Lenora~ Your kindergarten experiences sounded kind of familiar. My youngest son's birthday is in November so technically he could have waited, because the Cali school system is that the child had to turn 5 yrs old by Dec. So, he was a YOUNG kindergartner. It showed in various ways! So he managed but struggled with it as a…

Yinka in UK, awe, yep I think my kid is what I term as "scary smart". This is a kid that in 2nd or 3rd grade exclaimed to a friend he was walking to school with, " You don't know about D-Day, or Normandy?? ". Then he gave me this exasperated look. I just said, "son, not everyone your age knows that, most haven't learned…

Janetr. When we moved up to Oregon from Cali, he was a scared, lonely kid. When my husband had his first "ammonia coma" from liver failure, it was in Cali. My dear son was in 8th grade, and had no coping skills to deal with a sick Dad. When I had to leave him at home and go with the ambulance, it was about 2AM so I told…

So I have to brag.. My dear youngest son came home from school today and handed me an award he won. Who has the highest GPA in the Senior class? Yep that's my son! Woohoo!! He rec'd a 4.33. I can't say enough amazing things about him. OK my gushing is done.

Good morning my ladies, OK I woke up with a phone call from my eldest sister. She had to confess that she left a message on my middle sisters cell phone. My eldest sister had looked on FB and noticed all the messages my middle sister was posting to our various cousin's but never actually posting anything to either of us. I…

Janetr. I think I am a carboholic! I tried to change up my macros from 50% carbs,30% fat, and 20% protein to carbs being 20% but it freaked me out! I like my whole grain breads, wild rices, and whole wheat pastas! I think I eat protein because it just makes the veggies and carbs taste better. But actually I know I don't…

Janetr Well Cheerios makes a honey but cereal with bits of oats in it. Got it at the food bank, definitely not something I would buy for myself! There is added protein in it a guess... I think I might just eat it in 1 cup portions for a snack, not just for breakfast. Then I can pick out the clusters of oats! Hugs friend!…

Oh so today has been wonderful! Rec'd some cereal Cheerios Protein, so had that this morning. For lunch, I had a great fresh spinach salad, with walnuts, parmesan cheese, cold noodles with fat free ranch dressing. That, with some mandarin oranges, and it was really satisfying! I spent a couple of hours out on my balcony,…

Hereslibby welcome to a great place! Congrats upon your weight loss thus far! (Just did a mental cartwheel for ya)!! Don't take it to heart about what husband said men are just wired different than us. I lost an amazing amount of weight once, thanks to a lady named Jenni Craig, and husband never realized it! He knew I had…

I admire you all that have taken an active role in fighting this thing called aging! For me, I kind of just submitted to it. Many of my friends here are between 60-90 yes old. At our KOA campgrounds, they have an indoor pool. If you are a local senior citizen, you can swim for free. So at 51 I went, along with my 'legal'…

Music is therapy for me. When I want to unwind I try to get either to a local medical bldg that has a baby grand piano, and I play for an hour. Or I head over to a walking path, if its nice weather, and as I am facing Youngs Bay, I sing the opera songs I know. My momma and grandmothers listen, I think. I sing most every…

Heck it cut off... Well hugs to everyone today! Becca Oregon

Hey my sweet ladies! Hair conversation: I have had my "streak of grey" since my 40's and its what makes me, ME. I tell the salon ladies, "Heck, people pay for this $h1t ya know?". Yes it probably does make me look older, but I see the matriarch's in my family when I look in the mirror. That gives me comfort. I will post…

Hello my fine ladies! You know I don't really have a green thumb, but that African Violet would tell you different! I rec'd this plant in October, from my neighbor next to me. You know the one that swears like a sailor?! She was driving down to California, to obtain a better car from a relative. I was amazed she made it…

Katla. Sorry you're having sleeping problems. Sometimes it's like I organize stuff in my sleep! Or my brain doesn't have an off switch! Glad your bath helped :smile: Becca Oregon

Aaaaack! My dear husband just commented on a pic I posted on FB. He said that I don't actually take the best photos. My brain will translate that into a picture just doesn't do me justice. Men can be so blunt! This was the pic:

Aaaack! My son however is Ecstatic about what I just baked! Yellow buttercream cake! I made mini loaves and some cupcakes. He said,"Oh I shall take them to school and everyone will wish a bite, but will I give them some, heck no!". I just smiled and said, "You are easily impressed!". I will admit the cakes looked really…

Ha! Did someone call me a super model!?! You all are so cute! You know mentally I carry all of ya in my hip pocket, (so THATS why my caboose is so BIG!) Olivia is just the most innocent sweetest thing ever! Lenore great job on the 5.5 lb loss! And who's prom dress are you paying half for? All the shortened titles got me…

I think Gloria the one issue I can't relate to is all the mental problems you shared. That can affect all aspects of a child's development sadly. He is lashing out any way he can. Having his mom explain to him things is the first step. By not its just delaying the inevitable. I have recognised that boys actually thrive on…
-
Ah Gloriasorry about your GS issue! The only way boys put homework first is when an adult is in their personal space 24-7. So many times I have had to remind sons their JOBS. To be a student listening with their ears open and mouths closed! That teachers have a job too and when they act up in school its wasting the…

My left eyebrow is having "issues". Started out as ingrown hairs and now its healing.

Becca face photo 2-20-17. No stitch of makeup (don't own any it makes me feel claustrophobic).

My mother didn't like Cheetos, but she did like her crispy cheese curls. Nothing like shopping thru the store with an open bag, and then pay for an empty bag! Yep that was my mom! Becca
