I found one on ebay! Thanks for the suggestions.
I think ds might enjoy making chainmaille, maybe next summer. I found a great website that has patterns and step-by-step instructions. http://www.mailleartisans.org/articles/subcat.cgi?key=7

Maybe I'll give it a try. I can't spend a hundred dollars on a side gift.

Ds (almost 12) would love a hood.
I did a google search but it only came up with sites that were for...um consenting adults or satanic(ish). :glare: I'm not going to support either kind with my business.
TIA!

I don't know how his program works but he may be able to take some of the RN ones before getting into NS.
Specifically, pathophysiology, pharmacology (basic), math calculations for nurses, and nutrition would be better to take before entry. In our program they have pathophysiology the same semester as OB/Peds and Med/surg one. That's 20 credit hours! Thankfully I was able to take those before getting into the program.
Can he take anatomy, chem and microbiology the same semester, this spring? If he can take Physiology and Eng. comp over the summer can he get on the waitlist in Aug.?

I suggest he continues working as an EMT and goes for the RN. The main hospitals in my city no longer hire any LPNs. Our community colleges no longer offer the LVN program. Instead they give an option to take 1 additional course after the 1st year of RN school to pass the LVN boards.
What I did: I'm in my last year of RN school. While I was on the wait list I completed all my non-nursing BSN requirements. I graduate in May with my RN and only have to take 3 additional nursing classes for my BSN.
I'm going to instead work as an RN (nights/weekends) for two years and then attend CU Denver's online RN-Masters program. It's an 18 month program that goes from an associated to a Master's.
Honestly, he will be successful in the nursing field regardless of which program he chooses. Good for him!

I don't have personal experience with this med but I've heard some very positive things about it. It's similar to Geodon. They are both atypical neuroleptics (anti-psychotics) that are used for mood stabilization. They both have had excellent responses in patients especially to those who have not responded well to other meds. Most mood stabilizing drugs are anti-seizure medications (Depakote, Tegretol, Neurontin, Lamictal, Topomax).
It takes several weeks before a patient will notice changes in mood and 4-6 weeks before full therapeutic levels are reached.
If your ds does take this medication be sure to watch for adverse effects especially a fever and involuntary movements or a funny feeling in the mouth, face, tongue, arms or legs.
Good luck to you and your son.

:iagree:
Plus, the $700 billion dollar bailout plan includes the following provisions for review of decisions by Pauslon.
"Decisions by the Secretary pursuant to the authority of this Act are non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and may not be reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agency." :001_huh:
This goes beyond party politics. Please do something NOW. Otherwise we are going to have to explain to our children why we handed over unlimited power to un-elected cabinet heads as we headed down this road to socialism. The Secretary of the Treasury is an appointed position. We did not vote for this person.
The wisdom of the bailout, and whatever new regulations people think are needed, if any, is beside the point. The point is are we going to have a government of laws, or of men?

This is supposed to be a great pro-marriage movie. Dh and I are going to see it Sunday. Here is the trailer:
-
we passed a couple doing, um they were uh, practicing for an X-rated video. They even had the dome light on. Weird!
Dh almost drove off the side of the road. It was quite a show. I'm ashamed to admit that I stared a little too long. I couldn't believe my eyes. :001_huh:
Thank goodness the kids were asleep.

I have three swimmers this year and I'm a USA swimming official.
Goggles- always have at least two pairs. I take them apart and spell our last name with beads then lace them back up. You may need to try out several pairs before finding the right fit. When you find it buy as many as possible.
Swim bags- each kids has their own. Inside- 2 towles (quick dry ones work best), 2 goggles, 2 caps, fins (try eBay), swimmer snorkel, clothing. Nike Outlet has awesome full size mesh backpacks for $15.
Meets: You will never have enough sharpies and highlighters, bring a book, an iPod and EAR PLUGS especially for inside meets.
Make sure you have the team suit ($$$) before leaving out-of-town meets!
Have fun!

We were at a swim meet this weekend. A mother screamed, in a very nasty tone, "STOP BREATHING!" every single time her dd swam. She'd say things like, "What is she doing?" "NO, NO, NO! Faster!" and "Why is she embarrassing me like that." :glare:

I know it's supposed to be wordless so if you don't want the back story don't click on my blog.

We toured the Olympic Training Center (Colorado Springs) today. There is excitement in the air!

I'm the fourth generation to have three boys and two girls.
Great-grandma- 3 boys 2 girls
My Nana- 3 boys 2 girls
Mom- 3 boys 2 girls
Me- 3 boys 2 girls
My mother, a retired public school teacher, homeschooled my youngest two brothers, my sister, and now my son.
ETA: I am the eldest. My parents are both the 2nd born.

I'm the one who hasn't lost any weight. I'm 5'7" and 115lbs. so I don't have much to lose. I actually look very similar to a 12 year old boy when I wear a swimsuit.:glare:
I can say that I am getting stronger, way more flexible and toned from the Fit.
My Dh has lost a total of 17 lbs from the Fit.
Our Mii's (from May)- my poor underweight children and pudgy dh. :)
A very unflattering picture of me doing my prepubescent boy impression (last week):
-
5 children, 3 full baths (tubs and showers) and 1 with just a toilet and sink.
-
My weight has remained the same, or within 3 lbs. I'm not trying to lose, though.
I am certain that my core strength and flexibility has increased tremendously! I do 12 yoga exercises and at least three aerobics ones and various others each day. Even the balance games get me moving and stretching.
I can't say that I'm "fit" but I'm getting there. :)

I love reading that one.

Me: 19 Dh: 20, married for 12 years (and happier today than ever)

Do you have a nice even tan over most of your exposed surfaces? Yes
If so, how did you come by it? Three children in swim team = hours and hours poolside
-
As a USA Swimming official, I have to say I can't believe they allowed the meet to continue. That is so very wrong!!!!
But it isn't the coach's call. It's the meet ref. who officially calls the delay. I would contact the local swim league immediately!
Good luck,

We stay to the end. My kids are in three different age groups now and we often have relays at the end so we have to stay.
I'm usually officiating anyway so I'm there until the v e r y end. My dh does all the computer entries and reports at the home meets so he has to stay at least an hour later than the meet.
I very much prefer the morning meets.
ETA: I've seen many moms wear a shirt that states:
If I have but one day left to live
Let it be at a swim meet
for they last
F O R E V E R!

The other day a lady in front of me at the grocery store threw a $25 gift card to Nordstroms into her pile. She winked and said, "No one notices an extra $25 in the grocery bill." I thought she was very clever. :p
Would 11yo ds like Wii Fit???

Mine does! It's fun and can totally be used for P.E.
I just mine a Sean White snowboarding game that uses the Fit board. My ds snowboards frequently so I think he'll love it.
