Purple Elephant in the room

…Still sick, but I bet you already knew that, huh?
My doctor’s office is comprised of several doctors.  My primary is the most popular one, however, and difficult to get an appointment with.  So, I settled for the fat-angry male doctor who will diagnose you from across the room without touching you.
Though, I must’ve hit the [...]

Ouch Pain Eww

I’ve been sick since Friday/Saturday.  I THOUGHT it was allergies.  However, it’s not.
I’ve been sniffing Afrin 2xs a day, but will be going to the doctor today.  I’ve been coughing NONSTOP this morning… my nose hurts… my throat hurts… I’m sweating b/c I can’t stop coughing.  NO fever, though.
I need relief… like NOW.
And, because I [...]

Add-ons and velcro

After we had our lunch yesterday, I camped out on my couch, high on Afrin (which, by the way, rocks), and waiting for something miraculous to happen… like become uncongested, my eyes stop burning, and my cough to disappear.  Or, to receive a late mother’s day gift.
Remember in my LAST post when I mentioned #1 [...]

Why I hate Mother’s Day

I hate Mother’s Day because no one gives me  a card, flowers, OR gift anymore (except for #3 who makes them in school).
I hate Mother’s Day because it is like EVERY OTHER DAY in my underappreciated life.  It goes mostly unnoticed and is added to the ranks of my birthday, Valentine’s Day, my anniversary, and [...]

Just like SHE said…

I took the little one to the doctor today because last night and all of yesterday he was running a fever averaging 101.  The doctor said his cough isn’t pneumonia (yet), so in order to keep it that way, she prescribed him an inhaler.
There’s this new technology at the doctor’s office in which they can [...]

The Old Gray Mare Ain’t What She Used to Be…

I traded one sick kid for a sicker little kid.  #1 son went to school today, BUT… #3 was home ALL day with a fever.
Can’t I win ONE little battle without fallout?
Tonight, #3 son and I were supposed to go to the Mother’s Day thing at his school… where the kids were going to sing [...]

Purple Unicorns and Warm Fuzzies…

Have you missed me?  I’ve been here, toiling the midnight oils… with a cat who never lets me sleep, a son who has been sick since yesterday, SATs, allergies, gardening, and a cat that never lets me sleep (have I mentioned this yet?)…
I had written two other posts, but never got to finish them (no [...]

A lil dab will do ya…

I still believe that polygamy (as it has been exposed in Texas), is wrong. To force women into marriage, motherhood, and to live isolated from the world… is wrong.  But, if we take polygamy out of the big picture and focus solely on the rest, what OTHER groups within the U.S. fall victim to investigation?
