According to the woman from the camp, a girl was hand talking & turned into my daughter's mouth...knowing my daughter...she had her mouth open. It seems very accidential, but I first need to find out the girls name to really determine.

You asked how are we able to keep our younglings off drugs. Have you seen the movie Trainspotting?

No I do not think I have.

Go rent it and then decide at what age you want your kids to see it.

I think really our experiences as kids along with our kids personality. My oldest is a follow the crowd type but I feel like I still have some influence. My youngest is his own person all the way. It's his way or the highway. He is very logical so for him the idea of putting something in his body that could potentially harm it is just wrong to him. Hope it stays that way.

Sounds like your mom was a very understanding type of mom. I never got grounded as a kid. My mom just beat the crap out of you and being number 7 of 7, I learned early on not to make mom angry. That was my number one deterant for staying out of trouble. That and because my mom never lets you forget your wrong-doings. Even today, she reminds me of putting a golf ball through the new picture window. I was 12. I'm now 38.

I don't think there is any magic formula. I wish there was because I'd buy some.

My mom had never let me live something down, even w/her passing...I still hear her kind reminders of my short comings & wrong doings.

Ok I just got this joke off myspace...

A husband and wife were sitting watching a TV program about psychology when
He turned to his wife and said,
'Honey, I bet you can't tell me something that will make me happy and sad at the same time.


'

She said,
'You have the biggest dick of all your friends.

My oldest child is 18 and I can honestly say he has never drank or smoked and God knows he wouldn't do drugs. I think it has been the fear of getting caught. we live in such a small town that we would know before he got here if he got in trouble. Now my middle child--I don't think she will be a problem--the youngest well ask me in 6 or 7 years. LOL

Good. Been busy putting off doing any classwork since last Thursday. I feel really guilty. I get moody and sometimes I find it hard to stay focused.

All right you guys, rub it in, why don't you? I just posted the worlds longest gripe on never getting husband time and all of you talking like that! LOL! By the way, why are my posts so long, I guess I like to type, it may not be the best but it works.

Tara,

We just got the kids out of the bed about a year ago. My daughter was a NICU baby and woke up every 2 hours to eat until she was 9 months old. I remember one night getting up fixing her a bottle, trying to put the bottle in her mouth and she wouldn't be quiet..needless to say I was giving her the wrong end of the bottle. My baby boy was easier I nursed him and he slept 6 hours a night from the day he was born (It use to scare the crap out of me though because she woke up so much and he didn't heck you couldn't wake him up) Now they sleep together. They each have their own room but, the moved their beds together into one room and put the toys into the other. I figure they will move it back when they get tired of it.

Tara if it makes you fell better....

The first time my husband and I went on a date without a child I was 8 months pregnant with our 2nd child and we flew to New Orleans for our 3 rd wedding anniversary.

Ohhhh and the last time I went out with a bunch of women hmmm In 2006 we took a day off work and my coworkers and I went to the Gulf for a day of shopping drinking and sunbathing

Tara, yes I think it was me. I think I told Robert I had nothing to share about being in trouble. Again, I had a sister that was the out all night type. When she was 18 the drinking age in MI was 18 and it was the late seventies etc. Well I was still rather young but old enough to sneak out of bed at night to sit on the steps while my mom layed into to her when she finally came home. I knew I didn't want that to be me.

Gwen, I'm the same way. I went to school for awhile until I quit to deal with a health issue. It was minor, no big deal but it interferred with classes. I thought I would go back but decided to start my family and had the opportunity to be full time at home. It all worked out well because I've only just found my calling. Everything else I would have done for work up until now would have just been another job. I now know that massage therapy is what I love doing. So, my advice to my kids is to just relax about college. Find something that you love to do and then find a way to do it.

I've been a Physical Therapist Assistant for 13 1/2 years. Right now I do ped's and love the kids but dang--I have the knees of a prostitue or as my oldest child said a secretary (no offense to secretaries). So I want to do something that will give me purpose etc, etc, I thought about Law School but none around here offer 1/2 time. So, God has another plan for me and I just have to be patient

Two summers ago I flew by myself to NC to visit my sister-in-law for the weekend. All I had with me was my carry on bag and my purse. I kept having the feeling that I was forgetting something. It just nagged at me. I knew I had left something behind. Then it dawned on me....I didn't have the kids with me!!

Always that checking to see if you have them, their toy, their blanket, the juice, your purse, your keys etc etc

We flew so many times with them. It is quite the effort to travel through airports with little ones.

When my daughter came home from the hospital we went to Michigan because it was Christmas. When we were leaving Metro the airline security goob gave me a hard time because of the underwire in my bra (this was pre 9/11) Then he gave me a hard time about having the baby's bottles. (We changed planes in Memphis and they had forcasted snow when we landed in Montgomery, AL) now down here they close the roads if it snows so I had extras for delays etc etc. anyway I will never forget how rude the man was.

The other great traveling story. My daughter was just a little over 2 years old and we drove to Michigan for Christmas. Somewhere in Tennessee she had to pee. well, I made her wear a pull up in case and she refused to use it. We had to pull over in the middle of no where and find a lighted yes lighted place for her to pee in the grass because she was afraid of the dark.
