En Guarde

Things just got personal.

A battle has been in the fighhting stages around here. 

Pink Eye Vs Faye.
Cough VS me

But when cough and pink eye teamed up against Faye, inviting a little fever to join their dirty play date inside my sweet Faye, the ante just got upped.


I will not stand for that.  She cannot be sicker than me.  If she is, how can I help her fight it off.  At least I do have my secret weapon of breast feeding.  She has full access to my antibodies, and replenishes her dose between six and eight times a day.

But war is on my little germy enemies.  War is on, and it will not be pretty for you when I have finnished.

My arsenal consists of:
Theraflu
Extra naps :}
Gargling with hot salt water
Oranges and strawberries
Chocolate {soothes the sore throat.  Don't believe me?  Try it.  I dare you.}
Long hot showers {for the steam}
and lots and lots of Faye cuddling.

I give you three days.  You will be fallen by then, mark my words.

And then the rejoicing will commence and the kingdom will celebrate in the appropriate fashion.


Now excuse me as I go suite up and ready myself for the secret ambush.  Little germmys wont know what hit them.

Well I have no doubt that you will be kicking some germ butt and good!!

Look at poor little Faye's eyes. Oh poor thing. I know it doesn't hurt but it is no fun to have your eyes oozing.

Get well soon - both of you!

Amy, not to go all doctor on you but Theraflu is not supposed to be taken while you are breastfeeding. A couple of the active ingredients are known to pass through breast milk are are generally considered unsafe.

The acetaminophen that is in it is safe so I'd switch to just taking Tylenol and Sudafed, which is also known to be safe. You can also take a cough medicine like Robitussin.

I'd stick with things with one active ingredient rather than things like the Theraflu that have a mixture.

Poor Faye! She looks so miserable, but at least she has you to cuddle with. How are you two doing today, any better at all?

May I Take Your Order, Please?

I know that young people must have jobs. They have to start somewhere, but really, there has got to be some sort of intelligence test or guidelines before hiring people. Really. We bought some crown molding a while ago. I thought we would have enough. Turns out, as we were getting ready to put it up, we found we are about 5 ln feet short. Just 5. How annoying is that? So, I called Lowes and ended up speaking with a young man (I am guessing hoping he was young). The conversation amazed me. Me: "Hi do you carry any Trim-Tex crown molding?" Lowes: "What's that?" "A brand of crown molding. We are a couple of feet short." "Is that like a brand of baseboard?" "Well, yeah, sort of. Crown molding is decorative wood strip that goes along the ceiling." "Oh, okay. So what kind of tile do you need?" "Tile?" "To go along the ceiling, right?" "Uh, I don't need tile. I need crown molding."

I was getting a little worried. The baby had not changed in her weight or height for a month. Not since the 22 of October. My midwife was a little worried. She said if there wasn't a change soon, she would have to induce me. Did you know I wanted to go natural? Absolutely completely natural. I wanted to start on my own, and be completely under my own will power. Hearing that she would have to start me sent a cold fear through my body. Evidently, my baby possibly had something called IUGR ( intra uterine growth restriction) which could cause a myriad of problems, the worst being a still birth. A still birth is one of my biggest fears. So yesterday I went in to get checked, praying that my body had changed, that it had dilated on its own. If it had she wouldn't have to start me. At the appointment she gave me a choice. I could either have the baby yesterday, or I could have her on Monday. We decided to have her yesterday. So we decided my midwife would break my wate

Vegetarians at the Barbecue

We don't see our friends as often as we would like.  Something about us being the only ones married and with kids.  Whatever.  So any chance to have them all come play is a welcome one.  Since Jeffrey just had a birthday, we decided to have a barbecue tonight. We are having a barbecue and we don't eat meat.  Kind of ironic, isn't it?  When I thought about it, this video came to mind. Veggie At A Barbeque - Click here for the funniest movie of the week Have a fabulous Memorial Day weekend!
