Hi, Birdfriend -
oh Dear, I surely hope that was 'not' meant to exclude from
the Welcome, us
*fullyhaired and, 5'4 at 110lb., Eagles* here , right ?

Of course not...even if you an over 50 model you are welcome! See p.m. from me to you.

Still praying TJ that all is well and an easy "fix".

I got all the rusted nuts and bolts off the bench I am refinishing. I decided to paint the metal frame white, that is what is was, and I stained the wood and now am coating it with urethane. Getting the bolts off was the hardest part. I can't wait until it's done, why does paint have to dry so slow?

Hi Birdfriend,
Well, I qualify, according to "Birthdate" (but these stats are horribly misleading, ya know)

Just ask my 25 yr.young Figureskating coach, to describe me: "oh yeah, she's just another of my 5-yr.old students, lol: ADD, & a mind of her own... "You wanna learn WHAT: the 'Axel'! - you better master your waltz-jump for now, roflol"

Good question, keep. My husband built a table for our daughter. Then she picked out the stain. To get it to match her dining table it took four coats of stain and then varnish too. Looks great but what a job! Glad we have a shop for all that.. bird.

Hooray Keep!!! I'm sure it will look just gorgeous when it's finished!

I did a mosaic and my dad made a coffee table out of it. Dads come in handy sometimes. Anyway, he just painted the legs with water-base white paint. I hate oil-based paints. Those are the slow dryers.

Thanks Birdie and Migs. I have worked so hard on this bench it is nice to share my success with friends. I would not have been able to do it without my husbands help, it's nice to have the guys around.

 

[miggles]

I want a husband.

 

[frogalone]

I want a husband.

Have mine.

I want a one-room apartment, everything at my fingertips and company for 30-minutes a day.

 

[keeptrying]

Wow, it's quiet today. Nobody home at the Golden Eagles. It seems I did not get anything done today even though I know I did. The biggest thing was I made an important decision and now I just need to act on it. I hope everyone had a good week-end. Keep

 

[Theresasjourney]

today I did my washing..
and some much needed sorting and organizing of some areas.
I am looking forward to a nice quiet evening of vegging out.....;o)

 

[miggles]

I swept the kitchen floor and put the lawnmower back into the garage.

Boy, we're a busy bunch aren't we?

 

[Foundthelight]

I want a husband.

We are noisy, messy, can't remember where anything is.

We belch and pass gas at inappropriate times.

We leave the seat up in the middle of the night so that our spouses fall in at 3:30 am.

We can't pick up our clothes.

We can't tell when a bathroom is really clean, so you have to follow after to finish.

We always want s**.

We snore.


GET A CAT!

I started a new job today, teaching 3 and 4 yr olds at a Montesorri school. It was pretty wild. The teacher-director was in and out of the room all day, trying to train me to their schedule, taking care of her infant baby girl, and doing all sorts of other things. The baby girl has heart problems and will have to have surgery soon.
Nothing much is on paper as far as instructions for me. The materials are disorganized and there is no regular curriculum to teach from. The director is pretty much giving me freedom to teach as I want as long as I give instruction on the necessary things. I can see it is going to be a real challenge. There is way too much yelling at kids to make them behave and not nearly enough encouragement and praise. To make it even more difficult, the rooms are open with lots of other workers walking through from time to time feeling free to scold the kids. I am anxious to have complete control of the class so I can get some order and smiles in that room.
I am free to read Bible stories and we say prayers. I have to keep that pretty much generic as far as religion goes so as not to offend any parents. I have been spoiled spending so many years in Christian work and being free to tell others about salvation through Christ.
I would love it if you would pray for me. I don't want to pick up any bad habits from the others. I want to be kind, but not taken advantage of by undisciplined children. I want to be orderly in a disorganized place. I want to be a light of Christ's love. I want to be able to teach Bible stories in an acceptable way, that will also have meaning.
Thanks,
Prom

Glad you got a new job, prom! I will agree with keep's prayer above.

Here is hoping things improve. I remember taking my older daughter(now 42) to Montesorri when she was little and how she loved it!

My prayers tonight before going In the name of Jesus.

I will be praying for you...
I myself worked in a day care with 2/3 yr olds for 10 yrs so I can just hear what you are talking about...the noise level..oh my.
I know once you get an idea of how they want things and when then you can incorporate quiet times of coloring...singing songs..learning letters...colors...learning about differnet animals..learning about sitting quiety in a circle or along a wall while keeping hands to self and using indoor voices and using their ears.. by using their good manners and lots and lots of praise.
Will be a piece of cake when you and the kids and the school get used to each other....b/c you have the Lord and know the value of praise.
Start by talking to the children about certain words you will use and for them to use their ears and listen and use their good manners..try using some rewards like stickers or etc...for awhile.
meanwhile try and just have fun and learn each childs uniqueness...;o)

Hi ya'all. After a couple super stressful days, today was good. My 17-yr-old didn't yell at anyone. I asked a friend to make some calls for me, which she did. Friday, a nurse is coming out to determine if my hubby needs to be in a nursing home, at least for a bit. He broke a rib the last time he fell and reinjured his foot. I just feel he could get better care at a facility, but we'll see.

Congratulations, Prom, on the new job.

Miggles, still want a husband???? That gentleman was being very honest.

Hi scootermom, Maybe a nursing home would be best for a little while until the doctors can determine what is wrong. I will pray for you, your husband and your kids. I can only imagine the stress you are under right now but I know God is there with you. Blessings to you. Keep
