Elmers Magnificent Manicure review

No matter what age, every girl deserves to be pampered. When I received the Magnificent Manicure Kit by Elmers in the mail for review I was a bit hesitant because the age range is ages 8+ and Sophia is just going to be 4. The minute I started reading the product directions that hesitation was quickly put to rest and I was very excited to try it out with her! Sophia was just as excited to make her very own lotion and sea salt scrub!

What I loved the most about the kit was that in the instructions it includes a group of questions regarding the step you are taking in making your spa products, challenging the child to evaluate what they are doing on a different level. So not only is the child having a blast having their girly fun, they are learning chemistry as well! As some of you know, Sophia has sensory processing disorder and part of the discomfort for her is tactile aversion (The feel of everyday items can upset her immensely) so this was also a very therapeutic project for her as she had to feel some different textures that she wasn't used to!

If you have a little lady or tween that loves to be girly this is a great item! The Elmers Magnificent Manicure Kit just picked up Creative Child Magazine's 2009 Toy of the Year Award in the Educational Toys Category. The kit is available now at your local Toys "R" Us and Toysrus.com and retails at a low $19.99 Sophia and I definitely give this a two thumbs up and we cant wait to use it again!

Exergen Temporal Scanner Review

I'll admit it, I am a worrying mommy. First sign of anything 'off' with Sophia and I automatically wonder "Is she getting sick?!" Being the worrying mommy that I am you can bet that I often reach for the thermometer to check for fevers. Trust me checking the temperature on a 3 year old is no easy task. Until now.

Honestly this review couldn't have come at a better time. The day before I received the Exergen temporal scanner I was diagnosed with H1N1 and 3 days after I was diagnosed my poor sweet Sophia caught it. Now, I would never wish to be as ill as we were but having this God sent product on hand made it a little easier. Like I said before, checking the temperature on a finicky 3 year old is one heck of a job but add in a nasty flu and it is just THAT much harder.

With the Exergen Temporal Scanner there are no battles of keeping the thermometer under the arm or under the tongue. With just one quick and easy swipe of the Temporal Scanner across the forehead you are given quick and accurate results. In fact, I was quite impressed with the consistent and accurate readings from it. There are several comparable products on the market today but I urge you all to go straight for this product. It is definitely a must have and is sure to make those nasty seasonal colds and flu's easier to handle.

The Exergen Temporal Scanner can be purchased at Walmart, Walgreens and Babies-r-us (for a full list of retailers please visit here) and runs about $30. Go and pick yours up today.

Wordless Wednesday- Kissy Fishy

Swine flu, pneumonia and insomnia OH MY

Damn. That is about all Ive got to say about the past 3ish weeks of my life. FIRST I like all of a sudden get sick as all hell and go to the ER on a Wednesday only to find out I swabbed positive for H1N1 and chest Xray was positive for pneumonia. WOOT. Then Thursday little bit started feeling yucky so I took her in (sporting my sexy as hell cootie mask I was required to wear) and SHE swabs positive for H1N1. Fuck me. Soo we spend all of Thursday and Friday feeling like death with fevers no lower than 102 and feeling as if I was run over by a train. Come Saturday my breathing was so bad that I decided to drive MYSELF back to the hospital and hope that they would give me a nebulizer or SOMETHING but instead the ass cracks decided to admit me. I was there through Tuesday. Long story short, Sophia is fever free and feeling great. I am fever free and just trying to get rid of the end of this cough but other than that feeling MUCH better. Damn you to hell swine flu.

SO other than coming down with the worst case of the flu like EVER I have had quite an eventful month. The divorce as you all know is final, thank the good Lord! Although that psycho POS still thinks I am like his BFF or whatever, but...yeah not so much. Suck a fat one buddy I'm pretty much just over your BS.

That pretty much sums up the extent of this past few weeks of my life. Don't be jealous you know you wish it was all you am I right? HA.

Until next time my loves.
xoxo

For better or for worse. But really just for worse.

Dear Mother Fucker:

Where do I even begin? On September 25,2005 I vowed to you before God and all of my family to love and to cherish you. For better or for worse. In sickness and in health. I have a strong faith in God and I was raised with the moral that divorce is not the answer. Maybe that is why I have spent the last 4 years of my life in complete and utter misery.

While our precious angel was going through extensive health problems and hospitalized on a regular basis I was unable to work. But while I was unable to work I spent countless nights sleeping in chairs in hospital rooms. Worrying myself sick about my child, OUR child. And what were you doing during those times while I was in the hospital? Or what about those times I was waking up at 3am and rushing to the emergency room deathly afraid for our daughters health? Sure you worked. You brought in a paycheck. But what the fuck exactly did you do with that paycheck? Why were we always behind on our bills. Why was I always calling ad begging bill collectors and utility companies to work with us? Because you were a drug addict. Because you constantly lies to me about the money that was made and you spent a minimum of $200 a week on marijuana. And aside from working you smoked pot and sat on your fucking ass. Sad as it is to say you never one time changed a diaper until we separated on December 27,2008. Sophia was almost 3 at that time.

How many times did I come to you in tears, begging you to go to the park with her and I. Or maybe out to dinner. Even a simple walk around the block. You never obliged. You were to God damned busy smoking your life away to worry about your family. You were to damn busy degrading me for not working. When I couldn't work BC I was our daughters sole medical guarantor and had to be there for her therapies 5 days a week. The constant doctors appointments. The MRIs. The EEGs. I was the one crying in the hospital as those doctors had to hold my precious angel down to draw blood or insert IVs. All the while you sat at home with your son of a bitch friends and got high.

And then I woke up one day and I realized I refused to live that life anymore. I refused to let you make me feel like a failure. I refused to let you put drugs before your family. And on December 27,2008 I told you to leave. And that time I meant it.

I filed for divorce. And from December to March you stopped smoking. I know you did BC I could look at you and tell there was a major change in your complete being.

On March 1,2009 I allowed you to move back in. Things were great. I whole heartedly believed that our marriage stood a chance. But on March 12th I caught you in a big lie and it was then that I realized that even though you were sober, you were still a compulsive liar and manipulator. And out the door you went.

I have spent the past 6 fucking months being badgered by you. Degraded. Called every fucking name in the book. Ive been told I don't give a fuck about my family and that I am doing nothing but ruining my daughters life by divorcing you. You have been able to send me to the deepest depths of depression and made me so mother fucking angry in these months that there is no forgiveness in me for you right now.

I have strong suspicions you are doing drugs again and that is not something my daughter deserves. You have stepped up your game as her father these past months but you have also told her, a three year old innocent child, hateful degrading things about her mommy. Her mommy who has ALWAYS been there for her. HOW DARE YOU try and make her think I am hurting her by divorcing her father. I am protecting my child from a situation that was so unhealthy for her and I to be in. To see us constantly fighting and arguing. To never have had spent any quality time with her daddy until mommy finally told him to leave.

Up until today I have let you hurt me and manipulate me and I am finally able to honestly say I am done. I want nothing to fucking do with you. I have asked you not to contact me unless it directly regards our daughter.

It is early Monday morning and I will be in court at 9am on Tuesday morning for our divorce hearing and I will finally be set free. I am no longer your door mat. I am no longer your puppet. I am my own person and I now live for me and for my daughter.

I hope you live with the guilt of the family that you tore apart for a long long time BC neither her nor I deserved the 4 years of hell that we endured.

Reli On temple touch thermometer. A review and a giveaway!

The time has come for those nasty seasonal colds and flu bugs. I can personally attest to this as my entire household has passed around a nasty respiratory virus and stomach flu! Though I hate being sick and I hate my angel daughter being sick even moreso the chance at this review could not have come at a better time. Before I share my thoughts on the ReliOn Temple Touch Thermometer here is a little about the product from the ReliOn website :

Taking your child’s temperature is now easy and convenient with the ReliOn Temple Touch thermometer. Simply touch the thermometer to your child’s temple area and get a clinically accurate result in 6 seconds. Totally non invasive and gentle, it can be used even while your child is asleep.

The ReliOn Temple Thermometer utilizes R.A.T.E. Technology that measures the heat radiating from the body and produces a clinically accurate measurement of the core body temperature. Unlike other forehead-type thermometers, the ReliOn Temple Touch Thermometer is unaffected by local ambient conditions, resulting in more accurate readings

I was able to use this thermometer several times on myself and on my 3 year old daughter. When I received the product I was eager to try it and was annoying the heck out of everyone around me just randomly placing this device to their temples before anyone was even sick. I quickly realized how easy it was to use. All you do is place the thermometer to the childs temple and VOILA!

When my daughter came down with the flu bug being passed around this came in handy as she was running a constant fever and sleeping tons bc of not feeling well. Although the product is quick and easy I came to realize that the readings on the thermometer varied quite a bit with each use. I was getting readings that differed as much as 2 degrees when I was using it. I quickly realized that you must be VERY precise on the location you are taking the temperature and be sure you are following the directions to a T.

In the long run I think that for the price this product is a great buy and can be very helpful when used correctly. You can purchase the ReliOn temple thermometer at your local Walmart or SamsClub.

I do have one temple touch thermometer to giveaway to one lucky reader!

So I still haven't saved the world. Yet.

Anyone who has followed my blog for any significant amount of time is aware of the fact that I separated from my husband in December of last year. Well before I got in to the whole schpeel let me give you a quick timeline of the last 9 months of my life mmmk?

December 27,2008-Bill(husband) and I separate.

December 31,2008-First date with Donnie(boyfriend)

January 5,2009-Tell Donnie I still love my husband and I want him back. Bill moves back in.

January 7,2009- WHOA what the fuck was I thinking, I cant be married to this man. Bill moves out. Back together with Donnie

February 28,2009- Donnie and I just aren't working out. Still love my husband, going to give it one more shot.

March 13,2009- Marriage fails once again and Bill moves back out. Back with Donnie.

March 27,2009- Move in to a cozy little home in the city with Donnie and our children.

March-August- Aside from here and there arguments things are seemingly well for Donnie and I.

And that takes us to the present, HOLY SHIT. Wait, are you still here. Take a xanax, It may help with the overwhelming urge you are getting to call the Jerry Springer show right now. ANYWAY, Donnie and I have decided to separate. we are still TOGETHER but we are living separately for right now. We both have some things that we need to work on but we need to work on those things alone, that way when we do eventually move back in together things are far less hectic.

So,yes, now I am living in my parents home that they so graciously opened to Sophia and I and I am thankful to them for that. And lucky YOU, I will be writing SO much more now that I have a WORKING computer. You're jumping for joy, like literally, right now aren't you? Right on.

Oh, and PS. My divorce is final on September 22nd. I expect bottles of Jack Daniels and xanax to arrive at my door as celebratory gifts. Mmmk Thanks.
