We have had so much sickness in our house it is about to drive me crazy. Parker was sick, I was sick while my mom was visiting and then my mom got sick. Benjamin and Timothy have had a cold the last few days and now I have it. The winner for being sickest this month has to go to Ray, he has had something that starts with dia and ends with rrhea! I'm sure he isn't going to be happy that I said this on a public blog, but if it were me, he would have posted it on facebook I'm sure you all are all aware if the "i just pooped" status updates Ray used to put on my page

Okay I said all that about everyone being sick to say that I went to the pharmacy this morning to get cold medicine for me. I had it all worked out, how I was going to act out what I needed. There are two pharmacists that work there, one who speaks english and one who doesn't. I just knew I would get the one who didn't speak English. Well I was surprised and happy to find the English speaker. I told her what was wrong and she gave me 1 box of bills and then went on the tell me I needed something else too, something homeopathic! No amount of me telling her I didn't need anything else was going to change her mind. In fact she was so insistent on me leaving with something homeopathic that she keep showing me different ones to choice from. In the end I did leave with something that I have no idea what it is....here is my medicine....

The homeopathic ones are the ones on top. They didn't even come in a box. She just gave that to me, and told me to chew one up every hour. As you can see I am real concerned about what it is, I have already taken 5 of them. I just figured when in Rome...or Romania in my case...do as they do! The other medicine I found out later is a cold and flu one!

I also had a very troubling conversation today with Ray. It was something that I was so shocked by that if I could have taken a picture of my face during this talk it would have looked like this....



This is a reenactment picture of the shock and disbelief I was feeling that Lizzie took for me! Okay so back to the conversation with Ray. We were driving to a doctors appointment and we were talking about how different he and I write. I write how I talk and he writes and sounds very smart and all that jazz. Okay so he said something that has forever changed my life....we were talking about different t.v. shows that had bad writing, where things just didn't sound right and then he said..."Like when I used to watch Dawson's Creek or The Gilmore Girls" What....you watched Dawsons creek and Gilmore Girls...I really thought I knew Ray, know I am wondering what else I don't know....like what soap operas does he like and which commercial make him cry.

I will leave it alone, but it is just a surprise is all. So I said we were driving to a doctors appointment during all of this. We had to take Lizzie to have a electrocardiograph (that is a big word...it was like an ultrasound!) to see what was up with the heart murmur we just found out that she has. It turns out that she is fine. It is something called a functioning murmur. That is the best we could understand from the doctor who is Romanian! So here is a picture of the picture we got of Lizzie's functioning murmur and also a picture of her waiting for the doctor.




It was a pretty good day! I wonder how tomorrow is going to turn out!

  1. Becky, I'm pretty sure (not 100%, though) that the nurofen is ibuprophen...you can get it here too.
