Every time a holiday comes up: Easter, Christmas, Thanksgiving, I start feeling sick to my stomach, anxious, and nervous! My husband and I haven't figured out a way to split holidays with our family that makes sense so we end up arguing with each other and/or our families and are miserable! My parents are divorced so we have to go to 3 places. Most of the time one or both of my parents are flexible and we do the Saturday before or another time, but his family is never flexible about the day (usually about the time of the day) but they always have their get-togethers the day of the holiday because that's what they've always done and they've never had a reason to change it. I don't want to sound like I'm ranting about the ILs (although I kind of am), but it's frustrating. I'd rather not go to two or three different places in one day, especially now that we have a child. But I also don't want to spend the day of every holiday with his family. I try to tell everyone (including myself) it's not necessarily about the day, but more about just spending time w/e.o. on the holidays, but you know...every once in a while, I'd like to spend the holiday with my family, too. Argh!I'd like to come up with some sort of system where we just put our foot down and say, "We're going to Thanksgiving at ______'s house this year, we'd be happy to celebrate Thanksgiving with you another time." However, my DH is very leery about that. He said last night, "Well, we'd have to spend Christmas Eve w/my family." My thought was that we rotate every year so each family gets a holiday and the next year they get a different one. So we wouldn't necessarily spend every Christmas Eve with his family. That doesn't mean that our families can't keep going on with their celebrations, we'll just celebrate another time with them.These discussions are so hard because I always end up feeling guilty about making a decision (it doesn't help that my mom is single and says when we're not with her she's alone for her holidays even though I've tried to invite her to come along with us to the other places) and uncomfortable and I'd rather just go on vacation and not do holidays at all. What do you do to split your holidays? Do you have any advice? Sorry about the rant, we just had a long discussion about it last night and it's still on my mind. Help!!!!http://theblogfrog.com/104191/forum/15058/splitting-holidays.htmlThu, 11 Mar 2010 15:11:40 GMTMany of you may already know that my 22 year old daughter suffers from debilitating crohn's disease. This disease is wrecking havoc on her young body and mind (my heart hurts so badly watching this.) This disease and secondary complications have been relentless! She has been ill since the age of 14 and has only had 6 months of remission. Although Crohn's is a chronic and long-term disease and very painful during flare-ups they are usually followed by remissions that last for varying periods of time, this has not been the case for her. It never ends! Her foot, ankle, calf have been bothering her for 3 weeks now, she can barely walk and is in excruciating pain. Ultrasound and x-ray are clear. Now we are set up for a bone scan and mri. The Dr wants her to see a neurologist and mentioned possible RSD. Dear Lord this child has enough on her plate, don't ya think? I'm getting really worried about her failing health. Thanks for listening. http://theblogfrog.com/104191/forum/15055/does-anyone-have-reflex-sympathetic-dystrophy-(rsd).htmlThu, 11 Mar 2010 14:51:09 GMTThe kids and I have been wanting to start a garden for a while now. To grow fresh herbs and some veggies. but there is this cat that is always in the yard and im afraid that it will pee or start to eat the food. If you have ever come across this how to you stop the cat ? This is someones house cat but it still worries me..at elast its not a stray though LOL Thanks !http://theblogfrog.com/104191/forum/15053/question-about-growing-your-own-food.htmlThu, 11 Mar 2010 14:31:25 GMTI follow Mark Hall of Casting Crowns on Twitter. I adore him. Anyway, he is sitting at the airport this morning, Tweeting his musings. He sent this Tweet- Guys are often told their minds are in the gutter. Maybe it's because that's where alot of women go to buy their clothes.Now, let me start by saying that the phrase "asking for it" is one I abhorr when it comes to women and their behavior. I am not going there. But doesn't he have a point? Not all of us dress in "gutter clothes" of course, but many of us do dress to accent our, er assets. I don't care to go around in sensible shoes, mom jeans and turtlenecks. Nor do I dress provocatively.How do you dress? Why do you dress the way you do? Do you dress for your man, and if so do you worry about how you look to other men? Do you have anything that has Juicy across your butt, lol? When talking to my DH about this, he mentioned girls who have stuff written on their butts.And do we wear clothes that we think others might find flattering, then complain when guys eye us in ways we don't care for. (Assuming they do, personally I don't think I have been "eyed" in a while) Do we expect too much? http://theblogfrog.com/104191/forum/15052/what-do-we-expect.htmlThu, 11 Mar 2010 13:57:44 GMTDo you or your child have a medical condition you'd like to raise awareness for? If you do come on over and join the bloghop.http://theblogfrog.com/104191/forum/15048/raising-awareness.htmlThu, 11 Mar 2010 13:24:39 GMTAnyone know of some reasonable blog designers? I think I am finally going to break down and pay someone. I am tired of messing with my blog trying to get it the way I want it to look, only to end up being disappointed. I don't want to put anymore time into it. I need to let someone do it who knows what they are doing.http://theblogfrog.com/104191/forum/15047/blog-makeover.htmlThu, 11 Mar 2010 13:15:04 GMTI have a nice set of cookware available for a giveaway and hope you will enter.http://thelegacyofhome.blogspot.com/2010/03/farberware-cookware-cookie-sheet-and.htmlI also posted my secret cookie recipe on my blog yesterday, and will be posting our homemade pizza recipe tomorrow.What kinds of things do you like to bake?Blessings,Mrs. Whitehttp://theblogfrog.com/104191/forum/15043/farberware-cookie-sheet-and-pizza-pan-giveaway.htmlThu, 11 Mar 2010 12:22:31 GMThave you watched fireproof. in another discussion ladies were talking about seeing fireproof. i did love dare right after it came out and would love to do love dare again, would anyone be interested in joining mehttp://theblogfrog.com/104191/forum/15041/love-dare.htmlThu, 11 Mar 2010 11:18:40 GMTSo this is a little weird. I just took out my earrings and they stink! I don't even really know how to describe it. My ears don't hurt, they aren't infected, they aren't swollen and weren't red until I started messing with them. What on earth?! I don't really clean them every time I use them but I have been doing this the same way for years and never had this problem before. I don't leave them in at night or anything extreme so I can't figure this out. Maybe I will start cleaning them every day and see what happens. Anyone have this happen before? What did you do?http://theblogfrog.com/104191/forum/15036/stinky-earrings.htmlThu, 11 Mar 2010 03:19:25 GMTOur dryer caught on fire a few weeks ago. I was home and smelled the smoke, but still called the fire department because of all the smoke. I wanted to be sure the fire was out. It turns out that there is A LOT I didn't know about how common these fires are and how easily they are prevented or at least reduced in the risk of burning your house down, or worse, family members dying from the fire. I am now taking precautions and being more sensible about using my dryer. I put it all together here: http://mychildsview.blogspot.com/2010/03/dryer-safety-works-for-me-wednesday.html Seriously, if it can help you or someone you love - even someone you don't love - spread the word. This is serious and even the smallest fire can grow beyond control within seconds. It's a big deal. I know we, as moms, are tight on time and tend to start the dryer and run errands or start the dryer and go to bed. Don't do it. The results can be devastating!http://theblogfrog.com/104191/forum/15030/do-you-run-your-dryer-at-night-or-when-leaving-the-house.htmlThu, 11 Mar 2010 01:46:11 GMTAre there other moms on here who have multiple blogs? If so, how do you decide which to associate with comments and networking sites like this one? I just started the second blog so I'm curious!http://theblogfrog.com/104191/forum/15029/how-do-you-handle-multiple-blogs.htmlThu, 11 Mar 2010 01:36:47 GMTYesterday i saw "Precious" a Independent film by Oprah and Tyler Perry- It was such a sad film, i cant't even imagine someone going through the things this girl goes through in this film :) So what Movie did you watch recently?http://theblogfrog.com/104191/forum/15026/which-was-the-last-movie-you-saw.htmlThu, 11 Mar 2010 01:25:21 GMTJust wondering if there are moms who have small children who participate in sports activities (baseball, soccer, karate, ballet etc.)? My son is 5, he has just finished soccer and we have been super happy with this experience being his first team sport! But...this week he started baseball, I am already having a uneasy feeling about it. Don't get me wrong I love baseball and so does my son, but it seems as if the schedule is going to be really hectic...Practice twice a week and games possibly twice a week...WHAT??!! Is is just me or is this a little extreme? Soccer was great because it was very laid back and age appropriate. Remember these children are only 5. What are your children involved with...what is too much? Opinions please!http://theblogfrog.com/104191/forum/15022/do-your-children-play-sports.htmlThu, 11 Mar 2010 00:55:15 GMTI have been married for almost 3 years and kept my wedding dress. I am just wondering how many other people did and what your reasons were. We only have 1 child, a boy, so he is never going to wear it. I doubt his future wife will wear it as I assume it will be out of style by then. Just not sure if I should hang on to it, donate it, or sell it???http://theblogfrog.com/104191/forum/15020/did-you-keep-your-wedding-dress.htmlThu, 11 Mar 2010 00:52:53 GMTI am curious about your thoughts on "spying" on your children. This might be reading diaries, texts or having programs on your computer to capture what they are doing. Do you think its invading their privacy? Do you spy on your kids? I will share my opinion once I hear from you!!!!http://theblogfrog.com/104191/forum/15019/spying-on-your-children.htmlThu, 11 Mar 2010 00:50:17 GMTwe got a new cat this evening. it is a female and we need a name. we are tempted to call her A C U as in the military ACU's. we have never used military names or haircuts but honest this cat does look like ACU's and since out last cat died because of stress (from a military move). any ideas on cats name.http://theblogfrog.com/104191/forum/15017/we-have-a-new-addition.htmlThu, 11 Mar 2010 00:21:15 GMTWe're a Honda lovin' family 'round these parts. BUT, if we didn't buy Honda, we'd probably buy Toyota. But I'm kinda on the fence now about how I feel on Toyotas. Granted, any car manufacturer can have recalls. And most of them have had some sort of recall in the past. But I'm not crazy about how Toyota is handling them. Do you think their response time was too slow? Do you think they are doing all they can to fix the problem? Would you still buy a Toyota?http://theblogfrog.com/104191/forum/15015/do-you-trust-toyota.htmlThu, 11 Mar 2010 00:01:01 GMTIt is Thursday for me so don't think I am jumping the gun! *wink* ha ha! Come join in if you'd like! Thank you! http://ourimperfectlife.blogspot.com/2010/03/thank-you-thursday-311.html http://theblogfrog.com/104191/forum/15012/thank-you-thursday.htmlWed, 10 Mar 2010 23:41:22 GMTI have one to give away here! All you have to do is leave a comment! These were SUPER easy to make. If you own a sewing machine I'm sure you could do it!! I found a great little tutorial! Anyway, no more "dig lines" in my neck :)!!http://theblogfrog.com/104191/forum/15002/would-you-like-to-be-the-owner-of-a-shiny-new-camera-strap-cover.htmlWed, 10 Mar 2010 22:33:49 GMTI see lots of discussions on adoption and most of the time it is in reference to a baby. If you would consider adoption, would you consider adopting an older child? What would the oldest age be that you would consider?http://theblogfrog.com/104191/forum/14998/would-you-adopt-an-older-child.htmlWed, 10 Mar 2010 21:37:26 GMT... actually everyone here. The testimonies of all the bloggers in Kenya are having a powerful impact as God uses them to soften readers hearts. He is so amazing! Many people have sponsored a child or children and His legacy from this week will snowball. My challenge is WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO NOW? Sponsoring is a wonderful thing! It is incredible how God can use the internet, blogging, etc., to spread His word and move hearts for His glory. The checks sent to Compassion will, for many... not all, just become part of their monthly bills. Some who have had their heart softened will go back to their own life and just get back into the groove... so to speak. There are people hurting everywhere and I would bet that there is someone in need living right under our noses. Someone who could benefit from the hearts that have been softened. There are homeless people who need a meal, a place to lay their head or some small item that would make a tremondous difference in their life. There are the sick and the elderly who are alone and lonely. A gentle touch, a kind word, a friend, would go so far to make a difference in their lives. But it isn't just us... how are we going to involve our children in serving God through serving His least? How can we make them aware of needs and mold a compassionate heart? I'd really love to hear responses. :-) http://theblogfrog.com/104191/forum/14994/a-challenge-for-mckmama.htmlWed, 10 Mar 2010 20:34:04 GMTHi everyone! Did you know that children with special needs (i.e. spina bifida, Down Syndrome, etc.) that are place for adoption in Russia are put into an insane asylum at age 4 if they aren't adopted? A blog buddy of mine is currently in the process of adopting two sweet angels from the Ukraine through Reece's Rainbow. They are hard at work trying to raise the funds to bring the girls home to their wonderful family! If you have a minute, check out her adoption blog ( http://www.snadoption.blogspot.com ) and if you feel so inclined to donate, it would be highly appreciated. Also, if you feel inclined to spread the word (even if you can't donate) that would be appreciated as well!http://theblogfrog.com/104191/forum/14993/reeces-rainbow.htmlWed, 10 Mar 2010 20:29:40 GMTWe started potty training our two-year-old about 6 weeks ago and he's been a rock star when it comes to peeing on the potty. Nearly from the outset he was telling us when he had to "bee" and has had very few pee accidents. However, he WILL NOT poop on the potty. He doesn't even try. He just poops in his underpants and then cries because he doesn't like how it feels and doesn't want to walk to the bathroom to get cleaned up. Is this a developmental issue or defiance? Maybe it's the frustration, but it feels so much like defiance because he doesn't even try to make it to the bathroom. Has anyone else gone through this? Any suggestions on how we can get him to poop on the potty? BTW - we've gone down the route of a special reward for pooping on the potty and the PlayDoh Ice Cream Shop has been sitting out for nearly two weeks - ugh!http://theblogfrog.com/104191/forum/14992/number-two.htmlWed, 10 Mar 2010 20:14:07 GMTMaybe this has been discussed here before, but I'm fairly new so I'll ask (again?): How do you busy moms fit in a daily quiet time for prayer and/or devotoins? I'd love to hear some of your strategies because my quiet times are sporadic at best.http://theblogfrog.com/104191/forum/14989/quiet-time.htmlWed, 10 Mar 2010 20:05:47 GMTThis was just too funny so I had to share. My youngest turns 2 next month. He hasn't shown much interest in potty training apart from sometimes telling us when he needs a new "biper." To be honest it has been far from my mind. Anyway, he was standing in the bathroom watching his brother pee the other night. He watched and said "Wowwww." Followed by "Flush, flush!" So perhaps he is showing more interest in doing this himself now. The fact that he thought to flush is more than his older siblings usually do when they use the potty. http://theblogfrog.com/104191/forum/14982/the-start-of-potty-training.htmlWed, 10 Mar 2010 18:48:32 GMTMy 9 year old, Destiny, is taking part in a fund-raiser for the American Heart Association. The event is called Jump Rope For Heart. We are taking donations for sponsorship in a jump-rope-athon at her school. The money donated will go directly to the American Heart Association website. Please clink on this link to read about her event or to make a donation. No amount is too small to help save lives. For more information about Jump Rope For Heart you can visit this link. Or if you are curious as to why this cause is so important to us, feel free to read what I posted about it here on my blog.http://theblogfrog.com/104191/forum/14977/jump-rope-for-heart.htmlWed, 10 Mar 2010 17:59:01 GMTI've been struggling a bit with praying lately, and I thought it might help to have some prayer requests to focus on! Anyone need prayer?! Leave any prayer requests you have here and I would love to pray for you! (And I wouldn't be surprised if others reading the thread pray for you as well.)http://theblogfrog.com/104191/forum/14974/do-you-need-prayer.htmlWed, 10 Mar 2010 17:26:23 GMTI'm wondering how you all handle nudity around the house. Moms...do you cover up around your sons? Do dads cover up around girls? I prefer that my son "gives me privacy" when he knows I'm getting out of the shower, but I don't make a big deal about it. I've asked that my hubby do his best to have himself in underwear around our daughter.Anyway, I just wondered how others felt? How were you raised? Does that effect how you handle it, too?http://theblogfrog.com/104191/forum/14973/nudity-around-the-house.htmlWed, 10 Mar 2010 17:07:58 GMTCheck it out here!http://theblogfrog.com/104191/forum/14969/earrings-giveaway.htmlWed, 10 Mar 2010 16:27:33 GMTMy 2 year old had a tonsillectomy on Thursday of last week. My question is, how long did your child require pain meds? And did he/she throw a monster fit when they saw you coming with the syringe? Gavin is obviously in pain (he won't drink or eat unless he had his medicine) but has a fit whenever I even say the word "medicine." Keep in mind, this child has been taking meds since he was 2 months old (with out a fight), due to his autoimmune hemolyitic anemia, so he's no stranger to medicine.http://theblogfrog.com/104191/forum/14963/moms-of-kids-who-had-a-tonsillectomy.htmlWed, 10 Mar 2010 15:01:05 GMTI was telling some friends the other day about how much I miss the 'old' Food Network, which included Emeril Live, some cool shows by Gale Gand, Bobby Flay, Jamie Oliver, and Tyler Florence. Now the focus seems to be more on reality shows and they've relegated a lot of the chefs to a format where it's hard to learn anything from them. What do you think? I wrote more on this subject (and have a poll) at my blog, Hot Cookin'. Kellyhttp://theblogfrog.com/104191/forum/14962/do-you-like-the-food-network-or-do-you-miss-the-old-chef-lineup.htmlWed, 10 Mar 2010 14:51:48 GMTAfter posting a discussion about whether or not to make a trip to the fertility Dr, I got a lot of feedback suggesting that we go. Well, I was going to wait until summer, but then my mom ran into someone who knew of a really good Dr, so I thought why not!? So we went yesterday and sure enough...I have Endometriosis. I wrote about it on my blog today. But anyways, I just wanted to say thank you to all of you who encouraged me to go and for the support you all gave me! I really appreciate it! Now I know the problem, and we are going to start working towards fixing it! Yay! Thanks again everyone!http://theblogfrog.com/104191/forum/14958/just-wanted-to-say-thanks.htmlWed, 10 Mar 2010 13:58:57 GMTdo you have one and if so what do you like and dislike. we are in a rental. moved in almost 3 weeks ago. the house has a alarm but it is not active. we could use it but it just would not call someone for you. we have been nothing but annoyed by it. so it goes off for no reason all the time. we called the company and they said that the reason it was doing it is because the electric was off in the house and the batteries were low. so we could either un plug it or let the batteries charge for a couple of days and it would start working again. so we let the batteries charge and it worked great for about a week and a half. for the last several days it is back to old times. for the last couple of night it will just go off for no reason. i bet that thing went off 10 times in the night. i am so exhausted i could scream right now. luckily DH gets up and turns it off. this morning he burnt a bagel and so after he left the alarm went off and then the smoke dectetor kept going off. okay all this to say we are trying to decide if we want to replace the batteries or if we want to just unplug the whole thing or call and get it activated. i do not know how much this one would charge but if we go with ADT it is only about $25 a month. I would love to know your opinion on thishttp://theblogfrog.com/104191/forum/14951/alarm-systems.htmlWed, 10 Mar 2010 10:26:56 GMTHello ladies!I posted about a month ago about my nay-saying friends who didn't believe that I could do The 3 Day.I wasn't going to give up and I talked to my very best friend [of twelve years] about it several times. And tonight... she finally committed to doing it with me!!!You ladies gave such great advice when I was in a tough spot about it and now I am officially registered and I AM SO EXCITED. I want to tell everyone I run into that I am finally completely and totally committed to doing this and I couldn't be happier!

A while ago I changed the title of my blog and it still shows the old title when I comment on posts today. Does anyone have a clue how to change that?

They plan to go to legislature and recommend closure at the next meeting in May. We are a state run facility for mentally ill people who are in crisis, IE: someone who has or feels like attempting suicide and needs a safe place to go. We also help people who are unable to cope with their daily lives due to extreme stress or their meds are not working as well as they were. I have heard from many clients how coming here had kept them from harming themselves or others sometimes even their children. I am sure I will be able to find another job but the clients will no longer have a safe place to go once we are closed. Please pray that legislature sees the good that our facility does for these people and decides to go against the executive committee.http://theblogfrog.com/104191/forum/14941/prayer-request.htmlWed, 10 Mar 2010 04:54:49 GMTPlease stop by my blog and let me know about it, pretty please?

Gymboree....My Little Gym...My gym?! They all seem so great & I just wanted some first-hand reviews on them. My son will be 16 months by the time I am actually able to start taking him. I am a teacher, so I can't start now...but I figured 2 months in the summer would be fun for him & myself! :) Any help and/or ideas would be GREATLY appreciated!

I would love to get a sling for our baby (due in June) but I've never worn any of my kids. With four though, I'm going to have to figure something out! What's the best sling? I would like one that is easy to get in and out of and can grow with the baby. How hard is it to use them? They've always intimidated me a little. :) Thanks for any input.http://theblogfrog.com/104191/forum/14925/question-on-baby-slings.htmlWed, 10 Mar 2010 00:58:44 GMTI saw this on my google feed. Just thought I'd spread the word!http://tempuri.org/tempuri.htmlhttp://theblogfrog.com/104191/forum/14920/attention-baby-wearing-mommas.htmlWed, 10 Mar 2010 00:37:31 GMTi have been doing wordless wednesday for months but i do not know who gets credit for it. is it a linky or just something i stole from someonehttp://theblogfrog.com/104191/forum/14913/wordless-wednesday.htmlTue, 09 Mar 2010 23:41:49 GMT.... without pitching a massive fit or getting a horrid rash! Yeehoo! My little girl is transitioning off of formula finally! I tried moving her 4m ago (at 11m old) but she pitched a massive fit and wouldn't drink for three days. And goats don't produce over the winter... so we are just now able to get goats milk.I am beyond thrilled! Her no-dairy, no-soy formula was expensive! I could do a little victory dance right now! Anyone else have kids with food allergies? When did you see them start to grow out of them (if ever)?http://theblogfrog.com/104191/forum/14910/guess-who-drank-her-first-glass-of-goats-milk.htmlTue, 09 Mar 2010 23:19:57 GMTDoes anyone ever read those? I have found a few blogs I love from there & try to remember to look at the overview to see if anything new cataches my eye. What about you?http://theblogfrog.com/104191/forum/14909/blogs-listed-below.htmlTue, 09 Mar 2010 23:18:02 GMTI am watching Oprah and she is doing a show on Celebs looking into their family history. I recently found out that my Great Aunt Betty was the first person in the U.S to be granted legal custody of her siblings! I mean I'm sure that she wasn't the first person to take care of her siblings after parents dying, but still kinda cool that she was the fist to do something that happens often now. Do you have any good stories about your families history?http://theblogfrog.com/104191/forum/14906/whos-your-daddy.htmlTue, 09 Mar 2010 22:36:57 GMT
