I can't imagine someone else touching my feet (or touching anyone else's feet but my husband's or kids'). I just got my nails done for the second time ever and was ho-hum about it. I'm going to try doing them myself for a while (acrylic, white tips)...but if that doesn't pan out well, I'll...

We did some homeschool work this morning, and then we went grocery shopping this afternoon. My 3yo was not made for grocery trips! He's such a stinker. My 8yo was a great help today though. Now I just want to sit and read my ASL books, but I need to finish putting away the groceries (cold...

Overwhelmed at the thought of going to the library with my 3yo and 1yo (big kids coming too). We went to the bookstore to peruse ASL books, and what started out as a pleasant trip ended with me yelling in the parking lot :Oops: Too bad Daddy has a meeting tonight, otherwise I'd just leave the...

Thank you! That is what I will do then.

I thought I posted a response... Maybe I forgot to hit reply. Apparently I have some English grammar issues too! My husband teases me. My mother had POOR English (not deaf or hoh, just from an uneducated family), so I did my best at school to pick up the correct way to say things, but...

Thank you Mimsy! She is a slow teether. My oldest got 2 teeth at 4mo, 3 more at 5mo and just went quickly through it. My youngest got her first at 7mo and she's just sooooooo slow about it! It's agony for her and everyone who is around her somedays. She's almost got those molars in though...

I'm new here too, but I just wanted to say I'm so sorry. I think of how heartbroken I would feel if I had lost my husband and I just want to cry for you. Already I can tell you are such a sweet lady.

I've been reading through your ASL only thread and I have to say it has helped me understand the grammar of ASL quite a bit more. I have books on call from the library that should be here any day now that will hopefully help (they're well reviewed). I wanted to teach my kids a Bible verse though...

We're going to do a little homeschool work (such a mean mom, I don't give the kids the summer off) and go to the store. And the dishes are calling me. Oh, and so is my GRUMPY GRUMPY GRUMPY one year old. She's teething, and she's about as miserable a teether as her 5yo sister was.

Definitely call Early Intervention for your city! There could be a waiting list, so get on it as quickly as possible. In the mean time, buy (or check out from the library) some ASL videos. There are lots of different kinds, but our favorite is Signing Time. The baby will start learning the...

Oh my, all your stories are making me think about my 3yo begging for a motorcycle. Someday he's going to give him Momma a lot of heart attacks!

I like watching my kids play outside. I don't really like to be hot and sweaty (but I don't like to be cold either...so picky!), but it's worth it to watch them play in the sprinklers or ride their bikes or color on the driveway. I also LOVE to wear skirts, so it's nice not to freeze to death...

That's what the friends of the parents told us. They said they used to be awesome parents, but their life just spiralled out of control in 6 short months. The kids are with the grandma now, as far as I know. Poor things. They were the SWEETEST kids!

We have 4 and we'll have more if God sees fit to expand our family. We both originally wanted 2. Well, dh originally wanted none, but our first was a surprise! I was a young mom, just 20 when he was born, but I'd do it all again exactly the same way. I see myself at almost 30 as having...

That's so awfully sad. We've had neighbors similar to this in the recent past. Broke my heart to have their kids over asking for food and in need of clean clothes/diapers (or clothes at all, the youngest was outside in just a shirt with frost on the ground). I don't get what is wrong with people.

My husband sells a lot on ebay. He used to message people once a week to leave fb, but he finally gave up. He gets really excited now if someone leaves fb. Otherwise he just leaves it alone. Some people just don't get it I guess. It drives me crazy because he works really hard to make a...

Guess I should have stopped here first before responding to the "why are you learning ASL?" thread. Sorry. I'm Jen. I have 4 kids, 8, 5, 3, and 1. We homeschool and we've been learning ASL as our choice for a second language. We love it. We're using Signing Time videos for now (which is my...

Lots of reasons for me. My first intro to ASL was in elementary school when we learned a few songs with some signs. I thought it was really amazing, but I had no clue at the time that I could learn more, I just waited around for another opportunity at school, that never presented itself. In...
