How to deal with fears? by
Andrea
I know that childhood fears start popping up around this age (3 1/2 next
month), but one of my twins is taking it to the extreme. Madison will not go
into any room by herself until someone goes in & turns the light on for her,
even in the middle of the day. She says there are monsters everywhere. ...

First trip to the ER for Madison by
Andrea
Within the past week or so I had mentioned to a couple people I know that I was
surprised we have not had to take Madison to the ER for stiches or a broken
bone, because she is such a little monkey. Well, I should have kept my big
mouth shut because that's where we ended up last night.
She must...

Dealing with death by
Andrea
Hi Everyone-
Last month our precious Lab died suddenly while the girls and I were in
Virginia visiting my parents. We are not really sure what happened to her. She
was almost 10 years old, which is kind of old for a Lab, but not ancient. DH
said that she stopped eating her food a couple days...

First Day at Work by
Andrea
Today was my first day back at work in over 4 years. It was just horrible. I
almost broke down in tears several times throughout the day. I loved being a
SAHM and I'm just having a hard time making the transition. I was at work for
11 hours today because I have so much to get done before the kids...

Getting into Things at 4....Help! by
Andrea
I swear I posted a similar post to this when my kids were around 1 1/2 - 2 and
now here I am again at age 4. My girls, Jordan especially, have been getting
into *everything* lately. I thought that by age 4 they would be over this by
now, but they seem to have regressed lately. This weekend Jordan...

Adjustment Problems...please help by
Andrea
Madison has been having a difficult time with me going back to work and I don't
know how to help her to deal with it better. She has tantrums constantly over
every little thing. If I tell her to get dressed she falls on the floor and has
a tantrum. Trying to get her to clean up her toys is a total...

Family vehicle...Pilot vs. Sequoia?? by
Andrea
Hi Everyone-
My poor old minivan is worn out and I'm trying to decide what kind of vehicle
to buy. I want to get an SUV that will seat at least 6. My van just doesn't do
well on these country roads around here, that's why I'm looking to replace it
with an SUV. I'm looking at the Honda Pilot and...

I need some suggestions of things I can pack in the girls' lunchboxes. I am
tired of making PB&J sandwiches and I think they are finally getting tired of

How much sleep for 4 yr. olds? by
Andrea
My girls used to need at least 13 hours of sleep per night, but recently they
have started waking up after about 9 or 10 hours of sleep on most days. They
used to sleep in late (8:30-10:00 am), but now Madison is usually up before
7:00 and Jordan wakes up shortly after that. It doesn't seem to...

Sassy Mouths by
Andrea
Hi Everyone-
My girls have been so sassy lately and it's driving me nuts. They started
about 2 months ago. It's not so much what they say as how they say it. They
also refuse to use "please" when they're being sassy. When they make demands I
tell them to change their tone and say "please." ...

OT Blackout by
Andrea
I hope all the people on this ng who were effected by the blackout are back

My girls still talk about the time the lights went out for an hour, so I can
imagine what an impression the blackout would make on children. :)

First day of school.....sob :( by

I thought I was doing pretty good this school year. I cried for a month before
Jordan & Madison started Mother's Morning Out 2 years ago, and cried for
several days before they started 2 year-old preschool last year. So I was
pretty proud of myself when I made it to today with no tears. I took...

Decided on a new family car by

You all may or may not remember me asking for new car suggestions a while back.
I ended up getting an '05 Sequoia. So far I'm enjoying it. When we brought the

laughing. That's me, the hot wire Mama! :) I have talked to...
