Can A 7-Year Old Boy Use Smooth Away?

Posted by: queenbee950 on: August 27, 2009

We were driving to dinner the other day and I was petting my hubby’s arm – “man you are fuzzy like my poms” (He’s as hairy as my dogs).  I remember that Jx has the start of hairy legs (which seems very odd and early to me – but anyway).  From the back seat I [...]

7 Year Old Quits his Job

Posted by: queenbee950 on: August 27, 2009

What do you say to your 7 year old when he says that he is going to quit his job – the only chore around the house – brining in the garbage can and recycling bins?  I know that kids now-a-days have a lot less responsibility that we had growing up so we started him out [...]

5 Days Until 2nd-Grade and the IM7-FU Virus

Posted by: queenbee950 on: August 20, 2009

Five days to 2nd grade.  I have mixed emotions about Jx going back to school; for the last week I’ve really been sad about sending him to school this year but after today I am totally ready.  I cannot stand the whining, fake crying, smart mouthing and direct confrontations. The latest 7-year old make-your-parents-crazy tactic [...]

Creative Parenting – Vampire Style

Posted by: queenbee950 on: August 14, 2009

If your kids start acting up or are lippy I’ve found a way that can get them to listen for at least a moment.  Along with my fondness for True Blood, Charlaine Harris’ Southern Vampire Series, I am starting to gather tidbits from movies and TV shows in hopes of getting my son to listen [...]

Broccoli Skeptic – Takes The Plunge

Posted by: queenbee950 on: August 14, 2009

My husband ate 3 pieces of brocoli at dinner this evening (deep breath).  He doesn’t like too many veggies, cucumbers, lettuce, tomatoes, maybe carrots (raw) but definitely not brocoli.  Have you ever been in such shock that you couldn’t talk or move.  I thought that a body-snatcher kidnapped him but he actually is starting to [...]

The Armpit Hair/Buffet THING

Posted by: queenbee950 on: August 8, 2009

The girls and I went to dinner with our families last night and I learned about a new THING my good friend K has.  The newest THING we found out about involved tank tops and buffets.  Does it bother you when people wear tank-tops to buffets?  I didn’t really have an opinion on the subject [...]

Hulk Jr. or Son of Slick Bitch? – You Decide.

Posted by: queenbee950 on: August 8, 2009

My son is definitely Hulk Jr.  When he gets mad he makes his face all scrunched up and starts walking with clenched fists toward his intended victim.  I am not sure where he gets this aggressive behavior from, as both I and his dad are not hitters or violent people – now.  I try to [...]
