This is how we all feel this week.
a sad discovery
Tuesday, July 8, 2008
So this past weekend we were at my inlaws, and John bathed the baby with Johnsons Milk Bath (Milk Wash? Whatever). Liam smelled DIVINE. Oh it was soooo yummy. So in the 2 days we have been home I have been to BJs, Target and CVS (buying all the cold remedies, see below post) and NO ONE has it. So I went on Johnsons.com and it would seem they dont even make it anymore. Very sad day for the stinky babies of the world.
I did do some illicit peeling-off-of the-safety-seal on some other ones, and this smelled pretty nice too.
So we'll give that a try.
the bitching post
Monday, July 7, 2008
ok, so I am fully aware that there are many worse things in the world. I am totally hyper-aware, overly paranoid mom when it comes to health issues. HOWEVER I would just like to whine briefly. At least one person in this household has had a cold or flu or some sort of infection or issues at every moment since FEBRUARY. Let's count back shall we? This is July. That would be SIX months. Six months of green boogers, running snot, hacking coughs, ear infections, diaper rash and other diaper-area skin issues, allergies, eye infections, and other assorted problems. This weekend we foolishly attempted to go away. I should know that every time we go away, the children get sick. And they followed through as expected. Elaina, naturally, was sick before we even left. (We were just visiting the inlaws so its not like we dragged our sick kids on a European vacation, ok?) On the 4th of July she started having some serious green discharge from her eyes. Blech. Then Liam had it. Last night Liam had a fever and was miserable. Of course with the coughing and misery he wakes up Andrew. Then Elaina is crying in the night that she has a rash. Then she cant fall back asleep because of her hacking cough. So here I lay on the couch. I know shortly she will be in my bed with John and Andrew and there wont be room for me, so I may as well get comfy. Plus this way I am in the middle of the house so I can go easily to whoever needs me at 3 am.
Well that is unfortunate
I signed on here to share some cute pictures except when I actually got them on the computer they werent so cute. What appeared to be a great shot of Andrew actually revealed quite a lot of peanut butter in his mouth, once it was all enlarged on the computer screen.
But I did catch a quick snap of the sweet noodle while he was sleeping this afternoon. The poor thing has a bad cold and is recovering from a very short bout of pink eye. Short because I do not tolerate pink eye and I had medicine in his eyes before the first ball of green goo hit his cheek.
So here he is, in all his germy cuteness.
Random thoughts

My mom picked up Andrew & Elaina at camp today and took them out for pizza. I guess she wasn't all that impressed with it. (American Pie, for you locals) They served soda with the kids meals, and if you wanted milk or juice it was extra. My kids dont drink soda. And she said the sauce was really really salty. Blech. I bought a pizza stone a few weeks ago. Maybe one of these days I will get it out of the box and actually make a pizza on it.
So what else. I met John and some coworkers of his for lunch at Chili's. Do you know that they no longer serve the Awesome Blossom? I dont know if that is all Chili's or just this one but I thought that was, like, their signature thing. Interesting.
I am trying to hook up the new cable box to the new tv and its a pita because the tv is on the wall and I cant friggin see the back of it. So that is going to have to wait till later.
So really that's it. Totally random and not even really all that interesting, is it? I just wanted to get that Neil Entwistle crap lower down on the page. It is pissing me off.
