We've used weighted vests with some of the autistic kids at school. It really seems to help.
I do use something similar during the day, but you can only wear it for so long each day or it loses it effect.

Melatonin isn't helping for sleep as much as it has in the past.

Apparently the right combination of Swiss chard and miso creates a flavor like beets. I hate beets.

There goes my massive plate of fresh pasta down the drain. :(

I'm sick AGAIN and with my cut hours at work I really can't afford to go to the doctor for a 3rd time in the past 4 or 5 weeks. I'm praying that if I call, they can just give me another round of the same antibiotics.
Are you sick with a virus? If so, antibiotics aren't going to do anything.

I've had germs since before Christmas..first a cough and cold..then the snuffles went away but the cough remained. Now I have a new cold, probably because the child brought something home from daycare. I don't go to the doctor for colds though. I bought decongestants, but these germs laugh at my measly pill.

After a night out drinking this past Wednesday, I got a few slices of pizza from this place near the bar. In my slightly less than sober state, I decided taking a huge bite as soon as the pizza was handed to me was a perfectly acceptable thing to do. Said pizza had come directly from the oven. Can you get a third degree burn on the roof of your mouth? Yea, not fun. Just slightly higher on the list of fun things to do than biting into your tongue. Not biting your tongue, biting into your tongue.

Between those two little oral incidents and the bout of monkey flu (aka terrible cold/sore throat deal) I had, my mouth has been miserable this week.

I don't think it's a virus. At first I had bronchitis, then the flu, now I have a really stopped up nose and a bad cough (which is what I had when I had bronchitis). I think infection has set up in my sinuses (which happens a lot for me, I had a surgery for it, but obviously it's still happening) and just won't go away.

Oh, sorry if you thought I was suggesting the vest. I was just trying to let you know I knew what you were talking about. :) I found it interesting how those vests helped our kids. Hope you don't have to wait long for the blanket!

Just realized that Valentine's Day is in a month. Josh is going to be with his new girlfriend and I am going to be alone. BRB, going to go wallow in my own self pity for the rest of the day.

Ugh I just ran a bath for Hannah and forgot to flip the switch to close the drain. I didn't realize it either until the hot wter ran out. So now she has a half bath with lukewarm water. Ugh

Not a vent, but I glanced at the title of this thread I swear it looked like "The Vomiting Thread" for a split second.

Aw hugs to y'all and yalls men <3
Some men can be dependent, it can be a curse or a blessing, and I think y'all are good ;)

My vent for the day: Saturday night I was slightly drunk - from margaritas with way to much tequila. I will NEVER drink tequila again. Yesterday I had the runs so bad I couldn't stay off the toilet (sorry tmi) and I had a headache so bad my eyes were burning. Today my stomach was still a little upset and I haven't stopped eating since I didn't eat a lot yesterday but now I feel like a cow cause I am so hungry!!!

So let me get this straight... You're doing everything Cesar says and you claim he's a dog training god but your dog is still doing the behaviour you don't like... So you get mad at me when I suggest other more scientifically based training methods after you ask me for advice? Why did you ask me in the first place, customer?

I hope my boss(es) know how much work I put in today to get all my stuff done. I hate days where it's like 'We need you to do XYZ. And we need it all in an hour!'

Guess who worked through lunch?

When it is 6:30, and we close at 7, please do not spend 25 minutes trying to decide which days you want to schedule your cats' vaccine appointments on. Go home, look at a calendar, call us back when you figure it out!! We have stuff to do at the end of the day and you're interrupting that.
