I'm a Hair Hazard! (Pantene Samples)

02 Feb 2007 04:33 AM

btw, the test says my stands are safe, that's because I basically leave my hair alone... no drying, little combing, etc. Ps. I am thinning too... nobody ever warned me about this!

Pantene is awesome... anything that gives my gravity resistant hair some body is wonderful.

When you say 1 meal a day, you mean 1 meal and fruits and veggies for your other meals, right?

Interplanetary Parenting

Being homeshcooled, my kids are a little less radical because of lack of peer pressure. However, each child has their own unique way of dressing. My daughter is from the school of Pipi Longstocking (lots of stripes and mis matchin), and my Son is Sophisticated Urban (Loose jeans with dress shirts and apple caps.)

As for piercings, I follow the same rules my mom instituted. You can do whatever you want when you are 21... not 18, 21. If we waited that long, she would buy diamond jewelry for the peircings. Somehow my need for a nose ring wore off, and my brother got a HUGE diamond studs for his single ear!

Tatoos is my pet peave. I feel like it will exclude your from certain professions, even being the spouses of people in certain professions later in life. Tatoo removal is a pain!

When it Gets Too Hard to Help With Homework

After my graduation ceremony, my husband (then boyfriend) said to me. "You have proven you can learn". I wanted to bop him, but that is really all a college degree means... being able to learn information needed for the moment. Actually retaining what was taught in middle and high school... that's a huge feat!

Celebrating Black History Month

01 Feb 2007 09:06 AM

We live near the King Center and will definately visit this month. I like your music exposure approach. At the homeschool classes my kids attend, they reported being singled out (being the only black kids) during lessons this past week so be careful of that... (Child's name) would not be able to have class with us if it were not for Dr. King. It made them very uncomfortable. Last year they got to take turns "playing at being slaves". Another bad idea... but they did try, and fortunately my kids tell me everything so I was able to point out what I did and did not like about these lessons.

Are Single Sex Classes the Solution?

01 Feb 2007 07:32 AM

I bet you would get more male teachers if there were more all male classes. Many men would jump at the chance to mentor such a group... however, I bet they would get paid more creating that seperate, but not quite so equal dillema.

Out to Eat with All the Boys

After our second was born, we gave up our real restaurants until she was about 4. It wasn't worth the heartburn! At 10 and 12, they can still be quite entertaining at times!
