Trampoline

I have a trampoline that I want to get rid of. It's a second hand and not in the greatest shape but it's FREE so you can't really beat the price. Let me know if you're interested.

Toilet Training Tips please!

Hey Sistas!!

I need some advice. Badly.

My son, Sam, turned two in February and that got me thinking about potty training. Oh boy. I can't tell you the dread that descends over me by those words. We did get him a little toilet seat for his birthday, but that's about all that's happened since then. Please, please, please -- could you comment or email me (khall63@gmail.com) some strategies/methods that have worked for you? I feel so confused because some experts say you should have started at 6 mos, and others say wait until they're "ready" at two and a half. Then others say use a timer and take the kid to the toilet every 20 minutes, and still other experts argue that it has to be child-initiated, don't force them. Do you use bribes - candy and sticker charts - or just applaud and congratulate the boy? What to do??

Whatever the case, I feel that now's the time, whether I want to or not, the sooner the better! I'm hoping and praying that this will be a swift process. So what works?

Sewing help quick!

I have about 8 pairs of pant that my kids have with holes in them so I wanted to cut them and make them shorts since we don't have the $ to buy summer clothes. The problem is they start fraying around the edges and I try to fold them to hide it but they keep coming unfolded. I have NO idea how to sew and don't own a machine. I want to know if anyone knows how to sew so I can pay you to make a little hem to keep the bottom folded. We leave for Cali on Friday and I am hoping to get them fixed before then so my kids won't look homeless. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks!

HELP ME!!!

Couple of things here ladies.

1. I need a very mathematically smart gal to tutor me for some crazy algebra crap (sorry if that offends you). In August, I have to take a placement test to get into the Statistics class at CCCCD. The last time I did anything remotely related to math was when I was a sophomore in High School and I got a D. Needless to say I can't rely on the Spirit to get me through it.

2. Starting July 13, I will be taking one measly class at CCCCD. It is only a month long, and it would be Monday thru Wednesday from 10-12 (more like 9:45-12:30).  I would just need a hand with my kids on those days, and who knows, you might be lucky enough to get some cold hard cash for your service. One person to help would be great, however, I am not opposed to sending them somewhere new every day. Just email me @ haleyhyoung@hotmail.com, and let me know your willingness! 

Love you all!

Tile w/ Vinyl

So back in November at the Super Saturday, I made the tile that had the Thomas Eddison quote on it, and yesterday Austin totally shattered it. Lovely. I want to make another! Who/where did we get the vinyl....I've got tile. I've looked on line at some vinyl companies and they are $$ for a quote that size. I'd of course be willing to pay, even if it's a bit more then we paid in Nov. Anyone know? Thanks!

Wheelies?

Hey, lovely ladies! We are in the process of tearing up our backyard in an attempt to do some heavy-duty landscaping, and I'm wondering if anyone happens to have a wheelbarrow we might be able to borrow for about a week. I'd happily make you some ubertasty made-from-scratch cupcakes in the flavor of your choice, in return. ;)
