hi all. it is coooooold and raw here courtesy of a bitter wind... blew my sunglasses and hat across the road. blew papers and coupons out of my purse. and nearly sent a bag of freshly baked croissants flying. EEK!

gt woot on the hearing aid for your DH. you know he should start writing journal entries ASAP about this new life with sound and then turn them into a book. would be a fascinating read and I bet his insights and impressions would make it a bestseller.

and maybe DD can do the other half of the book. one of those upside down book things that meet in the middle. one half from one viewpoint. turn over the book and start reading from the other end and a different viewpoint.

i'm very sound sensitive -- a little like your DD -- and much more so when in the throes of a migraine. the car turn signal was getting me all antsy just this morning. spoons in bowls, chips in mouths, even faucet running when washing dishes drives me crazy.

yep. totally agree.

we never buy that stuff anymore. it's amazing how you don't think about it/crave it once you get used to not eating it. organic whole wheat bread without HFCS, preservatives or additives only over here. and bread like that is very, very filling. too filling almost.

Not only am I jealous that you have an awesome new table for your dining room... I'm equally jealous that you have space for an awesome new table in your dining room. LMAO


For the rest of the house, DH and I try to act like civilized adults/parents w/curtains (and usually blinds, too) on all the windows... except our bedroom. That's where we go totally old-school college-apt w/the dual[B] Bob Marley tapestries push-pinned into the window frame. laugh out loud Cool


I was thinking the same thing... It would be pretty easy to do loft beds w/desk or futon underneath, but I don't know about all that extra storage. Dontknow

I remember turning 13 and my b-day present was a "new" room. I got to paint it two shades of purple, got a phone line (not my own, just the extra jack -- remember those days? laugh out loud), a very old 20" TV .... and a bunk bed w/a futon on the bottom.

Man, did I think I was cool... LMAO
Okay now theres a sex killer for ya !

I just realized that Ana White is the lady that runs the knock-off wood blog. This summer we built this bed for our boys.

http://ana-white.com/2010/05/furn...t-bed.html

We made the beds a little higher off the floor to allow for them to use the beds longer. The 8 yr old's bed is 48 inches off the floor, 3 yr old's is 42.



monkey toddler helping with` the bed



dh and the oldest putting in slats




cathi, the puff pan didn't come in a box, it had a strip of cardboard sleeve down the middle. No space for a booklet. I know I was expecting to have at least one recipe. I even checked their site and couldn't find the pan on the Nordicware site at all.

Thanks! Figures I didn't look hard enough. Google found nothing when I tried that. Embarrassment

For some reason, makes me want those to make Swedish rosettes like my mom used to make for Christmas.

Mama, you need to jump on that ,the kids are already having sex at that age, and hearing all kinds of weird stuff from their friends.

He is Jersey schools ? I think he might have already see "the video " .
You need to explain in to him in a way that reflects your values and not the school system take on it.

Can the male in the house talk to him ?
I know! and its so nasty to think of little kids his age doing it vomit We moved here for his 6th grade year and now hes in 7th. Nope, No other male in the house besides his little brother..lol

Quote from setsail :
Loiuse, if your son is 12, in public school, he already knows. Your duty now is to give him correct information. hug I know it's hard.
I know that hes seen something in school about it but not exactly sure what is in the videos. I dont remeber any of that from when I was in school.
I'm gonna try to talk to him this weekend!! Pray for me ..lol

Quote from gt6mk31 :
Several years back my sister just in general conversation asked her twenty something son what he was doing that night. He told her that he and some friends were going to a Gentleman's Club. She thought that sounded really nice and asked him if he had something appropriate to wear. Did he need a sport coat? LMAO

And all this talk about parts and kids and stuff keeps making me think of my son. He was probably 15 or so and was being typically mouthy so I proceeded to say to him, "what did your father tell you?" He looked me straight in the eye and said,"Keep your snake in it's cage". BigeyeLMAO Didn't even crack a smile.
OMG! lol

Good luck, I know it sounds kinda cheesy but is there a library where you can get a book on how to talk to him, or do you or he have a trusted male adult friend that could talk to him , running said talk by you first of course . A youth pastor that's kinda cool and not to preachy , that will be be well received. ?

Great idea! We have the My Body Book for Girls from American Girl books, bought a copy for each girl when they were 8. I need to look for something for ds because he's 8 now...

Quote from smegalicious :
Just IMHO, you might want to be careful about reacting so strongly to, what to him, is likely just an innocent question. The whole "forbidden fruit" thing... If it's that *bad*, it might also become that much more intriguing and interesting, and if he knows that he's not going to get the "real" answers from Mom, he might turn to a different source.

The sad fact is, you'll never be "ready". Just as you'll never be "ready" for him to drive a car, go off to college, get married, or do any of the other grown-up things that make mommies so happy and so sad at the same time. laugh out loud

Think of it this way.... Are you ready for him to be a daddy at 16? Bigeye Nono
No way, i was a mommy @ 17 and I wouldnt wish it on anyone! Gonna have a talk with his this weekend. I just dont know how much to tell him Confused

Tell All again at that age he probably knows anyway. Maybe you could ask him what he knows , and if he knows of any friends or classmates are having sex or experimeting and go from there. Peer pressure is not to be underestimated and that. includes coming from girls. Boys if they are raised as feeling creatures are not immune to the emotional aspects of early sex., and subsequent breakups.


Oh mama , I will scour the internet looking for some age approriate material .

Here is a good general article , a couple of places recommend buying him a book and having him read it ad then discusiing it with him

Quote from love2beeamom :
Awe, I just checked the house party site and got rejected for another party. This one was the one my DH really wanted me to get in on.. A playstation thing.. He had such high hopes I would get in and he would get some free stuff. I have always wondered how they really choose people. I can't complain, I have gotten in on several parties, but some have been much better than others! Some of the party packages have been awesome, while others are not even close.
I know there is probably a thread somewhere, but where is the houseparty site at? TIA!

Quote from TheGh0st :
I grew up on pancakes made from 50/50 plain Jane pancake mix and Jiffy corn bread mix. Makes a thicker batter that has just a slight crunch to it.
I use a 50/50 mix of Jiffy Corn bread mix and yellow cake mix for some awesome corn bread muffins. They taste like Boston Market's.

Quote from ank220 :
*snip*

I have a high sensitivity to noise and have suffered headaches for a most of my life. The weird thing is that there are things that I actually *can't* hear. I am not sure how to explain it really, but it is frustrating. I can be talking to someone and not hear/understand half their words, etc... Yet, at the same time, the tick of a clock or the sound of a pencil writing can grate on my nerves so badly that I want to scream. And there are times my eardrums hurt. *shrug* Go figure.
My DH is the same way. There is some things that he keeps saying, "do you hear that?" and none of us can. But there is something about the tone (level?) of my voice (and other people's) that he can't hear right (that's not a "my DH doesn't listen to me", there is really something about that level of tone that he can't hear well).

Quote from mama2cole :
You guys are cracking me up with all the body part talk. We use the real names for body parts around here. But I will tell you that DS calls it his pee-a$$. I have no idea where that came from, maybe just his way of pronouncing it. Cracks me up EVERY time he says it.

Off to fold laundry. Wave
My DS used to call breasts "no-no's" I don't know where he got that from, he started calling them that while he was still bf'ing (did till 18 mo.), so that certainly wasn't taught to him.

Did the TV weigh more than you? laugh out loud I had the same thing, except I got a new bedroom in the basement. I got the old console TV from the living room though.

Makes me want to have Lefsa. That may end up a weekend project for me, I haven't made it in years.

I have the pancake puff pan, my DD wanted it so bad, and they were on clearance last year at Target. This was the "made for TV" one that is cast iron. We used it a few times, but wasn't too impressed with it. Maybe I just didn't have any good recipes for it. Dontknow
