So behind

Yep- once again I am way behind on several projects I am working on. I don't know how it happens but it seems too about once a quarter. One reason would have to be my allergies-- I thought everything in the winter was supposed to die therefore no allergy worries. But I guess not in Texas because they have never been worse. It took me out one whole day-- one whole day I was so miserable I couldn't do a thing!

I finally got this stuff I saw on Oprah-- the nose bidet-- you pour saline up one nostril and it fills your sinuses and comes out the other nostril. It takes about 15-20 seconds for this to happen and it feels pretty funky and the kids love it! Yes, I said the kids love it! They love to watch me do it. Is that not the dumbest thing ever? They crack up and think it is hilarious. It must be the age group, but really, it has helped me so much I think I am the newest nose bidet fan.

And another thing that has slowed me down

I got caught up in this book and then one night I could not put it down. I wept and was snottin' and carrying on for a good hour after finishing it. It was so bad that my eyes were still swollen the next day. So good, so sad-- a must read! It makes you so grateful to be born in the greatest country in the world and really feel for those who must suffer because of their birthplace.

And I have another great new find that I think everyone should have

These are my new loves!! I am not a fruit eater by any sense of the word. I really don't like much fruit- because it is too sweet. But these-- korean pears are awesome. I eat at least a 1/2 one everyday since I have discovered them. They are like an apple on steroids but they taste different and have a different texture. They come individually wrapped in these styrofoam nets and are pretty expensive to buy individually. So I go to the local Asian grocery store and just buy the case-- a case only has 9 of them but that is about a week or so supply. Good stuff.

Look at this--- ick!!

Jadyn found this huge snail in a cage that Bridger keeps in his room. We were sneaking around his room while he was in the shower to ensure that the hermit crabs are being properly cared for and it was picked up, etc. Then she pulls this huge snail out that I guess he has been keeping for a pet and I had no idea. Some things are just better not knowing!
