She is thrilled to be coming out. She will be with the kids all day since there is no school or day care. She hasn't seen them in 2 1/2 years.View Thread


WOW! 22 years, that's amazing, I've never heard of a pet that old before. It's so hard putting a pet to sleep.
We had to put our cat Katie(who was 13) to sleep when Ryder was 3 and he still talks about her and includes her as one of his siblings. He was very emotional about it for a long time. I know when it's Jakes time both kids will be devasted.
However, when Ryleigh is upset with Jake for some reason she tells me she wants to get rid of Jake and get a puppy. LOL!View Thread

2. How often does DC have homework? We try to get most of it done over the weekend but if not then we do a little everynight.
3. How long does it take DC to do homework?FOREVER!
4. How much do you have to help with homework?It's been less and less lately. He's reading really well so he doesn't need me to read the instuctions to him anymore.
5. At what age do you think DC is responsible for completing homework without your help?Depends on what it is. I think when he gets into harder math and science we'll still be helping.View Thread

I'm a terrible public speaker. I get so nervous and my cheeks turn bright red and I speak really really fast. I should bring this up at our next parent teacher conf to see if they incorporate any speaking in front of the class for the kids.View Thread

Our paper work is out of control and I was going to get a hanging file system to put in our kitchen since that seems to be where all the paper seems to pile up at. I have small desk in the office/playroom but it's so unefficient. I've been waiting for DH to make me a corner desk so I have lots of space and I'm going to put a small filing cabinet under that. And we've really been doing better parenting this weekend, we are using the same techniques that you posted.Good luck!! Hope you accomplish all your goals

We are really working on using alternative words instead of no. Plus we need to stick to what we say. DH is the worst, he keeps saying "I'm gonna do XYZ" if you don't behave and he never follows through.
The hardest part is the listening. DS has to be told something 6 or 7 times before he listens and by the time it gets to that point we are yelling.View Thread

Ugh...makes you feel terrible.He had something similar to me the other day. I yelled at him and he says "Timothy Greens mom never yells at him, I want her for my mom". He is referring to the movie "The Odd Life of Timothy Green" which he loves. I apologized for yelling and it just made me feel so guilty. Geesh, and he's only 7.View Thread
