A little, I don't think there is really such a thing with kidlets, kwim?

Well, sometimes you can... depends on the kidlets! I decided long ago that they WOULD take naps, or at least quiet time in their room for an hour or two every afternoon... lasted till they were 6 anyway. Now they know that the better behave when mom needs her quiet time or mom will send them to bed EARLY. Mean old mom...

Thankful that mine were the napping kind... big time!

Just browsing ebay, I cannot believe how people can charge so much for shipping, someone was selling a coupon for Gymboree and wanted to charge $10 for shipping to Canada, a stamp is all it would take!!!!

I am a very lucky mother as well, I have very well behaved kidlets too. However they are busy ones with their activities and school work and friends and wanting to play outside so no rest for the wicked.

For the Canadians in the bunch, thought this was funny..........

A Little Canadian Humor,
Here is what Jeff Foxworthy has to say about Canucks.

If your local Dairy Queen is closed from
September through May,
You may live in Canada.

If someone in a Home Depot store
Offers you assistance and they don't work there,
You may live in Canada.

If you've worn shorts and a parka at the same time,
You may live in Canada.

If you've had a lengthy telephone conversation
With someone who dialed a wrong number,
You may live in Canada.

If 'Vacation' means going anywhere
South of Detroit for the weekend,
You may live in Canada.

If you measure distance in hours,
You may live in Canada.

If you know several people
Who have hit a deer more than once,
You may live in Canada.

If you have switched from 'heat' to 'A/C'
In the same day and back again,
You may live in Canada.

If you can drive 90 km/hr through 2 feet of snow
During a raging blizzard without flinching,
You may live in Canada.

If you install security lights on your house and garage,
But leave both unlocked,
You may live in Canada.

If you carry jumpers in your car
And your wife knows how to use them,
You may live in Canada.

If you design your kid's Halloween costume
To fit over a snowsuit,
You may live in Canada.

If the speed limit on the highway is 80 km --
You're going 90 and everybody is passing you,
You may live in Canada.

If driving is better in the winter
Because the potholes are filled with snow,
You may live in Canada.

If you know all 4 seasons:
Almost winter, winter, still winter,
And road construction,
You may live in Canada.

If you have more miles
On your snow blower than your car,
You may live in Canada.

If you find 2 degrees 'a little chilly',
You may live in Canada.

Good for you, makes me crazy, any time I sell on ebay I always advertise "Actual Shipping Charges" nothing inflated.
