I am totally amazed by these people who can write a blog post EVERY day. It feels like forever since I've written anything.
Updates:The kids father is moving back to GA in 6 weeks
I might be able to move closer to my family :)
Little Bear has pink eye (probably from the pool) Yuck!
I found a really great site for service dogs that help with PTSD
I have gone to the singles ward a couple times
Got a personalized license plate to raise awareness of PTSD
That's about all I can think of for now.
Oh, wait....
So this morning I didn't want to take Bear to the Dr's office for pink eye.
So I googled natural home remedies for pink eye.
I found THIS
I figured I would try a couple things out.
I didn't have any fennel seeds, chamomile flowers, turmeric, or boric acid.
but I did find a few items.
I went out side and broke off a small piece of an aloe plant.
Have you ever smelled that stuff?
It's like bitter B.O. and there was no way I was using that on my kid, so I tossed it in the trash.
I decided to go for the potato method, honey, and baking soda.
So I washed little Bear's eyes with the baking soda and water solution,
Then I applied potato slices to his eyes, (we did not wait the suggested 20 minutes)
and then for the honey.
I gooped up my finger with some of deseret's finest cannery honey
and ran my finger across his left eye followed by the right.
Bad idea...
"Ah!!!! Mom I have Fire eyes!!!"
uh oh
Fire eyes is not a good thing.
So we blinked and wiped the goo away.
Later in the morning I decided to wipe some honey in my eyes so I knew what it felt like.
Bear was right. It totally gave me "Fire Eyes", but went away quickly with a little blinking.
needless to say...we made it to the doctor this afternoon. Enough home remedies for today.
I hope to write more soon, but by the end of the day...
I feel like this.
