  1. My whole maternity wardrobe was just awful. We were so poor I couldn't afford to buy myself anything so I had hand-me-downs from my SILs and nothing fit right. I am taller than them with a long torso. The best outfit I had was a pair of jeans that fit ok and a men's rugby shirt that was big enough to fit over my belly. My mom made me a jumper which was just awful and about 6 sizes too big. Even though we are done having kids I sometimes dream about being pregnant just so I could wear cute maternity clothes. They are all so much nicer now.

  2. I'm a Christian homeschooler but I can empathize with you because I homeschool for academic reasons, not religious. But all of the other homeschoolers here do it for religious reasons and are kind of militant about it, which I don't care for. If someone started a secular homeschool group I would join.

  3. Church St is a pedestrian only street with shopping and food. The Lake Champlain Chocolates factory is great and doesn't take too long. Really, just walking around the Church St area could be an all day thing. I know you said you have food figured out but consider the Vermont Pub & Brewery-the food is awesome!

  4. Has she been checked recently for a UTI? UTIs in the elderly can cause severe mental problems including paranoia (thinking everyone is out to get her) and increased violent behavior. My husband's aunt has dementia and every time her behavior seems to go downhill suddenly they check her for a UTI and it never fails, she has one. The same thing used to happen with my grandmother. It's easy for them to get infections because of poor hygiene and not drinking enough. Treating her for a UTI, if she has one, won't make her Alzheimer's go away but it may help.

  5. His brain did fall out. He won't find it again for several years. Just stay calm and make sure he knows that he can talk to you about anything. Make sure he gets plenty of exercise-it makes a huge difference for my son in balancing his moods. Choose your battles. The smell will get better and he will turn into a really cool person that you enjoy being with.

  6. Your vet can give your cats a flea shot that lasts for 6 months. Get a good carped/upholstery spray that is designed to break the life cycle of the flea. I use Adams Plus Flea & Tick Carpet Spray. You can get it from Amazon. You'll need to spray everything once, then vacuum at least twice a day for a few weeks. You'll notice the fleas start to get smaller. Make sure you put the vacuum cleaner bag in a ziploc bag after you vacuum or the fleas you vacuumed up will crawl out back into your house.

     

    You can't get rid of fleas overnight. Just be patient and persistent. Good luck!

  8. I totally hear you...I am an inverted triangle with a long torso and there is nothing out there for my body shape. My age is also difficult-I am 34 and it seems like all the clothes are made for with someone much older or much younger. I pretty much just wear exercise clothes all the time. I don't know what I would do if I was invited to a wedding.

  9. I don't know if this will help you or not, but I found a complete trimester course breakdown for the World Lit book. There is the option for a regular course or honors course. It is provided by Mr. Menger. He provides a complete outline of the course, vocabulary, unit assignments, essay criteria, calendar and more. Following his plan will earn 1 credit. From what I've reviewed, it's quite meaty and well planned.

  10. Girlsgonestrong.com has lots of information about lifting and you may find an article or video that addresses your specific concern. Definitely see a good trainer and maybe back down on the weight until you get this figured out. If you are in pain after lifting that is not ok. It's really, really hard to perfect your form by yourself-another person may see things that you are missing. Lifting weights is a marathon, not a sprint. It takes time to see results and it is really important for your form to be flawless before you try anything really heavy. Don't give up! Being strong is awesome and the journey there is so rewarding!
