What a long two weeks...

If there were two weeks we could just wipe out...I choose the last two.  I have been up to my elbows in snot, vomit and tears for two weeks.  Ugh.  Its kept me from doing almost anything productive and exhausted me in the process so now I'm struggling with a cold of similar proportions.

We can't seem to get rid of the cough...Bella seems to have inherited my chronic cough after a cold.  Poor kid.  I'm actually trying some allergy medicine.  Its only been 2 days, but I do sense a difference in her.  Hmmm...allergies...something you don't think about unless you have them.  (it was a suggestion from my allergy ridden neighbor.)

And so there is the end of the last two weeks...may they never be repeated again.

Still talking about snot.

I know...I know...there should be more interesting things going on in my life than mucus, but the sad truth is that its what I am dealing with more than 70% of my day.  Between Maddie, Bella and I we've cornered the market.

I just can't believe HOW MUCH SNOT any one person can have during a cold.  Although, research suggests that even at the peak of a cold you are only truly producing about 14 grams or maybe 1/2 ounce of the stuff...

I don't believe it. 

Guess what else I found out in my research?  Somebody actually did a study on the effects of chicken noodle soup on mucus.  Drink up folks...those little bawk bawks and noodles vapors loosen it all up. 

Who would have thunk it?

Now, a quick shout out to the man who gave me all this great information - Mr. Cecil Adams, the self proclaimed smartest man in the world.  He's got the lowdown on anything you've ever wondered such as...

Can Coca-Cola be used as a contraceptive?

Is the Swiss Army Knife really used by the Swiss Army?

Did the inventor of the Slinky join a cult in Bolivia?

Yes...you can find answers to all these questions and more at http://www.straightdope.com/

Commercial is now over....and I need to blow my nose.
