Another Lynn Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 The bullying thread is disgusting. I think I'd be tempted to punch the principal every time my kid gets punched and see if the problem gets solved a little faster. Me too! My blood pressure is up from just reading it. And in her shoes I would tell dh where he could go. Viewing homeschooling that way is pretty backwards and not real world, imnsho. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hair looks terrible because I didn't have time to dry it between shower and school. Which means I'll need to wash it and start over tomorrow. Bummer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it takes him a few hours or days to agree, but he always does. I'm lucky. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can do nothing with it, but it's easy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I need to break out our Foldscope tonight for something different. Foldscope and art class. And German. Because foreign language. No math or grammar. I'm fairly certain DS will be onboard with this plan. Time to make the donuts. Have a good day everyone.

Openhearted Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I am strictly wash and drip dry. Me too. So a long story about myself, and you all will realize how crazy I am. So a year ago this past weekend, I shaved my head. Yeah, seriously, I did. My mom had went off her meds for bipolar for a month or so and was in a complete manic episode. She had lice, and I didn't know it. So I was trying to get her cleaned up and into an emergency psych hold when it was discovered. I was treated her for lice, took her to the ER, and they admitted her. I ended up with lice and tried everything under the sun for a week to get rid of them: over the counter treatment, metal combs, olive oil, mayonnaise, you name it. I kept my hair up, it was longish, so I wouldn't spread it to the children, especially the girls. They have really long hair. After trying for so long with no results, I had DH shave my head with the clippers. All of it gone. But I got rid of the lice.:) I have to say I was probably temporarily insane at the time because I had been dealing with my mom all summer and trying to get her help. We had to wait until she became a danger to herself and/or others. I just wanted rid of the lice, and I didn't want anyone else to get them. I wore pretty scarves and bandanas for about 3 months. DH called me Demi (Moore) and then Halle (Berry). Now my hair is about 6-8 inches long. I am kinda amazed at how fast it has grown. So please don't disown me for my extreme behavior. And I promise not to give advise for how to get rid of lice.:D 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lots of little ducklings Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Ikslo - Take a few days off when you can. Also, quit it with the h. It will help. Renai - Wait till November. Keep the h Ikslo. It makes everything a bit classier, and inspires motivation. Like throwing on a trendy top and scarf, instead of staying in the yoga pants and braless cami you've worn for 72 hours straight. You can do this!!

Jean in Newcastle Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 So please don't disown me for my extreme behavior. And I promise not to give advise for how to get rid of lice. :D I have seriously thought of shaving my head. Not for lice. But because I still have the soft fine wispy hair I had when I was two. I thought that perhaps shaving my head would make me grow a full thick mane like I've always dreamed off. But with my luck it would come back in patches. So I do nothing. Except wash and drip dry. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texasmama Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) (Avoiding bullying thread because I have enough bad stuff in my head. :leaving: ) I have a random confession to make. I am so nervous on busy streets, and I hate crowded parking lots. I feel like I will probably run into a car or a person. I think I would be pretty happy if I never drove again as long as someone could take me where I want to go, which is evidently the grocery store and church. :mellow: Jean, I made my doctor's appointment. Please be proud of me. It took all I had to drive there and drop off the paperwork. :lol: Edited May 20, 2016 by texasmama 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texasmama Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) I have an aloe vera plant that a friend gave me as a housewarming gift when I was pg with a kid. It survived everything for 15 years. The kitten has killed it, I think. Knocked it off again at lunch because I sprayed her when she tried to eat the parrot. Don't ask. A kid put the plastic holder in the oven with the metal thingie. That was bad. Now we are all plastic poisoned from the fumes. Strike two for the parrot because they are sensitive to the fumes. Oldest has met a young man. I am evaluating him for worthiness and will get back to you all on it. (Eh, he passes so far...)
