So it hasn’t been a secret around my household that we are tight on money because since my husband and I split there is only one income coming into the house. I try to make it so that we are living ok but I know the girls notice that I’ve cut back on eating out and I don’t really splurge on things I used to for them. We buy only necessary things.

Water down

For about the past few days I’ve been noticing that all the bottles have been magically refilling themselves not by a lot maybe an inch or two. Then in the basket where I keep all my beauty products I noticed that two bottles of body splash that  didn’t like were empty, without hesitation I just tossed them.  I didn’t pay much mind to either situation. Yesterday while I lay on my bed, my little one comes over to me with a full bottle of body splash. She tells me “Mom want to smell the perfume I made?” She sprayed it all over me and it didn’t smell bad but it prompted me to ask where she got it because I didn’t remember buying it. Her response was the following and I absolutely love her for it. “Mom I know we don’t have a lot of money so I used all the little bits of perfume you had and made my own, I also added water to your shampoo, hand sanitizer, body splash and soap for the hands. I wanted to help you so that you wont have to worry about anything. Please don’t be made at me I love you” I explained to her not to do those things and why. Yes now most of the liquids in the house are a bit watered down but I hugged her because of the intention behind her actions.

Eww you got cooties

Today as I sat down to eat my lunch I was as usual, listening to the News when I heard the one word that made my eyes dart towards the TV.. FLU. Yes flu, in my house hold FLU= asthma attacks and hospital runs. The flu has been reported in 46 states, most of them in the southern part of the country, with 29 reporting “high activity.” Higher than normal rates have been reported in Virginia, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North and South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Illinois and Utah. Yes scary stuff. Watch out for symptoms that typically include rapid onset of fever, chills, headache and muscle ache. A runny nose, sore throat and cough often follow.

flu

Here are a few tips to try steering away the flu

  • Frequently wash hands
  • Use hand sanitizers (provide your child with small ones that clip to the back pack)
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth (Germs spread this way)
  • Stay away from sick people
  • Sneeze into the inside of your elbow
  • Do not share cups with anyone
  • Drink vitamin C daily (a big cup of orange juice on an empty stomach is good)
  • Wipe down door knobs, remote control and everything that people touch frequently in your house with antibacterial wipes
  • Keep Lysol handy
  • Put a few drops of Clorox in your dish washing detergent
  • Make sure to wipe down shopping carts

Hope everyone stays Flu Free this season!

 

 

Now is a good time
