Things I Have Learned in the Past 24 Hours

We'll just start at the top and work our way down...

My children have sinus infections.
Sinus infections lead to a mucous drip in the back of your throat.
Mucous dripping in the back of your throat leads to a LOT of coughing.
A LOT of coughing leads to much vomiting.
Much vomiting leads to LOADS of laundry.

...and guess what else?! Laundry.does.NOT.fold.itself! WTF?!

K, what else have I learned today?

As of January 1, 2006, your insurance premiums start over. That means you are back to fulfilling an individual deductible for everyone in your household before insurance will kick in.

If you are indeed starting over, then I promise your baby's medicine will cost $56 and your insurance will cover $2.47 of that cost. [insert your own choice of bad names *here*, as I am not about to waste the one `mothereffer' I get this month]

*I am trying to cut back on the swears, but I REFUSE to cut back on the PG-13 movies (Sunshiney Sister in-law!) *

And the new cough syrup the doctor gave us (stronger, more potent, viscous and sticky crap) has made my baby HYPER. That's right, not "drowsy" as the warning sticker advises. She is still in her bed, after an hour of NOT sleeping, and now she is SINGING!

*if your baby is singing "poo poo! poo POO!" from her not-so-sleepy naptime slumber, you should probably go in with gloves, a change of clothes, and a change of sheets, blankets, and toys.

    sigh...

  5. Good to see the fun never ends! (And where can I get me some of that cough syrup? I'm expecting company this afternoon and I'm pretty sure artificial stimulants are the only thing going to keep me awake.)

  6. Umm, yeah that's really bad that the little one is singing about her poop. I'd send daddy in after her!

  7. Oh, that is so funny....Syd sings in her crib too. Yesterday she REFUSED a nap, and will sit in there and make raspberry sounds. I am so hoping someday that does not translate into poo-poo.

  8. One day you will come in to see your child playing the "Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo" game, poo in hand, writing on the walls.

    But I swear Mom, the poo is alive!
