I taught all my kids the analog clock through Saxon math. They've since mostly forgotten and are slow to count the minutes. When, for example, we need to be in the car at 8am, and everybody knows its almost that time because we're rushing around brushing teeth and looking for shoes, and somebody yells out "What time is it?" and I yell out "Five of" they get angry because they have no clue what that means. So then they yell "What time is it EXACTLY?" and I respond "It's EXACTLY five of!" :lol:

We've had a few come out from the wood pile next to the fireplace. My kids consider them pets... as in "Oh look, Mr. Stinky's crawling on the chandelier, let's put him on the couch." :D Sorry, no advice.

One of my kids with ADHD (not officially diagnosed) will brew coffee at bedtime to "help me calm down."

Easy Peasy All-in-One Homeschool is free online. I don't like Time4Learning because of the foolishness of some of the cartoons.

:iagree: Yay, I'm not the only one. :hurray:

Whites Lights Darks Towels Sheets Delicates All on "quick" cycle, warm water, double rinse. Except for delicates which get cold water. Oh, and I sometimes use Dryel for my blazers.

The collar should be worn by the dog EVERY SINGLE TIME it goes outside. The reason the dogs entered your yard after they were already trained is that the negative reinforcement (an alarm warning and electric shock from the collar) was removed. Does your neighbor know this? Also, the collar needs to be worn nice and snug, really snug, high up on the neck. Definitely complain-worthy.

Reminds me of the time our little dog (who sleeps in a crate at night in DD's room, otherwise pees on the rug at 3am) pooped in the crate in the middle of the night. DD took the dog bed, poop included, and her fleece robe that said dog was sleeping under, rolled it up into a ball, and put it into the laundry basket for me to wash!! When I asked why she didn't dispose of the dog poop into the toilet before placing laundry into the basket, she replied that the noise of the poop falling into the toilet water grossed her out... :confused1: lol

DS had a mini temper tantrum on the drive home from public school today because he was tired and asked me to cancel his math tutor. I said no. His face turned red and he said "I'm so frustrated right now! You know what this reminds me of, Mom? Homeschool!" :crying: And he's my sweet boy with whom I have a great relationship! I didn't ask him to elaborate, but I suspect he meant being "forced" to do schoolwork. I don't think our relationship is ruined in any way, but he definitely has memories of being angry/frustrated with me.

Sheer. Like wooster-sheer sauce. :D

:lol: Your ds12 sounds like a great kid!

Yes! But it's natural and I consider it a "no makeup look." Concealer under the eyes A bit of powder A bit of mascara Neutral lip gloss Sometimes in winter I'll add a tiny bit of blush I don't apply makeup until I'm ready to leave the house, or until guests are due to arrive. If I'm home all day I omit the mascara to make it easier to wash my face in the evening.

Lion?

If R is an adult, then yes, R should take them out. If R is a child, I'm not sure... probably take them out, because they can only hear bits of conversation with the hearing aids in anyway.

You've gotten very solid advice above. I have nothing new to add, only that I would highly recommend online classes or an online school to make it easier to implement (log-on and do the next thing), to grade (computer-scored, or online teacher scored) and keep track (online grade book and class calendar) regardless of the subject or the child's age. I'm very sorry you're dealing with this! :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug:

I did GSWL with all four dc at the same time. I made 4 copies of the day's lesson, and they either wrote the translations on the bottom of the sheet, or on looseleaf.

If I remember correctly, carbs suppress Leptin - a hormone that tells you you're full. That's why you can eat a giant bowl of pasta with a side of bread and still crave more food.

I would throw them out! Isn't about a third of a pillow's weight from dust mite excrement? Or something like that? :wacko:

When dd's level was low she was prescribed 8,000 IU drops for 6 months till her levels were above 30. We all take between 1000 and 4000 IU several times per week, depending on which gummies are in the cabinet. They go fast!

I'd eventually split the boys 2 and 2. Second choice, have them share the large bedroom.

:iagree: We have double height inflatables, and while they're comfortable, I dislike the wobbliness. These memory foam mattresses look fantastic!

What a sweet ad! :)

So sweet!
