    Too much time online

    I absolutely spend too much time online. I work from home as well, and work 8 hours a day and am about to start working evenings too. Hey, gotta do what you gotta do.

    Hurricane Isaac

    I'm on the MS Gulf Coast and regardless of the category we worry. Katrina was really a 2 when it came on shore (tons of research done years later proved that) and look what happened to us with that.

    The Tudors

    I absolutely loved that show. I've watched the whole show from start to finish numerous times on Netflix!

    Meddling Parents

    My inlaws were until they realized that I made educated decisions and didn't just decide things on a whim.

    Staying at home boredom

    I work from home and the only thing that drives me crazy is trying to create timeframes for doing things. The house work versus the work work. That does get difficult. I think once I find my groove I'll be happy.

    The Dentist

    I waited until my kids were three before we took them to the Dentist. By then we had talked lots about it and they had gone with me to see their older siblings having cleanings.

    Hotel and Waterpark

    Wow I have never heard of an indoor waterpark. We've never done anything like this, as we never have that much extra money at one time.

    What to do with a 1 1/2 year-old?

    Do any of your local parks have splash pads? Ours does. It's a big concrete play area with tons of water spouts coming up at different intervals. I bet he'd love that.

    Son and His Friend

    My oldest is only nine so we're not at the stage of him having friends that we don't like yet. So far he's friends with the children of who we're friends with so it's all good.

    It's almost here!

    Thank God for hunting and fishing. I'm in Mississippi. We definitely fill up our freezers that way here!

    New curriculum?

    I like the idea of this, as it's similar to the homeschooling point of view. I think it would be great to be able to move along if you're learning faster than the rest of the class.

    Saving for college

    Good luck to you on trying to figure this out. Every time I put money away something breaks or a big bill comes in and we have to take money from the savings to pay that with the 'savings'. I haven't been able to make this work yet and I've been a dad for ten years.

    Itchy scalp

    Do you or your parents/siblings have Psoriasis or Dermatitis? These are two big causes of itchy scalp too. My wife has Psoriasis and it started on her scalp and fingers and caused her to go into itching frenzies!!

    How much time?

    I have a ten year old with ADHD and he gets extremely angry when we tell him it's time to turn things off. We had to set schedules on how long and when he gets to play, and by putting a timer in there with him it tells him when time is up and at that point he feels that he is in charge of...

    First Timer - Just Discovered the Gender

    Congrats! My first was a boy also. It seems like forever ago since my son is about to turn ten this month. I remember the first few weeks he was here as feeling like I was in zombie mode, but know that it does get easier.

    You sound just like me! HAHA!

    Talking while you are on the computer

    There's something about seeing a comfy Dad that makes everyone think that they need you. It's a universal problem I think. LOL. Same way with the phone. If you get on it for any reason it's like there's an instant fight in my house with the kids.

    Annoying Facebook posts

    I think I'm a bit miffed when people use Facebook as their personal diary. There's some things that are just too much information and that the world doesn't need to know.

    Sick babies

    And you know it doesn't have to have anything to do with a dirty house. If they went with you to Walmart and rode in the buggy they could have picked it up there. It could be airborne, etc. With multiple kids, they pass stuff back and forth. Don't worry.

    Sick babies

    This is so true! One reason why we don't go to 'well' baby visits. They make the kids sick every single time.
