Walgreens Run

Even though we were sick I had to get the boys out to the store. We ran to Walgreens for a few cold and flu essentials. I ran in to a few great deals while I was there. Walgreens is offering $2.00 off Nutripals Bars or Nutripals Drinks with an EasySaver catalog coupon. I also had a $2.00 off coupon for Nutripals Bars or Nutripals Drinks, I combined the two coupons, and saved $4.00 🙂 The regular price for the Nutriapals Drinks (at our store) was $5.99 using the 2 coupons I only paid $1.99!

I also picked up a Walgreens Warm Steam Vaporizer for the kid’s room. It was $12.99, and has a rebate in the EasySaver Catalog for $5.00, not a bad deal at all. Also in the EasySaver catalog there are several offers  for $10.00 off Space Heaters (various brands),  I’m sending  hubby to see which ones we should get.

Hey Mom I’m Up!

Last night was another long night, James was up rocking a screaming Dylan until midnight, and I continued well past 1:00 a.m. Finally Dylan fell asleep for just a little bit, but woke up at 3:00 a.m. to eat. He wasn’t the only one, I could hear Thade yelling “hey mom I’m up”. Once Dylan was all finished nursing, I went in to check on Thade, and I got him back to sleep too.

Thade was up and ready to go at 7:00 a.m., but mommy wasn’t. I woke up sneezing, coughing, and with two very swollen tonsils. I finally caught the cold that I was trying to avoid. Great 🙁  I decided to check my symptoms online, and home remedies too. I love the first remedy: rest as much as possible, I don’t think that one is going to happen any time soon 😉

I’ve put a call in to the Doctor on call, as our family Physician is off today. I’m waiting to see if I should bring the kiddos in, or not. I know that most of the children’s cold medicines have been pulled from the shelves, and with me nursing I don’t know what is safe to take. It sounds like it is going to be chicken and noodle soup for me, but rest I don’t think so.

Any advice to get me and the kiddos back to normal? Do you have a homemade remedy that helps out during the cold and flu season?
