  • We Broke a Record.

    Should you need to give a bath at 2am… 
    Know that the Blow Dryer sounds much louder in the middle of the night.

    I didn’t want to have a friend I haven’t seen in 15 years over tomorrow anyway. (Not true!)
    I am so thankful for bleach and good smelling cleaners like Mrs. Meyers.

    Real flu. check. colds. check. sore throats. check. and now stomach flu. check, check. 
    Yep…I think our household has every sickness the media has spoken of this season covered.
    We also broke the record in our house for the number of times one can throw up in a single morning.
    18. That’s a lot in my book.

    I’m thinking she deserves a small surprise from the store when I run out for 7-up and crackers.
    Maybe a pack of pink gum? That’s always a big hit around here.

    Do you know that you can purchase sounds for your Build-a-Bear?
    Yep. and if your dad doesn’t see the sign with the price,
    he may think they are only a dollar each and let you get TWO sounds in your Build-a-Bear.

    and your mother may pass out when they give her the total for two little stuffed animals at the register.
    (AFTER deducting your gift cards ;)

    To justify the purchase..
    the girls will have their little voices recorded in the puppy and bear’s foot forever.

    and they were ever so thankful.
    we heard thank you about a thousand times. 
    and then we had thank you cards on our pillows when we went to bed that night.

    Hope your week is going well. 
    Happy Wednesday.

  • 18 times!?!?
    poor little person!
    How is there anything left, after about, the 5th time?
    Hope you’re all feeling better soon.

  • Hope the germs all leave your house soon and don’t come back!   I used to keep paregoric in the house for stomach flu times.  Everybody else in the family had to throw up 2 times before they got a spoonful.  I only had to throw up once, because I needed to be well enough to take care of everybody else.  Unfortunately you can’t buy  paregoric anymore.  You can buy phenergan suppositories, but I think you have to have a prescription. and I don’t know if they make them for children or not.

  • Oh my.  Not the records we want to be breaking.  Prayers that your family will be healthy and germ-free!  Hurry up, Spring!

  • I’m glad I’m not the human who ever counted how many times one can throw up! When everyone is healthy and happy, you should take a wonderful Post Sickness picture. I really hope this latest round is IT for you all!  How sweet that the girlies left Thank You notes on your pillow. Sweeties!

  • Glad you are continuing to enjoy Mrs. Meyers.  She’ll be helping me to tidy up this morning, but not the terrible messes YOU have been dealing with!  Oh my!  So sorry abotu the sickness.  Hope you all feel better soon.

  • Oh, no!!! about more sickness in your household.  Yes, that is a serious amount of times to throw up in one morning. Poor girl!!

    And I can imagine your surprise when the cost of the Build-a-bears was much higher than you thought.  But that is so cool that the girls were so grateful for them!  That says a lot!

  • oh no! that would be a record in MY book too!
    i just pm you this morning…was thinking about you and wondering…
    HOPING! that everyone is staying well! but bummers. so sorry.  

    sometimes not seeing signs and understanding prices is worth it. :)  

    here’s to happy bear owners feeling better! hugs. and love.

  • 18 is pretty impressive. I’m just saying. Like, impressive enough to get a certificate or trophy. I would totally have a trophy made for that.
    *Ignore me, I’m in a trophy phase.

    Anyway, I hope the stomach flu thing doesn’t go to all the other peeps in your house and I’m so sorry you missed seeing your friend. What a yucky thing!!

  • Oh my WORD!! That is sad, that just SAD!
    What a winter to remember, in an awful way. :(
    It seems we have not been able to stay well this winter either, but it’s not as rough as you guys!
    I hope it passes quickly!
    xoxo

  • Oh so sorry for your little one, that is misery.  Thankful for the bleach to kill stuff ,and the Mrs meyers to make it smell good.  You got me hooked too 
    So sweet about the notes.  Cuties.

  • man! you guys HAVE had everything this winter. i feel awful for you…
    there’s nothing i hate worse than being sick.
    that’s why we should all move someplace really really hot – so it kills all the bad germs! ;) )

    i was thinking today i never wrote you back.
    just consider this a yes to all you said. :) )
    i’ll go look at it now, seriously.
    my internet is wonky today though. keeps going in and out.. so hopefully i can get a real reply out.

    hope you all are on the mend!! tell jeff to bring you up here for a visit.
    it’s not hot, but maybe the opposite works with cold COLD!
    we just got over a foot of snow today.and it’s still coming down.
    i’m trying hard not to complain and i do okay.. as long as i don’t look out the window!!! hee hee.

    hugs girl. feel BETTER and enjoy that weekend.

  • wow! poor girl!  Sickness like that is NO FUN!  Hope y’all are on the mend and feeling better!
