In one of my previous posts I talked about how when you become a mom things like boogers no longer bother you. Let me just say that even a Mom can only take so much! Isabelle and I both have a cold and let me tell you its been rough. I have no idea how someone so little can possibly have that much snot in her body. Thank goodness that having a runny nose isn't dehydrating otherwise I am sure she would have shriveled up and blew away by now. Also there is nothing that screams fun like having a head cold and feeling as though your head could explode at any moment and taking care of a cranky baby who fights you when you have to wipe her nose. Which by the way is every 5 minutes if not more. Oh the joys I tell you. The only thing that could be worse is that I know Colin is going to get sick and anyone who has ever been married knows that when a man is sick there ain't no one in this world that has ever been as sick as they are. Never mind that you had the exact same thing the week before oh no they are very sick and can't possibly get off the couch and do anything. Surely death is just around the corner waiting for them. When us women get sick we are still responsible to get the kids dressed, washed, changed and fed and keep the house clean and have food waiting when said men folk return from the arduous task of "bringing home the bacon". Sure they bring home the bacon but no one ever says anything about the wives waiting at home to clean, cut, cook and serve this "bacon". OK I am not totally sure where all of that came from but I am for now going to blame it on my cold and the drugs I am taking to combat the small cotton farm that is trying to take up residency in my head. Moving on.
I like to think I am a open minded individual. I was raised to treat everyone equal and to try new things and give everything a chance at least once. Every now and then though there comes along something that even I can't give the benefit of the doubt to. A prime example being orgasmic childbirth. I somehow stumbled across a website on my Internet travels that discusses how you too can have a pleasurable, sensual childbirth. Now first let me just say that I am in no way saying that it is wrong or anything like that and if any one believes in this or has experienced this, hey more power to you. To each his won right. After my initial shock and having to read the front page twice. I sat stunned. I mean I don't know about the rest of you but I have had 2 children and I don't recall anything sensual or orgasmic about it. Pain? yes. Agony? At times. Tiring? definitely. Orgasmic? Not so much. Let me say though I am willing to sign up for that kind of birth next time. I am sure that if everyone experienced this "orgasmic" childbirth there would be a lot more pregnant people around and happy ones at that.
Well on that note I am going to go and lay down with Isabelle and try to convince her that having a nap isn't a bad thing. Wish me luck.

Hey girl,
Have you been rubbing Issy down with Vicks vapour rub??? It will works wonders and NO she is not too young for a good ol' rub down! Have a nice warm bath and then rub her chest and her back generously before she goes to bed and then throw a turtle neck on under her pj's and she will feel ten times better! She may not like the smell or the feel of the vicks but it will help so much with the sinus thing!
Love ya!
((((HUGS)))
