Right now, I'm really getting tired of being snowed in. Tried to venture out to the mailbox, but decided it wasn't worth a broken limb (besides, I have no idea if the mail was even delivered with this mess).

Right now, my neighbor is STILL trying to get his car back into his garage (different neighbor than yesterday) after pulling part way out this morning and getting stuck. He's been out there off and on all day trying to dig around his tires and find some traction with no luck. Don't know WHAT he was thinking when he tried to pull ot in the first place!

Right now, I'm really, really hoping that this will melt away by Friday at the latest!

Shit! Right now I just let Caleb eat a piece of chocolate that had peanut butter in it. I bought them earlier and I never even checked to see if they had pb. He just got through a whole peice and said it tasted different, so I checked and sure enough, there's the pb. Damn! I swear, I think I'm brain dead today. I've already called the doctor, who reminded me that hives are the worst we've seen with Caleb and I have benadryl, which he suggested giving him, so he'll be ok, I just feel horrible for not paying attention!

Ah,no! Will the benadryl stop the hives from starting?
Right now,You know it's too cold when I went digging through my closet for slippers. I don't own any,so I found a pair of old clothe espadrilles and they are standing in. LOL,I look like a dork!

I don't know if it will stop them from starting, but it will take care of them once they start. The good thing is there isn't much pb in the chocolate, but I'm usually so careful on making sure anything I buy for the kids has no pb. I must have been totally lost this morning when I got them.

Don't be so hard on yourself War. It's so easy to accidentally eat the wrong thing.

I'm allergic to peanuts and all other nuts as well. I can't even eat just a hint of nuts without having a bad reaction. I watch for them all the time, but sometimes they sneak into things. I know how Caleb feels, but he will be fine.

scary story:
my son was deathly allergic to egg whites (albumen). he could not even have his measles, mumps and rubella shot. i even called dr. dean edell about him. i was advised to NEVER take the risk of testing him. just make sure he NEVER, for his ENTIRE LIFE, ate something with egg whites. a nearly impossible job. i was terrified my little guy would die when he went to school and ate something that had egg whites....
but wayyyyyyyyy before he got to school-age, we left him and his baby sister with a young babysitter for 90 minutes while we went to dinner. i very specifically told the sitter how DEATHLY allergic to eggs ds was and he had eaten, etc., but could have a banana or yogurt, etc., for a snack.
when we got home, i saw a 3-musketeers wrapper in the kitchen trash. 3-musketeers bars have whipped egg whites. i asked the babysitter about it. i told her it was very important to tell me if kyle had eaten any of it. she said 'no'. and i told her, 'thank God, because he could die." and then she started crying and said, "well, i just gave him one bite. maybe he didn't eat it." yeah, a 2-year-old didn't eat a bite of candy bar. not in this lifetime. we gave him some of his liquid antidote and rushed him to the hospital. and he had no bad reaction to the egg whites!
2 months later, a doctor asked me to give him half of a hardboiled egg. if he did okay, he could catch up on his MMR shots. well, we had to dye the damn egg and hide it for ds. when he cracked it and took a bite, he said, "yuck! this is what i have been waiting for my whole life?!" okay, he was about 30 months, so it was a short whole life, but still :)......
anyway, because of a babysitter's accident, we found out the 'network' had closed in my son; this network prevents toxins from entering the blood stream. supposedly, ALL people are allergic to eggs, but our built-in 'screen', which usually kicks in before birth, keeps the albumen from entering the blood stream. ds's just hadn't closed up and egg particles could get into his blood stream.
i am so glad he got over his allergy. i would have been a mess hoping he didn't have egg noodles, or any rice or pasta package that has egg whites as thickening agents, etc.
but, if not for a ditzy babysitter sharing a candy bar, we would not have known!
and to this day, he will eat the yolk of a fried egg to dip his toast in, but hates egg whites. i don't think he ever ate a hardboiled egg again:)

Thanks Weiner. Accidents do happen, this one kind of shocked me though since I'm usuaully so careful when buying the kids a treat.

Tabby, we were the same way with Kota and milk products. Someone mistakenly gave her a small glass of milk when she was about 3 and she did ok with it. At that point I got to stop buying the horribly expensive Lactaid milk and started giving her small glasses of real milk. She still can't have awhole lot, but she can have a glass or some in her cereal, and does ok with small portions of cheese.

Right now, I've scrolled up to see if I missed a post from Texannie, but I didn't see one. So Texannie, why do you say you're invisible? Just wondering....

i'm allergic to milk proteins - not lactose intolerant. i can handle very good ice cream (the ones that boil their milk; such as ben&jerry's and haagen dazs) some small pieces of cheese (like on a taco), but drinking milk itself is like a day in bed with intense stomach cramps, and sometimes i've felt like my throat was closing in and couldn't breathe. now i only use coffee mate liquid for cereal, coffee, making ranch dressing, anything that needs milk

Right now, I am just amazed that Max still has all that snow. It really warmed up here today, and almost everything has melted. HUGE difference from yesterday when they closed schools. I am STILL very glad we didn't try to start driving to California today.

Right now, I'm amazed, too, Juju! :)

Right now, I'm enjoying Waldorf salad and a slice of Bisquick ham & cheese impossible pie. Finding creative stuff to do with whatever is in the pantry and fridge is sorta fun. :)

don't go to the mole game, go to 'games' and it will say 'media w#ore, celebrity mole' or whatever and you click on it. someone else on another board i go to mentioned they also could not get in by clicking on celebrity mole 2 itself...
it's too late for tonight, of course, if you didn't get in, but from the number of leagues signed up, you won't be alone in zero points for the first week! just try again for next week.

Right now, I'm back in my hotel room after a few days of work, wining, work, dining, work, work, more wining, work and more schmoozing. Looking out my hotel window, I'd see the "Hollywood" sign if it weren't already dark. In an hour or two, I'm headed out for a dinner, and then to a late-night work function. Exhausting...

Oh, and by the way, I didn't get to meet Goran Visnic today. I only got to ogle him from about 9 feet away, while the press swarmed around him. (and he is more handsome in person than on the telly, let me tell you!)

Texannie, I too want to know what, who, when and why?

Did we ignore you? If so it was definitely not on purpose.

Tell us what is wrong.

Have you been adopted yet? Is that what is wrong?

Texannie, I just checked the adoption thread and you were adopted by Geogirl right?

So, tell us what is wrong.

Right now, I am jealous of Yank! Nine feet away is closer than I have ever been or probably will be!
