Sounds like food poisoning.

I've heard olive leaf supplements work, but I get so sick so fast, I go straight for the antibiotics. I'm weak and slow recovering each time, too.

My dh is an introvert, and gives of himself to others lots and lots. He also works very long hours, so tries to fill up the kids when he's home. Sometimes, he just needs a little time to himself. If I gave him the gift of packing up the kids for a few hours, and letting him relax at home by himself, he'd be thankful. Maybe there's some way you could give him a gift of time, in a way that suits his personality.

Yay!!!!

You know how you can "dream feed" a younger baby who is refusing to nurse? I've had some success handing a sippy cup with watered down juice to a toddler who is just barely awake. A cheerful, "Time for a drink and then nursies!" might help the cooperation level. Just bumping up her blood sugar a touch first might be all you need to get her to be reasonable.

Oh no! I'm sorry!

The Walmart "beans" don't last very long. We bought a chair once, and it was pretty smooshed within 6 months.

At once place we lived, we opted to use the living room to make a nice dining room instead of crowding in the kitchen. We just didnt have a living room in that house. It sounds like you only have a futon in your living room now, so you wouldnt lose a lot of seating. You could make a rec room in your basement.

I had 2 with a bad tongue tie, and both of them got much better around 6 months. I didn't have either clipped, and I'm happy with that decision.

https://www.cdc.gov/flu/consumer/symptoms.htm How does one tell the difference? None of us have been vaccinated. We are 8 days past getting sick, and we are all still lying around. We each had about 4 days of fever, everyone has also had stomach distress, and we are still practically coughing our lungs out many times a day. We had every symptom on the list, and we've been pretty sick, but I thought we'd be even sicker with the flu? Maybe not? Educate me.

Dh and I don't exchange presents, but if we did, I'd want yarn! And time to do something with it!

Thanks. No, I don't think it's the flu. I think we'd be even sicker. I guess I don't know, though.

Thanks for the ideas! I think my favorite so far is the hazmat suit! :)

You know what I mean. "Stand and greet your neighbor." And then everyone walks around hugging and shaking hands. If you are really lucky, you are part of a "greet one another with a holy kiss" group, and then you get to be kissed, too. Our current church actually does neither, but there is a very vibrant before and after service mingle and shake hands routine. You can't get out of the building without shaking hands with at least 20 people. My family is SO sick this week. I've been in bed for 3 days, and ds is sleeping on the floor in his coat downstairs. He said he wanted to go outside, but curled up in a blanket and fell asleep instead. He's been sick since Monday. Dd is some better today, but has also been really sick, in bed since Monday. She's still in bed, but she's having conversations again, and I'm not having to force her to eat. Besides just the awfulness of being sick, my kids have had to miss all their classes this week, and will miss all their classes next week. We have 2 kids sick, and several more coming down with it. Oh, and Dh is on the floor with ds. Poor guy is going to have a really long week. He works long days, and is always on call. He's getting sick, but is trying to pretend he isn't. I can't do this all winter. Help me figure out ways to politely not touch anybody at church! (And for the kids not to, either!) We aren't going tomorrow because we are still sick, and because between us, we cough about once a minute. Next week, assuming we are better, we can just say, "We are just getting over a bad cold, and we'd hate to spread it." But what about when we really are well?

I'm younger, and haven't experienced this. I did get a concussion a few months ago, and that caused me to struggle with spelling. I still find difficulty writing a word in all capital letters. It's a strange feeling. It is much worse if I'm tired or hungry. I know that's not particularly helpful, but I saw you had 20 views and no comments. I didn't want to be another "look and run." I imagine you should check the basics: enough rest, b vitamins, thyroid, etc.

With the tshirt, I'd slide my left arm inside the shirt, then over my head. After that, I'd ease it down my right arm. The bra? Unless it was a really nice one, I'd probably just cut it. :/ ETA Another option for the bra might be to lay down. With your dh to help, he could work it high enough to get your left arm out, and then over the head, like for the shirt. Lying on your stomach with your sore elbow over your head might keep it stable enough to reduce pain.

If you are thinking more expensive, Williams Sonoma has one that gets good reviews.

I've seen them on Amazon.

What about a boogie board? It will allow him to doodle and sketch everywhere, but not have a pile of paper.

Might be way off, but when mine are waking often, especially distraugt, sometimes it's low blood sugar. I wonder if a protein snack before bed would help? There's obviously more going on, but maybe that will help part of it.

I'd be tempted to put a small dot with a sharpie on the tag of all dd17s clothes. Then, a quick smiley "tag check!" before we pulled out. I'd keep a spare nonfavorite outfit of dd15 in the car. She can change on the way to school. No one loses time, dd17 doesn't have to share, and dd15 experienced slight discomfort if she tries to disrespect her sister.

I watch almost no TV or videos, and I didn't see the gorilla.

Ok, so the room I'd like to do first is a darker blue. It's currently decorated with our dining table, two bookshelves, and a whole lot of kid stuff. There is no other furniture, and nothing is (yet) on the walls. It's a darker room, because it is a townhouse, and only has windows on one side. It has a wooden floor. This is a rented house, and since we will be moving in the summer, I need to follow these rules: 1.) Don't accumulate much stuff. We don't want to have to move it. 2.) Kid friendly. Whatever I get will be played with and moved around, so just accepting and planning for that will make everyone happier. 3.) Don't attach much to the walls, or create holes or other issues to fix when we leave. Also, no painting. I do like natural materials (like wood, or things that are found outside). Other than that, I really don't know?

Thank you, Jin Mousa! I need to think about the answers to your questions. I don't really know? I guess that's the problem.

Thinking about it, there was a moment when my focus was drawn away from the white shirts, a moment of confusion. I now know that was when I had to actively choose to not see the gorilla. This is so interesting. To think that it is possible to choose to look at something, and still not see it.
