My story. Last August I had enough with feeling sorry for myself, my dd was almost 2 and I hated the way I looked. I found a running program in prevention that looked doable and dh I have to do this my way. Which meant getting up at 4A and getting my behind out that door and I did this morning after morning after morning and well 4 months last 30lbs lost and I could run 5-7miles. I've gotten lazy in these winter months but try to get at leat 3-5miles a day along with cross training and weight training. Goal right now run 10K this fall. I love running it feels so good to get inmy zone and finish my 1 hr or more. Some days I go house by house and cry but make myself do it because I know I feel so good when its over. I am down 2 sizes and feel great.

My boys I learned to just wait until they were 3 and pretty much said okay no more diapers and that was it. My dd is 2 and has not interest she doesn't respond to bribes. I am not in a hurry but I thought girls were easier and she shows no interest? She had great communicaiton skills which I thought were part of the process. Just curious.

My 2yr dd has quite a vocabulary. She told my neighbor yesterday that her dog looked comfortable. She also uses phrases like "I'm so proud of you", "that's delicious", "what a beautiful baby". No baby talk for her. People can't believe she's only 2. Then again when you are hsing they pick up quite a bit through the read a louds and just general listening in on things. She surprises us sometimes with the stories she puts together. She also does the typical alphabet and counting I think we are up to 12 and counting down from 10

This time of year I would not wait. I tried to make a well child appointment for dd and was told to wait a few weeks because of the number of children coming in with strep and influenza. For my own peace of mind I would bring him in.

Movies my boys liked, Holes, the sandlot, field of dreams, angels in the outfield, garfield, kid in king arthur's court, narnia

I keep it in the laundry basket that gets sorted once a month and if there is no mate it goes in the garbage or replaces old worn out rags.

Hmm, not to sure we are trying to eat more organic so it's been a little off as we figure out what is worth the extra $$ and what it isn't. What stores have the best prices and selection for what we want. We just had a publix open that has a huge organic selection with decent prices so in a month or so I'll see what my adjusted grocery bill is as we get rid of processed, chemical induced foods from out diet.

You know, this just does not suprise me. I've heard of churches handling some situations in what I would consider "unchristian" ways.

I heard this through my sister that lives near her. I asked if she thumped her up side the head to knock some sense into her... She was just as shocked as I was when she told me. Just when we think L can't get anymore um oh I don't know the exact word to use let's try ignorant she always says or does something to make us think she's a few french fries short of a happy meal. How many webkins would my 8 year old buy his tax refund money?:rolleyes:

or any part thereof? My sister said she's giving her children all of it to spend "because it's theirs" hmm?:cool: That's the first time I ever heard that. It got me wondering is anyone else giving part or all of the $300 to their child? I guess that would help stimulate the economy...

Walgreens refills are cheap

Someone gave us one because they were upgrading.:rolleyes: We didn't ask questions we just said Thank you.

It's still to new for me to let my kids get it. However, I believe it is encouraged for kids living in dorms.

No, I am not joining the strike. I have not had any problems.

DH went to Harrod's when he was in London and got me my valentines gift of amazing chocolate hearts and a heart shape wedgewood picture frame, made in England, not China. He also brought home tea, a variety of candy for the kids, that was an interesting experience trying what they have there, same candy different name, tea biscuits for dd and I to have at our "tea parties", he went to a bookstore in Cambridge and purchased a classic English children's book for dd, and of course he save some currency for the kids. We are planning a vacation there when dd gets older.

We have one we use for everything. We are faithful at labeling every expense on line to moniter our budget. Plus we get rewards which we usually take the cash. It get's paid in full every month.

Okay, you all win. Since we have no debt I guess we'll have to spend it. Maybe a trip to disney, a pool, or a shopping spree lol. Which would you choose. :p

From what I understand yes, if you have knee problems. I have been very lucky and found a new balance style that really works well for me an I usually find them at Kohls for under $50 however I run daily and replace them every 3-4 months. I wonder if I got fitted properly if it would be worth the money to get some that lasted longer.

I'm curious if there is a taste difference.

This came up last night in the pre 10th grade registration meeting. I believe it is an advantage for then they can see their weaknesses and work on them to prepare for the next year. Merit scholarships are decided with PSAT scores.

You can't be to out of shape because 1.5miles in 10min is I believe something like 8mph most people are happy with 10min miles. my best time is 6mph and I am working on 7 and it's taken me 5 months to condition for this. Maybe you went to fast and should slow down so you can stay on longer

I did very good when Ilived in GA and CM rep lived across the street. she'd invite me over when the kids were in school and I would get along done. We left in 99 and well.....No interest because it was not as accessible for me. DH gave the scrapbooking deluxe last christmas I did a few pages but no interest. I do make cards when I forget to pick them up.

I know first hand how frustrating this can be. My ds wet the bed until he was 11. We did everythign and I am not sure what exactly worked part he grew out of it, part alarm who knows. Did you try having him be responsible to take off the wet sheets and showhim how to put them in the washing machine? Sometimes this works to. You are not alone. I know there's nothing more frustrating than getting ready to make a bed only to find it saturated not a fun way to start the day.

Anyone else feel they finally watched a episode that didn't leave you hanging?
