Ohfour, I was going to text you yesterday. I was going to show you I've actually learned to text. But then I realized your number never got transferred over when I got my new phone so I couldn't! Drat!

Vette · Owl drink to that!

We are going shooting today and taking bf's son for the first time, I'm excited but understandably a little nervous, I guess I was around his age when I learned to shoot though I'm sure he'll be fine.

Nice sunny day for my area!

We were supposed to go to a swim party - but DD10 has swimmer's ear today and Baby J has a sore throat and cough. So, we are staying home.

Vette · Owl drink to that!

Swimmer's ear?

She went swimming the other day and got water stuck in her ear, which is causing pain. We have used the drops to clear it, but I'm keeping her out of the pool a few days. Water trapped in the ear can grow bacteria and cause an infection.

Vette · Owl drink to that!

Ooohhh, that would get really aggravating always having the feeling of water in your ear!

I'm going to be building lego robots today between washing bedding and putting garbage out and other housework. I haven't had time the last few weeks and it's really piled up.

I read that as "wedding bashing". Thought you were having a really bad day.

Vette · Owl drink to that!

Haha wedding bashing would be fun!

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

Motivation-I need it.

I have a confession. I am really really really missing my husband. By the time he gets back he will have been gone almost seven months. I will have seen him two weeks out of that. I'm a big girl and I can handle it but lately I've been kind of down about it.

Oh, that's sucks. I'm sorry. Make sure to welcome him home well. wink

He missed his birthday. We have a lot of birthday plans. I'm so restless and want to travel but that's all he does. When he gets home he just wants to rest. It's a bummer.

So far, I've put out the garbage, cleaned inside garbage cans, and cleared off the counter where I'm going to make the robots. I just keep procrastinating for some reason. Need to get another load of laundry in, then I'll start the robots. I think. I also have tomorrow, so maybe not.....

I just got home from my cousin's bridal shower. I hate showers. Detest them. This one was at a winery, so a bottle of wine later and it was semi tolerable. Now I have the munchies and want a nap.

Go to a drugstore and get a bulb-type ear syringe. Fill it with warm water (warm to the touch), put her head over the sink with the problem ear pointing down,

then gently squeeze the bulb to push clean water into the ear. The tip should be in the ear canal, but not really close to the eardrum.

It should drain out as you squeeze the bulb.

Don't put any "gel" into an ear, it just plugs things up worse. The problem could be caused by a build up of ear wax covering the eardrum and lining the ear canal.

Get regular hydrogen peroxide (I think it's 2%), use a dropper to fill the ear canal. Let it sit for a few minutes (with that ear pointed toward the ceiling).

While it's working, the person will hear bubbling in the ear as the hydrogen peroxide attacks the ear wax. It released oxygen bubbles as it softens the ear wax.

It will TICKLE as it works.

After 2 or 3 minutes, or when the bubbling stops, rinse with warm water over the sink, using a bulb-type ear syringe.

That's always worked here.

Today was a pretty good day. Except that I got lost leaving my own neighbourhood and then accidentally took my vulnerable and traumatized clients on a tour of the city's Skid Row. Not the best plan. They did a great job tho. We had to take a ten minute melt-down break to get everyone grounded again but they were champs!

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

Went shopping, stormed so bad! Got some good loot though.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

I just spent $45 on a gallon of dog shampoo. With DH's permission.

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

Does it come with a hot guy to do the shampooing of dog?

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

No. I wish.

I had a nice day, did the marketing, took Bunny to the playground. Spent over three hours getting him to pick up his toys this afternoon. He insisted on wearing he long sleeve and pants flannel pjs to bed, despite August in Texas. Crazy kid.

I'm still mad at SIL over last weekend. I asked her to watch Bunny so we could go to Husband's 20 year high school reunion. She agreed. I asked her 6 days in advance.
The day before she asked if she could bring the guy she had started dating in the meantime over to our home while she was babysitting. The guy she had been on two dates with, that we had never met. I said no and we found another sitter.
Today we found out that she only asked because our mutual friend told her she should ask before bringing a stranger to our house while she was supposed to be watching Bunny.

Grrr. I am so freaking mad right now. I thought I was getting over it, but knowing that she intended to do that without even asking?
So disappointing.

I've spent the better part of 3 hours building the first robot. Not done yet. This is making me rethink the amount of time kids will need, and length of time for each session. We were planning 5-6 one hour sessions. Now thinking they will need at least 2 hour sessions for 5-6 weeks. Crap! The kids are really excited and want to build all 5 robots that show on the box. Plus we want them to come up with their own robot. I think we're going to have to rethink this. Crap crap crap crap!!
