Reply to Obnoxious Habits of a 4 year old. in Blogging JoeUser Forums

it's having him tell me "I dont' like that" when I KNOW that he either never touched it or he loved it last time I made it. boy, don't i know it! i think my kids only have one appetite between them, if one kid eats the others don't feel the need to. good thing they take turns on who's eating!<

Reply to Would you? Could you? Should you? in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Having a large family is tough enough when everyone is healthy. Throw in the challenge of moving every two years and the "tough" goes up alot. But stopping at 2 or 3 would mean I never would have met Mamielady or Boogie. That would have been a more terrible hardship than caring for a disabled child. aww

Reply to A vote for Monogomy in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Gideon, I agree with you. Of course my family has the right to make their own choices. I never suggested that they seek my approval for their decisions and I never would. The point I was making was that the things they do choose effect me. As a wife, mother, daughter, sister, citizen, etc. there is hardly a choice I make that doesn't effect someone else. Maybe my example was too personal. If some one in a hurry chooses to run

Reply to A vote for Monogomy in Current Events JoeUser Forums

my two cents on how other people's choices effect me: I am raising 3 ( soon to be 4) children in a family where my siblings and siblings-in-law make choices and choose lifestyles that I don't care to participate in and that i would teach my children not to participate in. This puts me in the unpleasant situation of being accepting and loving of my siblings, despite their choices, while also trying to teach my children differently. I do love

hey, when you come to visit will you help me put a linen cupboard in my upstairs hall? I know you'll only be here a couple of days, but if you can redo a whole bathroom in such little time, it should be no sweat for you!

Reply to So what IS the spanish word for oatmeal? in Business JoeUser Forums

my kids make up Spanish words, too. and then when I correct them (if I know the word) they look at me like I'm the one who just made up a foreign word. they get a lot of their Spanish from Dora. She has a puppy named Perrito (Spanish for puppy), but my boy thinks his name is Burrito. personally, I think Burrito is a better name for a dog than Puppy.

when i was a fly lady all i did was [ U]sweep[/U ] my porch. i thought i was doing pretty good. and beware the magic eraser - it's addictive. i still hope to get back on the fly lady routine, but there's no way i'm wearing shoes. it is a nice feeling to have a shiny sink, though.

Reply to Change your Attitude in 1 easy step in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

i don't like it when my house is too clean, not that it gets that way very often. but when the house is sparkly and fresh i don't want to get it messy, and so i avoid doing any hobbies or fun stuff with the kids. so a too clean house is stifling to my creativity. and we can't have that. i understand your frustration. my husband spent the weekend cleaning the whole house (i haven't done much cleaning lately because of the morning sickness -

Reply to Quit falling Apart! in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

i have a long list of fixes i need to do as well. my favorite is the toilet tank in the master bath. a chunk of the porcelain above the handle fell out and there is a hairline fracture from the handle down the length of the tank! i know i should replace it quick, but there is a bit of a morbid curiosity involved . . . how long can it hold out? don't despair. it's all part of the joy of owning a home!

Reply to A Rose by any other name.... in Blogging JoeUser Forums

no fair, you took mine in your blog. unfortunately with the last name Cox there are some real names you just can't go anywhere near; Ophelia, Harry, etc. I really wanted to name a boy with my maiden name Stone, but that is out for sure. but I wanted to tell you, I went to school with a girl named April May June. too cute, don't you think?
