So, no crushing and mixing.<br /><br />Steve Reed- It's not that big a deal, honestly. Just a change, which is always difficult at first.

Just about the time i was wondering why you didn't just get together wtih Hank and be done with it, you literally answered my question as I was finishing up the process of thinking it! It was really weird! Like a conversation of sorts. QUIT freaking me OUT! :-) Just kidding. It was cool.<br /><br />I've been haggling with my HMO most of this week so my brain is mush. In the evening I've been listening to Youtubes of Terence McKenna and Ram Dass just to chill my ass out! So, it's been that kind of week.<br /><br />Hope ya'll are feeling better soon.

It doesn't have an app for the iPhone though. Sigh--I hate changes like this because the reader just felt good to use and was easy. Oh well....hope that your sore throat is better. I awoke with one this AM. <br /><br />My challenge of the day was getting back from a three day outing on the boat and then organizing a Sail meet up with 15 people I hadn't met before. It was fun though. More on that late.

...Spelling? What spelling? I am typing in the dark.<br /><br />I just remembered that we once treated a very sick teddy with antibiotics and he made a real mess because he simply would not take the mushy icecream where my feverish little daughter had helped me to hide the medicine in. In the end she had to show him... But I suppose Owen is already way too smart for this.

He was in bad shape from the flu and becoming dehydrated because he wouldn't drink anything either. We took him in the middle of the night to the ER and when he wouldn't cooperate for them either, they strapped him to a cradle board to put an IV in. When he was feeling better soon after, the Dr gave him a popsicle and he willingly slurped it down. The Dr looked at me and said all I had to do instead of bringing him in was to offer him some juice, soda or a popsicle. Really doc? They do not know some of their toughest patients. When some children are stressed they won't cooperate to save their own life! This same boy later choked on gravel in the schoolyard, choked on chicken at the restaurant and darted in front of his school bus in second grade. He also held his kindergarten class hostage with his round tip scissors, until Mom had to come and calm everyone done. Doctors and teachers: go get some more training please. <br />Tell Lily to keep calm, this too shall pass. I sure know how she feels though. He's now grown and never had a broken bone, a car accident or even a ticket! <br />Sending love to Lily!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-49114223870672367532013-06-27T17:29:46.822-04:002013-06-27T17:29:46.822-04:00Yep, feedly.

But basically - never mind, you'll get there.<br /><br />I think it was the meds that my kid refused that made me cherish the value of decent and honest bribes in mothering. Good bribery is regretfully seriously uttunderrated. Maybe Owen knows that.
