Here too! Yay!!
Oh no! Is it the dreaded flu? I hope you feel better soon.
Not really, Disneyland Paris is expensive and just didn't deliver the magic for me the one time I went. I might go in the future and hopefully have a better experience.
I guess take out is also a no no than?
We have a variety of topics except politics /too religious posts. Even though we're a forum family we have a variety of opinions on the topics and sometimes that has turned the thread sour.
On the topic of Lent, (we don't do it) but some of the things I hear people give up makes me go hmmm, okay.Sorry, I almost left the Lent part out of it because the post wasn’t about religion.
That wasn’t my intention at all. Point noted.

The thing I remember the most from school were the yearly physicals that they gave us. We were poked and prodded by local Doctors right there in school. They put up some modesty shields but they were hardly sufficient for the turn your head and cough segment of the exam. I think they had that until I was in 5th grade before someone decided that this was not really good. Having said that, they did find a problem for me that was later corrected by our regular family doctor.Your eldest is too young. My DS is a few years older than she is. My DD her age-ish had hers in the doctors office. That year they were vacinating every freak'n kid they could and the vaccinations were heading to the schools and health department, very few docs had the vaccine and it was very expensive in a Doc's office when just released. First target age for the vaccine was elementry 3, 4, 5 graders. Yours eldest likely in Kindergarten at that point.
Yes, sad he had polio, so much he couldn't do as a child and the accommodations of my early child really stunk for kids with physical disabilities. 1979 last polio Interesting. I was almost out of high school by then.

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Four children in an Amish community in Minnesota have contracted the polio virus — the first known infections in the U.S. in five years, state health officials said Thursday. None of the children were vaccinated.
She was involved. I did leave certain things alone, like there was a cabinet with spices and all that was fine, and the she had her lunch boxes stored in a cabinet, so I moved her tupperware with the lunch boxes. But she had dishes just stored in the dishwasher. I'm like, "No, the dishwasher is for washing dishes, not for storing things". And then she had food under the sink, and I'm like, "No, not sanitary, not doing this." So she would tell me, "I want food to go here" and then it would go where she wanted, and then I would find a place for other things. She hugged me when I was done with it. It wasn't just "Oh, I don't like where this is stored"; no one could find anything, including her. I think she's so overwhelmed with the move that having someone else do some of the organizing for her helped.
I gave up Starbucks this year. (I go there nearly everyday). I can not give up caffeine altogether though, it would be inflicting too much pain on everyone who has to come in contact with me.

Thanks for torturing me.
I’ve always tried to give up something monetary related though, set the money aside, and then donate at the end.
The past 3 years have been contributing to the rice bowl.
It’s a rough 40 days!! This is my second time giving up Starbucks, last time was about 10 years ago. I keep telling myself that I survived back then..
Trust me, I already have the day marked in my phone as ‘Return to Starbucks Day’.
I'm atheist but I usually try to give something up for Lent because it's a nice convenient time period. Long enough to be meaningful, but short enough not to be torcherous. "Fasting" is important
