Down the hole

I was sick yesterday -- and I mean REALLY sick. I had the stomach flu which kept me in the bathroom over the toilet for most of the day. I tried not to let the kids see me during one of my many puking episodes. Ethan did happen to walk in the bathroom and say to me...

Ethan: "Are you looking for my poo poo?"

Me: "No"

Ethan: " It already went down the hole."

Me: "Good to know..."

That conversation was the best part of my day...

So Sick of being Sick

It all started last Tuesday night. I was just feeling blah and it got worse on Wednesday and then a little better on Friday morning. By Friday night I was feeling really crappy....sore throat, running nose, and watery eyes. I thought I may have a sinus infection. By Saturday night I was super sicky. My chest was hurting and I had a nasty cough that sounded like a dog barking.

I went to an Urgent Care and tested positive for the flu. I spent all day Sunday in bed, sleeping. I did not think it was possible to sleep for 36 hours straight. Anyway, I am feeling better today. But I am still weak, nauseous and a little headachey.

I am a little frustrated because it was actually nice weather yesterday and I was stuck in bed all day!

Will the winter and sickness please leave now?

Allergy Remedy?

I watch alot of Oprah these days. My favorite Oprah episodes include Dr. Oz. He knows everything about everything. On a recent show he presented a "neti pot". It is also known as a nose bidet. I tried it and I think it may be working. I have awful allergies, headaches, sinus pressure, etc. This seems to be a better way of clearing out your sinuses without all the cold medications.

I have to admit, it looks pretty funky when I actually stick it up my nose. Click here for a demonstration. Best of Luck!
