1. How are your gardens coming along?
Great! I did already started plants this year but want to start from seeds next year. I'm also doing mine in pots. I have 3 tomato plants that are going crazy. I had to stake them last night and all have over golf ball size tomatoes on them! Strawberries have quite a few flowers. Some bug has gotten them because some leaves have holes but I sprayed them last week. Sweet pepper plant has flowers too. I'm so excited!
2. How is potty-training coming along?
Not even starting yet. She will be 2 the 26th of this month so I will start sometime after that. I am in no hurry this time. She has some interest so after her birthday we'll start working on it slowly.
3. What's LO's temperament these days?
Comes and goes. She is an angel at times and a devil at times. Getting violent in her outbursts though. Hitting her sister, grabbing my neck when she is mad when I pick her up. A strong no breaks her heart though. Have not done TO but have occasionally set her in her room on the floor if she will not calm down
4. How do you handle discipline?
Oops, see above! Redirection still works for us.
5. What new eco-friendly thing are you up to these days?
I switched laundry detergents! I'm using www.crunchyclean.com and I LOVE it!!! I'm getting used to not smelling detergent when the clothes are clean but I read something recently that the smell is not good for you. Anyway, also drying alot of my clothes outside. Did about 10 loads this weekend and hung over half of it outside. Probably 2/3 I'd say.
6. Have any exciting plans for the summer?
UGH...supposed to leave for Destin, FL next Friday but the oil is supposed to hit Pensacola today or tomorrow and it is only 45 miles from Destin. I'm freaking out. Nothing I can do about it though. Doing some more camping this summer and will officially start my marathon training in 2 weeks. I run 24 miles a week now but will officially log it and work it up in 2 weeks. View Thread

I might call CPS and just see what options we have. A rehab for expectant moms might be perfect.View Thread

Does anyone know, will CPS get involved before the baby is born? Is there any way to report this?
I am so sad for that baby.View Thread

My cousin will be 22 in July. She is an absolute mess. She is a pathological liar. She lies about EVERYTHING. She is a stripper and I think she is an escort too. She did some work for playboy and has a s*x website. I've seen pics that are absolute disgusting. Last year she was getting high by huffing tire cleaner. I saw her on Easter and she was so strung out on something that she could hardly talk. She is about the most immature person I know. Oh and at Easter she got in a fight with another cousin and yelled to the entire family that she was not on illegal drugs she was on 12 different medicines because she has cancer. I *think* from conversations with her sister that she might have had pre-cancer cells in her cervix (I had this at 22 yrs old). She posted on her FB page on May 17 that she had surgery and yesterday she posted that she is 5 weeks pg. GREAT! UGH!
Okay, rant over. I'm very sad about this. I pray that if this is true that she matures and becomes a good mother but I don't see how that can happen. I'm so sad.
Oh, and for the record...I do not judge her line of work. It's not my life.View Thread
