I was a housekeeper for a whopping two weeks and no one ever tipped. I was surprised to learn that people do!

Yep, you do want that book. I went to the ped and asked for a referral to an OT. The OT diagnosed and started therapy. We've seen three different OTs in 2.5 years, just starting with the third.

It would be report worthy here. You can spank your children but you cannot use a belt nor can it leave any mark which a belt would do.

Probably once a month but that's definitely not a play date for us. Moms usually come with their kids here. I don't know what I'd do if someone unexpectedly dropped their kid off at my house and expected me to supervise! I don't think that'd fly.

We don't use an actual curriculum for Bible but we read from the Jesus Storybook Bible and ask the kids questions to review what's going on. We also have this too and it's amazing: http://www.amazon.com/Thoughts-Make-Your-Heart-Sing/dp/0310721636/ref=tmm_hrd_title_0?ie=UTF8&qid=1396016913&sr=8-2
The Jesus Storybook Bible actually does have a Sunday School curriculum if you wanted to check it out but right now we're getting enough just through talking through those two books I mentioned above. http://www.jesusstorybookbible.com/index.php?option=com_curriculum

$4.63! I'm actually pretty excited! *lol* I thought there would be nothing because I either go for the cheapie books or go to the library.

My dad did, my brother does, my stepfather does, my stepbrother does... a huge chunk of people I know work in or have worked in factories.

As everyone else has said, they are high energy and puppy-like but I've never met a lab I didn't like.

Seriously? If there's an actual reason for the divorce then own up to it. Or don't, it's none of our business. But to follow this doctor, who happens to be married himself, and says people shouldn't be together for four, five, or six decades? That makes absolutely no sense to me. I know plenty of people who have been married for 40+ years and are still ridiculously happy with each other. I look forward to celebrating 50 or 60 years of marriage with my husband.

Orange Is The New Black by Piper Kerman, Quiet: The Power Of Introverts In A World That Can't Stop Talking by Susan Cain, and Raising Stony Mayhall by Daryl Gregory.

Yep, we always did things the baby needed anyway.

Ooh, my library has it. I'll check it out tonight and see if it's any good. I've read a couple of zombie things, I've read World War Z and things of that nature. A couple of the Walking Dead graphic novels too.

I'd be okay with a 10 year old reading it as long as they're open to discussing things with you thoroughly. It is gruesome and disturbing but I think if you have a mature 10 year old who is willing to bounce their thoughts from the book off of you, it'd be okay.
-
I read half of Orange Is The New Black last night... I'm slightly groggy this morning because I stayed up too late. At least the kids helped themselves to breakfast when I wasn't up ASAP. :blushing: I plan to finish it this afternoon and take a trip to the library. I'm a weirdo and need to have a paper book in my hands for a little bit. Too many ebooks make me crave the smell of ink and the feel of an actual book.
-
I enjoyed the first book. The second one was meh. The third one, I had to force myself to read because it was so bad. I definitely won't go see them in the theaters, but maybe I'll watch them if they end up on Netflix.

The pushing is what would bother me the most. We just allowed our 6 year old to have her first sleepover with her best friend this weekend. My gut said it was 100% fine, we know the family very well and have been friends for years. Her child has spent the night at our house before. There's a good relationship and trust established. So I was comfortable with it though my mama heart wanted to cry a little at reaching that milestone!
Would I let her spend the night with it being a situation like you posted about? No way in heck. If anything sends up red flags, you have every right to say absolutely not. Go ahead and let them think you're an overprotective homeschooler, you know what is right for your child better than anyone else does.

Nice! I've been drooling over them for a few months now as we've outgrown the minivan. I just wish there was more storage space!
-
Happy birthday, Shukriyya!
Man, all of the talk of Orange Is The New Black made me go buy it in ebook form. I've watched the first season on Netflix, *cough*twice*cough*. It's ridiculously addictive!
Finished up Jenny Plague Bringer and wasn't that impressed with it. It's fluffy, yes, but it felt like he was pulling in whatever he could to finish out a fourth book. I just started Quiet: The Power Of Introverts In A World That Can't Stop Talking. So it'll be that and OITNB this week!

Mmm, now I am craving falafel.
-
Can I sneak in? So far I'm on book 22 of the year and am totally behind on my schedule that I wanted to keep. Oops. I'm almost finished with Jenny Plague Bringer by J.L. Bryan. Fluffy little series about paranormals but it's been fun.

No, 15 minutes is not usually enough time to recharge my batteries and come back out ready to join into family life. Granted, I have a lot of small children so that could skew my answer.
-
Hah, we're all excited that it's 40 today so all of the kids who aren't napping are playing outside. It definitely feels like spring with the sun shining, snow melting, and the kids outside playing while the birds chirp.
Naughty mom didn't make it to school today and we have a PT eval this afternoon so it's not happening. They'll just do school tomorrow instead of having the day off like they typically do.

My play kitchen is only used by the 1 and 2 year old. The 4, 5, and 6 year olds aren't interested anymore.

Oh gosh, kids are hilarious! Mine would have done something like that too.
100 ez lessons or ordinary parents guide?

We've had both. My oldest DD hated 100EZ and we ended up giving it to a friend. 6 months later, I picked up OPGTR and she loved it. Zipped right through and was reading books in a month or so. My three oldest were reading at 4 with it, I fully expect my littles to as well.
