What I'm Thinking About: September 15, 2006

Quote of My Day...

"Think what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon and then lay down on our blankets for a nap." Barbara Jordan

What I'm Thinking About Today...

Last night my sleep deprivation cause was my older son, Sam. I have no idea what was going on. He would wake up screaming and screaming. I thought it might be his teeth since he is getting a few molars, but even after having to practically tie him down to get him to swallow the Tylenol, he still was restless and just plain miserable. God only knows what he'll be like today...

Speaking of Tylenol, why do the infant/child Ibuprofen brands never give you a dropper? I just don't understand that one. They expect you to get out the measuring spoon or syringe in the middle of the night when your kid is screaming? I keep being told that I should give my son ibuprofen for teething but I just can't deal with having to measure it out. The dropper is just so much easier and mom-friendly.

Baby Product I Love Today...

This is not really a baby product but I'm going to catagorize it as one anyway. I love the stain remover Zout. It gets out everything! I've tried all the other standards like Shout and OxyClean, but the official stain remover for my house is Zout. Gets out poop stains. Gets out formula stains (and yes, formula does stain despite what everyone says). Gets out just about everything my two sons end up wearing on their clothes. No need to soak, either. Just spray, rub it in and toss it in the wash.

Baby Product I Hate Today...

I hate the baby wipes from Wal-Mart. You know, their brand. They are too thick and hard to get out of the container. When you have a major poop on your hands and a toddler ready to put his hands "down there," you need wipes that work. My favorite so far are the Target brand wipes. They smell great. They come out of the container easily. They're cheaper than name brand wipes. Try them...

What I'm Reading Today...

Last night's attempt to finish the chapter of "Hard Eight" that I am on failed. What can I say, I am becoming a sleep-deprived illiterate mother....
