    Hair cut noooooo...

    Awww, that has happened to me too. Actually, my son is 7 and it still happens. I prefer his hair when it's a little bit shaggy, I suppose. But he gets so irritated when it starts touching his ears and neck so we get it cut when he wants. :)

    What do you want for Christmas?...

    Have you read about this guy?...

    And if that's what he names his children, imagine the crap he's teaching them. Just sickening and sad.

    Is it better to give or receive?...

    I love to give, but receiving can be good sometimes. (and other times it's a pair of argyle socks you'll never wear.)

    What do you want for Christmas?...

    Ok. I want a new blanket to wrap up in when I'm sitting on the sofa. I want The Killers CD "Day and Age" I want a new pair of running shoes. I want a pizza stone. I want some new pyrex bakeware with lids, since I melted all my old lids in the oven. (Ooops.) A cure for the dry skin that's been...

    Black Friday...

    Ridiculous! It's just so terribly sad. I went to Sears and got the Garmin GPS my hubby wanted. Hubby and I stood outside of Sears, dancing. When we got in and we had to stand in line, we made conversation with other people. It was a real fun time and many people told us they appreciated our...

    How to get him to eat his vegetables?...

    I would probably just keep trying... keep introducing it to him and maybe make it appealing? Maybe a fruit salad? Fruit in jello? Sliced apples with sugar free caramel dip? And, honestly, I would just stop buying the pureed baby food. He's going to keep demanding it because he knows you're still...

    Single father in need of advice/help...

    How about some free legal services? In my area we have something called Prairie State Legal Services. I googled and this is what I found for SC. SCLS

    My 12 year old girl...

    She's a handful. She's a typical 12 year old girl in a lot of ways. She's hormonal and emotional and at times it can be a bit of an issue but I think that's normal for most girls her age. What I'm not sure about is the level of attitude (hormones?) she gives. And it's not just during PMS but...

    ABC's Super Nanny...

    Oh gosh, me too! I only watched a couple of episodes one night and that was enough for me. All the screaming and yelling (not just the kids either, some of the parents were really bad) just drove me batty.

    Black Friday...

    I might head out to a few stores here in town as they're usually not too terribly busy even on Black Friday. Really, my only reason for going out this year it to see if I can get my husband one of those navigation things for his truck.

    How are you cooking your turkey?...

    I've been wanting to do that for awhile now but since my MIL is always the one to make the turkey, we haven't gotten around to it yet. We may have to try it some other time, not a holiday. My MIL roasts hers in the oven. She makes some home made stuffing (YUM!) and some stove top... lots of...

    What are you doing this holiday?...

    My husband, our children and I go to my in laws for dinner, <I>every single year</I>. That's the way I like it. :)

    kids with cell phones...

    Dh and I allowed our daughter to have a phone when she was 10. I was VERY reluctant, but I let dh talk me into it. It would be ok, he said. She had her phone (on and off, due to groundings) for about 2 years when one day I discovered she was using the text feature for sending some rather racy...

    What to do when your child swears?...

    On Halloween my daughter said, "Jesus Christ!" two times. The first time I merely said, "you don't say that." Then second time, I told her if I heard it from her again she would be grounded. I haven't heard it since.
