I'm crossing my fingers you go before the 1st. After my first experience with pitocin, I nearly kicked my doctor in the face at the mere mention of it the second time around.

Can the groom perform the marriage, too? If so, we're set!

Non-religious. Not anti-religious, but no mention of religions or God at all. I'm Buddhist and he's Humanist, so we're just leaving it out all together and focusing on the actual marriage part. lol. I hadn't, actually! I'll send him a PM. ♥ (Though, I saw you responded and kinda hoped you were going to say that you're ordained. )

Does anyone know anyone who can perform a wedding in April? Other than TBAR - he apparently has more important things to do. So picking on him. But really, I kinda need someone to perform the service.

Mini-Me did Speech Therapy through Babies Can't Wait (as well as behavioral and sensory thearpy). Just talk to his pediatrician about his speech, and have him/her write a referral to BCW, and they will come and do an evaluation. ♥ After the evaluation, they'll sit with you and determine exactly what therapy needs to be done. For the therapy, they will also come to your home (or daycare, if he's in daycare). We had therapists in and out of our house three times a week. (Now, she doesn't shut up. )

No joke.

Ooooh, the bolded are my BIGGEST pet peeves. Mini-Me says it about half the time...I'm not sure I could beat it into her head if I wanted to. OH's kids don't say it at all, but all I have to do is look at them when they pop off with 'What?' and they immediately change it to 'Ma'am?'. lol. I was spanked maybe 3-4 times by my step-dad. Around there somewhere, anyway. My dad never once touched me. My step-mom whopped at me with Hot Wheels race tracks so often I still cringe at the sight of them. My mom was most definitely a spanker as well. Who did I listen to the most? My dads. With th

Well I tried to attach the picture again, but it didn't work. lol It was hilarious! Mr Turner just gave me his infamous eye-roll face and stood outside of his office door laughing at us and yelling 'Be careful, it's slick!' while we played in it and threw bubbles everywhere. aha! Worked this time!

That might make sense if one of the guys didn't get an email about a broken ankle that happened after the guy died. So weird.

I screwed up. Badly. Daddy got me out of it. (Daddy is a police officer). I never, ever did anything remotely that stupid or illegal EVER again. My cousin screwed up. Also badly. Daddy got him out of it. He repeated aforementioned screwing up not once, but five or six times (knowing good and well he had used his one get-out-of-jail-free card). Some kids really do learn the first time. Those who don't would wind up back in the system anyway. Now, by 'got me out of it', I simply mean I don't have a record. I, by no means whatsoever, mean that I didn't get in t

A DUI endangers someone else's life. Taking the chance at doing something that can't be fixed, repaired, replaced, or paid back is something entirely different. ...and I just realized that you can get a felony for something fixable, but a misdemeanor for threatening the lives of others. That's just a bit ludicrous. If you're going to compare, compare a drug conviction, burglary, or something whose consequences don't have the potential for death.

<<-- guilty! Honor Roll Student, FCA Member, JROTC Cadet, and worked. I was always that sweet, polite kid that the teachers praised and other parents complimented mine on having such well-behaved, good kids. I absolutely did several things my parents never would have dreamed of, still don't know about, and most certainly could have been arrested for.

.......... I can think of half-a-dozen serial killers whose parents thought the same thing. Hope you're not one of the unfortunate parents of any of these future statistics: http://parentingteens.about.com/cs/familylife/a/statistics.htm

Personally, I'm conflicted about it. We still treat kids like kids and tell them that they're 'not adults' at 17/18 in high school, but then we charge them as adults when they act like idiots. It's our fault when they do something stupid because we're the parents and it's not the government's job, but we're supposed to let the government punish them instead of us. Do I think they need jail time? Absolutely. I'd have left my kid in overnight, if not some of the next day as well, simply so she/he knows mommy isn't going to always be capable of coming running to get her/him out of trouble. A

The only thing that makes me cringe at them getting a felony is the fact that they will be forever ineligible for Financial Aid. No Hope Scholarship, Pell, Hope Grant, or Student Loans. Zip. Zero. Alot of people don't know this, but from working in Financial Aid I can't tell you how many late 20-30 year olds were perfectly good, honest, hard-working citizens who screwed up in their late teens and still paying for it. This. This is why we need to beat into our kids heads that things like this are not cool.

Class of 2003 Senior Prank - Mr. Turner himself took this picture of me, as he shook his head and laughed, and simply told me to watch my step because the walkways were slick. I miss when kids were still kids and not asshats.

I was going to call you, but I can just post here - do you have more room? I have five or six garbage bags of clothes, purses, and shoes. BUUUUT...it's all Juniors stuff, and I know you run short on Juniors donations. My size, cutesy stuff. I just decided to finally let the man have half of the closet and downsized my wardrobe.

Pictures from the party of the rest of the 'stuff' I made, and the birthday boy covered in cake. I can't believe he will be one on Monday.

I much, MUCH prefer Allatoona Dam. But I didn't just tell you that...because I generally like the peace and quiet there.

That. That took me a failed marriage, and then another failed serious relationship to figure out. Shortly after the failed relationship, I had a sit-down, come-to-Jesus kind of talk with an old, old friend and this is what he got into my head. Wouldn't you know...I'm now marrying that friend. Nothing makes me smile more than, at the beginning of what would have been an entire three-day blow-up fight with either of the exes, he simply says 'Teamwork, babe, teamwork!'

Thanks! Last night we also made rainbow striped rice krispie treats and rainbow layered Jello/yogurt. Then today I dyed ditalini noodles in every color known to man to make pasta bead necklaces with the kids during the party, and am in the middle of making rainbow layered fudge. I need my Susie Homemaker hat now.

I was a tea addict, until I had to start being picky about what I drank while breastfeeding.I've been slowly picking the addiction up again. 1 tsp Gingko Biloba 1 tsp Ginseng 1 tsp Peppermint ^^ that one is one of my favorites. I really, really miss my fennel tea that I drank while breastfeeding to increase milk supply. I'm scared to drink it now, but it was oh-so-good with a dollop of locally grown honey.

When I went to bed (at 4am...thanks for all the entertainment last night. ), it definitely looked like a unicorn puked all over my kitchen. Woke up, cleaned up the mess, and am now working on fudge. Here's the rainbow-cake-in-a-jar! I used applesauce instead of eggs and oil. I still have about 8 more to do, because I ran out of applesauce. They are ridiculously moist and yummy!

If you go to the playground, there's a gate. Walk around that gate and just head straight until you're on the paved path. Go one or two light poles, and there's a trail entrance on the right.
