7-year-old with organization skills...sm
My 7-year-old daughter has a great "eye" for how to organize and decorate things to look better. Yesterday after school she asked me if she could reorganize my office for me...which is always a mess. I took her to Wal-Mart and she picked out a few organizers to use and went to work. Within an hour she had it transformed and it looks great...and is much better organized. She was excited when I gave her a few bucks for doing a fabulous job.
I think I sense a future for her in interior design or as a paid organizer!!!
Basic skills best learned at home
It's kind of hit and miss as to whether kids learn to cook, sew, etc in school. Although I HATE using a sewing machine, I think basic handsewing is a life skill and taught my teenage girls to sew on buttons and mend rips. They also know how to do basic cooking, ironing, and have done their own laundry for years. My college daughter lives with two other girls, 19 and 20, and neither one of them can sew on a button (my daughter does it for them). Apparently their mothers never taught them.
I think it's FABULOUS!!!
Not only would I not object to it being in my neighborhood, I'd be trying to buy it, lol!!!
Well, if the shoe fits....her mothering *skills* or lack of
were atrocious. The fact she even had another baby and it was born methadone addicted is atrocious. The way she treated that old man, first off just marrying an 87-year-old crippled man because he was a billionaire(you think if he worked at McDonald's she'd have fallen IN LOVE with him?), and then holding a tape recorder up to him while exposing her breasts to get him to say "I want you to have half my money when I die" was atrocious, and how she then without any embarrassment at all fought HIS BLOOD FAMILY for his money after he was dead was atrocious. Meanwhile she was screwing around with other guys in the old man's bed while he was in the hosital! She was pure white trash and would do anything for money and recognition, so like I said if the shoe fits.... I certainly hope not but would NEVER doubt anything when it comes to that woman. Feel bad that she died but I'm no hypocrite and so I don't change my way of thinking just because someone tragically died, as so many others do......
Have a FABULOUS time!
Thanks! These are all fabulous ideas
We've done the Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes every year for about five years now I guess. It seems each year we do a little more than the last. The girls are finally getting to that age where they actually grasp the understanding that even if they don't have everything they want, they have A LOT to be thankful for and are beginning to understand the blessing they get when they bless others. May you all have a blessed Thanksgiving.
Thanks again for all the fabulous ideas.
Corn sounds fabulous. Thanks!

Maybe learn some life planning skills before bringing blessings into the world that you can't aff
and not very responsible or mature.
Yes, guilt is my downfall. Now, I feel guilty because she has no life survival skills because I have
done everything for her...so now I blame myself about how she will survive because she has no idea what to do. I guess I didn't have anyone leading my way. I've been on my own since I was 16 years old and I made it okay. She calls me for EVERYTHING..how do I do this.. how do I do that and I know now it's time just to let her fall because she'll never learn how to pick herself up if I keep doing it. That's the hardest teacher..falling on your face. She even said that she feels different because she doesn't know anything other kids her age know how to do.. That right there should have made me STOP.. I have not done her any favors..When I thought I was helping her, I was just making it worse and enabling. I'm done with it. Thanks for listening.
Crimson Petal and The White... a fabulous book about...
a 19th century prostitute in London named Sugar who is very manipulative and works her way into an affair with a perfume magnate...so good (and long) I have read it twice, will read it again. A movie is being made from the book.
No way! Just bought some fabulous stuff at Nordstrom, won't give it up!
