It is too damn cold outside. It is also too damn cold inside. I can't turn the heat on enough to make it feel warm in my house. The air temperature might say 68 degrees but without any moisture in the air it still feels really cold. For the past several days I wake up and my whole body is sore. It's sore because I
The end of the year is upon us. Not only is it the end of another year but also the end of a decade. I can't believe how fast the last ten years have gone by. It seems like just yesterday that I was glued to the television waiting for all the bad things to happen when the Y2K bug hit. It never did. But
Some of you might remember back in April I wrote about the tooth that would not come out. Eventually it did come out and we celebrated the event. She lost another tooth not too long after the first one and it was a complete non issue. She was a pro at losing teeth. And that was it for a while. Her two top teeth were
Today I stopped at Walgreen's to pick up a prescription. I have a thyroid disorder, I take a synthetic hormone replacement. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease when I was 18 or 19. The dose has rarely changed except after the birth of each of my children. I take one pill each morning and never think about it again. When I stopped at Walgreen's to
My daughter is feeling much better. Thank you to everyone who sent well wishes. She does indeed have the H1N1 virus though no one tested her, they just ruled out everything else. She does not have strep. Daughter started feeling kinda crappy Sunday night, no temp but she wasn't her normal self. This was not a bad thing at first since she sat still for
I'm so excited about today's post I can hardly stand it. I'm going to talk about Stormsister Spatique. I met Becky, the owner of Stormsister Spatique, a few months ago on Facebook. She contacted me about advertising on my blog and after taking a look at her fabulous website and the wonderful products she has, I selflessly offered up my hair and skin for product
I have a sick child home today. She was sick yesterday too and from everything I can tell she will be home the rest of the week. My kid has H1N1. Or maybe it's strep throat. No one seems to know and they don't really want to find out. My daughter has a fever, 102 the last time I checked, and with Tylenol or Motrin
You know you are getting old when you have to start brushing your eyebrows. I still don't have the nose hair problem and my ears seem to be hair free but suddenly my eyebrows look like Andy Rooney's. I'm not really happy about this. Related articles by Zemanta The Eyebrow Mistakes You're Making (totalbeauty.com) Skin Deep: After Overplucking, It's Time to Call the Professionals (nytimes.com)
I've been blogging for nearly two years now and have really loved every minute of it. I live my life by what I can post on the web. If I can't post it it's hardly worth doing. This attitude has freed me from some of the more mundane tasks in my life. Why do laundry? No one wants to read about it unless you have
Yesterday, as I was writing my post about wanting to get the kids out of the house for an extended period, I was contemplating the fact that I haven't posted much and yesterday's post was simply phoning it in. I have nothing to bitch about I thought to myself. Which in and of itself is pretty good. My kids are healthy, my relationships with their
