Pet peeves-what drives me nuts

Before reading on I have one rule. You CAN NOT get offended if you like these things. It's just my opinion and my blog so I'm posting about it, but it doesn't mean I won't like you if you like these things. Okay now we are ready.


1. bad teeth (this is a deal breaker)


2. Uggs. they are just not for me, especially when worn with the sweat pants


3. The foundation mask. match your skin tone please and fade into neck and most importantly, PLEASE tell me if I have one. I do try hard to avoid it.

4. Kevin bacon. There is just something about the way he looks that is creepy, not the acting.


5. Over doing the tan. A little tan nice, but when it's so much that you look like your under a fluorescent light then back off the tanning salon.

6. Overplucked eyebrows. You know the kind that is hardly there then drawn on with a very thin line. YUCK!


7. the family stickers on the back of your car. Why give complete strangers all that info, how many kids you have, and their names.



8. Cartoon characters on children's clothes. Now sometimes this can be pulled off, but usually not. If my daughter is begging me for a t-shirt with barbie on it, then I will consider barbie PJ's but not clothes.


9.Feeling sticky. I don't mind being a little dirty, but sticky makes me claustrophobic.


10. crooked rugs. They have to be straight and centered. You have no idea how many times I straighten rugs.


11. The women's onesie, AKA the romper or jumpsuit. They need to go back to the playground, they don't belong on adults. It's like wearing a denim shirt with jeans.
okay I'm done, just remeber not to get offended if you like these things. Now tell me......

QUESTION # 5
What bothers you. I'm really interested to know.

when to call the doctor

First I will start by saying that Kennedee is ok, but unfortunately it looks like she has asthma. A couple times this summer she was breathing rapidly and wheezing, but it only lasted a day, so I never thought too much of it. It happened again on Thursday but got worse and worse. She was really strugggling to breathe and extremely lethargic all day..........so I took her to urgent care at 8pm. They gave her 2 breathing treatments, but the Dr. felt she needed more than they could give so he said we should go to the hospital. I went to pull the car around and when I returned, the Dr. said her oxygen was still rather low and he wanted to have her transported to the hospital via paramedics. Here is where I got more worried. They continued her breathing treatment in the ambulance truck to the hospital. She was given some chest x-rays and some other medications. She definitely was breathing so much better when they discharged us at 12:30am and I felt better about taking her home.
The next day I took her for a follow up at her pediatrician. At first the Dr. thought me might have to admit her to the hospital, but she responded well to 2 more breathing treatments in the office. So they said she had bronchiospasms and asthma. For now, we went and purchased a nebulizer to continue giving her meds at home. She fought it at first, but now is getting better at having the mask on her face. We'll follow up on Tuesday to get a better idea of what to expect in the future.
Poor baby.
