Lent(not to be confused with Lynt) - Is it a catholic tradition? I'm Southern Baptist, we don't do Lent, although the idea behind it is very nice and sacrificial.
Thanks MommyP, you do ask goog questions!
I'm Church of Christ and don't do Lent either, so I'm a bit confuzzled as well.
Birth Center - Holy freakin cow! That place is like walking into home. Beautiful and cozy. LOVED it! We both immediately felt at home and comfortable. The midwife was super nice and very REAL. I hate that the midwives at the hospital are like OB's without the scalpel and they don't ever say anything against the hospital. I agreed with everything she said and I cannot WAIT for my first appointment.
The tour was us, another couple and a young girl who brought along her friends/sisters(?). I had about 18 questions written down, they had none. LOL. After I asked a ton, the midwife asked if anyone else had a question and the young girl turned to me and said,"do you have anymore, you have such good questions)"

I have a u/s on March 12th, but I might try and change it to a late afternoon so Chad can meet me up there and be there. My first appointment is on March 18th. So long because I want to go in the evenings so Chad can come this time.

The website is:

Wow, that is a nice place. Are you planning on doing a water birth? I admire you for doing the birth center. I was too nervous to do that, but I had BAD blood pressure issues, and needed monitors, and drugs to keep me safe, and still in this world.

That's why I only have two children.
Extra thoughts - fingers crossed for a beurk free martha household.
congrats on the grades, mony.
allie is the southern martha.
note to mommyp: Apparently I'm dating zero boys. I dunno.
Uh, Thanks, but Martha I am NOT!

Although, I'm honored that you think I am.
I have two words for you guys:
Oreo Balls
I am in love
LOVE THEM TOO!!!!
Ok, let Ms. Allie give you mama's of preschool children a tip! Do NOT send colored frosted cupcakes with your darlings to school for their birthday!

Especially if the frosting is in the RED color group! Let's just say that Ms. Allie earned her money today!

Oh, and my hands are red along with the children who ate the red AND the purple ones. They are a huge mess!!!!!! BUT the children absolutely enjoyed them, so at the end of the day it was good. I'm just exhausted though.
Oh, and I got some great pictures of the kids before we cleaned them up. They will make great additions to their memory posters we make for them at the end of the year. One of our shyest little boys looked like Bozo the clown because he had so much red frosting on his face!
Oh, and one little girl colored on my wall while I was using the potty. One of the teachers came and told us that our water line had accidentally been cut, and if we needed to potty we should do it soon before the water was cut off. Well, I went, and shut the doors somewhat so that the kids couldn't see Ms. Allie going potty.

Well, bad idea because when I stepped out of said potty I noticed nice orange crayon markings on the wall.

I don't know how those buggers did it so fast!

So, I'm going up to church early tonight with my Mr. Clean eraser to clean it off the wall before church tonight.
Have a Good Day Moovers!!!
