    OMG..the flu is horrible!

    I'd take your son to the doctor to rule out things like strep. My daughter was diagnosed with it on Friday. Her fever was up to almost 103. A couple weeks ago, she did have a virus on top of an ear infection and her fever kept going up and down, up to about 103-ish. I would make sure he is...

    anyone use Turbo Tax

    I have used Tax Cut (basically the same thing) for several years now and it is SO EASY to use. It walks you through EVERYTHING. And if you use it now, and then get the software again next year, it will import all of this year's data into next year's and then you just have to make the small...

    Facial Moisturizers w/self tan (or whatever the wording is!)

    Have you looked to see if drugstore.com has it? They carry all sorts of things you can't find in stores anymore.

    T3

    They're okay...a lot of people like them, but there's a little more stopping and starting than I prefer. IMO, nothing else will ever compare to the old Get Ripped Advanced. Like I said, a lot of people like them but I suggest trying to borrow them from Netflix or something first.

    Peeps Thurs Feb 26

    Good morning, Peeps! It's been a while since I've been here. No workout for me yesterday as I was tired from a stressful night before. This morning can be chalked up to indecision, I guess. I started with one lower body workout and it was a little too boring. So I started another one and I...

    I have asked my husband at least 1000 times...

    I personally think that if your DH is home around the boys' bed time, he should do story time. It would be some nice 'together' time for all of them! They don't have to wrestle around, but if they know that daddy might be reading to them, they'd love that. In fact, my DD (almost 10) has...

    Do You Travel With Your Dog(s)?

    We don't travel with our pets. They're 55 and 85 pounds. Plus, they're not socialized well enough for us to trust them to behave. But we have a fabulous young woman from our church that does house sitting and pet sitting and she comes and stays at our house when we go out of town. She feeds...

    drinking water with lemon

    Before I started enjoying plain water, I did it just to add a little bit of flavor to it. What I really like is water with a slice of pink grapefruit in it...it's so refreshing!

    my cat won't take her meds

    *disclaimer* - I'm not a cat owner, not really a cat person, either, but it seems like a reasonable idea... What about opening up a fish oil capsule and covering the pill with it? I have no idea what would work for a cat. When one of my dogs had to have pills, I would wrap it in ham or...

    I did a bad thing

    I hope you don't mind my two cents. I've been through army basic training. Now, the first part of what I'm about to say is going to sound insensitive and for the life of me, I don't mean it to be...but if your son is old enough to go through boot camp, he is old enough to hold his own and...

    Dog Shampoo recommendations??

    A few years ago, our vet commented on what beautiful coats our dogs had and he was shocked when we told him we used our Suave apple scented shampoo! It's probably better to use shampoo suited for dogs' coat and skin but we never had problems with the suave.

    PEEPS Wed Feb 18

    Hi Peeps! This morning I ended up doing half an hour on my elliptical and jamming to music. It was a great workout! Tomorrow is ME again. I'm home from work early today as I have to take DD to Denver to spend the next few days at her grandparents'. A few hours of missed work today will...

    Peeps Tues Feb 10

    Good morning Peeps! Quick check-in, then I need to hit the shower. I did Tae Bo's Elite Fat Blasting Cardio this morning. It was a really good workout for me...it worked out all my stiffness/soreness from yesterday's weights and I got a tremendous abs workout the way I like them to be worked...

    Ultimate Late Valentine Gift

    I think that was awesome of your DH to do that! Mine would never even attempt my workouts...he will openly admit that he thinks they might kill him :D

    Peeps on Mon feb 16

    Okay, am I the only one here that had to work? DD had school, too! We don't get snow days, we don't get minor holidays, we just get school conference days LOL. I did ME this morning and it was great! A bit too long, though, so I'll do the timesaver premix next time. I felt a little weak...

    Need help with belly fat

    Ellie, I just picked up the Flat Belly Diet book because, like you, that is a big trouble area for me (although it looks fine under clothes). I like it, it's easy and I actually stay satisfied. I'm not following it to a T, either, as I just can't at dinner time. It has easy meals for...

    Working Moms Help Me Out!!

    I went back to work a few months ago and it was a shocker! I still am learning how to manage my time, but one of the biggest things that helps is that I will prepare most of the week's meals on the weekend and then freeze them. We make our menu ahead of time so we know what we're having, go...

    PEEPS Valentines Day

    Phyllis, Yes...we have a mouse in the house! It's in our kitchen, somewhere behind the cabinets and drawers. It's gotten into a few of our drawers and cabinets, so the things that have been cleaned are all over our counter and we still need to clean out the rest of the drawers today...

    PEEPS Valentines Day

    Good morning, Peeps! No formal workout today...I'm doing SuperClean Extreme in the kitchen to clean up after our little 'guest'. We'll see if we caught him last night...so far no luck, though! DH thinks he must be able to fly since he's not setting off the traps LOL. I'll get some...
