using her time in such a God-honoring way, showing those little ones the love of Christ when she could be like other 12yo girls obsessed with nothing more than boys and Hannah Montana. You have done a very good job raising her. :grouphug:

:iagree: You don't like it, don't eat it but you better not make a comment OR a "face" either. I am not their slave. I cook for them out of love and they should respond in kind.

Thank you very much!!!!!

I wish that wasn't true. I would prefer that the discussions were here for everyone to read because I miss them but I don't have time to be a member of 20 different discussion groups or remember to check them all. I just want to scroll the boards for good topics like I used to. :(

you've completed Alpha through Zeta with no problems? Do we need to go through Pre-Algebra or can we go straight to Algebra I? Will my ds miss a lot if he skips pre-algebra?

:iagree: It's just imaginative play. While there are some studies that link violent videogames to violent behavior, I have never read a study that links pirate play to one actually becoming a pirate. :D I remember as a new mom trying to do the "no toy gun" route as well. My ds chewed his grilled cheese sandwhich into the shape of a gun. There went that idea!

Well, based on my experiences, those of my friends, what my mom says and what I've seen from years of being a teacher....girls are easier when they are young but boys are easier when they hit the teenage years. At least that's how it is from what I've seen.

wow. those are super cute!!!!

:iagree: Also, religious beliefs, if there are any guns in the home, pets (like big dogs), things the kids are and are not allowed to do (we are pretty strict), etc. But I would probably already know most of this I would think since I would not let my child stay the night at a house if we are not already friends with the adults.

My 5yo would run the whole way. My 10yo would whine the whole way.

Is the Nigth Safari in Singapore? That sounds cool!

Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity. Surely some revelation is at hand; Surely the Second Coming is at hand. The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out When a vast image out of Spritus Mundi Troubles my sight: somewhere in the sands of the desert A shape with lion body and the head of a man, A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun, Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds. The darkness drops again; but now I know That twenty centuries of stony sleep were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle, And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born? (Yeats) The world is too much with us; late and soon, Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers; Little we see in Nature that is ours; We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon! This Sea that bares her bosom to the moon, The winds that will be howling at all hours, And are up-gathered now like sleeping flowers, For this, for everything, we are out of tune; It moves us not.--Great God! I'd rather be A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn; So might I, standing on this pleasant lea, Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn; Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea; Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn. (Wordsworth)

It was for our kids and they told us to raise our right hands and she said a bunch of stuff about whether or not the information we put on the forms was true and we said "I do". So does that mean we are married to the post office now? :tongue_smilie: Oh, and you are not allowed to smile on your passport photo any more either. They said "it changes the shape of your face".

No, I'm not coming to Cincy afterall. :( I love that convention but there really is no need for me to go now and we have so much to do before we go plus the need to save money, yada, yada, yada.

We don't have our exact leave date yet but it willbe around the second week of July. And I have an extra suitcase just for you! ;)

OK, I know it's not that big a deal. :D But it was so cool...especially when I wrote "Malaysia" in the space for the country you are traveling to and when we had to raise our right hand and do the oath. Oh and Tracey, yes, we ARE going. :D

OK, I'm going to check out Dansko, Clarks, naturalizer, Easy Spirit, and a few others mentioned. Thanks ladies!

I will have to check these out. I have 3 of their purses that I love but I have not bought their shoes.

Those ARE cute! I wish I could try them on before I buy. Do you know where one can get them other than TJMax (which I know is hit or miss).

I am going to be on my feet A LOT during the next school year in my new job. I also have to dress up every day. I dress up now but I also wear nice high-heeled shoes because I sit at a desk most of the day. So where can I get FASHIONABLE dress shoes with a small heel that I can actually walk in all day without crying? I am willing to spend money but they do have to look good.
