Oh, the action around here!
If patience is a virtue. Than I am one depraved woman. I get all jittery waiting for Internet Explorer to open. I don't need coffee because my brain is usually ramped up and ready to go, go, go!!! It is not something I am proud of. Actually, I am ...
I don't think that there is anything to worry about. Yes, people have died from the swine flu. But, people have died from the regular flu as well. All we can do is try to keep our immune systems strong by eating healthy and excercising and we shou...
I am not looking to get into a big disagreement or discussion over things, but just want to add our families' situation to the replies.
Jaylen has Autism, was diagnosed at 18 months, and he will never get another vaccine that contains any trace o...
I wrote a couple of posts about H1N1 and the vaccine industry, if anyone is interested. I'm getting more and more skeptical of the whole thing. You can find them here: http://greenoptions.com/author/allisonwolff
I'll jump back in because I don't know if I am getting over the h1n1 virus or another flu virus, but I got hit with something last week, and I was shocked at how hard it hit. I was fine on Thursday, just a weird little dry cough and by the middle ...
Personally, I feel this shot is too new for my situation, but believe we should trust the CDC & WHO. I have twin 1YO boys who were 3 months premature. They do not go to daycare and therefore are not exposed to other children. Not only this, but th...
I just took Graham this morning for his regular, seasonal, preservative free flu shot. I opted not to get him the H1N1 after much debate. I'm still not sure how I feel about my decision. But, I think we all have to do what is best for our families...
After a lot of research and talking with various medical professionals, we decided to get the h1n1 shot.
My daughter is considered high risk and her pediatrician, pediatric allergist and pediatric rheumatologist all urged us to get the shot. The ...
As an FYI, My five year old son had the mist last week (H1N1) I had the shot two weeks ago for H1N1. So far we are both fine. You cannot get the flu from the flu shot. (it is not a live virus and the most you will get is your immune's response as ...
I agree that it is a lot of BS. Any drug company is going to tell you - you need the shot. I got so horribly sick when I did get the flu shots that - I said'what is the point" . Vaccines are not the end all of the flu. People die from getting the ...
I've decided I'm not doing the Swine Flu. Mainly b/c I do feel like the information is unclear and I don't think getting the flu is as bad as originally thought.
Luckily, I'm a stay at home so I don't have to worry about taking off work if my kid...
I think I can add some new perspective to this chain -- we already had H1N1 at our house.
An outbreak started in our schools the first week of October. The following week, the live virus vaccine was available at the health department for kids und...
I second Sheryl Loch's comments. Know anyone who used to work for big pharma? Your kids are big business...make no mistake. Know this too, if your child is injured by the H1N1 vaccine, pharma and the government are exempt from any wrong doing. TSi...
Hi,
I'm the UK but I'm just recovering from a bout of swine flu. Before I contracted it I was thinking twice about whether to get my son the swine flu shot (he's asthmatic, and has had the regular flu shot). But having experienced it I would say ...
Beware of them mercola site. He is angling to sell vitamins and his rhetoric suits his purposes. I have been vaccinated with no problems and it has been weeks. So many children here have had the vaccine without incident. There is a flu-like illnes...
Not sure why the two shot idea is floating around but it is totally bogus in the US (k trying to read, but looks like maybe you in Canada are talking about a double shot?). Hubby had his at the fire dept last week and the kids and I had it Monday ...

Patience is a Virtue
If patience is a virtue. Than I am one depraved woman. I get all jittery waiting for Internet Explorer to open. I don't need coffee because my brain is usually ramped up and ready to go, go, go!!! It is not something I am proud of. Actually, I am quite ashamed of this inherent tendency. So, in an effort to fight my God given nature, I deep breathe and listen to mindfulness Pod casts by Buddhist monks.

Mommy Guilt
"Fear and guilt are the only enemies
of man." -- Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
According to dictionary.com the definition of guilt is a feeling of responsibility or remorse for some offense, crime, wrong, etc., whether real or imagined. The guilt gene is triggered the minute we become a mothers. Guilt it weighs us down. It creeps into our psyches and keeps us up at night.
There are two types of guilt one is for something that we have actually done. The other is for something with think we should hav… Continue

I am Hositing a Virtual Pity Party
Did you have one of those days where you just wanted to chuck it all in? Call it a day. Say "I'm done here!" You wonder to yourself, "Does anyone notice how hard I am working?" All the trips to the grocery store, every tantrum you soothe, every cheesy bread you bake -- does anyone see it? If a tree fell in the… Continue

It's a Wonderful Life
I was at Bed, Bath & Beyond last week, and it's BEYOND me as to why they are putting up Christmas stuff THREE WEEKS before Halloween! But it got me thinking about one of my all time favorite Christmas movies, It's A Wonderful Life. Growing up, we didn't really have any family traditions to speak of, the only one that comes to mind is watching It's A Wonderful Life on Christmas Eve. Now, back in the day waaay before cable TV, as you remember, we only had a few channels. And every Christmas Ev… Continue

Coming Out of the Closet
Over the years, I have witnessed friends coming out of the closet. I have always admired their strength and resilience. I mean, to tell the world who you truly are knowing that you could seriously jeopardize your career, your relationships, that you could be the target of ridicule and scrutiny is one of the most difficult things a person can do. Knowing that by telling the truth about yourself, people might never perceive you in the same way again.
