My puffy eye



Lucas woke up yesterday from his afternoon nap (yes, he is napping every day now!!) with a puffy eye. He had no other symptoms (no red eye or drainage), so I didn't think much of it. This morning however, the swelling increased, so we took a trip to see Dr. Stone. A box of eye drops, some Benedryl, and a diagnosis of "eye allergies" later, we are back home.

I thought Benedryl was supposed to make your kid sleepy.

My kid has been dancing to old school Plankeye and Bleach for the past hour. I kid you not. He figured out how to use my Ipod docking station, so the music is cranked up and the boy barely even stopped long enough to eat. He likes the fast songs with drums. He doesn't even care if I'm watching him or not. He just wants to dance.

"Do you want to play outside, Buddy?"
"Nope, I just want to dance!"

Oh boy, I hear some techno music getting started. Someone tell me how to upload a video on my blog. This stuff is hysterical!

Poor Lucas. Allergies are the worst. How funny that he loves to dance! Last night we were at my mom's and Cogan saw American Idol for the first time. Really, the only TV he has ever seen is Saturday afternoon sports and PBS kids. He had a wisk as a microphone and was copying the singers. It was hilarious!

Oh, yes. With G, any medicine (Benadryl included) that says "may cause drowsiness" for him really means "will most definitely cause hyperactivity." Whoa, Nelly! :)

Baby steps

Guess what? I'm taking steps today to get just a little closer to my dream. We're off to the gym in a little bit to keep working towards losing those 38 pounds. I'm also working on a plan to sell specialty homemade cheesecakes during the holidays. Doing something I love and making some extra money for the people I love. Pretty great stuff!

Special K

I have developed a rather fond relationship with Kellogg's Special K Vanilla Almond. Low in fat (only 1.5 g) and made with whole grains, I eat this tasty treat as a meal and a snack. I'm eating some right now. Special thanks to Kat for introducing me to this delightful cereal. Our local Ingles has been running it on sale this past week, 2 for $4, so I stocked up. The milk is even on sale too, 2 for $5, making this treat yummy and affordable. Sweet, crispy flakes and crunchy almonds. What more could a girl ask for. By the way, you should go to Ingles. Everything is on sale. I picked up some lean ground beef today for $1.38 per pound. Now that's good for the budget. Low prices + good food = happy housewife

Let's go shopping at Aldi's!

If you're shopping at Aldi's this week, I recommend that you stock up on Eggs and Milk! Seriously, a dozen eggs for $1.09 and Milk for $2.19! The price of beef may have gone up, but I'm loving the other staples we get from a cow! I bought 4 dozen eggs this week. Overkill for sure, but when our family eats eggs, we usually eat 7 in one setting! Eggs and toast are a staple breakfast in our house - we eat that at least 4 times a week! It's fast and filling and cheap! If you're looking for something more exciting to do with your eggs, try making a breakfast casserole! I love this casserole from Ree, the Pioneer Woman. Everything she makes is delightful, but this recipe is especially great! As with most recipes, I tweaked it a bit to fit our tastes. For all of his perfect aspects, my handsome husband does not eat mushrooms. This could have been a deal breaker for me 13 years ago, but then I saw his drummer toned legs and I decided to look past his misjudgment! No ...
