Little Vacation...

...so in two days i'm headed to Las Vegas! I'm taking a little blog break but i'll be back soon :)

"Viva Las Vegas!"

Bum...

...so the littlest one has a bum rash. It's weird that when they cut teeth, they get a bum rash. There is no logical or medical reason this happens. My Doc told me many people have researched this and no one has ever found a concrete reason this happens....kinda weird. Anyways, out of the hundreds and thousands of Bum Creams out on the market today, the only thing that works on my little one is Corn Starch. Hard to believe that instead of spending oodles of money on various creams, all i'd have to do it go on the baking cupboard and get a teaspoon or two of Corn Starch. It dries it right out and is usually gone by the next diaper change. Works like magic so don't knock it till you try it. SOunds weird, but gotta trust Grandmere when she says the old remedies work. They usually do.

There's no Diaper Rash or Bum Cream songs to end this post....guess that's a topic most people don't sing about. Maybe we should write one...let's see....

"A little baby cries
and mommy runs to help
Those teeth, you can't deny
confirmed with a rash below the belt

Slap some cream on to ease the pain
and the baby yells some more
those creams are all so lame
so I drive him to the store

I walk to the special aile
and he smiles from ear to ear
he spots it from half a mile
corn starch, i'm gonna smear.

It's like magic, it's unreal
and my boy is just so happy
the bum rash disapeared
and now it's time for a nappy." - Lise Newell, Bum Rash Song

Lobster Funny...

...so someone passed me this joke yesterday...enjoy cause I know I did!

A Newfoundlander is driving down a road in St. John's. A sign in front of a restaurant reads:

HAPPY HOUR SPECIAL
LOBSTER TAIL AND BEER

"Lord tunderin' jaysus'" he says to himself, "me, 3 favorite tings!"

no wonder!....

...so i've been noticing the abundance of police officers around lately. I met them in Arcadia nearly everyday, I saw them hidden in areas to catch speeders over a dozen times and I heard about a few road blocks. I have been watching my speed due to the whole speeding ticket thing a few months ago but I was getting a little concerned with all the police presence. Today, I got some answers. Apparently it was Road Safety Week last week and in today's Vanguard and Chronicle Herald there is some summaries of the police work that was done.

Here's the article from the Vanguard online:
82 charges and 50 warnings issued during Canada Road Safety Week

From May 18 to May 24, members of Western Traffic Services issued 82 charges and 50 warnings throughout the Tri-County area as part of Canada Road Safety Week.

The charges include 21 seat belt tickets and 25 summary offence tickets for aggressive driving. One young driver was traveling at 160 km/h and as a result will be losing his licence. A male will be appearing in court in Yarmouth as a result of an impaired driving charge. Five motorists were charged with driving while disqualified after their driving privileges were revoked from earlier drinking and driving convictions.

Two drivers were charged for driving with no insurance, three for using a hand-held cell phone while driving and four adults were charged under the Smoke Free Places Act when they were observed smoking tobacco in a vehicle with individuals under the age of nineteen years present. Twenty other charges were laid for various offences.

The majority of warnings issued were for violations under the new "Move over Legislation" after motorists failed to slow down to 60 km/h when passing a parked emergency vehicle on the 100 series Highway with it's lights flashing.

Western Traffic Services reminds the motoring public that safe driving is everyone's responsibility. As the summer season approaches motorists must ensure that every passenger in the vehicle is buckled up. Safe driving also includes driving while sober and not being distracted.

Oopsies...

...so my oldest little one wanted to help me get him dressed this morning. I pulled up his big boy underwear and then he got mad at me and wanted to start over and do it without my help. He pulled them up and then he was messing with the back with a weird look on his face. I asked him what he was doing and to that he answered: "Mommy, i'm just trying to get my shit together".

Oopsies!
