Oh the weather outside is...beautiful

but not for my head. It's warm, it's cold, it's raining, it's snowing, it's sunny...it's spring. And all this crazy weather is making my migraines go bonkers. So I've been absent because I've been trying to stay off the computer. The computer doesn't help my head.

We are here and essentially all fine. The Little Man seems to have gotten past the trauma of his allergic reaction.

The irony is that Sunday night Older Boy got sick. At 3 AM. In his bed. EVERYWHERE. It was very similar to the Little Man and if it hadn't been for the Little Man's sneezing and running nose and the fact that Benadryl halted it (and Older Boy's 99 degree fever the next day) I would have sworn they had the same thing. It took me all week to get Older Boys room back the way it was. Did I say it was BAD it was B.A.D. Need tips on getting vomit out of a mattress?? Use the tips and products found in this EHow article. It's what finally did the trick. You can get the products expedited to your house. Shipping will cost more than the products themselves in some cases, but it's much less than a new mattress. I'm just saying...

Other than that I've been trying to get pieces of spring cleaning done and I really need to move outside and get the yard work started. There's much to do and not much time to get things done. And with my head not cooperating it's making it even worse.

So if I'm not around I'm cleaning, weeding, or nursing a migraine. But we are all good and for the most part, not much is new.

I did find a "new to me" gluten free forum called Gluten Free Faces today. Anyone ever heard of or use this? It looks really interesting. I haven't had time to check it out yet but I will soon.

Are you watching Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution? What do you think? I LOVE it! And at least with some of the people I know, it's gotten people talking and taking notice. I wish he'd come to our school :) Did you sign the petition yet? If you haven't, you should check it out. And you can check out more about Jamie here.
Jody wrote a blog post on WEGO Health about Jamie Oliver and the Food Revolution here. Stop by, check it out and leave your thoughts on the state of our school lunches and our food in general.

Back soon! Be well and enjoy the weather :)

I am sorry about the migraines. My son just started getting them this year -- he'd never had them before.

It's hard for me to clean up after sick kids without getting sick just from the smell. Ugh. Glad he's better and you found good product to help in the clean-up.

I have seen parts of the Food Revolution. I can see how it would take time for people's taste to change, but it is hard to understand those actively against him.

Oh sweetie - what a week for you! I'm glad you're all on the mend, and i hope that your migraines go away - those are brutal so take care of yourself.

i am LOVING the jamie oliver food revolution. it's changed how i'm packing bella's lunch every day (which was pretty healthy to begin with) - it's just made me so aware of how much is wrong with our school system. french fries are NOT a vegetable! :)

I know that it sounds pretty dorky, but would you consider putting one of those mattress covers on his bed? We have one on K-'s bed just for that. Believe me, it saved me from massive chocolate vomit. (More than you wanted to know. Sorry.) In fact, when I pitched it into the laundry for probably the second or third time, it has started to rip a little. I need to replace it!

Feel better soon!

Hi,

You have a nice blog. I just thought of mentioning about this website www.dustmitesallergies.org. They seem to offer specialized advice of dust mite allergy.
