Christmas is over, 2010 is right around the corner, and things are starting to settle down. But I just couldn't continue without getting the more "random" thoughts of my week with you.
We all know it is stupid to google our symptoms, so why do we continue to do it? I really just wanted some new ideas on how to get rid of the sore throat. Instead I was told that a sore throat lasting a month must be throat cancer. Of course, I go to the Dr. to be told I have a sinus infection. I then get prescribed a $70 antibiotic for five pills. Ain't happening my friend. Maybe alcohol will kill the pain.
On this topic, though, you may like to know that vinegar, honey, and warm water make a FANTASTIC gargle to ease the pain. Something about a base and an anti-inflammatory. Since I like red wine vinegar on my salad, my husband thought it would be a good idea to make this for me using that instead of regular vinegar. Very sweet of him, but vinegar and honey is bad enough, why add the additional flavor? Gross. Since he likes whiskey and jelly, maybe I will put those two together for him.
I want to find the jerk who thinks up all of the "security" designs on toys.You know on Christmas morning there is someone somewhere laughing at all of us while we desperately try to untwist, untie, and unscrew as our children scream and holler at us. Seriously, takes me 30 minutes to get a dang toy cash register out of the box, but they can't get an effective system down for airports? Does anyone else see ANYTHING wrong with this?
I am guessing that this person that designs these security measures is closely related to the brat that makes the directions to put together toys. Would it really be so hard to put an accurate picture on the diagram so I don't put the whole toy together before realizing two things I put on first are on backwards? And what is with the five bazillion stickers? I can't find a sticker that will stay on my son's hand all day, but these things will stick to my pinkie with the strength of superglue and then tear, bunch, and become crooked when I try to put it on the toy.
The irony of the whole holiday? When my son looked at my husband and said "Are you Santa?" I could only sigh and think (okay SAY) "yep, pretty much right. Some man getting all the credit for the hard work and planning of someone else."
Have a lot of random stuff rolling around in that head of yours and pushing out all of those to-do's? Link up and get 'em out! Head over to the un-mom HERE!
5 of you are the "cool kids":
You need a PhD to open those dang toys.
I decided to google the strange swelling in my son's lymph nodes and was bombarded with info on leukemia and other forms of cancer. I need to restrain myself.
Somehow, I managed to only get ONE thing that was attached to a box with a million pieces of tape and twist ties this year. But it took me an hour to get it out of the stupid box.
This year passed so fast. I'm glad it is over.(almost)It was a tough one.
Hope new year brings better things to everyone.
Wish you a blessed new year!
What a neat blog you have here.
I so agree about the kids toys.
lol those stupid zip ties kill me. I did have some new ones that had this cool thing you twisted and it popped right off. But then you're still left with this stupid plastic stuff that ends up on the floor and I step on in the middle of the night :).
Oh no red wine vinegar, at least he was being sweet. Not sure Rick would lol. Hope you feel better sweetie!
