Airborne


So yest when I picked up Brynn from pre-school, the teacher said, the deadline for next year's 4 year old class is Sept. 1st but since she knows the routine, she's one of three that I'll accept in the fall. And by the way, she was sneezing so she had to sit on the assistant's lap during story time, away from the other kids. You should try some Airborne and have her take a nap this afternoon.
Of course we had plans baby! We were going out on the town! She didn't sneeze once while with me. Maybe she's allergic to the teacher. Maybe she is allergic to the other kids or a pet or something. But, I did pick up some Airborne. Last night I was feeling kind of stuffy so I' thought I'd take one too. I read the box, figured out how to get into the tube and popped one out. It looks like a giant vitamin c. So what do I do? Eat it.
Ohhhhhhhwwwwwwoooooooooowwwwwwwwwww. Fourth of July went off in my mouth + a sensation sort of like when you eat a lot of wasabi or hot Chinese mustard combined with that experiment the kids always want me to do in the kitchen, the vinegar and baking soda fizzy. You know, vapors out your nose and stuff. As a piece of it dissolved and was sliding down my throat I read in very small print: Dissolve for one minute in a glass of water. Duh. I felt it bubbling all the down my throat and in my chest. Ouch! After 6 glasses of water it didn't feel "hot" any more.
I don't think Brynn's getting any of that.
Big day today. Packages arriving=lots of wrapping, house cleaning, menu planning and playing with the little girls.
Have a good one.

We give Boston it when he acts like his Throat is hurting or Runny Nose. I give him a Half of one (IN WATER) and his sore throat goes away in a couple of days! I use it too. YOu can get it at Costco in Bulk! We also love the Emergen "C" in a packet at Good Earth it fizzes in your mouth too.
I'm sorry about your Throat! OUCH

That's a great story. I once got some ginger in my mouth while eating soup in the Philippines. I think it was fresh and raw because i thought I would die. I didn't want to swallow it but I couldn't spit it out on the table so it was a slow burn. . .
