I'm sorry. :( Kidney stones are rough!!!

I'm up here in Northern Illinois near the Wisconsin border and we are getting pounded with snow!!! :mad: Snow for Easter? :banghead: It just isn't right! There seems to be about 6 to 7 inches of fresh snow on my picnic table and it is still coming down like crazy! The satalite TV is no longer working. :( It's Spring, right? :confused: Okay, Rant over.

I'm bringing a bunch of fresh fruit because my dh and I are doing a Biggest Loser Couple game against another couple so no sugary deserts for us.

I am! I have to clean the house because dh is having a bunch of guys over tomorrow morning for their fantasy baseball draft. :rolleyes:

Here the going rate for a Spanish tutor (Formor high school teacher with master's degree in Spanish) who does all the lesson planning is $60 an hour. I'm located in Northern Illinois.

My husband named our school - Epignosis Academy.

We had friends that used Sylvan. They said that it really help their children. I also had a friend a couple of years ago who was a certified teacher, who was staying at home with her young children, and who was a tutor at a Sylvan. I think more important than the place is the tutor with which you get paired.

Up here in Northern Illinois, we have a lot of tutoring places like Huntington Resource Centers and Sylvin. They would be expensive but if cost isn't a factor, I've heard that they are good.

Besids the Intensive Practice which was already mentioned, the regulare Extra Practice books have more as well. Of course you get extra practice in everything but it is what my boys need anyway.

I had a very vivid dream the night before my ultrasound. It was my 3rd child, first ultrasound, and I really wanted a girl as I already had 2 boys. During my dream, I was having one of those newer 3D or 4D ultrasounds. I saw the baby's face and fell in love. The feeling of love was so strong and so overpowering! In the dream the nurse said, "It's a boy!" I didn't care because I was so in love. I then woke up. That afternoon I wasn't surprised to hear the technition tell me that I was having my 3rd boy. The feelings of love, leftover from my dream, covered up most of my disappointment. I feel like it was God giving me advanced warning and an extra measure of love for my now 3yods. Maybe God was letting you know how your son feels so that you can better comfort him and reassure him during his seizures.

I think it is a recording because each time I go there, we begin again with the elephants.

Yep, Maybe Jack's father is the mysterious Jacob? I'm not really serious but then again stranger things have been going on.

Here's one site.... http://themathworksheetsite.com/ I'm looking for the other one that you can download for free from http://Schoolhousetech.com . The site says that it is available but I can't find where it is on the site.

I haven't read the other responses but I was always told that dinner was the biggest meal of the day. Thus, dinner is at noon on Sundays at our house but in the evening every other day.

I'd love to have some land with chickens and goats.

My dh had one that passed in about 4 hours. It was painful but small as far as stones go. He drank a lot of water!!!

I really like Bob Chin's in Wheeling, IL. It is a very yummy, huge restaurant that always seems to have a wait. It doesn't have much atmosphere (at least not sophisticated atmosphere) but the food.....:drool:.

I'm glad that Alvin, um.. Alice, is now at a good new home. Are they letting her grow more before releasing her or is she already on her own?

Very cute little squirrel and kids. :) I don't know which is the best way to release him.... Is there a nature / rescue place that you can call? Normally I don't care about squirrels but when you get to see them as babies, you forget the damage and trouble that they can cause as adults. ;)

I am!!! :D

This is what I did as well!!!

How do you find out about these promotions? How far in advance do they announce them? :confused1:

I'm sure that it wasn't her as she didn't know what kind of trouble that she would get into. She was, after all, participating in an illegal activity.

Especially for a Christian school, I find the eyelash/ P**** hair comment very inappropriate. The kissing the picture of Zach just a bit immature but not a big deal IMO. The fact that your daughter needs help is the biggest concern and you need to do what you can to get her the help.

I would just serve a salad or fresh fruit or both. The pot pie already has veggies so I'd go with the fresh fruit. I hope you have a great time!! :0
