JoJosMom Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Unkers had essential oils before essential oils were cool. The old packaging didn't even say essential oils. It's an Amish thang. #apparentlyI'mintoessentialoils #113yearoldrecipe There's a healing salve for horses called Zephyr's Garden which is magic. I wonder if they're similar?

JoJosMom Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Time to whine a little, so I get it out of my system. Time should simply STOP when I am sick until I can recover and take care of things again. Trying to think clearly and stay on top of everything when I am stuffed up or feeling crappy just doesn't do it for me. It should stop for EVERYONE dealing with more than they can handle. You'd think after so many years down here I'd have it all planned out for the last quarter of every year, but no, I never do. 6 birthdays, 3 holidays requiring prep time (4 if you count New Year's), our wedding anniversary, autumn allergies, educating kids, NaNoWriMo -- it's all a bit much. The things I CAN unload from my schedule I am unwilling to let go of, and the things I want to go away are perennially unavoidable. Of course. I don't wanna have to do laundry right now! So I made myself fold and put away the clean towels. I don't wanna have to worry about food and meals right now! So I cooked breakfast for my kids. I don't wanna have to drive anywhere cuz I'm stuffy! So I have taken some meds to be in fit shape to drive the kids to the dentist. I've made lists of what has to happen between now and Christmas. I've broken the lists out into specific days, to emphasize which things have earlier deadlines and which can wait until early next week. I've plotted and planned and communicated the timing necessary for various things so the immediate family is not taken by surprise and can't complain that I didn't let them know. I have been responsible, and will continue to be responsible. But I don't wanna. Okay, fuss fest over. Time to stop feeling sorry for myself over minor troubles and get on with life. Thanks for listening. It's not fair, AMJ. It's just not fair. :grouphug: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Little ds vomited this morning. He has been sneezing a lot, and now seems to be congested in his lungs. No fever. It is kind of odd unless the mucus drainage caused the vomiting. However little dd has been nauseous as well. She went to the bathroom twice feeling like she needed to vomit, but didn't.This is my kids. They throw up and then they're fine.

texasmama Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Make - up - I know I'm late to the party. I always do a moisturizer and under-eye concealer, even if I'm not wearing make up because without that it's scary. A normal day also adds a tinted moisturizer for base, very neutral/light eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara (because otherwise, no eyes), and lip stick - usually neutral ish, sometimes towards berry (see avatar). I used a mineral foundation for awhile but the make up brush would leave little hairs behind and that was a total pain. Yes, I washed the make up brush a gazillion times. It wasn't even a cheap one. #aintnobodygottimefordat. You can join Prof and me in our group cuz we are make-up triplets. Morning! Instead of getting breakfast ready, I am reading the late night edition of ITT. Breakfast is Greek yogurt with blueberries and granola. Except we're out of granola so it will be Cheerios. Dentist, post office, Aldi. Home, lunch, story. Science lesson, library, dinner. #schedulewaltz Everybody is going to the dentist! My favoritest picture of me ever was lost in a flash flood in the late 1990's. It was of the back of me, standing atop a dune at Great Sand Dunes, with my arms raised. My friend took it when we made a trip there, and the framing and light was beautifully captured. This is a sad story! :grouphug: Omigosh, you all have to go check out Google today! I went to google "Unkers" (thanks, Slashie-poo!), and saw lots of Google Beethoven fun! They have little composition puzzles -- a little video plays, then you have a puzzle. Once you complete the puzzle more video clip plays, and then another puzzle! ITT and Google are raising my spirits quite well right now! :001_tt1: :001_tt1: :001_tt1: :001_tt1: So much fun! I did it, too. "Twit" is one of my favorite appellations to use towards people who can't hear me and who have done some numbskull maneuver. (Well, "twit" and "idiot".) I will have to inform the girls of this definition so we can laugh together the next time I call someone a twit! You can add "anus" to your rude word list.

Teenage boys more so. I am hoping that our dental victims have zero trauma. I would have prescribed a pre-visit Valium or cocktail (or both) myself :D So sorry for all of the little sick ones. Ds11 was feeling crummy yesterday, and now has a fever :frown: He is really bummed because we had all kinds of fun planned for this afternoon and tomorrow and now he basically gets to do none of it:-( He is also sneezing and snotting all over creation. If we had gone, I would have been warding off glares of death from the other mothers, lol. Today I will tackle the much-procrastinated-upon Mount Laundry. I will get the kitchen in order. I will make my daily list for between now and Christmas. We host the entire family plus have various house guests on various evenings so I really need to get on it. I will also print about 60 pictures. Dh had the idea to buy some pretty French doors and paint them white (because our woodwork is white) and put pictures in the panes. Then we will hang them on a big wall that has always been too empty anyway. They are turning out to be lovely, but now I have to go through our thousands of digital photos and find the good ones. This is definitely a task that falls into a pain-in-the-butt but totally worth it:-) #isaidbutt 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Up so early? Everyone is very sick. Sounds amazing. I will have to get some. I haven't heard of it before. It was recommended to me by an older lady with chronic health problems. She was able to drop 3 medications because of it. One for arthritis, one for a lung problem and I forget the third. Once I didn't need percocet this stuff was enough for my back, and I've never put it on my feet and felt as bad or worse the next day, always much, much better. I am at the dentist. Waiting. Little ds vomited this morning. He has been sneezing a lot, and now seems to be congested in his lungs. No fever. It is kind of odd unless the mucus drainage caused the vomiting. However little dd has been nauseous as well. She went to the bathroom twice feeling like she needed to vomit, but didn't. That's us. Coughing, sore throats, runny noses, vomiting and dry heaving.

Professormom Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Yes, more the class division. I think that AoPS Intro to Algebra A will work okay for ds12, but I think we will need to jump ship after that and look for a different provider, potentially WTMA. He will need a slower pace. He is bright and mathy, but he is low confidence and so very much NOT a math contest kid. He thinks he will be doing geometry with AoPS at home alone. Nope. I don't see that happening. One step at a time. Did you see that they have a Stretch Intro to Algebra A? 22 weeks (at 2 hours each) instead of 16 weeks (at 90 minute each.) They don't have one for b yet, but I would think they will add that in as they move the first A class through. https://www.artofproblemsolving.com/school/course/stretch-algebra-a That might help him get over this hump and still use the program he wants?

Looking for unpleasant tasks to assign myself since my toothbrush is already tossed out. Maybe a deep clean of the half/guest bathroom? I also have to force cajole cause ds12 to take the AoPS pre tests for the online class. I met with great resistance this morning. I countered with the suggestion to review by using alcumus. JJMom, yes, we have the same caught in the middle kid, not public schooled and not PG. His large attitude is the thing most in his way at present. :willy_nilly: I will win this, though. I always do. Because Mom. You know they make doggy detanglers, right? For the record, I love pre sweetened box cereal for breakfast, and sometimes even supper. I eat it without any guilt.

Anniversary - move to January when I'd like a nice supper out and no one else is clogging up roads and restaurants. Birthdays - depending on closeness and age of relative - seriously downscale. Only cook for one of the holidays. Make the other ones catered or finger foods or whatever. Allergies - can't help you there. Educating kids - isn't so bad once you eliminate the other things. NaNoWriMo - #aintnobodygottimefordat. :leaving: Mostly, I'm kidding with you. I know I'm well qualified for the Humbug award, but I also know my limits.

Because I refused to clean off the poop of an animal I did not want and have it just come back. But he stopped doing that and now will put himself to bed in his cage when you open the door at night so I can clean it off.

prairiewindmomma Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I don't ever make breakfast for my kids in the am. I'm just not functioning then (RA & joints take forever to get going in the am). Plus, kids need to learn to feed themselves. I keep the house stocked with yogurt, eggs, toast, nuts, cereal, leftovers, fruit, veggies & dip and let them fend for themselves. My (newly) 3 yo has her own shelf with plastic bowls and plates and cups and a stepstool. She chucks everything in the sink rather than loading the dishwasher properly, but the only thing she needs help with is opening a new container of almond milk. I don't let her make pancakes or bacon or anything hot that can't be heated in the microwave....but when she's 5 we'll spend the summer learning to use the griddle. #notamartyr 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one kid who will quite literally eat nothing but tortilla chips if I don't put food in front of him. Dude.

lots of little ducklings Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I am at the dentist. Waiting. Little ds vomited this morning. He has been sneezing a lot, and now seems to be congested in his lungs. No fever. It is kind of odd unless the mucus drainage caused the vomiting. However little dd has been nauseous as well. She went to the bathroom twice feeling like she needed to vomit, but didn't. ((((Dawn)))) How'd it go? I was on cloud nine until about 38 seconds ago when everything wore off. Now I want to die.* :::DENTAL ALERT::: The endo's exact words upon opening me up were, "MY. No wonder you were taking so much Motrin." The pulp was so badly inflammed that she then ordered an extra scan to check everything out. But she only cleaned out the pulp, because insurance. Out of pocket for cleaning+filling today would have been $1300. Out of pocket for cleaning today and filling on or after January 1 = $16. Guess what I picked. She promises that after a few days recovery it won't hurt for Christmas. I liked her. I hope she's right. #insurancehoopssuck #isaidsuck *also a lie, at the moment at least.... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 So...what you are saying is you are at the dentist infecting them, who will in turn infect all of their clients. Smashing! Bwaaahahaha.... I often get sick after a dentist visit. Coincidence? I know. Matt called the dentist yesterday to tell them he was sick and they were like "That's OK, most of our patients are sick." Oh, so the fact that were in last week for a cleaning and now my children are up all night vomiting means nothing to you? No I didn't.* * Dang those bleepity bleep edit notifications.... Muwahahahaha!!!!!! I make three hots a day but they are not great hots, I tell you. Some are not hot at all. I have one kid who will quite literally eat nothing but tortilla chips if I don't put food in front of him. Dude. I try to make one really great meal a day involving protein and green veggies, and they have apples with breakfast and carrots and tomatoes with lunch. If other areas fall short I think we have the bases covered. #itseasywhentheyrelittle 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Ivy Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) Netflix ticks me off sometimes. So, our school does quarterly academic celebrations. This quarter is a movie and snack. However, we can only show G-rated movies, which are incredibly hard to come by now days (modern movies that the 4th graders want to watch). The movie Home just came out on Netflix. It's a cute movie, my daughter loves it, and I see no real reason for it being PG. So, I believed the Netflix rating. So, for the last 2 weeks, Home has shown rated G. Today? It's up to PG, so we can't show it!! We had 3 classrooms planning on showing it and the kids were so excited. Talk about ruining the celebration. :/ AND BOOYAH! My first BOOYAH!
