You haven’t posted in awhile (I imagine that whole mom thing is a bit time consuming) and I was wondering how you are. I realized I don’t have an email address for you since you left facebook. Could you send me a note with a good email address to reach you?

Comment on why must my sinuses do this to me? by didionsmommy

well, i went through two cycles of antibiotics … but i can’t say that the first cycle failed. i think i might’ve been hit with a second cold/infection.

it’s horrible … made worse by the vortex of preschool germs we throw d-man into every tuesday and thursday morning …

btw, i like the idea of surrounding myself with icepacks, valium, and shakes … i’d suffer a sinus infection for that trifecta of goodness!

as i hauled my cookies to the student health center this a.m., i thought i had read a similar tale on les’s blog.

had a head cold since monday. i dragged out the ice bags and turned off the lights at 3:00 p.m. yesterday in response to the worse headache of my life. [even worse than that one i treated at your westwood apartment with an icepack, valium, and a bigg chill shake.] i was crying by 7:00 p.m. today, the doctor says, “yes, it looks like a sinus infection.”

thank you god for giving me crap sinuses, allergies, eczema, and exercise-induced asthma.

p.s., i hope all is well, les.

I’m glad that someone showed some respect. That was totally wrong of the Gap Kids lady. You should definately write and complain… or copy the blog in a complaint letter. I actually had a customer today, give me that attitude. I was thinking, “I am trying everything in my power to help you. Do you want me to fork over my first and only born too????” Some people are miserable and they like it that way. I’m happy you found the D-Man some orange mittens though!

oh, yes. she. did. at the end, i have to laugh at how pathetic the whole scene was. i mean, come on (!!!) we are in poughkeepsie, for crissakes! yet, she was dishing a manhattan-cum-beverly-hills ‘tude … and over what?! toddler mittens?! to be fair, i do have to reiterate the woman at jc penney’s was really awesome. she and i browsed the interwebs from her register computer, looking for mittens through the jcp site … she was kind and helpful and the perfect antidote to the chicka i had just dealt with at gap kids.

Oh no they didn’t! *I was born and raised in the ghetto so I am very graphic in my finger snap and eye roll* I get that at most stores. What the hell ever happened to “CUSTOMER SERVICE”???? I still provide it at my full-time job because it is not my customer’s fault my manager or other employees have pissed me off! Leave it at the door. Wish I was there to witness that one.

Tell that Biatchhh that she’s full of crap and other reputable retailers, both big box and online, keep in stock and have an abundance of cold-weather gear to carry them through the long, winter months. EVEN having some during early Spring that are on clearance. I have LOVED Lands End ever since Sears started carrying them. Their stuff is wonderful. Get their catalog and check out their coats that extend in the arms so that your weed of kid can wear it for 2 seasons!

OMG! that is EXACTLY what i was thinking! it was so lame all around. i understand running out and having to wait for reorder, but i did not get that information from ANY of the stores … the message i got was everything was gone. i strongly suspect that if i delved further into the logic of merchandising at the p-o-k mall, i risked falling into some kafka-heller labyrinth …

This doesn’t make any sense to me. Kids lose mittens. Wouldn’t retail establishments want to capitalize on that by keeping them in stock all winter? Eventually you build up a collection of hats, scarves, mittens and gloves (if you’re smart you weed out the widows frequently or your collection becomes unmanageable) but particularly when kids are small and growing you’re not so likely to have a collection of extras to fall back on when crisis hits and one of the favored mittens is lost. If you can’t buy them what are you supposed to do, steal them from your neighbors?

ha! man, you and steven are peas in a pod … you should hear the ever-evolving lakers roster steven is perpetually cooking up … i was so excited when love was drafted to memphis and was heading there for all of 17 minutes before swapping with oj mayo … memphis meant we would see him play, seeing as we are stuck in eastern conference hell …
