Cold, Seasonal Flu & H1N1 Symptoms

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

I got this great chart to help you decipher what sickness is going around in your house. As a mom, I am freaking out about H1N1, and this really helps to figure out what’s going on.  (That being said, always make sure you call your doctor for the proper medical care).

I’m leaving on Jet Plane. . .

Sunday, August 30th, 2009

To General Mills.  In a couple of hours.  Seriously.  Though I do know when I’ll be back again (Monday night!).

I’m excited.  We are a General Mills family.  I should take a picture of all the cereal we have at my house at any given time.  It’s amazing.  Okay, not so amazing since I buy it when it’s on sale or when I have coupons and then I stock up.  However, I am looking forward to seeing my blogger friends.  Here’s a list of all the wonderful ladies I’ll be there with:

If you want to follow this trip with me, the Twitter hashtag for the event is #tabletalk.

Let me honest though, I am slightly worried.  As many of you may remember, when I went to Stouffers in April, I came home to Will being taken by ambulance to the hospital.  I pray that doesn’t happen again.  I know, I know — It was a freak thing and my head knows that.  It’s just everything else that doesn’t seem to get that.  However, I did go to BlogHer, and he was fine, so this isn’t my first event out.

Now, I have to go pack and take a shower (I know, I know, TMI).  Have a great weekend, and I’ll see you all when I get back!
