rwbeagles-ugh...anyone else sick?

I am sick too Gina. Super scratchy sore throat, sinuses so dry and burning I can‘t stand it.  I am a phlegm factory, a headache and I have no energy.  

i would go with BK. we are gonna have frozen chicken gorgonzola from trader joes (30 minutes in the oven and it is done.) 

My arms feel like they weigh 20lbs a piece lol, NO energy....so BK is what I think we'll get. Lily wants the stupid toy they have anyways...lol. Happy sick kid is better than unhappy sick kid as far as this sick Momma is concerned.

 Nothing here, thank goodness, but I'll send you some Chicken Soup vibes...Get better quick.

I don't know what is going on with me today. I've very light headed and dizzy. I almost didn't come back to work after lunch. I don't have a cold though (yet!).

Hope you all are feeling better soon! 

I'm at the tail end of tonsilitis. Yuck!! Stupid me stopped taking her antibiotics when she started feeling better, since Amoxicillin is always a good thing to keep on hand, but it flared back up again....I knew better anyway.

 Sending good vibes to all of you other Sicklings!!

I stayed home today.  Work has been stressful lately, but yesterday I basically caught up on my stuff.  This morning I woke up and my throat was parched, my eye was stuck shut, and I was really congested.  I've been feeling strange all week because I decided to skip the placebo week of my birth control to see if it's true that I wouldn't get my period.  Well, I didn't get my period at all, but I still got some cramps, headaches, and cold-like symptoms I always get.  After a LOT of sleep and a really hot shower, I installed a baby gate as a dog door and am prepping to make the world's largest batch of Chex Mix, lol.

I don't really like Chex Mix the traditional stuff that's kinda savory? BUT I love that Muddy Buddy stuff you make with peanut butter, chocolate, and cover with powdered sugar. I think you should make me some of that LOL.

*cackle, cough, sniffle, owie*

Have you tried the chocolate and peanut butter Chex Mix?!?  It is sooo good.  If I don't watch it I could eat the whole bag in 10 minutes!!  Yummy!!

I'm just getting over a yucky cold. Flying on an airplane + really congested head and sinuses = ouuuchie!

I hope you guys all feel better soon :) I drank a bunch of camomile/echinacea tea and that seemed to help!

"Traditional" as in homemade, or the original flavor you can buy on the shelf?  Store-bought stuff tastes nothing like the real deal.

And yes, I'm also making Puppy Chow!  (peanut butter, margarine, semi-sweet choco chips, and powdered sugar.  Some of those rice chex boxes are for puppy chow. 

 OT - that gate, did you install it so it swings? Or do you have to take it up and down all the time? I'm so sick of stepping over my baby gate I could scream. I want one that installs like a swinging door.

This is exactly how I feel right now. Uggg, and I am drinking tons of green tea to try and hydrate and kick this. Boo to being sick! 

Oh there's definetly something going around here. Two weeks ago, the grandkids got sick on the weekend. The next day,besides the kids, both my daughter and son-in-law got it and missed work for two days.Than I got the croaky throat and achyness for about a week.My husband got a slight cold. My cousin's wife just got it this weekend and it's been making the rounds in her family of kids and grandkids.  Sure glad I got a flu shot--I think. Anyway, you can send some of that puppychow this way---it's soooo good!

Jewlieee

To preface my answer, this gate only cost $15, lol.  Yes, it is on hinges.  The hinges were a separate attachment that snap on to one side, so yes, I could leave it on, but because of where it is in the house I take it off (there's really nowhere for it to swing while it's open since it's right in the kitchen/main hallway).  It's sort of annoying to lock/unlock in place, but again it was the cheapest one they sold and I understand since it's really a baby gate there has to be a series of buttons and triggers so a kid couldn't open it himself.  Even with taking it on/off every time, the nice thing about those wall attachments is that now I have the gate set on a fixed width, so even though it's not as simple for me as swinging it open/shut, I don't have to spend minutes getting it the right width each time I use it.  I installed it a few inches up so that the cats can get under. I got it mainly because we are having a dinner party this weekend and also my little sister is taking care of Coke over Christmas and I figured she might want the option.  So, right now I don't mind taking it on/off with each use.  Kenya tried to fit under it, but Coke is pretty dumb (he falls for the draping-a-blanket-over-two-chairs-makes-a-solid-wall trick).  Coke is the one who can't be in the kitchen while I cook so it should work.
