Hair Oil and the Stress of Parenting

Oy vay what a weekend. Saturday night, after a session of Wii Sports Resort with the husband, I checked on the kid and noticed he was breathing heavily. I took his temperature and it was high which led me to waking him up and trying to get him to sleep in our bed which he did not want at all. He is obsessed with his crib and I guess I understand why, as his mattress is far superior to ours. Sunday morning came and he was not his usual smartass babbling self so I calmly (who am I kidding, I freaked the eff out) suggested we visit the hospital. Turns out he has a bad ear infection and after about an hour we were given the clear as well as a shopping list of drugs. We spent the day at home, force feeding him antibiotics and Ibuprofen and spraying crap up his nose. I have never felt so helpless and and at a loss as I have these past couple of days. I am not a religious person but yet, when the kid was listless and pale, I prayed to every deity in the pack and might have even promised to stop swearing or something ridiculous like that. It ain't easy watching your kid be in pain and I feel for every parent out there that has to go through the same thing. This morning he only wanted to be held and cuddled (when usually he pushes me away as if to say "Bitch, please, I got trucks to play with") and it broke my cold cold heart to have to leave him to go to work. Parenting ain't awesome sometimes.

So that was my weekend and it led to stress eating which led to me waking up at 4:30 in the morning with indigestion and then I painted my nails and then did a little Wii workout and did I mention that my hair is actually looking fabulous (not right now because I left home with wet hair) but in general...



A co-worker started using a hair oil a couple of weeks ago and swore that it has changed her hair. My hair, having been bleached to death, sat up upon hearing this and leaned forward as if to say "tell me more". Stupid follicles. Know your place. So I decided to try it out and after 3 uses, I am noticing a difference. It is Weleda Haar Oel and available around Vienna. You can either massage it in and wait 15-30 minutes and then wash it out, or, if you could care less about greasy pillowcases, leave it in all night. The husband just loves this! I am being sarcastic. He said something like "it's like sleeping with a kebab.". He has a way with words. But anyway, try this stuff out.. I am convinced it works!

A Key Word Post

I didn't have anything specific to post tonight because nothing terribly exciting happened over the weekend. Which is actually a good thing. That means it was a chillaxed weekend with no need to look up divorce lawyers or boarding schools for toddlers. So, that means that I will write things based on some key words... long story short, lots of short stories. So here we go! The daycare: This morning was my morning to bring the Kid. By 8 he was in his coat and shoes and I was in my fake fur vest and heels. We headed out and rounded the corner and walked through the front gate. He jumped out of his stroller and headed to the front door. It was locked. I tried a couple times to open it and the Kid started to whine. One of the providers came to the door and explained the daycare was closed for the day. Apparently it was staff development day and someone (the Husband) did not see the signs up last week that they were closed today. I apologized and tried to call the Husband while tryi...

The Way Some People Find my Blog and a Challenge

Image
Now, I am not sure why people read my blog. O.k., there are some reasons that people read my blog... they are interested in autism, they like my use of gifs, they are my friends and want to support me, sometimes I make them laugh, they want to see if they are mentioned in it, they live in Vienna and want to know where I go so they can avoid bumping into me... I don't have a sophisticated stat counter on my blog. The only thing I can really see is the number of page views, which countries those page views are coming from and what people search for and somehow end up on my blog. So I decided today to post the most common terms that bring people to my page. And some of them are amusing. Pros and cons to living in Vienna : This one is pretty understandable. I did a whole "pros vs. cons" post a while ago. I think if I had to move to a new city I would most likely type in the same thing. As well as, "average price of alcohol". Salma Hayek naked : I have abso...

How to Dress Rich - Old Money

Image
Back in March, the Husband and I enjoyed an amazing night at the Bristol. It was a gift from my parents and probably the most amazing thing about that night was that we got a complimentary upgrade. We laughed, we danced and then I stopped and said in a serious tone to the Husband "It's cause we dressed rich an you know it." And then I danced some more and drank Moet Chandon straight from the bottle. I have class and you know it. Dressing rich is not that hard and doesn't have to cost that much. Now I am not talking about Kardashian rich (that money is the money of Satan), I am talking old school money, country clubs and drinking scotch. Here are some tips to how you can dress to look rich for different occasions (please note that this is in no way making fun of rich people, poor people or any people. This is based on observations on my part and the deep seated desperation of wanting to be a rich WASP from the East Coast. Pick me!). Dressing old school money pretty m...
