A time warp

  • Posted on March 26, 2012 at 10:29 pm

This is not like me. I woke up at about 5:30 am, like usual. The kids got on the bus, my husband got home from work and all of a sudden I was so tired, I literally had a hard time keeping my eyes open. It hit me like a full tidal wave. One minute I was fine…getting dressed and ready for the day, then the next moment, I felt like I was going to fall asleep on my feet.

My husband told me to lay down and I could barely make it to the sofa. It was sooo strange. Like everything was in slow motion. I remember pulling the lap robe over me and I was out like a light. I barely remember my husband putting his had on my forehead…I guess to see if I had a temperature, but he didn’t say anything that I can remember. I was so tired that I wouldn’t have known it, even if he had said something.

When I woke up, it was nearly 6:30, the kids were home and my husband had left for work. I was pretty disoriented for a few minutes. Then the guilt thing mom’s get, crept in. Despite of the kids telling me I must have needed the sleep, I still felt terrible that I slept all that time. Now I wonder if I’ll be up all night. I can work though, so that is a plus. I still feel like I shirked on my responsibilities though.

Worse cold and flu season

  • Posted on February 26, 2012 at 7:48 pm

This has got to be the worse cold and flu season I have ever gone through. I think it is because we have had (knock on wood) a very mild winter here. At the middle of last week and into the weekend, we were supposed to get hammered with a mega snow storm. It went around us, mostly. And the snow that did come down, melted really fast.

I’m not complaining about not having the snow. I just hate having a knock me down and out cold and sore throat. My kids have it…down to my oldest son who never gets sick, and now my husband has the running nose, that he called me a “baby” about when I complained of my nose being raw despite of my sworn upon Puffs Plus.

Of course men are babies when they get sick, but can’t tolerate others if someone besides them get ill. Okay, not all men, but my husband is like that. Of course he is out now scouring the stores for relief for his symptoms. Pfffttt… NOW he gets this stuff, after saying he “wouldn’t get sick.” I feel a bout of sneezing coming on. Wonder if I can break my ten in a row this time. SMH,  I’m going to make chicken soup tomorrow. I don’t know why though…we can’t taste anything, let alone smell anything.

Another touch of the flu?

  • Posted on January 8, 2012 at 7:29 pm

Almost every one of my friends are coming down with what seems like a flu bug. It starts with a headache, then chills and even emotional ups and downs. It’s really strange. I keep saying I’m not going to get it…trying to think positive and all that. BUT, I’ve had half a headache all day and just feel icky. No doubt why I didn’t want to go to the grocery store today. Perhaps it wasn’t just my flaw of procrastination.

Croup of cold

  • Posted on October 23, 2011 at 11:22 am

I’m concerned about my youngest son. For the last three days the cough he has, has been getting worse. Also he just recently got over strep throat and now has another sore throat. I’m getting a bit frustrated with his doctor, because he isn’t addressing the issue of his cough. Tomorrow I’m going to have to make another appointment for my son, and I’m going to be firm with his doctor that this cough is not normal. It sounds like croup to me. It may be time to change doctors.

Teenage acne and adult skin help

  • Posted on October 16, 2011 at 3:38 pm

I really feel sorry for my daughter’s close friend. She has a very bad acne problem which indeed lowers her self esteem very much. Not to say anything bad about her mom, but she really doesn’t have the support at home for these kind of problems nor the finances to help with her problem. I’ve kind of taken her “under my wing” so to speak, by helping her with the right kind of hygiene,  facial wise and also advising her to keep her hair out of her face and not to keep touching her face in case that has something to do with more acne. I don’t know… it is what my mom taught me, and by no means am I now in the medical field, but I always have told this kind of advice to my daughters and son’s and it has seemed to help during the teenage years.

Resurgence is a skin product that helps resolve wrinkles and lines in the face also. I think I’d like to try this, myself. I’ll of course need to do more research on it, but if it works, I sure could use it. It’s basically for aging skin to revitalize it. I think it’s time to admit that I could handle the fact that I would like to try something like that.

There are Murad Coupon Codes that give you a great discount on a skin cream and treatment that firm up the skin and help revitalize it. Normally I don’t believe in buying products that I’m unsure of, but a friend of mine recommended this cream and since it’s not a pill or drug and not a shot, It might be worth the try.
