He seems to get hit hard like that every so often and will then go through a long period of no illness. Odd, but that's how it goes around here. His pediatrician says, for kids, 8 infections/bugs are common in a year. That seems like a lot to me but so far this year, our kids are almost half way there already!Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05027471311686913787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4828733896685917273.post-69704486541508385772010-03-08T09:37:06.091-06:002010-03-08T09:37:06.091-06:00Yes, yes, yes! I have a suggestion that has REALLY...Yes, yes, yes! I have a suggestion that has REALLY helped me. I used to get colds fairly frequently but since last May I've had just 2 and they weren't too bad either (sometimes I am hit really hard). I use the NeilMed Sinus Rinse which is similar to a NetiPot (but I find the sinus rinse easier to use). Perhaps you've heard of them and/or used them before. They are really annoying (and pretty gross, frankly) to use on a regular basis - it requires fitting it into your regular routine - but I am telling you, they REALLY help with allergies and preventing illness. (They were even cited as being a great preventative of the H1N1 flu this past year.) I use mine every other night before I go to bed and it seems to keep me pretty healthy and my allergy symptoms are much improved. You can also use them during illness as long as your nose isn't completely stuffed up and it seems to shorten the duration of illness. I was sick about a month ago and had the cold for only 3 days. That NEVER happens to me - it normally lasts at least a week. This past year, I've been raving about the sinus rinse to all of my friends and family members - can't recommend it enough!Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05027471311686913787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4828733896685917273.post-47546498540440350802010-02-22T08:58:41.506-06:002010-02-22T08:58:41.506-06:00Hmmm.

With everything you do - taking care of your mom, mothering your 2 girls, working on your blog and various other computer projects (including this one!), your outdoor and indoor gardens, the cupcake competitions, volunteering at Dani's school, being a Daisy leader - there is just no way I see you as planting yourself on the couch and staying there, nor would I ever in a million years use the word "nothing" to describe any aspect of you or your life. If the sofa is part of your daily routine, it's for a much deserved rest! Your list of responsibilities and hobbies exhausts me just thinking about it! Perhaps that is what you mean, though, that some of your "food therapy" problems are a result of being frustrated with not having enough time or energy to take care of yourself after taking care of everything else. Perhaps you need to remove some things from your plate and use the leftover time to find some ways to take care of you. I know that you are frustrated with your weight, but I also know that you are a planner, an organizer, and a doer, and if you set your mind to working on losing weight, success is sure to be in your future!Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05027471311686913787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4828733896685917273.post-38698497856361920682009-12-01T14:27:21.580-06:002009-12-01T14:27:21.580-06:00We are huge kitchen gals too - I love the hen hous...We are huge kitchen gals too - I love the hen house in the kitchen!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4828733896685917273.post-13338497648689406592009-12-01T11:04:47.014-06:002009-12-01T11:04:47.014-06:00It's great to have in-laws that can do that fo...It's great to have in-laws that can do that for you!

Personally, I loved the interactions between Rosalie and Jacob in the last book especially. That is probably the highlight of the series for me. <br />I have to say that I got married at 19. It probably wasn't the best choice, but we the biggest point of conflict in our marriage is money, so I must say if I were Bella and marrying into the Cullens meant marriage with no money issues then, hey, why not go for it. And also, if I am not mistaken the birth of Renessmee was a complete accident b/c Bella was still human. It is not like she and Edward actively tried to get pregnant. <br />I enjoyed reading your post and I definitely can see your point of view.
