Renai Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Kegels are not a guarantee of preventing incontinence, either. Hab It - Pelvic Floor is a good program though. It doesn't just exercise those muscles, but the ones around it, and I found it helped a lot. http://www.amazon.com/Hab-Pelvic-Floor-Tasha-Mulligan/dp/0510539610/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1430610367&sr=8-1&keywords=hab+it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJ Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I did Insanity Max:30 as soon as they took kid 5 off for his first bath. Vaginal births are easy peasy, baby. Well, and I'm awesome too. There's that. Not for me, unfortunately. I tried for 10 days (yes, 10 days of on-again-off-again labor). Hence, c-sections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I've got news for you -- I had c-sections and I still have stress incontinence. A c-section is no guarantee that you will not develop that little problem. This does not make slashaboo happy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 That's awkward. I still remember on the People's Court years ago there was this black dude being sued. It made no sense because he was the one that got bit by the Plaintiff's dog. Judge asked the defendant what did he do when the dog bit him. He answered emphatically, "I bit him right back!" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So now back to cleaning the kids' bedroom and sorting their clothes. Must be in the air. We just got home from a wine tasting and there was a man in attendance in full Scottish regalia.

JoJosMom Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Thanks. It is SO HARD to keep up my perfection. I slip sometimes. I would never go after you like that though. I am not the English language...

JoJosMom Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Okay. I realize I've worked a little too much with CC lately, but I have to tell you that it does not have standards for life skills. It is either math or ELA, which are both used in life skills. Thus, one would write the plan this way: LotsofLittleDucklings lesson plan for Grade 2 field trip to Dunkin' Donuts: Math Operations and Algebraic thinking CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.OA.B.2 Fluently add and subtract within 20 using mental strategies.2 By end of Grade 2, know from memory all sums of two one-digit numbers. (Example: If a dozen donuts is $10, and we add mommy's special latte of $5, how much did mommy just spend?) The above example will also work for: Number and Operations in Base Ten CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.NBT.B.8 Mentally add 10 or 100 to a given number 100-900, and mentally subtract 10 or 100 from a given number 100-900. Geometry CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.G.A.1 Recognize and draw shapes having specified attributes, such as a given number of angles or a given number of equal faces.1 Identify triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, and cubes. (Example: How many angles (or faces) does the donut box have? What shape is that?) For enrichment, use said donut box and mentioned above and the donuts themselves for the following activities: CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.G.A.2 Partition a rectangle into rows and columns of same-size squares and count to find the total number of them. CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.G.A.3 Partition circles and rectangles into two, three, or four equal shares, describe the shares using the words halves, thirds, half of, a third of, etc., and describe the whole as two halves, three thirds, four fourths. Recognize that equal shares of identical wholes need not have the same shape. See? Easy peasy. Do what you want, then slap standards on them. Do the same for the ELA. Works like a charm. Who needs cc-specified curriculum? YAY! I nominate Renai to be the official curriculum planner of the Ignore-amus-es. My DD is starting eight grade in the fall, so you have a few months to get it together. Go! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Fun fact: This is the FOURTH time my man has had stitches. He was treated for pyloric stanosis at 2 months. Worst night of my life. I didn't realize he had stitched. I just remember starving him all that night before surgery while I smelt like breast milk. If you ever have to starve a baby make the boobless parent stay with him. It didn't even dawn on us how cruel it was when Matt left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Lynn Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Ds did break his arm once when he was 6 but that mostly my fault. He was zooming like he always did but I had put down a slippery open sleeping bag on the floor and he went down hard. Breaking bones sound like cracking dry spaghetti btw. If I didn't go into crisis management mode I would have barfed. at that sound. I wanted to like this because "crisis management mode." Yeah - that's what super moms do! But, then, I didn't want to like it because OUCH! The only time one of mine has had stitches, it was on his head, just into the hairline. Thankfully one of the other moms was a nurse and knew it needed stitches and told me which of the two closest hospitals to go to, so I didn't have to think. Afterwards, friends said I was calm, actually I was just inexperienced, lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lots of little ducklings Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 DENTAL ALERT The side. It's grey and is being removed soon. It keeps coming off in little chunks.

AMJ Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Umm, texasmama? You have a Great Pyrenees, right? Umm, Pyrs bark. A lot. But you are mistaken about the whole "no reason" thing. You see, apparently your homestead was targeted by marauding Huns in the wee hours. Your noble canine's exquisite sense of hearing detected the gathering hordes, and her thundering sounds of warning frightened them off. Or maybe it was a neighbor's cat. But you know how dangerous cats are, right? In either case, you and your family survived the night, now didn't you? All because of the brave dog who stayed awake all night defending you and yours. So leave her alone to sleep on the couch all day, okay? They do? Pyrs bark? I don't think we ever heard the sheep-guarding ones bark....

texasmama Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 They do? Pyrs bark? I don't think we ever heard the sheep-guarding ones bark....Their bark is their first line of defense. They do not waste a bark and they do not bark out of excitement like other dogs. They just bark if they perceive a threat. And they perceive a lot of threats. :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
