<p>However, it's really hard to juggle. As you all know, our schedules are always up in the air. Calendar tells you it's only going until 3 p.m. and next thing you know, "Madame Court Reporter, we'll be working through 5 p.m." What? What?</p>

<p>So how do you guys balance taking your kids to all their fun afterschool activites and your workload? Do you deliberately schedule yourself of? I hate to do that. You might miss out on a juicy job. Afterschool nanny who will drive your child everywhere? Flexible programs so that you can have a variety of time slots to choose from?</p>
<p></p>
<p>I feel afterschool activities will become ever more important as the tightening state budget slashes the amount of funds our schools get and they have to cut back on "special" activities like art and music.</p> Kids say/do the darnedest things.tag:csrnation.ning.com,2011-05-19:1736041:Topic:11499402011-05-19T15:47:49.744ZStacy Tegnerhttp://csrnation.ning.com/profile/Stacy

Hi all!<br />
<br />
I was just curious as to who here is a single mommie/daddy? My divorce was just finalized in June, I have 2 little girls, Chloe will be 4 in March, and Ava will be 2 in January. I'll be graduating in May, hopefully. I've been living with my parents since I left my ex- 2 years ago. I was just wondering if anyone was going through school and newly divorced or had been single for a couple of years before starting school and how did you do it? I'm really starting to feel run down, no…

I was just curious as to who here is a single mommie/daddy? My divorce was just finalized in June, I have 2 little girls, Chloe will be 4 in March, and Ava will be 2 in January. I'll be graduating in May, hopefully. I've been living with my parents since I left my ex- 2 years ago. I was just wondering if anyone was going through school and newly divorced or had been single for a couple of years before starting school and how did you do it? I'm really starting to feel run down, no motivation to do anything let alone school work. Any advice out there?<br />
<br />
thanks,<br />

By the end of the day, the whole lower gauzy part was ripped and hanging from the back like a train. Now, the question is whether I should get her a new costume or not.

Tylenol - I've attached a letter with the medicines that are being recalled.<br />
<br />
The phone number is useless. They don't actually pick up. The website has the same info, but you can't read it. You can maybe send them an e-mail.

G-Force - movie about Gerbils as action heroes. Doesn't seem good. If anyone does go and see it, please share your opinions.<br />
<br />
Up - You think this is going to be a feel-good movie and uplifting (ha, ha). Not!!! The first 15 minutes are very depressing. I'm warning you now. Be prepared for a heavy downer.<br />
<br />
Night at the Smithsonian - Not as good as the first (what is) , but still a decent kid movie.<br />

So I've been hearing about H1N1 hitting a lot of summer camps. I'm starting to think it's going to be ugly this fall when we send the kids back to school.<br />

How's H1N1 in your area?
