This just happened to a good friend of mine. It took a day for her symptoms to show up and she is still feeling the effects, one month later. Definitely give yourself the time to heal.

Cheese curds from Wisconsin.
This is mine too. Every visit we bring home cheese curds and when others visit us, they bring them to us. We will also usually bring home a bunch of cheese too.

We are starting August 11. Guess I need to finish my planning stuff. Maybe I'll just shop for school supplies instead.

Spiral notebooks, pencils, pens. I may need some more glue but need to check the glue drawer. I think also index cards. I also want to get each of the girls a student planner to start keeping track of due dates, etc.

Look at St. Edward's University in Austin. That is my alma mater and I know they are good at judging the individual by more than test scores and grades. I had a wonderful experience there and would recommend it to anyone. They are also generous with scholarship money.

I'm going to take a wild guess that the flavor/texture/whole taste experience just MIGHT not have been the same as you remember if you'd taken a bite upon his return...
BBQ freezes well (so we can bring it home successfully). I'm not quite so sure about Whataburgers. ;)
Your are right but rational thought doesn't always go hand in hand with pregnancy.
When I was in college in Austin, I had a friend tell me never to eat at Whataburger because in the future, you would find yourself with the worst cravings and be far from a Whataburger location. I should have heeded his advice. It has been 20 years since I left Austin and I still crave them from time to time.

An hour although we don't do it often maybe once or twice a year. When I was pregnant though, I had a serious craving for Whataburger. For some reason dh wasn't willing to drive the 10 or so hours one way to get it for me.

First pregnancy: Constant nausea with little to no vomiting for the first 12 weeks. 2nd trimester I felt a little better but then started vomiting daily for most of the 2nd trimester and part of the 3rd.
Second Pregnancy: Hyperemesis that hospitalized me 3 times in the first 12 weeks. Vomiting disappeared pretty much once 2nd trimester hit but that first one was a doozy. It convinced me that I never wanted to be pregnant again. DH also said that he couldn't watch me do it again. Horrible. Being pregnant was miserable.

Actually, even if his reasons are discriminatory, it may not be illegal. There is a loophole in federal fair housing laws called Mrs. Murphy's law. It states that if a person owns fewer than four rental units and lives in one of them, they are not bound by fair housing laws. They can deny anyone for any reason and don't have to explain it. http://fairhousing.foxrothschild.com/2013/04/articles/fha-basics/the-fhas-mrs-murphy-exemption-a-50-state-guide/

My daughter primarily uses cloth pads. She is 12. She loves the ones from Pink Lemonade Shop with both the minky and the bamboo velour top. I have made some for her as well that are fleece bottoms with flannel on top. I bought some fabric from Amazon to use as an inner layer http://www.amazon.com/Zorb-Super-Absorbent-Fabric-Made/dp/B00B4CGTYO/ref=sr_1_1?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1404163924&sr=1-1&keywords=cloth+diaper+fabric.
I also got some that I love from a company called Blossom Pads but they are closed indefinitely. I have a bunch more fabric and need to get some more made but it would be so much easier if I had a serger. I think I may sew a bunch together and take them to my MIL's house and serge them.
ETA: We dont care for the ones with the PUL Backing. Much prefer the fleece backing.

We have been to the stores in Chicago and the one in St. Louis. I much preferred the one in St. Louis and that is the one younger daughter still talks about. We went into the little bistro and had dessert. Boo-Boo ordered cookies and milk and they served the milk in a little glass bottle. She still talks about that several years later. The Chicago store was just overwhelming in its size and the cafe there was just too expensive.

Both of my daughters learned to read before 5. One is now 10 and the other 12 and they both still love to read, for pleasure and for school.

For our homeschool group potlucks for the most part, everyone brings their own (I usually bring extra in case anyone forgets). We sometimes have them at a church that allows us to use their plates, etc. If I were going to one at someone's home, I would expect they would provide these items.

Zofran got me through my hyperemesis pregnancy. When it was really bad, I would have to go to hospital for IV fluids/Zofran. So sorry. I know how miserable you are.
-
Yep. I don't bother anymore with selling or buying used. I will buy used from somewhere like Better World Books or Amazon if I can get a cheap price. Otherwise, I would just rather buy it new. I would rather just give my stuff away to people I know can get some use out of it.
-
I would wait. When mine were little, we didnt' do much of anything until reading skills were pretty solid.
-
I started when Sweet Pea was a young 4 and asked me to teach her to read. Once she got that down, we moved on to other things.
-
Generally, no. I have gone before to the local Catholic homeschool conference to shop and once to hear a speaker I was interested in. While I enjoyed that, overall I don't find them terribly valuable.
-
I do get most of my support from my local homeschool group. It is such an incredible group of people. Not everyone schools in the same way we do, but they definitely give me the encouragement to continue and recharge my batteries to be able to continue. I have one Mom in another state that is my curriculum facebook buddy. We always have some lengthy curriculum discussions in the spring.

I voted other for all three questions.
1) We homeschool partially for academic reasons but primarily for social reasons. Dh and I both find that the pressure on children, particularly girls, to grow up way too fast was just something we did not want to be a part of. Now, after doing it for 9 years, we continue because we love the lifestyle and whole experience.
2) At one time or another, we have used all of the curriculum options listed. We are very eclectic and I pick materials based on the needs of my children and what will get done.
3) We use textbooks, workbooks, living books, etc. Again, I use what will get done. Both of my children read extensively and that is the primary basis of their education.

I just tried the recipe from the Pioneer Woman and it was good even with cauliflower instead of pasta! We used provelone and some Romano to add variety. and like someone else said, add a good, strong mustard powder!
I use the recipe from Pioneer Woman with a combo of sharp cheddar and gouda. It is very yummy.
For something completely different, I made this sweet potato and brie mac and cheese. So good.

Has she ever read Andrew Lang's Fairy books? These are available free for Kindle. My almost 11 year old is loving them and is so excited that there are so many of them.

My brother was just diagnosed with Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever from a deer tick. The doc said he caught the tick just in time or the consequences would have been much worse. Scary little critters. Hope dh and you are OK.
-
Of course.
And we would also look up "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives." We love that show! We have a found a couple of his choices right here in the Austin area. :-)
I went to school in Austin and all of my favorites were local places. Yum!

It says on the website that you can do them in whatever order you want. I think somewhere on there, they also have a chronological listing for each level.
