its just the opposite for me.. i am the one that has to stop trying to do everything for my girls.. roger told me yesterday.. "let the girls help u wash clothes baby, don't work so hard" i know he is right, i am trying to do better..

I have that problem cause if they dont get it just right i get frustrated then i just end up doing it ,.... ..the crazy thing is my 5 yr old does chores better then his sister (unless she wants to do something then they are done perfect)

see..i believe in teaching our children tobe responsible and help around the house..but we must remember not to cross that line that makes them feel as though they are grown ups now because they can fold their laundry..like washing theirown underwear is something they must learn..washing dishes even if its their own..making their beds etc. I see 13 yr olds maing big dinner for 7..come on now that brings the child out of her childhood..i pray to God that our children will neve have to work a FT job except for a PT summer job..which will go to their savings...

in the end..yes our children should doa part..but not turn into us.. IMO

HEllo everyone hope eveeryone had a good day

hey how r u...how oldr ur children?

Morning VJ Family!!

Thanks for all the calls and I know I owe a couple of you phone calls but I feel like I'm on a dead run this week!!

The day finally came - Anthony is here! Everyone went pretty smoothly on Wednesday, although he said there was a hard time because his visa is stamped for 6 months. He said a bunch of officers were gathered around causing some hoopla and checking the computer chatting bout why is the Kingston embassy stamping K1 visas for 6 months. As far as I knew that was the norm - you have 6 months to use the visa.

His arrival was good - I was standing in a spot where I could see everyone as soon as they walked around the corner so I spotted him first. But as soon as he rounded the corner his eyes went right to me and we both got a big goofy grin on our faces. I had my camera in hand but I couldn't move - just stood there grinning like a kid at a birthday party!!! He walked over and hugged me through the gate and I just deflated like a balloon - he was finally here.

Things have been going really well. The whole ride home his eyes were going a hundred miles an hour checking everything out. He did make me feel good Wednesday night when he said "I think I'm gonna like it here" because Whitehall is about as different from Kingston as Earth is from Mars. As soon as he got out of the car he asked why he never heard the pretty birds chirping when we were on the phone.

The biggest challenge so far has been food. He is working on his 3rd day of eating stew pork as he is not trying anything. But I figure when he gets hungry enough (or when the stew pork is gone!) he will try. I definitely learned the hard way awhile ago that I just ride out his stubborness, especially when he is the one most effected by it.

My kids officially met him last night and they loved him. They both had to sit next to him at dinner. And I loved him even more when I walked into the living room and saw him playing Dora Dominos with them and teaching them checkers Jamaican style!

I say it again and again, I never could've made this journey without all of you ladies - I love you gals!!

I know I'm all late but congratulations Island you give the word patience new meaning!

Aww IW, I am sooo happy for you. I am glad we are going through this at the same time so we can share adjustment stories. I wish you the best and I feel the same way couldnt do this without VJ.

I'm only caught up to page 286, but did have a couple of things to say before continuing to read:

Dada: LOL @ being picky, but not picky enough to be thin. I laughed a while after reading that.

Mrs Buggy: Thanks for sharing the story of your husband's first few weeks here. I hope that he did/will end up posting the experience from his point of view.

I posted pictures from my trip (well, 56 of 321) on Facebook. The surprise party went very well, even though the first of the guests arrived over 1.5 hrs later than scheduled, and the party didn't end up starting until 2 hrs+ after scheduled. More people showed up than I thought, and I got in trouble with hotel management, lol. But all's well that ends well!

We went to a Tanya Stephens/Etana concert last night, but both of us were falling asleep at it. We'd been up since 2:30am for an EARLY drive to Kingston and back. After the Kingston drive, I focused on the surprise party. After the surprise party, we went to the concert, which also started 2 hrs later than scheduled.

Am I the only person who likes stuff to be on time???

Anyway, it's sad to be away from my babe. I don't even know what date I'll be back, since my only other Jamaica trip this year will be for the interview. Still no NOA2. I was hoping it would be waiting for me at home, but nope! I got the form to fill out to engage my Senator, if my approval doesn't come soon.

My Journey's Anthem

Princess I had noticed this verse in your siggy. This is a nice song. I like Etana’s “The Strong One” CD. I think my favorite song of hers right now in general is I Am Not Afraid, but this one is a great Lovers anthem.
