Mern. Just my tuppence worth on the punishment debate - I Do Not Believe It. All kids get into rows with each other and usually it is two sided, and sometimes it gets a bit rough but getting the police in is crazy. This is only warranted if the child is constantly bullying other kids and really hurting them and then only after other avenues have been explored. I would never have been so cruel as to expose a 10 year old child to the court system, that mum sucks.
Tori. God to hear you getting out there, hope those bunnies came a hopping last night.
Terrie. Great loss, hope I can match it soon.
Hope. We have all been the "worst most unreasonable" Mums in the world because we are trying to protect our kids. I know there was a instance when I though my mum and dad were horrible at not letting me go to an all night concert when I was only 14, I snuck out of the house when they were asleep, went to the concert with a friend of the same age, almost got into a very scary situation with older boys and went home scared and even the I realised that my parents had been right that time, never told them though!
Mern. Palma is the capital of Majorca, an island just off Spain, I am having a long weekend there with my Mum for her birthday on 1st May. My sis, BIL will be there too and my BF is flying in to be with us as well, can't wait. Weather there looks pretty good at the moment, oh for some sun and heat.

On the grand daughter v the law issue... When I was in 4th grade we moved and I got to be "the new kid at school". It was a huge adjustment for me, we came from suburbia and moved to hillbilly central. Anyway, from day one I was bullied on the playground by this bruiser. What he did not know is that no Army Captain is going to send his daughter to school without a little street fight savvy. At one point the bully tried to pinch my (nonexistant) chest and instead of copping a feel, he ended up with a swiftly delivered tennis shoe in his junk. Technically, he didn't touch me and he was the one crying, so of course I got in trouble. This was years before sexual harassment and bullying laws. The recess teacher pulled the two of us together and she let him stomp on my foot, then we had to shake hands and apologize to each other. He never bullied me again, and neither did any of the other boys.

1) what else? water, 6 glasses of it minimum: 9
2) calories 1650 of em maximum: 1345
3) stretch stretch strech: yup
4) sleep, may be my hardest goal of all: ? I hope!!! Unfortunately N on this one
5) try not to worry and obsess, NO this one is the hardest: Y
Mike, I did kill on the water, didn't I? I like crawfish and crab, just don't know how to cook `em. But hospice is amazing, has helped so many people I know that I would be willing to learn.
I didn't kill on the sleep tho. Even with Benadryl for my allergries, my sleep was bad.
I am also adding two new goals for this week.
6) avoid tomatoes
7) avoid dairy
I am allergic or at least intolerant to these foods. But that has not stoppped me from eating them like crazy (meatball sub, anyone?) I can eat a little but I have gone waaaaaaay past that point to the point of not being able to breathe well. Time to maybe stop that? I think so. I would ask DH to help but he will wind up just being a PITA so I turn to you good folks at FD.
BTW Tori I don't know if it has to be bunnies and kitties in your dreams but hey whatever floats your boat, mama. BTW are CN intitials for a name or does it mean something else?

LOL, funny you should say that, yesterday I spent a couple of hours painting rabbit cages, and in spite of bathing I still have the odd paint smear, mostly places I can't quite see. The back of my neck apparently has a couple where I bumped it when trying to untangle myself from the inside of the cage.
On the grand daughter v the law issue... When I was in 4th grade we moved and I got to be "the new kid at school". It was a huge adjustment for me, we came from suburbia and moved to hillbilly central. Anyway, from day one I was bullied on the playground by this bruiser. What he did not know is that no Army Captain is going to send his daughter to school without a little street fight savvy. At one point the bully tried to pinch my (nonexistant) chest and instead of copping a feel, he ended up with a swiftly delivered tennis shoe in his junk. Technically, didn't touch me and he was the one crying, so of course I got in trouble. This was years before sexual harassment and bullying laws.

I have no doubt you can defend yourself against all comers but... she let him stomp on your foot? Really?

Lizzie, I know DD wants limits; it's just written in her teenage contract that she has to fight me. Sometimes I wimp out but I'm putting the gloves on for this one. Or maybe I can just stomp on her foot. I'm sorry but WTF Amy? Still can't get over that one.
