What about eating issues?

We have debated sleeping issues to death once again....so what about another one of the issues of childhood....eating and/or not eating?


My kids eat just about anything and have a pretty well rounded diet.

But I think your rigid nap schedules are part of what make you *need* efficiency. If dh is at home with teh kids while they nap, and isn't accomplishing something else that is on the "schedule/todolist" then it doesn't increase efficiency ... unless that nap time is part of that schedule/todolist.


We don't always do things together ... we were out of town this weekend anddidn't get grocery shopping done so I had to do it last night after work. Woulud have been silly for me to drive home, pick up the family and then go shopping. So, dh picked the kids up, took them home and did laundry while I grocery shopped.

Choose your friends by their character and your socks by their color.  Choosing your socks by their character makes no sense and choosing your friends by their color is unthinkable.

True story:


My sister spent one summer crying because she realized she was not adopted. She was 9-10 at the time and just knew she could not be related to the rest of us.


It just broke her heart when she realized she was.


You know, come to think of it, I'm not afraid of ants. I never was. It's just when they all come running out of a lady's pants like that... yech, creepy. And isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking, but when you're good and crazy, ooh ooh ooh, the sky is the limit!

I am concerned about them. But given my son's menu (post below) and his activity level, no genetic tendency towards diabetes or the such, I hardly think that a Super Hero Popsicle and a small bowl of icecream will hardly interfere with those concerns.

Maybe they want to do things together as a family and not just errands?

That makes sense. We aren't a dessert eating family in the first place, so that was a bad example.


I should have said, "Be good in the store and I'll get you some M and M's" (my mom's trick) and I am going to try to avoid the 'potty treats' that I've been hearing so much about when that finally starts.


I don't want my girls to have weight issues or body-image issues, geez, that's just so hard. The heaviest I've ever been is a size 14 yet I've been beating myself up about my weight/body image my entire life. What a waste of time. I don't want that for my girls.

We trade off too. Dh would prefer to do everything as a family but I need some time to myself. And I need to do my long runs on Saturday mornings...that's not a group project, lol.


We are doing more group things now that Vivi is getting older, but grocery shopping, no, clothes shopping, no, hair cuts, no...

I hate that stuff. I refuse to do it.

Have you seen the teaser trailer for Goblet of Fire yet? www.gobletoffire.com I have already promised DS he can stay up until midnight. We've ordered the book through Amazon, but I promised him a bookstore midnight party, wherever one may be.

We were just on the Leaky Caldron fan Web site -- have you seen it? JKR rates it as her favorite fan site. It has great info!

I think you're wise. I say, if Felicia wants therapy, let her pay for it like the rest of us.

Good taste knows no nationality. Except for blood sausage. Blech.
