Below are some fun DYK blinkies--feel free to snag any if you like:

Thanks Laura! They just think it all started back in the spring with the sodium problem, and she just won't try to get herself out of it. They've told her all summer that she has to make herself do things, and she just won't. I'm going to visit tomorrow, so I guess we'll see what happens then.

Same here!Notthat Gabby does all that much around the house anyway.She is strarting to cook dinner,but I pretty much clean as she goes.Plus yesterday she was browning garlic,I stepped outside to bring in some laundry,I come in the house and I smell gas.I asked if she smelled it she said yes but she didn't know what it was.She did not turn the burner on all the way.However,her spaghetti and meatballs was pretty good other than that.On Sunday we made chicken cordon blue strips(Rachael Ray recipie)I still help somewhat becaus eI still don't trust Gabby 100% with bubbling oil.;-)

DYK Rach did laundry when we got home from the beach yesterday...however, she left her clothes in the dryer, which is typical. Then she got upset w/me when I told her to get them out this AM before she went to the bus stop. She still has to take them upstairs & fold them...who knows how long that'll take ;-)

DYK both my girls have drawstring packs but they actually use theirs for sports. Rach is using hers for field hockey & Jamie for lacrosse.

DYK how tall is Abby now? I don't think girls grow that much, maybe 2" at the most in HS. I'm waiting for Jamie to go thru a growth spurt; since Rach is tall its hard for me to tell how much Jamie is growing but it wouldn't surprise me if I end up being the shortest one in the family.

Don't you love how they get annoyed about everything we say?Last night Gab was annoyed with me because I told her she really should finish finding pictures for her vocab words,since they are due on Wed.Tonight she gets home at 3:10 we leave at #;30 and are not home til 8:30 there is no way she is going to want to do that then have to print it when she gets home that late,since she also has to shower and she may have other homework and trust me by that time of night she will be in tears because she is stressed
