Random thoughts from another rainstorm kind of day...
Today has not gone as planned... I took my 11 month old to the DR this morning, exactly 2 weeks after our last visit, for another ear infection. Errr. So tired of this. I've been doing a lot of reading on the subject. Chiropractic care/dairy or wheat allergies/common colds/age/antibiotic or no antibiotic/herbs/garlic/homeopathic... Really, what is the cause and what is the best treatment?
Recently I was asked by my daughter while driving down the highway,
'Mom whose cows are those?'
me 'Mr Bob's'
her 'oh ok'
I really have no clue.
Why does she care anyway?
Yes, it is official, we have 5 seasons in the Midwest; Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring, and Monsoon. We currently are in Monsoon Season. Hopefully June 21st will bring Summer!'Mom whose cows are those?'
me 'Mr Bob's'
her 'oh ok'

I hate when I say things I shouldn't. Did that this week in front of my child.
Why do some people always have to be right? I had a lloonngg conversation and in the end, everything I said was wrong and everything this person said was right. My husband says it's better just to eat crow and suck it up. Oh, that is so hard at times!
My second oldest child is going off to over night camp on Monday. He is SO excited. I am not sure how I'll handle it. I'm sure he'll do fine.
I'm going to make bread this afternoon, sounds like the best thing to do in the rain. Hopefully the skies will clear enough for a baseball game.

Don't forget to remember your Father this Sunday.
Tell him you love him, and even if he hasn't been the best daddy, tell him one thing he's done that has meant a lot to you. You'll make his day!

Yes, you are right - I live in the midwest and yes, it's monsoon season alright!
I also hate when I say things I shouldn't - in front of my children.
Have a great weekend - hopefully the rain will stop soon! :)

I'm glad we're not the only people in monsoon season. If we get anymore rain, my kids clubhouse will be refurnished as he ARK.
Eating crow sucks! However, I seem to eat a lot of it.
I'm here in monsoon season too!!
It makes me feel better to know other people are getting rained out this year, too. I am so over the rain and the bazillion mosquitoes that bite me when I take the dog out. I am not exaggerating. I counted. :P
Annika, my daughter, Alannah, had constant ear infections when she was young too. A gal at church, a mother of 7, said she never put her children on antibiotics when they had ear infections, she simply took them to the chiropractor. So I started that with Alannah and she has never had a full fledged ear infection since. If I see to it that she sees the chiro on a monthly or bi-monthly basis her body never has a chance to develop an ear infection. In the beginning she had to see the chiro about once a week for a month and then after that about twice a month for a couple of months. This was simply to train her body to be in the correct positions, but with each child or person I am sure that time would be different. I HIGHLY recommend the chiro for children and actually for total wellness. We go on a regular basis to maintain total wellness. The key is to go to a chiro that is trained and used to working with babies and young children.
Alannah has not been to a regular medical doctor in 4.5 years. We have found that with regular chiropractic care a regular medical doctor is not needed.
If you have any more questions or want a chiro recommendation, feel free to ask.
Blessings,
Holly
