If it has anything to do with kids and parenting, take my advice and DO NOT POST.

Too Late

The next movies I have coming from netflix are "The Libertine" and "The Wild." Did you crazy cats ever see these?

And when do you have time for movies any more??

I'm lucky enough to be alive to tell the tale. DH and I (before kids) tried to drive too long without enough sleep. I dozed off at the wheel and wrecked the car (woke up as I was running off the road, overcorrected and spun around and off the road.) Luckily we were OK.

Glad you made it out ok. I remember pulling over for cat naps when I would drive to school and was exhausted. A 5 minute "snooze" can go a long way.

Todd,

I do not know your son, but I am very proud of him, and how he has handled himself. Sure he messed up, but he appologized and is handling his punishment. A tough lesson learned!
It sounds like you are doing a dandy job raising your young pirates!

I try ...thats all I can do ..DS is at the age now that he has to understand that bad choices come with consequences ...

I have a question about this group therapy. Will banana shock treatments be available?

A husband and wife were getting ready for bed one evening.
"Honey," the fellow asked, "do you want to have make love tonight?"
"No dear, not tonight," she replied.
"Is that your final answer?"
"Yes, that is my final answer!"
"In that case," he said, "may I phone a friend

Bad Becka! Bad, bad Becka!

You would like to see me with a whip...wouldn't you...you crazy girl!

 

[pyramid2000]

OK which one of you was this?

I missed you Becka!!

DH just brought some laundry in and sat down on the couch. Then I hear "Ewww now I know why there was all this fluff". When DH put the laundry in he just grabbed out of the basket and did not pay attention so he ended up washing AND drying a used pull up! Nathan must have tossed it in there when he was getting undressed one morning! Gross!

Reason #1 why I don't let DH touch the laundry!

ok, I am officially caught up. That took awhile! I am in the hotel in Norfolk. My flight here was uneventful, a few minutes early even. Tomorrow I pick up my friend who is flying in from Louisiana, then we'll drive over to Nags Head for our girls beach house weekend. So excited!

Have a great weekend Tana!!

Dead serious. DS will eat chicken nuggets & tenders, beef hotdogs, and pizza with cheese & pepperoni. That is basically it for main foods. For lunch he has a nutrigrain bar, pretzles, and fruit snacks. He wont eat cheese, bread, noodles, fruit, or vegies. The only fruit product he will touch is apple sauce on occasion. He does like biscuits & garlic toast. The only dairy he will eat is yogurt & that has dropped off considerably. Another thing that I have to make sure of is that NOTHING except what he will eat is on the plate. I have to tell them to leave the vegies off on the ship or he wont touch any of it.


Giona also eats poorly. and Jaea eats everything including sushi and many foods that I don't even eat.

Giona lives on carbs which I think is very bad - too much sugar. He eats pasta, bread. milk and yogurt. We talk about the 5 a day all the time and sometimes I can get him to eat one fruit or vegetable.

I can't really figure it out. Some of it is laziness, he has some issues with texture. and he also does not like his plate too crowded or too many choices.
He seems to function better with this narrower group of choices.

He was sick for several weeks over the summer and lost several pounds and we just can't get it back on. Before he got sick, I found that gap 5 slim pants fit him and now even those are too big in the waist and he will be 6 in Jan. He is wearing too short size 4 pants which he doesn't even have to unsnap to get on.

I talked to his dr. about it but you can tell their training includes nothing about nutrition. She suggested asparagus because it is sweet. I would really like to do something because I feel it will improve his overall health, stamina and performance at school.

It's very stressful because the rest of us like ethnic foods but his diet is so bland we end up not eating what we want to.

And somehow we have been convinced that it is the food at WDW that has made our children obese. One of our elementary schools does not allow running either.

My kids are in K and they rarely get out to the playground. With the half day curriculum they have so much to cover that I think it just does not happen. But the kids would probably learn better if they had some downtime.

I think school cafeteria food is probably similar to WDW = salty, fried, prepared foods, canned vegetables etc.
