2. *~*~*~*~* ROLL CALL -- Sign in with Your Name, Family Size, and When Do You Start Shopping for and Preparing Thanksgiving Dinner? *~*~*~*~* (nt) - ckmom 11 days ago (15)

Michelle, 6 kids and I bought a turkey over the weekend b/c Wal-mart had them for $.60/lb. - most of the rest will likely be bought next weekend (nt) - queenmommy911 11 days ago

Michelle (39) & Martin (40) with 5B, 0G, & ^6^s. We start shopping for Thanksgiving in September - preparing Thankgiving dinner foods starts about 3 days before. Partially because my oldest birthday is around that time. (nt) - SevenMs 11 days ago

You know your old when (more inside) - SevenMs 11 days ago

Kate with 4 kids...I don't host Thanksgiving so I don't have to worry about it too much. This year I will be making some sort of vegitarian dish and a pie to bring to MIL's...I am bouncing some ideas around in my head but haven't decided yet what they will be. (nt) - mama-san 11 days ago

Julie (36) with 7 kids...In-Laws are hosting Thanksgiving so dont have to worry about it this year. (nt) - Julieworkingon8 11 days ago

Angie(33) and Mike (40) w/7 kids depends if we are hosting are not. This year I don't think we are but my extended family has a way of forcing me to do it... so we'll see (nt) - gmomof7 11 days ago

Alison & Rob w/4 kids. I just bring rolls so I make them the day before or that morning. (nt) - wantabunch 11 days ago

Melissa (28) & Dennis (42) with 3 kids...we just bought everything we need for dinner yesterday. Usually prep a few things the day before. (nt) - Melissa 11 days ago

Caroline & Melvin with 6 kids...I normally shop about two weeks before Thanksgiving and start cooking the Monday before the holiday. I start with desserts on Monday, sides on Tuesday, and do the ham and turkey Wednesday night into Thursday morning. (nt) - ckmom 11 days ago

JennP (37) with 5. I usually start shopping about 2 weeks before. Starting cooking the day before... (nt) - tripntwinmom 11 days ago

Cathy, 34, 37 weeks tomorrow with baby #4 I don't have to make Thanksgiving dinner. We usually get together with my family and everyone brings something. Much easier that way!!! (nt) - mommacat 10 days ago

*~*Do You Live in A Four Season Area? If Not, What Is Your Climate Like?*~* (nt) - ckmom 11 days ago

We have 4 seasons, with the cooler ones being milder and the warmer times being warmer and more humid (nt) - queenmommy911 11 days ago

Yes! Well we actually joke that here in Maine there are actually 6 seasons: Spring, Mud, Black Fly, Summer, Fall, and Winter (nt) - SevenMs 11 days ago

Yep! In northern Minnesota, Mud came right after Winter! (nt) - tiddlywinks 11 days ago

Here it can actually come before or after (sometimes both) Spring. It depends on the amount of snow or rain. (nt) - SevenMs 11 days ago

I live in New England so technically yes, although that doesn't mean the seasons behave as they should. (nt) - mama-san 11 days ago

We just moved from New England so this is our first November down South and its in the high 70's...not used to not having to bundle children up! (nt) - Julieworkingon8 11 days ago

4 seasons but it's pretty dry. Winters are usually around 40 most of the time, with snow a couple times that doesn't usually stick more than a few hours. Spring is variable with rain. Summers hot 90-100, Fall is nice and cool. (nt) - wantabunch 11 days ago

We definitely have four seasons in Indiana complete with hot and humid summers, blistery and snowy winters, and beautiful and mild springs and falls. (nt) - ckmom 11 days ago

Ummm. Nope...In Texas (well, near the Gulf) we have hot and less hot. That is about it! Because we are so close to the Gulf, cold fronts fizzle out by the time they get here. Other parts of Texas get more seasons, but we don't.... (nt) - tripntwinmom 11 days ago

I'm camping out here! I too am in Texas, Central Texas, but we don't have real seasons either. We have almost summer, summer, practically still summer, and a little cold for a month that is suppose to be winter!!! (nt) - mommacat 10 days ago

*~*If You Live in a Four Season Area, What's Your Favorite Season and Why? If You Don't Live in a Four Season Area, Is There Any Season You Miss or Wish You Had?*~* (nt) - ckmom 11 days ago

I like spring b/c of all the flowers blooming and it's not quite summer heat yet (nt) - queenmommy911 11 days ago

I prefer fall because its not too hot or humid, yet its not so cold that breathing is difficult. Plus, the bugs are generally at a minium. (nt) - SevenMs 11 days ago

I love Spring because I love the tulips and watching everything turn green and come alive again. I also love planning the garden. I love fall because of the harvest/bounty of the earth, watching the leaves turn pretty colors, and back-to-school. Summer & Winter are too hot/too cold. (nt) - wantabunch 11 days ago

I live in IN where we are known for having all four seasons but also where weather can change at the drop of a hat. I love Spring and Fall much like Alison said. Right now we're enjoying a very mild November which I love. I wish it could be this way most of the winter with just a few days of cold and snow so the kids can play. (nt) - ckmom 11 days ago

*~*What's Your Favorite Holiday and Why?*~* (nt) - ckmom 11 days ago

Christmas b/c of all the fun stuff that goes w/having kids - cookies, silly carols, crafts, surprises (nt) - queenmommy911 11 days ago

I'd have to say The 4th of July (m) - SevenMs 11 days ago

Christmas because of the meaning, and the excitement/anticipation of the kids. I love Christmas songs, too. Love Christmas & Thanksgiving because families get together & have a yummy meal! (nt) - wantabunch 11 days ago

I think it's a toss up between Halloween and Christmas for me. Halloween is lots of fun in our neighborhood so it's a new favorite for me. I have always loved the tradition and family togetherness of Christmas. (nt) - ckmom 11 days ago

Christmas. I love the traditions that I share with the kids, the movies on TV, the baking, the get-togethers with friends etc... (nt) - tripntwinmom 11 days ago

Christmas!!! The meaning of Christmas is most important and the whole season is magical!!! (nt) - mommacat 10 days ago

*~*Do You Put Up Thanksgiving or Fall Decorations? Do You Have Them Up Already?*~* (nt) - ckmom 11 days ago

No fall decorations until the kids do crafts (nt) - queenmommy911 11 days ago

On non homeschooling years it depended on the kids interest in doing so. On Homeschool years - we do all holidays, including a few non traditional ones. (nt) - SevenMs 11 days ago

I used to do a nice outside display with hay bales, pumpkins, gourds, and corn stalks. Haven't done that in years though. Sometimes the kids put out crafts they have made at school for Thanksgiving Day. (nt) - ckmom 11 days ago

We have a turkey flag and a wooden turkey we display. Seems like something else too but don't remember what yet. Gotta get those out!! (nt) - mommacat 10 days ago

*~*Does Anyone Have Their Christmas Decorations Up Already? If Not, When Will You Put Them Up? Anyone Choose Not to Decorate for Christmas?]*~* (nt) - ckmom 11 days ago

I'm not sure how we'll be handling Christmas decorations this year. Little bit is due the day of, so I'll have plenty of time beforehand to decorate, but the taking down while very pregnant or w/a newborn in the house...eeek! (nt) - queenmommy911 11 days ago

Not up yet, but only because I have always waited until after Thanksgiving. After my Ds1 was - SevenMs 11 days ago

We put everything up the day after Halloween, I love just having the glow of the tree lights on at night. (nt) - Julieworkingon8 11 days ago

We used to put them up the day after Thanksgiving - Melissa 11 days ago

We used to have the biggest display in our neighborhood. We would start putting them up at the end of October/beginning of November depending upon the weather. Over the years, many of our decorations have been damaged by wind, worn out, and several were damaged two years ago when we had a mouse infestation in the garage. Last year, we barely put anything up the week of Christmas and the tree we got was total crap. Hoping for a much better tree this year at least. Don't know if I will get any outside decorations put up as I will be finishing up course work for this semester through the middle of December and getting ready to student teach in January. (nt) - ckmom 11 days ago

I put everything up the week of Thanksgiving. I have that whole week off and the guys that put up the lights on the outside get over that week as well... (nt) - tripntwinmom 11 days ago

Growing up we always put ours up the day after Thanksgiving. We don't usually put them up quite that soon now. We leave them up usually through Ephiphany to cover the whole Christmas Season!! (nt) - mommacat 10 days ago

5. *~*~*~*~* Did You or Will You Eat Breakfast Today? What's on the Menu? *~*~*~*~* (nt) - ckmom 11 days ago (10)

Yes, Dh loves to cook breakfast when he gets home so we had.... - SevenMs 11 days ago

tomorrow is - SevenMs 11 days ago

Yep, I had 2 pieces of peanut butter toast and OJ. Coffee too of course but that's not breakfast it's fuel. :) (nt) - mama-san 11 days ago

I don't normally eat breakfast, but today I had Honey Bunches of Oats with Cinnamon Clusters. I'd never had it before, and it was very good. (nt) - ckmom 11 days ago

I had one of my standbys - strawberry yogurt with granola. Mmmm... (nt) - wantabunch 11 days ago

10. Has anyone ever been on blood pressure meds? I am a relatively healthy 36 year old. I've been having headaches with no other symptoms. Went to a medical clinic over the weekend. My bp which normally runs at 100/70 was 140/90. The doc attributed the headaches to elevated bp and put me on lisonopril hydrochlorothiazide. He added fiorinal for the headaches and loratadine (which I guess is like Claratin). I have never taken more than the occasional antibiotic or headache medicine, so this is very overwhelming being on all these meds. (nt) - ckmom 11 days ago (9)

My DH is (m) - wantabunch 11 days ago

Thank you Alison:) You're the second person that has mentioned stress. My biggest stressor is school. I could drop that and relieve myself of tons of stress, but I am only eight months from finishing. I keep telling myself I can make it. I just hope it is not at the cost of my health. (nt) - ckmom 11 days ago

Yes. I'm 35 and have been on them since my late 20's. If you have any thoughts of wanting to conceive, you want to take a bp med other than lisinopril, though. - isaidstopit 11 days ago

Thanks Shannon... - ckmom 11 days ago

My doc didn't consider meds until I'd had several elevated readings - and this was a couple of years after #5 was born. (I wasn't on any bp meds with my first 5 pgs.) Sorry about no insurance - my dh lost his job 7 months ago, we are lucky to have the state medical assistance. Will you get insurance soon - or would you qualify for help? (nt) - isaidstopit 11 days ago

The kids are on the state insurance, but I think my DH makes too much money for us to qualify. But we can't afford his employer's insurance either. So, he & I will probably without until I finish school next summer and hopefully get a job with the school systems. I'm going to stop somewhere and check my bp today because I'm feeling really shaky and lightheaded all the time now. A nurse I know told me to watch for those signs that the meds are making my bp too low. (nt) - ckmom 10 days ago

I just posted over at TOK - I am appalled that he would put you on meds after only ONE high reading. Headache meds, yes, BP meds no. There are so many reasons for headache and so many side effects to BP meds. I wouldn't take them unless I was sure I needed them. (nt) - wildrose 10 days ago

Thanks Jen:) I'm going to update in a new thread since so many people have offered me advice on this. (nt) - ckmom 9 days ago

Did anybody watch House this week? I like that show, but I never seem to be able catch anything but re-runs. Also, is anyone else watching the CSI trilogy this week? I watched the first episode on CSI Miami last night. I think they've done this with two CSIs before, and at least two Law and Orders or maybe even three at a time. I guess you can tell it's sweeps time. (nt) - ckmom 10 days ago

You know you can watch the last 3 wks of House online? I'm usually putting kids to bed so I don't get to see it much either. The put the newest episode starting the next day on FOX's website. (nt) - wildrose 10 days ago

We started out watching CSI but hubby and I both fell asleep on the couch so we missed parts of it. Hopefully we can catch up Wed night on CSI NY!!!! I think the last times they had crossovers was when they were introducing a new CSI, hope they aren't gonna try and have 4 now! (nt) - mommacat 10 days ago

We normally watch CSI but we both just joined bowling teams on monday nights. I hope it's not hard what's going on. (nt) - gmomof7 10 days ago

15. Need ideas for a 7yo Star Wars Bday Party games. - mommacat 10 days ago (15)

Pinata comes to mind, remember blind folded Jedi swing at ball w/light saber? (nt) - 8monkeys 10 days ago

See I have no idea about the movies/series anything. All my son knows about Star Wars is what he has read from the books he has. And I"ve outlawed Pinatas around here, we have atleast 4 in a closet because they don't want to throw them away!!! OF course they are pull string can never find the one's you beat!!!! (nt) - mommacat 10 days ago

You can still beat the pull string kind....we do. Sounds like you should watch the movie? (nt) - room4more 10 days ago

I probably should but there are so many of them and really they just don't interest me. I know I saw them as a kid but now with the clone wars and such I have no clue about anything Star Wars. I was better with Transformers last year!!! (nt) - mommacat 10 days ago

LOL. I know, I'm not that into SW either, but my boys are. They have ALL the movies and they've played them over and over and over and over.....for YEARS. I'd just watch the 1st one, it's the best anyway ;-) (nt) - room4more 10 days ago

Pin the light saber on the Jedi. If you look online at party goods/ebay there should still be some of those floating around. (nt) - room4more 10 days ago

Wonder if my hubby could draw one? For my daughters 3rd bday I had him draw a huge Hello Kitty and we played pin the bow on kitty!! (nt) - mommacat 10 days ago

I'm sure he could! That would be cool. (nt) - room4more 10 days ago

16. How much do you spend per child at Christmas? - Robin5kids 10 days ago (5)

I don't worry about how much I spend, I make sure everyone has the same number of presents under the tree. I usually shop and try to find deals so I may have only spent $10 on it but it's worth way more. I've just never stressed over the dollar amount each. I know people who do that and it has to be the exact same amount on everyone but I just worry about the number of presents. Everyone has the same to open, of course my oldest is turning 7 so once I have a teen things may be different I don't know. (nt) - mommacat 10 days ago

I talk to the kids about it.... - room4more 10 days ago

we do the same number of boxes thing because they are still young enough that is what matters to them...now that katy is getting older (james emotionally is on level with jayden) if she wants more expensive things, i'll be able to explain to her and she'll understand...

Thank you, Michelle:) One of the nurses I talked to about it said the headache could be remnants of the flu symptoms I had. I didn't even know I was running a fever until I went to the health center yesterday. Hopefully I'll be back to being as healthy as I usually am soon. (nt) - ckmom 9 days ago

i get headaches when i'm just tired..it always seems to be my first symptom of anything and the last to leave...it's also a sign that i'm not taking enough care of myself like not eating or being dehydrated...i hope that the headache continues to go away and you're feeling better soon (nt) - serialmommy 9 days ago

Thank you Jamie:) I am feeling much better. (nt) - ckmom 8 days ago

I hope you're feeling better soon. Those headaches can be so debilitating. (nt) - tiddlywinks 8 days ago

Thank you, Kate. They are especially awful when I have to spend as much time on the computer as I do. I have been sorely neglecting my online class and struggling to make it to my on campus classes. I started my high school participation this week too. (nt) - ckmom 8 days ago

27. At my moms group yesterday we made some of those tied fleece blankets for our county's children's shelter...(more) - janemomofsix 9 days ago (4)

Go to the fabric store to get fleece, they often have remnants on sale, then you just cut them to the same size and tie them like you did yesterday. $20 does seem quite high! (nt) - Bonmomof4 8 days ago

I looked into making those blankets with my Girl Scouts, and I never found fleece cheap enough. The average price ON SALE in local stores is $9.99 per yard. I found an online store where it was about $6 a yard if you bought a certain amount. Considering the amount of fleece needed for each blanket times the number of girls in my troop I decided it was not economical. It is crazy that fleece costs so much when you can get fleece blankets in stores so cheaply. (nt) - ckmom 8 days ago

Hancock Fabrics has fleece on sale right now, if you have one near you. If you got a solid and a print to tie together and they were 1.5 yards each it would cost about $13.50 and you would have a blanket that is 54 in. by 58/60 in. Which may still be too expensive, but it is cheaper than the $20 or $40 that your moms' group made. (nt) - Bonmomof4 8 days ago

Rushing out the door for school, but I was obsessed with Star Wars. I went to see it at our local movie theater and drive in at least five times when it came out. And, I was soooooo excited when I got the movie on LP record for Christmas. I opened it before my mom got up and ruined the surprise! (nt) - ckmom 8 days ago

E.T. That was my favorite. My sister took me to see it like 5 times and I remember going to see the Secret of Nimh with her too but I don't know which came out first. (nt) - mommacat 8 days ago

eh, our eldest is 14 and doesn't do sleepovers. - msjennbug 8 days ago

I'm very relaxed about this I guess, usually by first grade. My now kindergarten 6yo went to all week church camp last summer. I do know the families and my 17yo was a counselor at camp. I have sleepovers here often with kids friends. (nt) - joyofsix 8 days ago

For us it isn't as much about the age of the child as it is about how well we know/trust the parents. Other than that the only thing we worry about is if we think the child will make it the whole night without wanting to come home. (nt) - room4more 8 days ago

For us it is about how well we know the families too. My girls always have sleep over birthday parties from age seven and on, and I am very involved at the school. I get to know the families well enough that I am comfortable. If it is a family I do not know, then the answer is no for any age. (nt) - ckmom 8 days ago

We don't do sleepovers. 1 in 4 (or 1 in 3 depending on the source) girls are sexually assaulted by the age of 18. sorry. grim, I know. But the vast majority are by people they know. - tiddlywinks 8 days ago

This is one of the reasons I said no. We have a child molester in our neighborhood. He is the father of a little girl the same age as my daughter. He had pled guilty to molesting a little girl from another family the same age as his daughter. He hasn't been sentenced yet. (nt) - Bonmomof4 7 days ago

We allow sleepovers also have let even our 5 yr old do it, but we live in a really small town & I know the parents well. (nt) - 8monkeys 7 days ago

Driving off a bridge and being stuck in my vehicle in the water. I've had a dream since I was little about driving off the edge of a bridge and then the electric windows don't work and I'm trapped in my car! (nt) - mommacat 7 days ago

*@* Do you subscribe to any superstitions, even it's just for silly fun (such as not crossing a black cat's path)? *@* (nt) - Admin 7 days ago

I'd be in trouble if I did. We have 2 black cats!!!! LOL!! (nt) - mommacat 7 days ago

I don't cross a black cats path. My dads mom did when he was little and that night his house burned down. (nt) - proudmommy5 6 days ago

*@* What is your one OCD "thing" ? *@* (nt) - Admin 7 days ago

My pantry. All the labels have to face out, things have to be grouped together, etc. Drives me nuts if it's not and if it's organized it's so easy to tell what you have when making a grocery list! (nt) - mommacat 7 days ago

my dh does this every once in awhile to ours, lol. (nt) - mama-san 7 days ago

My bed...it has to be made and it can have piles of folded laundry on it but nothing else piled on it. Drives me nuts when it's not made and/or covered in "stuff".... (nt) - mama-san 7 days ago

I like for everything to be in a place not just put in piles. My dh is a big one on piles. he will take one big stack and restack it someplace else with two or three stacks. it drives me crazy (nt) - proudmommy5 6 days ago

Need to get milk and bread sometime today, but it will not be until much later. Headed out now for a field trip with about 20 Girl Scouts for Science Day at a local university (the one I attend). Gotta get these girls interested in science!!!!!! (nt) - ckmom 6 days ago

42. *^*^*^*^* Weekend Roundup - What got done on the 2Do last week, what's planned for the week ahead? *^*^*^*^* (nt) - ckmom 6 days ago (2)

Nothing ever gets done here because of how busy I am with school and how busy DH is with work, but I have got to start thinking about Thanksgiving. I had a family meeting with some of the kids yesterday about whether or not they are going to voluntarily pitch in to get the house presentable. My brother may be bringing his new girl friend home for the first time. (nt) - ckmom 6 days ago

44. *^*^*^*^* Random Weekend -Were You Ever a Girl Scout or Girl Guide? How Long? *^*^*^*^* (nt) - ckmom 6 days ago (4)

I was a Brownie and a Junior. I can't remember exactly how long though...my mom thinks eight years but I have no recollection. (nt) - ckmom 6 days ago

I was a Brownie in Girl Guides. I remember very vividly dancing around a paper mache mushroom lol. I also remember selling cookies w/my sister, the Girl Guide. (nt) - janemomofsix 6 days ago

Very strange that I remember picking cookies up in the cookie mom's garage, but I don't remember selling them. I remember wearing my uniform to school, vague glimpses of meetings and ceremonies, one ice skating trip, one day camp trip, and the mall lock-in. They are all just like snapshots in my memory though. I can't remember anything vividly or completely. (nt) - ckmom 6 days ago
