    Wisdom Teeth

    I had all 4 pulled at once when I was 19. The dr told me to put ice on 20 mins on, 20 mins off. I also had a lot of anesthesia bec they couldn't keep me under so I ended up being at the dr all day bec I couldn't stay awake afterward. They had to kick me out at 5 pm. I also ate a lot of...

    christmas workout

    I did the first combo of the new Step Moves. It is the first time I have done step since September when we were in the middle of moving and our stuff was in storage. My new gym is all set up in the basement (thanks to my DH) and it was my inaugural workout in our new house! What an awesome...

    Stop teaching kids to write in cursive?

    I know that in the school district I teach in, cursive is taught but like everything else in NYS the curriculum here is so broad that they don't spend nearly enough time on it. My high school students can't always read my cursive. I don't use it often because I teach math. However you should...

    Pyramid Questions re music and high step

    This is my favorite Cathe dvd. It was my first one. I used to do UB on Monday, LB on Wed and SH bi's and tri's from FitTv on Fridays. I did this rotation for months and lost lots of baby weight.

    Since when do we not require our change??

    The drive thru is one of the best things ever invented. I rarely stop for coffee but I do use the one at the bank all the time. It is sooooo much easier when you have 2 little ones in car seats.

    Blizzard '09

    I'm in central NY and we have a snow day! The wind is worse than the snow right now. It is sleeting out as I type. I don't want to set foot outside.

    Vacuum recommendations

    I need recommendations for a handheld vacuum. I am tired of getting out the canister vacuum for small jobs. I have a DirtDevil stick vacuum that I don't use because it is so loud and doesn't pick up and I have a Swiffer vac that I love but need something easy to use on the carpet. Thanks.

    The problem with losing weight postpartum...

    Many hugs to you. You have had a rough start. BTW, my first daughter wouldn't breast feed bec she was 9 weeks preemie. I pumped every 3 hours for over 3 months. It was exhausting. By the time I got the baby fed and back to sleep I had to pump, wash everything, etc. When I went back to...

    boppy pillow or my bestfriend pillow?

    I used a regular pillow. The boppy in our house became known as "The Boppy Chair" because we would put a blanket in it and the babies would sit in it like it was a big recliner. It was also good when they started to push up on their arms. My kids still like to play with it now, but I never...

    Any one had the swine flu jab?

    I would get it. I am not pregnant so I can't get the shot yet but I have a daughter who is high risk so both my kids got it. As soon as it becomes available both DH and I will get it. Liann, I haven't been on the forums much lately and didn't know you were pregnant. Congrats.

    My toddler won't nap

    I have taken her in the car at times but the problem is I have to wait for my younger daughter to finish her nap and by then it is kind of late for the older one to take a nap. I have thought about trying to start a quiet time but she is a VERY active child and doesn't sit still for long...

    80s fancy dress party

    I am a teacher and for spirit week we had an 80s day so I went back to my high school routine. My hair was huge and teased and I wore just about every bracelet and necklace I owned. I also had the slouchy socks over my jeans and tons of makeup. My jeans weren't stonewashed though. It was...

    My toddler won't nap

    My DD is almost 3. She will not nap at home on the weekends but naps everyday at the babysitters house. There she gets right in a little nip-nap chair and sleeps. At home it is the battle of all battles. I have even tried changing her nap time to later at home and it doesn't help. She just...

    chrismtas music already?!?!?!

    Our local radio station has been playing Christmas music since Nov 1. This is the third or fourth year that they have done. They play it 24/7. Then it stops on Dec 26. Isn't Christmas season from Thanksgiving til New Year's? When they start playing it so early I then think "they are playing...

    Why do I have guilt?

    You shouldn't feel guilty. Kids need to learn how to play on their own. It is not like you are setting them in front of the TV all day and ignoring them. I was a stay at home mom for about 15 months. I went back to work and I think I am a better mom because of it. Because I know that I have...

    Where is Jai?

    This may have been brought up already as I haven't been on very much lately, but where is Jai? I noticed that she hasn't been in any of the pics I have seen for Shock Cardio. Maybe I just missed her.
