Bad night 'round here. Dbf had a few things go wrong with his first project at his new job. I'm not impressed with his coping skills. Not.at.all. Dashed my confidence in him quite a bit. He needs a big old glass of BUCK UP DUDE.

Oh, so sorry, Bridget.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Sorry about that, Bridget. Hope it gets better soon.
Thanks, Ladies. I had to banish him from my presence. I just can't even stomach him tonight and just asked him to go to bed. Luckily he listened to that.
I missed all the debate today!
To answer your questions, the homework we have is to read a book every day to our child(ren) and write it down, and if we read more than that, write down those as well.
Monday we had to fill out a little questionnaire on a picture of a train. Favorite food (pizza-DD, steak-DS), what I like to do (dance, sing, go to school--DD; play with Legos, build things, read books about how things work--DS), birthday, and name, and then the kids had the draw a picture of themselves in the train window.
Today they had to gather three objects that they felt connected to in some way, and put them in an enclosed paper bag to share with the class some day this week. The bag was labeled "Super star" and they would be the star. It was kind of like a show and tell thing, I suppose.
DS got a Lego truck he'd put together, a little Hotwheels car, and a book called "Wheels, Wings, and Motors."
DD didn't trust that anything she took would come back, so she didn't want to take anything she really liked. She grabbed a Little Person toy off the floor and said it represented her, since it was a "schoolgirl." Then she grabbed a piece of artwork she'd already completed, and said she could talk about how she liked to create art. Then she drew a whole bunch of lines of shapes -- 11 triangles, 10 squares, 9 circles, 6 diamonds, and cut them into strips and wrote the numbers down and said she would talk about how she likes numbers and shapes.
In the meantime, they're supposed to practice writing their names with the first letter uppercase and the rest of the letters lowercase (I had them do that six times yesterday) and learn their address (we practiced that, too) and tie shoelaces. I didn't try that. We only have one pair of shoes in the house that lace and they belong to DH and the last time I brought them out to practice tying shoes he got all upset and said he did not want to find his shoelaces all knotted.
I don't mind this homework. It's pretty fun, and it's an attempt to get the kids to know each other better. I am not appalled by it, and it seems like reading one book a night is counted in the 20 minutes. That's nothing. There are days that they get hours of bookreading. There are days that THEY read books to other kids. I just need to stay on top of it, and as always, it seems to be my responsibility.
I don't like most squash, either, but there are a few kinds and a few cooking styles that I appreciate.
I mostly agree with Suja. I do think the US is far behind in the global education market, but I think it's too late to try to catch up. When I went to Spain in 1985 as an exchange student, it was essentially agreed that I should just sit in class and watch and shouldn't even bother trying to learn or take tests, because I wouldn't be able to keep up. Looking back at my notes later on, I was learning college-level anatomy and art history in my junior year in high school. No wonder all of my friends were studying all the time.
I also think that it's worth urging kids into jobs that will pay the bills so they can afford to do the things they want to do. Following a job that you love is over-rated. What's more important (in my opinion) is to have a good home/work balance, to be able to go home without having work follow you too much, to have decent hours, to get the training for the job in a decent amount of time without astronomical student loans, and to have reasonable satisfaction and appreciation and stability in the job. Plus, any job or career can be more or less awful or wonderful depending on the exact work situation one is in, plus the attitude one has. DH and I have talked about how we both wound up in good jobs (that we like) without any sort of guidance whatsoever from our parents, and after messing around to some extent. We will want to give some light guidance but not crack the whip.
I often think of the "what ifs" in regards to my life and what I could have done if I were a little more motivated. I got my bachelors degree but could easily have gone on to graduate school, for a long time I planned on vet school. But then I look at where I am today : making 60k+ while using my biology degree, a great husband, two wonderful kids, own a home, etc and realize I that the choices I made have made me who I am. If I had gone to vet school at the time (11 years ago), I probably would be making around the same income I am now, but instead of paying off my student loans like I did last year, I'd still owe over 100k.
My husband is the worrier about money. I'm a firm believer in enjoying the day to day and that it will all work out in the end. He had a minor surgery on the 17th and he is SO stressed about how much the bill will be after insurance picks up their portion. He talks about it every.single.day. I've told him a million times that they can't charge interest on medical bills and that the hospital will work with whatever payment plan we can afford as long as he makes his payments. If it takes us 2 years to pay it off, so be it, but it isn't something to spend that much time stressing over.
I LOVE the skinnytaste website. I've tried so many recipes from there and they have all been great! The cajun chicken pasta and baked potato soup are some of my favorites!

Yes, I know about it. I asked Ky if he wanted to go there but he said he didn't, he likes his current school, as I was thinking of putting him there for 5th-8th grade.
I think it is a wonderful school. I have been there and their building is like a scene out of Harry Potter. They have "houses" for the students and a big board showing how many points each house has and the teachers were over the top motivating.
I have heard that they nickel and dime you though, that all of their trips take substantial amounts of money from parents and a few parents I know who have kids go there, don't like that but they deal with it. Our school is actually going to follow their model of travelling to differen parts of the world. Our PTA is planning on doing a boatload of fundraising this year in an effort to send out kids to South America in 6th grade. At RCA all of the trips are based upon lessons they were learning. When we visited last year for a Lego Robotics seminar there, some of their students were our guides and the girl who was showing my group around was reading "The Origins of Life" by Darwin. She was in 6th grade. They were going to go to the Galapagos Islands in a couple months so were learning all they could about Darwin's life and life's work, which was inspiring.
I actually love the Ron Clark Academy. I like that there are no excuses there. They also do not take "the best and brightest" of kids. They have a mixture of kids from all grade levels and their admission policy seeks to take students that are below, at, and above grade level in equal amounts. For me, the successes there are proof that where someone comes from, does not necessarily mean that a child cannot learn, which is what I hear a lot of in discussions. Especially with other parents, the discussion about the achievement gap come up quite a bit and since I am not shy about discussing these things I can get into a lot of heated situations about it, that I won't really get into it here. But my main issue with schooling is for one - homework, when it is not needed and is not teaching a child anything additional, and low expectations. Not just from families, but from schools, especially in inner city communities, which I see often here in Atlanta. The schools in my neighborhood, that aren't Charter schools, are way below the middle class and affluent parts of town and I truly believe it is becaue of excuses on the part of many teachers, politicians, and the complacency that many parents and teachers have in subconsciously not believing that the children in their care can learn at the level that the middle class and affluent kids can learn at, which to me is bogus. I really get into a lot of arguments really with liberals around here and democrats, even though I have liberal leanings, I'm not a democrat and won't align myself with any political party and really I feel a lot of the democrats here in this area are what are holding back a lot of poor kids, especially poor black boys from learning at a high level. They make too many excuses for them and don't seem to truly believe that the boys can learn and it is frustrating and disheartening for me, especially since my son is no better or smarter IMO than other boys, it is just I expect him to know a certain amount, mostly due to myself being involved in a rigorous program in school. Even though I love Ky's school now, I still feel in a few areas, especially math, that they aren't challenging enough for him. Also in reading, which he excels at, as he reads at a 9th grade level, I feel he should always get better and learn more and not via homework but instead instruction. At RCA, there are many boys from my neighborhood who go there. They have a bus that will pick up kids. Their tuition is based on income and for those who are REALLY poor they get to go for free, but they do have to be involved in fund raising for trips and such. RCA has high expectations in academics and a few boys I know who went there in 5th grade only read at a 2nd grade level or worse and are now reading Darwin! And they are understanding it.
I think RCA should be a model really for other schools. I'm happy that our own principal is good friends with Mr. Clark and he refers to him often and is looking to make our school similar to that of RCA, except we are a public charter and have lower class sizes.
I did that recipe from that skinny web site of the summer veg and sausage and the kids devoured it. It was soooo good! I threw in some cherry tomatoes and carrot as well. The only thing that Travis didn't like was how the rosemary stuck to the potatoes, so he scraped that off. I'll definitely be making that again!
I went to visit the school I'm employed at now and got familiar with my classroom. The teacher is so enthusiastic; he's so cute how energized he still is with teaching. It makes me realize how many teachers I've worked with through the years who have become jaded with the career.
I confess I'm going to start typing now without having completely formulated my thoughts. I only got the chance to scan the last few pages while simultaneously attending a meeting, but I think I caught the most salient points. I feel like we've had this debate in here before. And while I haven't particularly become a fan of academic stress on our kids since the last time I took a position on it, I have to say I'm glad I previously had this discussion with you, Suja, in the past because you've helped me see where some of my views merge with yours. I have never looked at the question in terms of global competition, but to your other point, I do think it's important to at least work hard enough to avoid financial stress, to give oneself a comfortable cushion in life (which is why I'm not a fan of spending beyond my means and getting into debt). Of course, everyone's definitions of "comfortable" are bound to vary, as are people's definitions of "stress". I personally, would be consumed with worry for me & my family if we were living from paycheck to paycheck; it'd get to the point where the worry would start to wear on my quality of life.
Anyway, back to the homework topic, I know there's the Stop Homework project and I am intrigued by some of their points. They cite studies that show students in other countries are assigned significantly less homework, but score way higher on standardized tests. That said, I can't say I'm 100% against it. As with all things, academic and otherwise, I think some degree of struggle is necessary before mastery comes. I think it's good to teach kids how to have a "beginner" mind and then experience firsthand what it's like to go from not knowing how to do something to becoming proficient at it. That's a real confidence builder. And homework is pretty useful tool for getting kids to synthesize everything they learned throughout the day, as long as it's not too excessive. But I don't have a school-aged kid, so I won't weigh in now on whether I think the homework Bodhi will bring home is excessive.
The most important values I'll emphasize with my kid(s) are self-reliance and happiness. Of course, I want B to be happy in his chosen career, but if he wants to become a harmonica player, and if that doesn't pay the bills, he's going to have to understand that he needs a practical skill and take on a supplementary career to make ends meet... enough to feel comfortable and again avoid debt/financial strain.
The twins' homework sounds cool, L!
I have to jump onto another call, but I'll be back.

Bridget, I'm sorry you had a bad night. Hope your DBF stops feeling sorry for himself and tries harder.
Ash, that's cool that you got a positive vibe from the teacher you're going to work with. Where are the pics of you in your fascinator?
Suja, if you like hot sauce (I actually missed where we got started on that topic, only saw Katy's response), a client of DH's makes one. He lives in a town called El Sobrante, so the hot sauce is called Hell Sobrante, and it's so tangy and really good. The next time he gifts some to my DH, I'll pass some onto you if you like.
Myles, Ash had posted some pics on FB. Not sure if you're friends there or not. She looked fabulous (of course).
Love hot sauce. I have a friend with an asbestos mouth, and I enjoy setting his mouth on fire. It takes a lot to get that reaction out of him, but when I do, it's so totally worth it. I'd love to try some of the Hell stuff, if it isn't too much trouble.

I agree with you Mandy, that if kids have other sorts of disabilities that can prevent them from learning, especially in the case of the young man you mentioned, that they may need additional support and that expectations, by themselves will not be enough and can be detrimental. I also think the same would apply for an undiagnosed student with dislexia or a similar sort of reading or math disorder. I think the key is to see the whole child, not some standardized test standard, and provide the tools that the child needs. If provided, I just do not see how kids cannot excel, especially those who do not have any sort of learning or physical diagnosis that can prevent them from excelling in school.
I used to agree with you in regards to kids coming in at a different level and them being at a disadvantage due to that and felt that they would be good candidates for additional homework or other sorts of activities that can bring them up higher. But my experience with Ky's school has actually altered that view in that we had students in Ky's 3rd grade class who could not read at all and by the end of the year they all passed the 3rd grade reading test on the 3rd grade level. I do believe the class sizes make the difference, even though some studies show that larger class sizes are necessarily all that bad, but at Ky's school we had A LOT of kids who could not read or if they did, they read at a 1st or 2nd grade level in 3rd-4th grade and all of our students pass reading, on level, every year so I became a convert in regards to the tutorial method and individualized instruction, which is what goes on at our school.
We are a public charter, different than RCA, as we do have to accept whoever applies and gets in from the general population. The majority of our students come from poor families and receive free lunch, I think 90%. Our school is about 85% black as well but they perform better than a lot of the middle class schools in our district.
I think it is up to the individual school to ensure they have a good sampling of students on all levels. Even at Ky's old school, which was a traditional public school, they usually always had about 4 or 5 kids out of 20 who were above grade level. At his school now, everyone who comes into the school via the lottery, are visited by teachers and our principal and they are tested before school starts as well as their previous records are looked into to see where they would be best suited and to ensure that each class has a good mix of kids on different levels. Also some students who are poor in one area, like reading, may be better at another, like math. This is true for a lot of our students. We also serve the special education population as we have to being we are public school. Those students receive additional support via paraprofessionals and if a teacher believes it is warranted, they will speak to parents to have those children receive additional services at school paid for by the district. We actually have a large amount of special education students relative to other public schools. Over 20% of our school population has special needs. They do everything they can at school to get these kids the support they need and they are expected to do just as well as the other kids.
I know one of the girl's in Ky's class last year had ADD/ADHD, which her mother told me. She was one of the kids who had poor literacy before coming to our school and she is above average now in reading. I will be honest and say she is a trip, even though she is one of my favorite kids, very high energy! She had a crush on Ky though and kept bugging him a lot last year and so he doesn't like her all that much anymore lol! But her mom did say before coming to our school she had constant problems in traditional public school and that many of the teachers, though caring, didn't know what to do for her daughter and due to cuts in education, a lot of the funds needed for paraprofessionals at traditional schools were cut. They just wanted her to heavily medicate her child instead of finding other alternatives. This girl is very bright but you would not have known it when she first came. Her mom said she was labeled as a behavior problem and that is all they saw her as at previous schools. She is excelling now in practically every subject.
All this school talk is perfect for my mindframe right now since I sort of consumed with these thoughts lately!
I did send the principal an email to let her know that I am available and willing to help with anything, including being involved in classrooms and hope that Sawyer could come with me. He loves to ride in the ergo so I could just carry him around on my back.
Things are better around here. I had a really serious talk with dbf about his behavior towards the children that was all because he was stressed about work. He tried just chalking it up to the fact that he doesn't handle stress well and that's that but I told him that he is strong enought and smart enough to overcome that and change it. If he's going to do this job he has to get used to some stress and I won't let him take it out on us. Especially since I have spent all my free time this week typing up, editing, creating templates, sending out emails...also to lessen his load and since I am better and quicker at that stuff than he is. I don't mind helping at all but in return he needs to suck it up and be nice.
The part that really got me seeing red was that he's always riding me about how the kdis don't have chores. So I bought one of those kitchen towers off craigslist and the kids have been eptying the dishwasher, clearing and rinsing their dishes. Instead of praising them, he yelled at Kai for wasting water and spraying some on the counter on accident. He said he'd rather do it himself than have them do it wrong. I was very disgusted! Kai was deflated.
Of course he had 3 drinks which made him totally unreasonable. Hence the banishing.
Ugh Bridget.....he is being a piece of work.
I would really try to get him to apologize to Kai for his behavior, if he hasn't already. I hope he realizes that he needs to be the adult and set a good example. Like I have told you before, your DBF really reminds me of my DH. He has been and sometimes still does and says idiotic things like that. He also doesn't deal well with stress, but usually when I remind him he is being mean over his stress, he'll go be by himself somewhere. He oftentimes will go to the park and drink a beer (which I keep telling him is against the law lol, open container and all. He seems to think the police won't know what it is if it is in a paper bag, as if they haven't seen that before...) and take Bruno with him, who is usually high energy and likes to run around the park. That will usually brighten his mood and if he's been an a$$ to any of us before that he will apologize and ask for forgiveness for his behavior. Luckily he doesn't get like this often anymore because he has gotten really good at dealing with stress. He's also mellowed out a lot and is not as over the top aggressive anymore, which used to get him into trouble at work. He will not ever back down from an argument in which he thinks he is right and he was known to argue with his supervisor, the head honcho at his office, co-workers, anyone basically and it took years of me telling him that that sort of behavior at work was uncalled for an unprofessional for it to finally sink in. He actually used to have "aggressiveness" put on his yearly work review which was crazy IMO. He is really mellow now by comparison.
Since I mentioned Bruno, I will give an update on him. He is doing MUCH better and has actually started up all his puppy-ish behavior that gets on my nerves. But I'm happy he is doing better even with his constant crying if DH leaves the house without him (he LOVES DH and whines/cries almost every time he leaves a room) his biting up of anything anyone leaves anywhere (he has devoured a cheap SpongeBob toy that Elle found as she wailed in cries and tears) and his constant bright eyes and tail wagging and trying to bound through the house like he weighs 10lbs LOL. He also loves to lick people, everywhere, hands, legs, arms, face, he will lick it. He is still kind of skinny, but looks like he has gained about 5lbs back as I can barely see his hip bones anymore and his belly looks a little thicker. DH was happy someone mentioned how big and scary he was yesterday on their walk. It is always funny to me that people think he looks scary because he is just a big ole puppy that if someone breaks in, he will lick the mess out of them lol! He also is VERY people and dog friendly and just loves to play. Mr. Hyde stayed in the house more than Bruno because Bruno will tear up a house if left unattended. Plus Mr. Hyde, even though he was a sweet dog and very gentle too, would bark if someone came up on the porch and he had what I call a "deep voice." Bruno has a whiny, puppy bark IMO in comparison so I don't even think he will scare anyone with a bark. But he is usually pretty big, he normally weighs about 80-85lbs and he is very stout and muscular. Because he was in such bad shape when he went to the vet they wanted to hold off on giving him the 2nd shot for heartworms until the end of this week, so he will be going on Monday for the second and Tuesday for the third heartworm shot and hopefully after this, we will be through with his treatment.
Oh Erin I'm glad to hear that. I was just going to ask you how Bruno was doing when I saw the update.
I would be wary of a dog like that until I knew he was friendly. I am less so around smaller dogs because I figure that I can always pick them or kick them or something if they were mean and attacking. A large strong dog would be a lot harder to fight off.
Cosmo has more of a yap yap yap bark. She's not tough or scary at all. Molly has surprised us though...she's got a very deep big woof bark. Definitely didn't take the beagle genes there!
Here is a recent one of my little girl after a long weekend of fun. Can't believe she is 11 months old already....definitely made the first year waiting for a human baby go by quickly! She looks so different from when we brought her home....didn't know what to expect for a beagle poodle mix.
tired poogle.jpg
Despite DH's many shortcomings, he has never taken his frustrations out on Mira. I'm not sure what I'd do if he did. That must be hard for you to watch and deal with, Bridget.
Erin, I'm really happy to hear that Bruno has rebounded. I hope he pulls through the treatment in reasonably good shape. I'm pretty good with doggie body language, and rarely intimidated by dogs, especially larger ones. There are ones where I have a tougher time reading them, and where the breed tendencies make me cautious right off the bat (Presa, Chow Chow), but most of my dog trouble have come at the hands of little dogs. It is usually an owner issue, not a dog issue though, where the owner thinks it's awfully cute that fluffy is trying to eat my large dog, or humping/peeing on someone's leg.
I had a meeting this morning at Mira's school. Don't know if I said anything, but I found out last Wednesday, from the assistant in her class (I still haven't heard a thing from the school administration itself) that they are moving all the 2 1/2 year olds on up into a new pre-primary class, setup for the 2 1/2 - 3 1/2 year old set. I was upset that I had to find out this way, and given what happened over the summer where it was a constant battle getting her ready for school, unwilling to subject her to that. The meeting was with Katherine, her toddler teacher (that we both love), the new assistant in that room, the teacher in the new pre-primary room, and the new director of the school. It turns out that while they are initially starting the class at the 2 1/2 - 3 1/2 year old level, the plan is to keep the kids with the same teacher until they are ready for kindergarden, so no more transitions until she's 5 (YAY!). The ratio in the primary rooms is 1:10, but this will be 1:8 (YAY!), because there will be kids there that are under 3. We are going to take this as a gradual transition, the same way that we did when she entered the toddler room. My initial thinking was that she can go back to her toddler room and then be transitioned from there, but they did make a valid point that it might make the transition more difficult, since she does not bond with or trust new people easily, and having an 'out' might keep her from getting used to the new teacher. So, we're going to play this one by ear, and I'm kind of hoping that we won't have to go through a full week of transition like we did last time. One thing that the rest of the folks do not know is that the assistant in this class (who is transferring from Mira's toddler room, so she knows her well) is 2 1/2 months pregnant, and will be leaving some time in February/March. Hopefully, she would be well bonded to the teacher and won't have a meltdown. One thing I forgot to ask is if the teacher will be around in summer. If not, I might look for a school/program where the teacher is year round, and she won't have to go through more transitions. I stayed to chat with Katherine, and she told me that she has talked to the new teacher (who has no toddler training) about being available, approachable and making sure the kids get the warm fuzzies, so that has eased my mind a little bit. Just keeping my fingers crossed that this would be a lot easier than the summer has been.
Suja....any ideas on how to stop barking?
I'm the one with smaller dogs who think that they need to to bark at everything when on leash walking and it's annoying. They are both scaredy cats....except when on leash and suddenly they think they are tough.
Cars, kids, people in their yards, dogs....all get barked at.
Dogs repeat behaviors that are rewarding. Some dogs just like to hear the sound of their own voice (Shelties, Beagles), and then it becomes extremely hard to break the habit, because it is more hard wired and sometimes, by squashing it, you're squashing some of the enjoyment they derive from life. For others, it's an 'Danger!' sort of alert thing or barking due to being scared, and of course, whatever they're barking at goes away, so of course they are likely to repeat it. IMO, it is beneficial to figure out which category your dog falls into, and react on the basis of that.
For the alert barkers (Pan is one; it was deafening to have a Great Dane barking in your ear every time a leaf moved, and we live surrounded by trees), it is important to let them know that you've got a handle on it. Basically, I would let her get out a woof or two and then say 'Thank you. I've got it. Quiet.'. You can train it by teaching the 'quiet' command (which involves teaching the 'speak' command first), then using it at appropriate times. The ones that are barking because of being scared, it is important to do more socialization, so not everything is new/scary/worth barking at. Work under their barking threshold, far enough away from whatever the scary object is that they aren't likely to bark, and work on closing the distance. Basically, sit outside with the dogs (or stand at the side walk or outside the grocery store or whatever would give them ample opportunity to bark), and reward them for appropriate behavior (for instance, they see a kid on a bike approaching, keep stuffing them with yummy treats as long as they are behaving). If they do start to bark, the stimulant is too close, so increase the distance and try again. Over time, they will come to regard whatever the scary thing was with OMG! YUMMY TREATS and therefore, less likely to react in a manner that won't get them yummy treats. While I prefer to work with R+ or P- (positive reinforcement or negative punishment), I am not averse to P+ (positive punishment). So, a well timed squirt of water, for instance, can interrupt the barking, and then you can introduce the positive reinforcement when they are being quiet.
I would work with one dog at a time, before trying them both out together. Once they each understand the rules separately, it becomes easier to manage them when they are together, and less likely to feed off each other.

Jennifer, you asked Suja for advice, but I can tell you what worked for us. We had (and still sometimes have) a barking issue with our dogs with relation to their guarding behavior. At our old house, we had the biggest problem with the fence. Our dogs would bark the ears off of anyone who came by, and they are LOUD. We tried a few things, but what seemed to work most was pennies in an old can of diet coke. We called it the "shake can". The problem with barking behavior is that much of it is instinctual, so it's difficult to disrupt the habit if you can't get the dog's attention and it's tough to grab their attention when their instinct is to behave like Tasmanian devils. And really with dogs, to break a bad behavior you have to catch them in the act; lecturing after the fact doesn't make the connection in their heads. So we waited for someone to come by the fence (our house was across from a school, so that didn't take long), and as soon as they started barking, we'd shake the can loudly to get their attention. Then once we had their attention, it was firm "No bark! Shush!". Once they got quiet, it was all love, strokes on the head, "Good shush." and all that. That taught them what it means to shush. They still go crazy in the house when the UPS guy drives by, but I don't much care for him either since he once tossed a box containing a camera over our fence, so I feel like they're just speaking for me. LOL. ;)
It's harder with 2 dogs, isn't it? I found that our dogs taught each other bad habits when they were still juveniles. Lulu was not a guarding-barker until we brought Cayo home. Cayo was not a digger until Lulu showed him how fun it was to dig a pit and wallow in the dirt. She also taught him to pull on the leash. The dogs still instinctively try to race each other when we all go for a walk together and have to be reminded to heel. When we first go out the gate, they pull like the dikkens. Then again, Cayo makes Lulu feel more bold. She'd never go swimming without him, but can't let him have all the fun splashing by himself.
I still try to give my dogs one-on-one time because they're each more relaxed when we're on our own and they feel like they get special attention.
I have to confess - I feel like I'm talking like I'm the dog-owner of the year right now. The truth is, when Bodhi was born and I was nursing him round the clock and obsessed with all things "baby", I badly neglected the dogs... for nearly 2 years. I almost never walked them (except when Cayo had his surgery, needed to be exercised, and DH was at work); walking/feeding them was left to DH. I practically ignored them, sometimes sending them away if they wanted to be patted. I really disappeared on them and I still feel pretty guilty about it. Thank goodness for their forgiving natures. They still seem to love me.
I have to remind myself not to do that to Bodhi if we have a second child.
Regarding the angry daddies topic, I'm sorry to hear about our DHs/DBFs' hot-headedness. My DH can be a grump too. Sometimes he asks B, "Why are you crying?", in a way that sounds like he's saying "WTH is wrong with you?!?" I think he sounds demeaning at times. And I feel like he sometimes physically disciplines Bodhi too forcefully. What I mean is that, when Bodhi isn't listening, he grabs him roughly and plops him down for a time-out, and when he speaks to him during the time-out, he has a true angry expression on his face. It scares Bodhi, who then can't learn why a behavior is wrong if the only message he gets is that it makes daddy mad. You can't focus on being the parent/grown-up/instructor if you're too pissed off to think about what's going through your kid's mind. DH has actually started to rehearse changing his anger into concern. I gave him an audiobook CD of "Screamfree Parenting", so he can hear from someone else why it helps to focus on his own emotional reactivity in the heat of a moment rather than B's. I don't agree with everything the book says -there are a few religious references that were completely unnecessary to make his point - but I like a lot of the points that the author makes.
You guys let me know if any of you'd like to get your hands on the "Screamfree" audiobook. I can make that happen. You could share it with your your respective angry daddies. DH drives a lot when he goes to his clients, and that's ideal time for listening to something, so an audiobook wasn't as tough to sell. He was definitely more receptive than if I'd put a paper book in his hands. I'm not perfect either, btw. I still scream, and then I end up having to apologize to Bodhi for losing control of myself. The other day he was pooping on the toiliet, and he was pushing so hard that he started peeing like a fountain out the front of him, getting it all over the floor. I yelled "Stop!". And when he wouldn't (because at that point, I thought he was entertaining himself), I yelled more angrily, "STOP!". Bodhi had this deer-in-headlights look on his face. I didn't realize until then that he simply couldn't stop himself at that moment, because he was preoccupied with eliminating out the other end of him. And maybe it was a little scary that he didn't have the bodily control to stop tinkling, since it looked like I was mad at him for something his body was doing. I felt really guilty. I wiped up his mess with a towel and while we he was still on the toilet, gave him a huge hug and said I was sorry for getting angry. I knew he didn't want to make a mess, but his pushing made his pee-pee come out too, and that I was proud of him for making a poop on the potty. I still feel crappy about the way I reacted, though.
Suja, that's really great that Mira's going to get to keep the same teacher from now on. Bodhi is a pretty flexible kid, but when the main teacher had to go out of the country for a month because her mother passed away, it badly affected him. He refused to nap at all and was driving the substitute teacher to drink. That was around the time we took him to see the naturopath for what we perceived were problems with attention, hyperactivity and night terrors, but after the fact, we learned from all the parents that all the kids were having problems with Miss Amelia being away. They just love her so much. I swear she has a way of hypnotizing the kids. She has a way of calming all the kids down and lulling them to sleep at nap time. It would be a huge transition if the school were to ever lose her. So I hope she gets to keep her same teacher during the summertime too.

Ha, Suja, we posted at the same time! I like the way you let the dogs know you've got it under control.

I'm gonna go make me some Shamrock Shake (http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/201...hip-milkshake/). I was wondering whether to throw in some Tofu or not. Maybe I'll try half with and half without and see what happens.
OMG, that was GOOD! My child actually drank it. Both versions are great. I drank half and froze half for later.

Oh Cosmo definitely likes to hear the sound of her own voice. She will usually stop if we tell her to knock it off. Molly doesn't bark that much yet and we are trying to keep it that way. She is the alert barker so will do it if she hears or sees someone outside. On walks it is the worst. Walking is fairly new to her. I don't care so much is she alerts me to someone in our yard (or something in the case of the coyote one day). It's when there is someone in their yard 5 houses down that I don't need to know about. I could try a shake can outside in the front yard, not sure if I could keep it quiet on a walk though.
OH they definitely teach other! One reason we got a puppy was so Cosmo could help us train her. LOL Cosmo is a really pretty awesome dog (not the greatest leash walker but that was because we didn't do much of that and she's better now that she's 9 yrs old and a bit pudgy). Cosmo listens, knows tons of english and body language and can be trusted off leash in our yard (with us out or at least watching her out the patio door). Molly is smart and learns stuff she likes very quickly....but so glad that we have the electronic fence because when she gets that nose to the ground, it is iffy if she will even look at me when I call her. If she looks at me, she most likely will come when called unless the nose goes down again. There are a few other things too where we just keep being persistent. Molly is a stubborn little thing. I'm in the bathroom and pretty much everytime she will go up and lick Cosmo's face so it's a no leave Cosmo alone (mostly because I don't want her licking her eyes as Cosmo is a lot more prone to infection from the steroids). Than she sticks her face in the bathroom garbage. No get out of the garbage. She doens't take from it (only has twice since we have had her) but her face is always wanting in there. The other is the dishwasher. If dishes are dirty almost every single time I open it, she's there trying to lick a bowl or fork.
But on the other hand she's never destroyed anything of ours, doesn't dig (neither does Cosmo), and is very sweet and friendly. Molly is a little more independent....she loves attention but will go play on her own and is more comical. Cosmo is very attached to me and it's only been since we got the puppy that she will go and lay on her own (though in the same room as me). Outside Molly will be trying to catch a moth....Cosmo is either right next to me or at the patio door waiting to get back inside....she's my princess girl and likes inside a lot.
Mylah, I don't think that you would ever ignore Bodhi when the new baby comes. and now you have Bodhi to help make sure that the dogs get lots of attention.
Quick question: Do/did your kid(s) have a "drop everything" phase (e.g. crayons rolling off the table, sippies full of milk knocked over, toys dropped out of hands while sitting in the car seat, accidental letting go of food that is on it's way to the mouth)? If so, at what age did they/will they grow out of it? Is it normal to just be inattentive & uncoordinated at this age? DH & I keep reminding Bodhi to pay attention, but things still just always end up on the floor that aren't meant to.

Klipsch Image S3 Nosie-Isolating Earphones with Patented Oval Ear-Tips
"I have seen these recommended by many, reviewer and consumer alike. It' has been given praise for being an excellent replacement, and even a step up, from those iBuds and Earpods that are included with every iPod and iPhone. Some have even said that these make a great starting point for anyone interested in better audio. So, do these live up to their reputation? Well, as always, I will..." --SlimShadyMJ
Lou Reed X10i Signature Edition Headphones
Rock & Roll Hall Of Famer Lou Reed once said, "If I hadn't heard rock and roll on the radio, I would have had no idea there was life on this planet." An undeniable truth comes through in Lou's music-a gritty passion mixed with beautiful surrealism. You can hear it with your gut as much as your ears. That's exactly why we've teamed up with the legendary...
Klipsch IMAGE S4 In-Ear Enhanced Bass Noise-Isolating Headphones
" These were the first IEMs I bought that were over 50$ after reading good reviews on it. Unfortunately I don't think they live up to the hype. They are definitely better than some of the other consumer-oriented brands such as Beats, Bose, etc. but they are not worth 70 or 80$. Note: I do not have my fully functioning S4 anymore because I recently lost it. (long story) The one I..." --FYLegend
Klipsch S3M-Blue-HP In-Ear Headphone, Blue
"If you look at my profile, I stay within a small range of products that have worked for my son and I. These include V-Moda, Westone, Audio Technica and Klipsch. Each have their own strenghts, like Westone does a bang up job of creating high end sound in an over the ear wearable IEM, V-Moda has some seriously well built headphones that have a very nice sound and the Audio Technica..." --DaddyMojo
Klipsch Image S4A - II In-Ear Headphones
"I recently bought a pair of Klipsch S4A because of their glowing reviews on certain tech websites. I figured I'd finally try out a Klipsch product to see what they sounded like. Overall, I don't mind them, but there are some LARGE issues with these IEMs. I gave the S4s a 20-ish hour burn period before I began to analyze their sound quality. Before the burn in, I did a bit of..." --DirtyHarry98
Klipsch Image X7i In-Ear Headphones
" I managed to find these $200 off retail (Canada). They are great IEMs but i believe the $300 tag is a bit high for Canadian buyers, I believe these can compete with earbuds around the $150-$200 range. They have an excellent signature, with the mids really coming forward. They have a good bass presence, one which is very smooth as opposed to punchy. The x7i's do an a good..." --Shloogle
Klipsch X11i Audiophile In-Ear Headphones with Remote & Mic - Black
As one of the world's smallest and lightest headphones, the luxurious Klipsch X11i is their finest achievement in headphones to date. Inside each museum-grade package lives a pair of superior audiophile headphones with tangle-free cords, a three-button remote for control over music and calls, and patented oval ear tips in multiples sizes to ensure maximum noise isolation and comfort....
Klipsch ProMedia In-Ear Premium Noise-Isolating Gaming Headphones with Mic (Black/Red)
"These are solid IEM's. I've owned mine for about 2 years and they're still working. They're showing serious wear, but still working. They are decent at low volumes but the bright mid-range and grainy, sharp treble is tough to listen to a lot of music through. The newer versions of the S4 seem to be an improvement. The bass is decent, but lacks extension and is a bit wild. Definitely bleeding..." --phillyd
Klipsch Image X10 Noise-Isolating Earphone
" I am not going to try to describe the sound of these IEMs. I am new to the audiophile world, and don't have the appropriate training to give anyone a good description of their sound. I am sure that there are plenty of posts out there that can help with that! That being said, I love the sound of these phones, but I hate everything about the cable. It is very stiff (a property that has..." --dayh8

" Hi guys, this is my first review. So plz be easy on the replies thx. So the Reference S4s........ BASS: Boomy out of the box, but after some burn-in, it is more recessed and like i said, it feels tappy compared to my TF10s.

This is amazing!
You've bit the bullet and started using Google Docs with your learners. They're happily sharing stuff with you, but there's so much stuff in your shared folder it's all becoming a mess. How do you organise everything so that only the relevant stuff is shared, it's all in a structure your can navigate, and keep track of everything?
Shame it's not free, but at $4 per student per year Teacher Dashboard for Google Apps might just save your sanity ;-)

How do you get all the key accessibility messages you want publishers to have in a mobilephone-friendly way? This worked..
Marie Schoeman's curator insight, April 16, 11:06 PM
A useful guide for publishers on how to go about making publications accessible for people with print disabilities in line with the Marakesh agreement.

Creative Commons is a great source for an extremely wide variety of photos, sketches and graphics that can be used free of charge. No licensing or royalties, EVER! It is a way to share work by making it available free of charge while still protecting it from others taking advantage of your work. Multiple levels of licensing/protection can be attached, from free use and editing rights all the way to non-commercial personal/educational use only with attribution, commercial use requires permission.
Chris Eller's curator insight, April 29, 5:17 PM
As a fan of Google Docs, I am still frustrated at its lack of features...such as creating a bibliography. All of the tools available (Papers, Sente, etc.) integrate well with Microsoft Word. Not so with Google Docs. Perhaps we are turning a corner with the addition of add-ons like EasyBib. Still a long ways from the powerful integration of Papers and Word.
Mark Ayton's curator insight, April 3, 10:18 AM
When you're comfortable with MS Office, despite the sharing and real-time collaboration advantages, the leap to Google Docs can seem just too much! Then there's all your existing Word, Excel and Powerpoint files, will they all need reworking?
Fret no more! MS has replicated just about every Google feature in a very familiar Office environment. It's web-based so will run on any device with a browser. It has all the common MS Office menu items and features, plus it allows sharing and real time collaboration. There are even forms for collecting survey / quiz data in spreadsheets.
I'm not aware of any scripting / add-in capability yet, but I'm sure it won't be far away.
Channylt's curator insight, March 31, 9:40 AM
An example of how a social media web 2.0 micro-blogging tool Twitter can be used for academic teaching and learning in the digital age. As a digital designer social media is the new frontier that I am excited to learn about and to use in an effective and purposeful way in e-learning design.
The constructivist learning model allows teachers to underpin specific learning outcomes or guidelines in how they would like learners to use Twitter but this does not mean that learners cannot go beyond this.
Teachers can apply the SAMR model at all phases but I will focus on the transformational nature of twitter and that it has allowed Redefinition creating new tasks that were previously inconceivable.

(DETROIT - WJBK) There are plenty of people who call this a sad day, a charismatic leader who at age 31, was given the keys to the city..12 years later he's locked up and 'those' keys are thrown away. Kwame kilpatrick is not the first official to go to prison. Detroit is not the only city that has seen it happen. But as we move past this day and this event, let's focus on the leaders we have in place. What we saw today should send them a message. That they will be held accountable and that there is a price to pay. What we saw today should also send the people of Detroit and all communities a message. That they will be held accountable too, for the decisions they make in electing people to guide them. The mistakes made in the past have cost us national reputation-and at least an estimated million dollars-plus in legal fees that 'we the people" pay when our leaders go astray. It's my view that this sad day can turn into a bright one if we all learn from others' mistakes and there are plenty of lessons from which to learn. That's my view, we'd like to hear from you, please add your comments to this page.

Hey Lissa, have you heard about Alabama's new first lady, Dianne Bentley? She is a quilter who wants to help put a spotlight on the talented quilters in the state of Alabama. She drove her husband everywhere on his campaign and made a quilt out of his ties while she waited in the car during his appearances. This lady needs a box of Moda Fabrics so she can quilt in style! :)

"I will give thanks to Thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And will glorify Thy name forever." Psalm 86:12 NASB
The psalmist found himself deep in trouble, suffering in the midst of difficult circumstances. He begins this lament psalm by crying out for God to hear his prayers and save his life. As he pleads for God's help, he remembers that God is gracious, loving, and does mighty deeds. This realization of God's greatness leads him to express his praise and thanksgiving to God.Subscribe to Read!

Despite a slow start in 2006, U.S. titanium shipments are now in line to match their all-time record on the strength of a third quarter that was 37 percent ahead of the year-earlier period.
Domestic shipments of mill products totaled 7,650 tonnes (16.9 million pounds) in the third quarter compared with 5,570 tonnes in the third quarter of 2005, according to figures released by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), which said 73 percent of mill product and castings shipments during the period were shipped for aerospace applications. The third quarter also matched the 7,610 tonnes shipped in the second quarter.

A man bought a house from the city of Highland Park, then poured thousands into fixing it up. When he tried to get the deed, he was told the city doesn't own the property.Watch Amy Lange's full video report above.Kushish Shaffee bought this home on Colorado Street for $1,500 from the city of Highland Park. He spent more than $12,000 on top of that to renovate the house, getting it ready for his family to move into. Problem is, the city didn't have the right to sell the house. They didn't even own it! The Housing Commission owns it, and have changed the locks to keep Shaffee out of it, The Housing Commission says their houses are tied to federal government programs and can't just sell properties without a long and complicated process. It turns out that Highland Park quit claimed this specific house to the Housing Commission in February of 2012. It's not known why it was still on the city's list of properties for sale. Highland Park is willing to reimburse Shaffee, but only for the $1,500 he paid to buy the house.

You have hardly seen me on the forum this month. I thought it would be good to let you know why.
One of the reasons is that it has been very busy at work. I have been working more hours a day and than there remains just very little spare time.
Another reason is that my computer is having serious problems. At first it was just with the internet, but now I cannot use my computer at all. My computer is in repair and hopefully I will have it back soon. For the time being I will have to use my mobile or a computer when visiting friends. Making digital scraps is out of the question at the moment

I was at a fruit stand off of the freeway yesterday that's run by some middle-eastern folks. I picked up a bottle of something called "yogurt soda". It looked like a bottle of water with a layer of white goop at the bottom. You're supposed to shake it gently to mix the yogurt goop with the soda water. The guy at the checkstand told me that it's consumed to replace salt lost in the heat and warned me that this stuff sprays all over. He was right - I ended up with it all over myself by the time I got the cap all the way off.
The stuff was pretty weird. It tasted like salty cold sour milk with fizz. The sour milk aspect was pretty strong - there was a potent odor to it and my wife immediately told me it had obviously gone bad. Anyone else ever have this? Was the sour milk aspect just the result of a particularly fragrant fermentation for the yogurt or was the stuff really bad?

Prosecutors have wrapped up their first full week of building their case for the jury in the Kwame Kilpatrick corruption trial.
One day after the feds questioned pay outs to Kilpatrick's wife, Carlita, prosecutors zeroed in on payments to a nonprofit overseen by Bobby Ferguson's wife, Marilyn.
Friday was Lisa Shoemaker day in federal court. The Michigan budget official testified for more than three hours that state officials didn't like the way Ferguson's Detroit Three Dimensional Community Development Corporation spent state grant money.
$100,000 went to U.N.I.T.E., a company Carlita Kilpatrick created to teach conflict resolution. More than $79,000 went to refurbish a training area at Ferguson's headquarters. $25,000 went for temporary housing for seniors, and more than $20,000 went for professional fees for a total of more than $224,000 in taxpayer money.
Ferguson's wife, Marilyn, told state officials the money was used properly, and defense attorneys countered that if state officials were really concerned about the way the money was spent, they would've tried to get it back.
"Nothing illegal has happened and it's not just because of the presumption of innocence. They've said so. They had concerns. In may have been... ethical concerns, but even if it was an ethical concern, they never followed up on it ethically, and an ethical concern is not a basis for a RICO charge," said Kilpatrick attorney Jim Thomas.
Shoemaker testified that she advised her bosses it wouldn't be worth the effort and urged them to forget about it.

CTA train service was getting back to normal Thursday afternoon, hours after a car on a southbound Red Line train derailed in the Lincoln Park neighborhood.
The last car of a southbound Red Line train lost contact with the rails as it was approaching the Armitage station late Thursday morning, according to CTA spokeswoman Catherine Hosinski.
Riders on that car were moved to other cars, she said. According to Fire Media Affairs, 64 passengers were moved to the platform and another 100 were able to get on a train that pulled up alongside the derailed train.
All the cars on the train were "upright and stable," according to Fire Media. An EMS Plan I response, which sends at least five ambulances, was called as a precautionary measure.
No injuries were reported by Fire Media, but unconfirmed dispatch reports said one person was taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center.
In the wake of the derailment, there was no Red Line service between Belmont and Cermak-Chinatown, and no Brown Line service between Belmont and Clark-Lake. The CTA was operating shuttle buses for affected riders. The Purple Line Express was also unable to operate because of the derailment.
By about 3 p.m. service on the Red, Brown, and Purple lines was returning to normal, Hosinski said.
