Coughs....Fevers....and Freezing Rain - Oh My!

My Life – Oh God… please stop the freezing rain…. I can’t take another snow day! Let me date myself, I was in high school over 20 years ago and it would take over a foot of snow before the schools would close. Now if there is a slight sheen on the streets the schools will be closed for days. Uggg. Not that I don’t love being imprisoned in my house for days with my kids, but last week everyone missed school because of the flu. By the end of the day tomorrow after being stuck in the house with the kids for the last 5 days I just may have to drink my self into a stupor after my husband gets home. Just kidding…. Hangovers just aren’t worth it any more.

One of my Favorite Things – Battery Powered Toothbrushes. My kids were always fine with brushing their teeth, but never asked to do it. I bucked up and purchased a couple of those battery operated fancy toothbrushes and now they want to brush at least 3 times a day. I thought it was just a ‘new’ thing but this has been going on for over 2 months. Great Buy!
