#%!& Teeth

Zomgoodness I am in such a bad mood. My holiday cheer lasted about 24 hours after Christmas and now I’m full-on Scrooge.  This is primarily due to two reasons. 1) Joshua and Sophie have spent WAAAAY too much time together the past two weeks and are driving each other and me bonkers and 2) Jonah is getting about 16 million teeth in all at one time.  Basically I haven’t slept in about 10 days.  The child is up 3 or 4 times a night and is getting “up for the day” between 6:30-7:00, when I am used to him making it til 7:30 or 8 (after waking between 4-5 usually for a feeding before Toothapalooza began.)

As I have whined about many, many times on this blog, I have sleeping troubles. So getting back to sleep after these wakings is difficult.  And then by the time I get back to sleep it seems he is awake again. My jaws ache from the tension I have when trying, trying, trying so hard to go to sleep.

I have left b!tchy comments on a few people’s Facebook statuses today.  I am just not myself, and I cannot let your status about your future sexcapades go without letting you know that I DON’T WANT TO KNOW.  Whether you are happily married or just whoring around, I DON’T WANT TO KNOW. MMkay?  I mean, I don’t WANT to have to “hide” you but I will.  I’m sorry if my posts about my infant’s blowout poops gross you out, but posting that you just did the nasty on your dining room table is WAY WORSE in my opinion.  But hey, if you can’t handle the poop, feel free to “hide” me as well.  We’ll just have to agree to disagree on what’s grosser.

So yeah. I need some sleep. And my kids to go back to school. And people to GET A FILTER.  Seriously, if your MOM is your FB friend, don’t be posting that!! She doesn’t want to know EITHER!

So, how’s YOUR week going??

A Merry Vicksmas & a Healthy New Year

VicksChristmas

A couple of days before Christmas I got a wonderful care package from my friends at Vicks!  Seriously, like, the motherload:

Score!  It’s nice to have our medicine cabinet so well-stocked for cold and flu season.  Of course, I’m hoping to not catch anything, but if Bobby or I do, we are well prepared.  And we’ve got plenty of VapoRub for us and the big kids now.  Poor Jonah seems to get a cold every couple weeks so his Vicks BabyRub has been getting quite a bit of use as well.

There are lots of great Vicks products to choose from when you’re feeling bad (I’m really intrigued by the new Vicks NatureFusion products – they have natural honey, but no alcohol, and are gluten-free, and dye-free!), but if you’re wondering which one is best for when you come down with a little something, Vicks.com has a great tool to help you find the right Vicks product to help you feel better!  It’s called the Vicks Solution Finder and you can check it out here.  In three easy steps you can choose your symptoms, your age, and what approach you want to take in caring for yourself, and the Solution Finder will tell you which Vicks products will be best for you. It’s really cool, and really fast!

I’m thrilled to continue bringing you the latest from Vicks as a Vicks Blogger in 2012, so stay tuned for more Vicks news and giveaways.  Have a happy and healthy New Year!  And don’t forget to check out Vicks VapoRub on Facebook to send your friends a “Feel Better Friend” virtual care package and get the latest on all things VapoRub.

Giveaway: Motorola Droid Bionic

Jenny & I are wrapping up our time as Verizon Wireless Midwest Moms, but before we go, we have one last giveaway – a Motorola Droid Bionic. And not just any Droid Bionic – the very one I’ve been trying out for the last few months. Goldfish crumbs from the bottom of my purse included! Don’t worry, the Verizon people will wipe away my digital footprint on it, and hopefully my kids’ fingerprints as well.

The Bionic is equipped to handle the Verizon Wireless 4Glte network, which is really noticeably faster than 3G (like, a lot). 4Glte is available in 190 cities and 118 major airports, and it is expanding rapidly. Click here to see if it’s available near you.

A couple things to note about this giveaway – the giveaway is for the phone, not service. The Bionic only works on Verizon Wireless, and it requires a data plan. And, like I said, it’s the one I’ve been playing with so it’s slightly used.

To enter, leave a comment on this post.

The fine print:
One winner will be chosen randomly from entries received by January 2nd, 2012. The winner will be contacted via email and has 24 hours to respond. If winner does not respond within said time a new winner will be selected at random. Winner will need to provide name, email and address for shipment and prize will be shipped out via FedEx. This prize must be shipped to a North American address. NO PURCHASE NECESSARY.

Good luck!
