Although a number of factors contributing to the disparity in graft survival between African American (AA) and Caucasian kidney transplant recipients have been described, the role of donor quality is less well understood. This study was undertaken to determine the impact of donor quality differences on this disparity, based on review of UNOS (United Network for Organ Sharing) data on deceased donor renal transplantation from 2000 to 2010. Donor quality was determined by the kidney donor risk index (DRI), and was compared between AA and Caucasian recipients. There were 33,405 Caucasians and 22,577 African Americans in the study, with mean DRI of 1.17 versus 1.27 (p < 0.001), respectively. In analysis 2,446 recipients of each race matched by propensity scoring (based on medical, socioeconomic and immunologic covariates), mean DRI was 1.25 for Caucasians and 1.28 (p = 0.02) for AA. The hazard ratio (HR) for graft failure associated with AA race was 1.8 (p < 0.001) on unadjusted analysis, and decreased to 1.6 (p < 0.001) after matching for DRI. These results indicate a significant disparity in quality of kidneys received by African Americans, which propensity analysis indicates is partially explained by differences in medical, immunologic and socioeconomic factors. Furthermore, this difference in donor quality partially accounts for poorer graft survival in African Americans.

New London - Calling on his audience to help "stop the next public health crisis from happening," Kevin Sabet, former senior drug policy adviser to the White House, said corporate interests are funding the push for legalization of marijuana, and that public misinformation and the assumption that there's no stopping the momentum for legalizing pot are playing into the quest by "Big Marijuana" to reap huge profits from this new market.
"That attitude of inevitability is the worst thing you could have right now," said Sabet, who formerly worked for the administrations of presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama before leaving in 2011 to help found SAM, Smart Approaches to Marijuana, with former U.S. Rep. Patrick Kennedy of Rhode Island. "We need to stop this train before it leaves the station. We have a chance now to stop a third legal drug" that would compound the toll alcohol and tobacco are already taking on society.
Sabet, assistant professor in the University of Florida Department of Psychiatry and author of "Reefer Sanity: Seven Great Myths about Marijuana," spoke to about 100 public health, social service and education professionals Tuesday at Connecticut College. Ledge Light Health District, the public health agency for five area towns, sponsored the event.
The talk came as the state's first medical marijuana dispensaries prepare to open this summer, the result of a 2012 law, and Colorado and Washington's recent legalization of marijuana for recreational use. Sabet said there is ample evidence from Colorado that legalization was a mistake - Washington state's law has not yet taken effect - and that Connecticut and other states that could see lobbying by pro-marijuana groups in the future should take heed.
"In Colorado and Washington, they were up against three or four billionaires who invested $250 million" in pursuing their agenda, he said. Comparing those interests to "Big Tobacco" - which he contends also wants to expand into the legal marijuana industry - he said the marijuana industry is targeting children and teens with edible products such as "Pot Tarts," "Ring Pots" and coupons for pot products with colorful packaging designed to appeal to youth.
"Do you think monkey skeleton grape soda with the marijuana leaf on the label is for your 85-year-old grandmother with cancer?" Sabet asked, showing a slide of the product. "My favorite coupon is one for $1 off the purchase of your favorite joint if you show your ski pass."
The intent, he said, mirrors the tobacco industry's once-secret campaign aimed at youth, attempting to get teens addicted to marijuana and make them lifelong customers. Contrary to popular misconceptions, he said, one in six teens and one in 10 adult pot users become addicted.
Sabet gave statistics showing an increase since legalization in Colorado of emergency room visits by children poisoned after eating pot-laced cookies and candy bars, an increase in traffic fatalities involving marijuana, more people seeking hospital treatment for marijuana addiction and a 30 percent increase since 2013 in workers testing positive for THC, the psychoactive active ingredient in marijuana, in Colorado Springs. He added that medical marijuana has been legal in that state for several years, and that 74 percent of Denver-area teens have reported using someone else's medical marijuana half the time they have gotten high. Connecticut, he added, should monitor its medical marijuana supply carefully to prevent diversion.
"The image of the marijuana user as a lazy hippy or a stoner on the couch has been changed to a dying 80-year-old," he said, but that profile fits less that 2 percent of medical marijuana seekers. In actuality, he said, the experience in states where medical marijuana is legal show it has been going to "anybody with a pulse and a headache who's over 18."
Sabet opened his talk by emphasizing that the marijuana available today is much more potent than the marijuana many in the baby boomer generation smoked, the result of genetic modification that sharply increased the THC content. It is also now being consumed through methods such as "dabbing" that further concentrates THC.
"The marijuana grown now is five times stronger than it was in 1960," he said.
He cited studies showing regular marijuana use decreases IQs and is linked to increased risk for developing schizophrenia, psychosis, depression and anxiety.
His group advocates research be put toward isolating the medicinal properties of marijuana and developing safe pharmaceuticals that can be given at specific doses by prescription, citing the drug Marinol, an oral mouth spray for cancer pain and multiple sclerosis symptoms. Marinol, a synthetic form of THC that "doesn't get you high," is legal in Canada and Europe.
"Marijuana has medicinal properties, but you don't need to smoke it to get those properties," he said. "Your doctor doesn't tell you to smoke opium to derive the benefits of morphine."
Sabet also sought to debunk misconceptions that legalizing marijuana would help reform the judicial system - fewer than 1 percent of those in prison are there solely for marijuana-related convictions - or that it would return significant sums of money to the legal economy that has been going to the black market. Drug cartels, he said, make most of their money from extortion, heroine, cocaine and human trafficking and little from pot sales, he said, and street-level drug dealers in Colorado say legalization has actually helped their marijuana sales because demand has increased, and they can undercut the high prices being charged at the retail outlets.
SAM, founded 18 months ago, is trying to foster an "adult conversation" about marijuana that gets beyond the polarized debates that allow for only two alternatives, legalization or incarceration, Sabet said.
"We started this because we want to force people to think about this issue in a more nuanced way, in a way that doesn't fit on a bumper sticker," he said.
SAM has affiliates in 22 states, including Connecticut and Rhode Island. John Daviau, president of the Connecticut Association of Prevention Practitioners, which is serving as this state's chapter, said his group is hoping for some revisions to the medical marijuana law, but is also gearing up for a future debate on legalization. He said Connecticut is considered a "second-tier state" by legalization proponents, but he expects "Big Marijuana" interests may start lobbying the state after the gubernatorial election in November.
"This is about how these laws are going to affect our kids," he said.

Anyone have biketiresdirect.com Coupon code? Thanks!
Anyone have biketiresdirect.com Coupon code? Thanks!
you're kidding, right? the prices are already insanely cheap! I just saved 40 bucks on two tires!
that sounded like spam. oh well. Its true.
Get real.... I can get any of that stuff @ my LBS for less. Good for a laugh though. You'll need a 50% off coupon to get any good deals there.
I was actually selling brand new SIDI's on eBAY for $30 less than that site wants for them now, and they're 2003 models now. I was selling them for less last year!
The tire prices are a joke too.... You guys must not get out much.
I would give you a couple of great links, but I don't think so now.
I get "out" quite a bit and find that biketiresdirect.com tire prices to be very competitive on a everyday basis. And their service is top notch. Sure, other suppliers will have special sales once in awhile but those prices aren't available so much when I'm ready to buy.Originally Posted by Killer B
So, my challenge to you is to prove me wrong and make me retract my statement. Post some links that have significantly lower TIRE prices, including shipping, with comparable service. I'm sure these vendors could use the business.
I'm always scouring the boards and online retailers for bike parts. Very seldom do I find bike tires for less than Biketiresdirect.
Local retailers are much more expensive. I've even checked the Supergo and Performance bikes supercenters. Biketiresdirect is still less expensive.
Do you have another source that I've not yet discovered? (Although I have purchased bike parts at auction, eBay is not a consideration for obvious reasons)
I got two Vredstein Fortezza's Comp. (Performance Exclusive) 700x23 through Performance for $19.xx each on their sale that ended 02/15 I think. I just got them and haven't put on the bike yet. They are all black.

I've come to believe that I with my current configuration (a Plesk panel Linux box) I cannot have domain aliases for my main site in a WP multi-site install. I didn't know this before I set-up so I have a main site that needs several aliases. For a time, I just mirrored the site to subdomains that acted as aliases but that is way too cumbersome to maintain. In addition what I really want are domain aliases.
So my question is, can I really just use the Network panel to pick a different primary site and then have at it? If so, that would be super awesome.

In response to DamainAllen's comment:
People don't necessarily have sex to make babies, we all know that. There are plenty of reasons why recreational sex leads to pregnancy, sometimes condoms break, birth control fails, or the persons involved may have been irresponsible. But I find it silly that anyone would stand up and claim that as a result someone should have to give birth, regardless of how they became pregnant, because they should have to deal with the consequences. Here's an idea, why don't you worry about whats between your legs and let other people worry about what's between their because it literally isn't any of your business. If you have religious qualms then I'd advise you to pray for the sinner and hope god is in a forgiving mood (that would be the christian thing to do), and if not then you aren't the one dealing with the fiery pits of hell now are you?
I just dont think Killing a baby for your convienance is the right thing to do. There are thousands and thousands of loving couples out there that cant expierance the miracle of life. Its like giving a big F you to them, I can have a baby but im gonna throw it away cuz its convienant. Why not give up the baby for adoption and make all those Loving couples lives. Abortion to me is the same thing as what they do in china if you have more than one kid.

Plenty of scoring chances Wednesday night at McKenzie Stadium.
Just no scoring.
And for that, the Union Titans are playing the what-if game.
After 80 minutes of regulation and 10 minutes of overtime, Issaquah got the best of Union in penalty kicks (3-0) for a 1-0 victory in the opening round of the Class 4A state boys soccer playoffs.
"If you don't finish chances, this is what happens," Union coach Kelcey Burris said. "We had quality chances. What do you do?"
The Titans will have to settle for making it to state for the first time in the program's history. Issaquah will move on to the quarterfinals.
Alex Shane found the net in the first round of PKs for Issaquah, then Issaquah goalkeeper Evan King saved a shot on goal from Union's Tyler Shadix for all the momentum the Eagles would need.
"I was just trying to stay relaxed. I was singing a song in my head," King said of that save. "He glanced to my left, and I knew he was going there. I decided to go for it, and hope, and I got lucky."
Credit Maroon 5's new single "Payphone."
"It's a good song," King said. "It makes me calm."
Drew Tacher and Paul Hegedus also connected for the Eagles during the penalty kicks, while the Titans missed their next two shots — one ball going over the top and the other hitting the crossbar.
Match over.
"PKs can be cruel," Burris said. "That's just the way it goes."
Union keeper Collin Partee matched King's excellence all night during the 90 minutes of soccer. Issaquah had the advantage in the second half, aggressive on offense and attacking the Union net.
Partee was up to the challenge.
There was a difficult grab in traffic of a loose ball 14 minutes into the second half. A diving save four minutes later. Then a highlight of a save in the final minute of regulation. Issaquah had two more strong pushes in overtime, only to be denied by Partee again.
"I like the feeling of having the team on my back," said Partee, a sophomore. "I like the pressure. Sadly, I couldn't do it in the PKs."
The Titans wish they never put their keeper in that position.
King's only mistake of the match — a bad pass — resulted in a Union scoring opportunity in the first half.
Jess Thompson stole the ball then passed it to Daniel Cohen, and Cohen had an easy goal. However, Cohen was ruled offside.
Union had a lot of other chances, too.
Mitch Wheelon's drive 16 minutes into the second half missed by about a foot, hitting the outside of the net.
King smothered a shot from Nathaniel Cheney 30 minutes into the second half. The Titans had another shot from about 10 yards out, in front of the net in overtime, but the ball sailed left of the mark.
The misses amounted to a frustrating loss. Yet, the post-match discussion also gave the team a chance to think of its accomplishments this season.
"I couldn't be more proud of our kids as they continue to establish our program," Burris said.
"It's been a great team," Partee said. "The guys are like family to me. I'm just happy to play with these guys. It's been a great experience."

Singer, director and Tony Award-winning actor James Naughton of Weston told the Westport Rotary Club today at its weekly meeting at the Inn at Longshore of his concern for the lack of federal funding for the arts and the increasing need for public support. Naughton, referring to statistics from the Washington, D.C.-based Americans for the Arts nonprofit organization, said the arts industry generates $166 billion in business revenues and creates 5.7 million full-time jobs. To put the arts field into perspective, Naughton, a spokesperson for the Cultural Alliance of Fairfield County, said, "more people attend arts related events than attend all sporting events combined—and that includes NASCAR."

Services and Activities Fee Committee
Minutes February 10, 2010
Tyler Anderson, Chair, called the meeting to order at 5:34 p.m. and attendance was taken.
Tyler Anderson, Logan Bahr, Jack Baker, Kiley Baker, Kay Kenison, Scott King, Caitlin Morrison, Pedro Navarrete, Brad Nelson, Scott Robinson, Keith James (BOD), Wendy Williams and Teri Willard. Excused: Ed Day
Approval of the minutes from February 3, 2010: Scott Robinson moved to approve the minutes as submitted. Scott King seconded. Motion carried. (1 abstention)
No public comment.
Music performance at Benaroya Hall in Seattle: The CWU Music Department is requesting $4,800.00 for bus transportation to the event on May 22, 2010 in Seattle. There will be 300 students participating in this event. The performance will represent Central Washington University and the level of musical excellence and sophistication that has been achieved by the Music Department. The CWU Westside students from Lynnwood, Des Moines, Kent and Pierce County can attend free of charge—general admission tickets will be $25.00. The estimated budget is $30,000.00 for this event. This event will be discussed and voted on at the next S&A Meeting.
CWU-Nutrition College Bowl Team: The CWU Nutrition College Bowl Team is asking for $700.00 to help fund their expenses to the Nutrition College Bowl at CSUN University in Southern California on April 24, 2010. There are four students who will be competing and their coach. Each student has raised about $100.00 to help with the cost and fund raising will continue. The team is developed by nutrition students trying out in bracket competition with the top four going to the Nutrition Bowl. The students have been practicing 4 hours each week since November and will continue. This is very helpful to the students in their advanced studies and passing their exams to become Registered Dietitians.
CWU Health Fair: The HED 472 Public Health Program Planning Class is asking for $900.00 in supplemental funding to help promote the first annual CWU Health Fair. The students have been planning the event in their public health classes and creating the written materials to be printed and handed out to students. The supplemental funds will go to help defray the cost of marketing, publicity and printing as well as using catering to provide healthy alternatives to alcoholic beverages and samples of serving sizes and healthy food choices. There will be counselors from SH&CC, ASPEN, and other community services. This project is student driven and is offering a variety of healthy alternatives and information for students. The theme is "Don't Gamble With Your Health" with a Las Vegas "flavor," and they have received many in-kind donations to help with this event. The students get class credit for the planning; and the pamphlets and brochures that are produced, not the actual event. The event is to benefit the CWU student body and it helps with real life experience for the Public Health Program.
CWU Pep Band/Basketball Band—Larry Goodkin: The Pep Band receives $8,876.00 per year from S&A and performs for men's and women's home basketball games. There are 32 members and they perform at approximately 15 home games. Students are paid $15.00 per service about $480.00 per game and the directors are paid about $510 per game. The other costs include $500.00 for music and $350.00 for a university van to transport equipment. The Pep Band has requested funds to purchase T-Shirts, but decided to purchase music stands. The Pep Band has a positive influence at the games and brings school spirit to the basketball games.
Next week the KCWU-Chris Hull will be giving their in-depth review presentation.
National Social Science Association Conference (NSSA): The request for supplemental funding is $10,300.73 for 13 students to go to the NSSA conference in Las Vegas on March 27-30, 2010. This request does not include faculty, only students. S&A will be the first repaid if other funding is secured. All 13 students will be presenting and participating in the panel discussion. It also provides networking with others in their field of study.
MOTION: Logan Bahr made a motion to approve $7,900.00 supplemental funding for National Social Science Association Conference (NSSA) in Las Vegas, Nevada, on March 27-30, 2010. Pedro Navarrete seconded. Motion carried with 2 abstentions.
CWU Nutrition Bowl: The CWU Nutrition College Bowl Team is asking for $700.00 to help fund their expenses to the Nutrition College Bowl at CSUN University in Southern California on April 24, 2010.
MOTION: Kiley Baker made a motion to approve $700.00 in supplemental funding for the CWU Nutrition College Bowl Team to help with their expenses to the Nutrition College Bowl at CSUN University in Southern California on April 24, 2010. Scott Robinson seconded. Motion carried.
CWU Health Fair: The Public Health students of HED 472 Program Planning would like to put on a health fair to help broaden their experience and provide valuable information to the CWU students. They have received in-kind donations for $991.66 from the Ellensburg community and are asking $900.00 to help with the cost of marketing, publicity and printing as well as providing healthy alternatives to alcoholic beverages and samples of serving sizes and healthy food choices.
MOTION: Logan Bahr made a motion to approve $900.00 in supplemental funding for the CWU Health Fair on March 3, 2010 in the SURC Room 137 A & B. Scott Robinson seconded. Motion carried. (Note: Because of the date of the event, the S&A flex budget will be used for supplemental funds.)
Migrant Student Organization:The MSO students came back before the S&A Committee to answer questions about the speaker and the presentation. It is still unclear to the committee how much benefit the speaker does for the "Post Ur Secret" program. The program is an incredible program and would benefit the CWU students, but still not sure it is a benefit to bring the speaker for $15,000.00. In the discussion it was shared that the speaker has a contract and in order to cancel, it would cost $7,500.00. The speaker has another date available in September, but the cost would increase to $18,500.00. It is believed that this speaker is so widely renowned that it would be successful. There may be a need to charge a minimal ticket price for students (original proposal-students would be free). The requested amount does not include any other expenses. They plan to do more fund raising to help defray those costs. It was suggested that MSO work with Scott Drummond and come back to S&A with another proposal after working out all details and suggested moving the speaker to September date to allow more time for planning so this project can be a success.
Request to set our S&A fee for next year by the first of March: The S&A Committee needs to start thinking about the S&A fee for next year. It has always been tied to the tuition. Last year the tuition was raised to 14% and the S&A fee was also raised by 14% after a long, hard discussion by S&A members. The 14% gave the S&A more dollars to fund programs that could be cut with the anticipated budget shortfall, like the writing center, or the math center. Several feel the 14% increase is too big and needs to be less and may not be tied to tuition increase. This is a tough decision and one that will affect future S&A funds. If the fee is tied to tuition, it insures that S&A programs will stay the same and S&A will have control over how the student dollars are spent. This is a hard decision and one that will be discussed more fully at the next meeting. The committee was hoping that the President could come back and give more directions, but he is not scheduled until the April 7 meeting. Jack Baker will ask Ed Day to share several breakdowns showing the different fee increases and their effect on S&A programs.
Observer Contact Person: Kiley Baker volunteered to work with the Observer to discuss how to get the word out to the students regarding S&A and how their money is being used.
Scott King moved to adjourn, Kiley Baker seconded. Motion carried. The meeting adjourned at 7:30 p.m.
Please watch for announcement of 2014-2015 meetings.

Ever since the well-received first season of A&E's 'Psycho' prequel/reboot 'Bates Motel' ended back in May, fans have been clamoring to know when the hanging plot threads will be resolved. Well, A&E has now finally given us the answer. The 10 episode second season of 'Bates Motel' will premiere on Monday, March 3.
In the interest of full disclosure, I wasn't quite as in love with 'Bates Motel's first season as most people. As a huge fan of the 'Psycho' film franchise, I found some of the changes to Norman and Norma's respective backstories to be a bit nonsensical, and the way showrunner Carlton Cuse seemed to be making the show more about the secrets of White Pine Bay than about the Bates family rubbed me the wrong way. I tuned in to see the evolution of Norman and Norma Bates, not to watch 'Twin Peaks' lite. In truth, only the performances of Vera Farmiga, Freddie Highmore, and Max Thieriot were keeping me tuning in.
That all said, something happened by around the half way point of the season: the show got better. All the major storylines kicked into overdrive, stuff actually began happening on a regular basis, and the primary focus finally shifted to the sordid lives of the title motel's occupants. Nestor Carbonell's character finally got something to do, other than sit in his office and talk to Norma. 'Justified's Jere Burns turned up in a terrific guest role. Norman Bates finally starting acting like the character from the films, flying into violent rages, hallucinating his mother, and (possibly) committing his first murder.
Going into Season 2, things are definitely looking up for 'Bates Motel.' For those who still need to watch Season 1, it is currently available on DVD and Blu-Ray.
If the industry had me in their pocket, I'd have a much bigger house and fancier car by now. :)

And what are you & LO(s) up to?
And what are you & LO(s) up to?
It's the same concept of spreading your ass cheeks to make a fart less noticeable.
I'm not around BBC too much, got a lot going on in my personal and professional life. Mo & Andy are going to be 4 next week and start preschool in a few months. Max is in kindy 7 J.R. is in 2nd grade.
It is crazy that our LOs are all going to be turning 4 in the next month or two. Times flies, doesn't it :)
Hope all is well with everyone!

I'm here in April 08 occasionally, but mostly hang out in June 2012. Glen won't be 4 till the end of April and will be finishing his first year in preschool. We are waiting to hear back on his evaluation to determine how severe the developmental delays are and what we can do to help him. He is not happy about his baby sister coming and has stated he wants to throw her out the window. Guess I won't be able to leave either out of my sight when she comes!
I'm still in school earning my BS in psychology and am due again in June with a baby girl. Life is hectic around here.
Sarah will be 5 in 16 days and will be starting kindergarten in the fall, just not sure if it is public, private, or homeschool. Have a few tours set up to help with the decision.

You can't help everyone everywhere but you can help someone somewhere.
I was thinking about you the other day and wondering how you were doing.
As for us...Naomi is going to be 4 in mid-April, she's in school three mornings a week and doing wonderfully. She's been taking a dance class for about a year and a half, too. I am amazed at some of the things she says sometimes. We've avoided a lot of the princess trappings that seem to envelop little girls at that age and I'm thrilled that while she likes princesses, her interests mostly seem to lie elsewhere. We're considering a referral for sensory issues later this year though-there are some things that concern us like her refusal to wear pants and her hypersensitivity to loud noises, but she's doing well, even if I don't always like the way she yells at her sister.
Miriam is 26 months, talks more than any two year old I've met before and wants to keep up with big sister as much as possible. She's home with me full time, and it's a lot of fun, even if it's challenging to get stuff done sometimes with her helping.
As for me? I'm still freelancing, working to start a non-profit to provide midwifery care as an alternative to dealing with the health department for women on Medicaid, and keeping things going at home. I sometimes think about one more baby, and sometimes I think my family is perfect the way it is. We'll see what happens-I'm getting to a point where I'm uncomfortable with the age-related risks of pregnancy.

I'm around! Sydney is in preschool and numerous other activities that have me running around. Little Alivia is 15 months and a terror. We've had a nasty cold/flu season BUT Sydney's surgery last April was officially deemed a success and she was released from her urologist/nephrologist a couple of weeks ago. Couldn't be happier about that.
Hoping to get to SD this summer!

i am here...ds has started at a private pre school mon - fri from 9 - 12.he enjoys it and is so proud when his teacher gives him a star for being good... he is such an obiedient boy, sometimes i think he obeys me to much. he loves his younger brother and loves playing with his nintendo ds
as for me i am still a SAHM and lovin it ;) cannot believe our babies are turning 4, i was her from the moment i found out i was pregnant so i remember the old bbc and all the drama.
We're still here, but more active on the ttc/pregant after 2nd/3rd trimester loss boards and the dec. 11 board for lo.
ds is in an in home daycare/preschool 2 days a week and is doing well there. he just started in feb. we are about to wrap up his first full week in underwear, not too many accidents so hopefully it will just get better and we wont need to remind as often.
lo is great, 10 weeks old already. love to see her smile and hear her "talk". ds is so good with her!
me-trying to loose theweight now that our family is complete, make some money by selling avon, and giving private cake decorating lessons.

I was here, quite a bit, but then felt (after my last post) that I should just keep my problems with our 3 year old twins to myself. I used to think that this would be a safe forum to ask others for their opinions and suggestions, instead the last time I did that I felt ganged up on....Anyways, that is how I felt- It is pretty sad that I have been with this group as long as the twins have been born and have met some great friends, just to have it end this way....

I'm still around! I do still check in with this board, but not daily like I did when Cooper was little. I can't believe he will be 4 next month! He is an active preschooler who loves to learn and really enjoys his teacher. He amazes me everyday with his imagination and creativity. He almost fully-potty trained, still has a few poop accidents here and there, but mostly there. He is starting micro soccer this spring, and we are so excited for spring to get here so he can have more of an outlet for his crazy energy.
My September 2010 LO is just as active as her big brother, but definitely has a sweet side. It's so cute watching Cooper play babies with her. I love watching them interact.
We are hoping to try for our third and final baby after Berkeley turns 2 this September. Hoping for a July 2013 baby this time, but we'll see.
Professionally, I finished my master's degree (finally) in December 2010 and am now working as a family therapist for a non profit agency I love. We are in the process of selling our home and building a new one-hoping to have Cooper in a better school district by January of next year so he can get signed up for kindergarten in that district.
It's nice to hear how everyone is doing!
I'm here, miss how active our board used to be! Cash is excited to be 4 next month, but would really rather be 5 like his cousin. He starts 2x a week preschool in Sept, otherwise is home with me and his 2 y/o brother. We are waiting another 6mo or so to start TTC #3. Then we'll see from there.....busy planning our summer camping trips & home improvements we have lined up this year! Still lucky to be a SAHM!
I'm here. I've been here since I found out I was pregnant with DD. (I spend entirely too much time on my computer!)
I hate to jinx it, but I think we are making our way out of the f-ing three's. (We were told it was the terrible two's and the f-ing three's by a friend. She was right on!) DD's behavior has improved dramtically in the last few weeks--not that she was ever BAD compared to a lot of kids, though. We've been blessed with a pretty good natured, predictable child.
