I didn't realize that hand sanitizer could be so dangerous.  Thank you for posting this.  My youngest DD still sucks on her two fingers, and we have used hand sanitizer before.  I will be throwing it out and putting more wet wipes in my purse and car.

I am so sad to report that my DH just received a call from my BIL that his girlfriend has had a miscarriage. 

 Please keep them in your prayers, as this is going to be such a difficult time for both of them.

 Thank you.

I am so very glad that you decided to post this for all of us on MommyTalk.  You brought an awareness to me that I was able to share with my children about something I knew nothing about. My eldest DD has shared hats and combs with fellow students a dozen times!  Your information can only help others.  Thank you for having the courage to share it.  I am so PROUD of you!

 This site has the most supportive people I have ever come in contact with.  Although I do not know exactly what you are going through, I can only imagine how frustrating and overwhelming this whole entire process has been. I will continue to send positive thoughts your way!

 Your friend,

This question is a really easy one for me to answer...No.  That's it, no more to say!

 Great story!

Here's my story...

My eldest daughter started HS last year.  It is a new school, so only Freshman were attending.  During orientation, we were told that if your child wanted to play a sport of any kind, this was the year to sign them up.  They had a policy that anyone that wanted to play would be able to play, there would be no "making" the team so to speak.  There was a fee to play, but one fee would allow your child to play in any/all sports for the entire school year. 

My daughter chose the swim team.  She loves the water and really enjoys swimming, but had never been on a team.  After the 1st meeting, she came back to the car all upset.  They were informed that it was a Swim/Dive team, and she does not like diving!  She has taken a diving class before and just didn't like it.  She wanted to quit!  Her Dad and I told her that quitting was not an option.  She needed to be open minded and at least try. 

 Well, after the 1st week, she was in LOVE!  She didn't have to participate in diving, that was only if you wanted to do both activities. She learned so much and improved all of her strokes and times.  

She earned her Varsity Letter in a Relay and earned herself a position at the State Championships!  Not only are her Dad and I so proud of her, but she is so proud of herself for not giving up.  It was a great lesson!  Her plaque is proudly hung on her wall in her room, and her Letterman's Jacket (which cost an arm and a leg...still paying for that!) is hung nice and neatly (she's kind of a messy gal, so this is a really big deal! ) in the bookroom closet.

She is already looking forward to being on the swim team this year.  I am so proud of her!

It is so much fun to read what everybody would eliminate as their "one chore".

I don't like dishes left in my sink, but I guess I really don't mind washing them.

Laundry, although I have a ton, is made into a game over here, and all the kids (minus DH...and YES,  I consider him one of the kiddos!) have to help.  Each child has their own laundry to put away and they have to help seperate out the socks and underwear.  The "Laundry Fairy" game always gets a giggle out of everyone, so we try and have fun with it.

On the other hand, I really do enjoy vacuuming, I just don't like all the dog hair, and I don't want anybody using my vacuum!  The kids however LOVE when the "Purple People Eater" chases them around the  house trying to bite their toes!
