The doctor appointment and other things....

Well, it's a good thing I took wee one to the doctor today. Turns out she has an ear infection (her ear didn't hurt), a throat infection (which I suspected) AND pink eye (I noticed her eye was bloodshot this morning but she was sneezing and rubbing so....). So now she is all antibiotic-ed up and ready for school. I think she enjoyed our day together. I picked her up right before lunch and she ate in the car whilst driving to WalMart. We stopped in for a few things I needed and then on to the doc. After that it was to Walgreens for prescriptions....and she tried to con me into an Easter glass, but I didn't fall for it. She had one just like it last year and it broke within a day. We got home just as Betsy was turning on to our street.

I ended up getting my L'Oreal True Match Super Blendable Concealer as well as my Olay Total Effects Eye Transforming Cream. We will see if $27 worth of miracle serum makes a difference. So far so good in the wrinkle department....none yet, but I have a slight shadow under my eyes which is why I wanted these products. My years of lip balm have, so far, kept my lipstick from bleeding....but I'm sure there is a product out there that will help when it comes to that. I probably sound crazy talking about this, but I grew up loving makeup....thanks mostly to my aunt Connie who, to an impressionable 10 year old, was a queen in Cover Girl. I would spend hours in her bathroom sifting through her makeup, trying different things. I still have a "scent flashback" to the late 70's when I smell Final Net hairspray. And let me tell you, that stuff is getting hard to find! (No, I don't use it, I just sniff it! lol). I love makeup....

It's been a quiet night tonight. Wee one is relaxing in front of the tv, Betsy is at work and JB is watching a movie. Earlier Betsy burned the "Walk the Line" soundtrack for my mom and I've been listening to it. It is utterly amazing how Joaquin Phoenix was able to capture the essence of Johnny Cash. AMAZING voice that man has....and his looks aren't bad either! And I give props to Reese Witherspoon....she's got a great voice as well. We are going to watch the movie tomorrow. Betsy got the movie "Waiting" and I have been wanting to see it. I know, I know....gross, mindless humor....but who doesn't love that?

Alrighty....I'm off to check on my little patient. Night....

A few at the fellowship have told me. so yeah it works thugh expensive. I tried olay but liked the avon better and Tracy sells it so it helps her.

Final Net...now THERE is a blast from the past. (LOL I didn't use it, my Mom did, so I guess I qualify as a "sniffer" as well).

Hope everyone is coming around, health-wise. Looks like you've gotten rid of that nasty bug that had hold of you!

You have a nice day tomorrow, and thanks for the peek at your day today.

This is the first time I've replied in your journal, but I've enjoyed reading it for some time now.  I hope your 'wee one' is feeling better soon.  I think my little one might have an ear infection, as well.  She has a doc appt tomorrow morning, then we'll know for sure.   BTW, the smell of 'Final Net' brings back memories of my mother and her '70's hairdos, as well.  hee hee.

My mom used Final Net also!  I can remember the bathroom would have a haze around it when my mom was finished. LOL

Hello

Just had to write in this entry.... am sorry she has pink eye but I thought the kids cant go to school with pink eye because other people can caugh it at least thats what I've been told then my kids get it. I hope it clears up though because it can be painful with antibiotic I should be a few days..Sounds like she had fun with mom yesterday despite the drs visit. I just loved 'Walk the line' we watched it last night it was very good and I loved both Joaquin Phoenisx who looked and sounded just like Johnny Cash and I love Reese Witherspoon (did you know her great great grandfather was one of the men who signed the constutuite,thats cool).
They both did a great job and I hope they get awards for the work. I wanna rent The Ice Harvest and The Visitation but both gone every day I cant hook one :(
well I will end here. Have a good day take care    Sara

My 19 month old just got over YET another ear infection!!  Uughhh.... he is forever getting ear infections!!  I love the Olay Total Effects!!    Just reading this entry put my senses into overdrive... as I sat here reading... I could smell Cover Girl make up and.... Final Net hairspray!!  WOW!!  
I love those smells!!!  
I LOVE Joaquin Phoenix but I loved his brother, River, even more.   When I was in middle school I had the biggest crush on River Phoenix.  I swore I was going to track him down and marry him.!!!  LOL!!!
Sadly, River Phoenix died many years ago!!  :(
Hugs,

I noticed a crows foot on  my left eye this morning. I pilled so much cream on that sucker. It better just be from a temporary swelling or somebody is gonna pay.
