I would start creating responsibility charts too. They are old enough to have sets chores they have to do. Teaching them responsibility and having to pull their own weight around the house is not only very good for them, but it will help lighten your load a little. Even just having Jack clear the table and stack the dishes…

True! Actually quite disappointed this year as all 3 of my draws this year were unsuccessful. Looks like maybe some rabbits might be my only hunting this year :( TNP has never been on any big game hunts.

No. Why would you want to? Have you ever taken off on a road trip at last minute notice?

I am feeling so incredibly lucky. Spacing my kids apart 8 years wasn't what I thought was best but that is what ended up happening. I am beginning to feel it is the biggest blessing! My daughter is so helpful already. Today was great because I woke feeling sick and she was a huge help! Dishes, laundry, cleaning, etc ...…

Just once. It was pretty fascinating. Have you ever seen 'Lonesome Dove?' I just finished it - first 7 hour movie I have watched in my life, took 4 nights :p

False, I have. Only twice in my life though. Last time was 14 years ago. TNP has more than one child.

I never had a tear or episiotomy but, I swear I feel pulling and pain down there. It feels as if I there has been a cut or tear, or as if it is going to tear due to sharp pulling. Maybe it is possible that it is due to your previous cut. Maybe you and I are feeling kind of the same thing and you might be having that…

False. Love campfire, love being by the campfire - hate beer! TNP has gone camping at least once already this year.

No, used to do lots of goofy things with friends in public though when we were crazy teenagers and none of us cared what we looked like to anyone. Have you ever watched a full season of any TV series, without a break?

No. Have you ever played a video game from sunrise to sunset?

False, been to Las Vegas way too many times for my comfort and, in that city, they are almost unavoidable. TNP has never been to Las Vegas.

lol, my post on cloth diapers basically said I am a chicken :p I have several months supply of disposables already and don't think I will be attempting cloth. Baby food, however, is something I have experience in. Any more questions on that, feel free to ask. Cloth diapers you will need to ask someone else, lol.

So completely false! Yuck! TNP owns their home

Exactly! I work at an Elementary School and all of the best comments - and compliments! - I have received have been from the kids. I get two different views from people all the time. I have so many people asking me things like "are you having twins? You are huge!" and "Wow, you must be due any day now, you look like you…

It seems that none of it is reliable. I have heard of women being dilated, thinned and baby completely dropped for weeks ahead. I thought that at least the mucous plug meant something, that if it went then labor was soon but it sounds like that could happen weeks ahead too. If there is no apparant rhyme or reason to any of…

I have actually! Only once, I would love to go again. Have you ever caught a poisonous fish?

Yes, so much to do and I didn't get it all done. TNP has a garden.

A vitamix is good, great machine. I plan to exclusively make my own baby food, snacks and all. No commercial baby food/snacks for me. When starting, be sure to only give baby one type of food at a time. It is tempting to mix carrots and apples or potatoes and peas etc... but baby needs to have only one thing at a time to…

That is good to hear Kalyrra! Hope everything stays well and you take it easy!

I really don't understand the meaning behind that. Am I glad it is Wednesday? No not really. Week is going by too fast and I wish it were Monday again, I have so much I need to accomplish before weekend gets here. TNP goes hunting.

Nada. Been stuck at the border for hours trying to get back in the US from Mexico though. They were being ridiculous! Have you ever been to Mexico?

Usually, yes. I normally love when it is getting warm, it is finally camping season and all the fun stuff we usually do during the summer. This summer though the heat is killing me, I can't go camping and am just home now awaiting baby. TNP carries a gun.

Not for someone else no, just wanted to leave. Have you ever read the book 'A Child Called It?'

Yes. Two times. Both as a passenger. Both ended in horrible accidents. Never again! Have you ever been severely injured in an accident?

True. Many times, usually we save them but this last time - a few days ago actually - it did not survive, it was so sad. TNP has owned an unusual pet.

I think the summer heat is my problem! Just as soon as it hit 100° here is when I started getting the stupid water retention, I started gaining weight faster and my feet are swelling. They are only really swollen when I spend too much time in the heat or in mid day and every night they go back down. I think my body doesn't…

Oh wow Megan! That sounds very challenging. 3 kids is hard enough, being a single mom is really hard and being pregnant is tough - now mix em all together and what have you got? Ahh! What a challenge! How are you holding up?

Nope, just where they investigate aliens and hide 'proof' of their existence, lol TNP believes aliens (the green version, not just the belief of life in other places) exist.

Not what you want to hear, I am sure... I never had this but have a very close friend that did. Hers never moved.

As a child, that was one of my favorite things. Not such a big deal to me now. TNP loves the circus.
