Can you say reality check? Better this than a more serious one that can't be reversed. This is a parent that actually cares about her child's performance in school. Taking away priveleges apparently didn't work. Sometimes you need to walk smack into a pole in front of a crowd of people and...

I have had experience with both. The school my children attend is a charter school- an independent public school, free to attend, with its own school board, accountable directly to our state's Board of Elementary and Secondary Education, instead of the district school board. Our school used to...

Just imagine how quiet your house would be! :eek: :eek:

George Winston- Linus & Lucy - The Music of Vince Guaraldi This must be my absolute favorite contemporary music.

Happy belated Birthday, ions. And welcome to the "I Just Hit 30 Club"!!

While I wouldn't say I loved this book, I far from hate it. I think the ending could have been better, it just ...sort of petered out.

Yup, that's kinda what I do. Oldest DD is my budding artist, so I want to get her some quality art supplies and a how-to book, youngest dd loves to do perler bead stuff. I'm stuck as for what to get my oldest son, but I'm sure something will strike me between now and then. I'm also going to...

Oh, my kids want all sorts of stuff, from gameboys to cellphones and their own computer....NOT!!!!! They are each going to get at least one book, an art/craft set and a piece of sports equipment. The toys I buy require imagination, not batteries. The boys are going to get a road rug and...

Happy Birthday, TK!!!!
