Drunk toddlers!

Ok…apparently this is the day for redirecting links.  Sorry about that.  I have one more link that I think ALL parents should know about.  It on Snopes, so that’s like the internet Bible of truth, right??

Check this out about hand sanitizers.  I don’t think we need to go over board, but we should definitely be in the know.  I, personally, was blown away.

Don’t let your mouth write a check that your body can’t cash

Big Mama directed her readers to this blog, but I feel like I need to share it as well.  The post is from a non-church goer.  It’s her amazingly honest encounter with a “Samaritan”, but it’s the comments that paralyzed me.

…so many people looking for “something” but religion once again has gotten in the way. 

Lord, please constantly remind me that my actions are being read by people and people need to see you through me.  Help me to be real…not real religious.

WFMW – Tick removal

Summer season means tick season.  It’s the Missouri way!  Usually we get the nail polish remover out and start sufficating the little booger out.  For our boys that’s a problem because they both have sensitive skin.

A few weeks ago a friend told me about a safer way of removing those repulsive critters (I love ‘em, can’t ya tell?).  I got a chance to try it out on myself just the other day and it worked WAY better.

Take a cotton ball and put any liquid soap on it and rub it all over the tick.  Hold the cotton ball on the tick for about 20 seconds or so and when you remove the cotton ball, the tick will have it’s nasty little head out and will be clinging to the cotton ball for dear life!  Apparently it can’t breathe through the soap.  No stinging, no pain and works for those hard to reach areas.

Isn’t that great?!  Also, with Lyme’s Disease running rampant, don’t forget to check the place where the tick was within 12-24 hours after the head comes out.  If there’s a bull’s eye around the spot go see your doctor immediately!!

 That’s my tip for this Wednesday…head on over to Shannon’s for gobs more.
