Oh Boy! Big Boy!



Yesterday was not a good day. I was so stressed out. And Irene has really bad diarrhea. Yuck...yes. She has had it for a week now and it is not going away. Her butt looked, and still looks, like it has been sunburned. And she was in a FOUL mood. So add that to the mix and that the dogs woke the kids up after only a half an hour nap...well the day was shot to hell.

I was suppose to go to Ludington to look at a place. I almost didn't go. But my mom and I packed the kids into the car at 5:30 and went down. It turned out to be a really good night. We stopped for dinner at Big Boy. I had a yummy chocolate shake of which Henry drank a large portion. Irene ate like a trooper! I was so surprised considering her ouchy butt. I was disappointed that the Starbucks in Ludington closed down. I really wanted some coffee but the shake made up for it. Irene fell asleep in the car on the way back home. Thankfully she did go to bed shortly after we got back. Henry was a bit hyper and he was not happy that we missed the vroom vroom show (Top Gear) since he had been talking about it all the way home. "Vroom vroom on, mommy." I managed to go to bed in a fairly decent mood considering how the day started. :-)

Hey Nicole is Irene still have diarrhea? I know what will help. Honestly this works when I first heard of doing this I thought Yuck, how can that work. But it does. Do you have any rice? Not minute rice but regular rice you got to cook for 20 mins. Make some up but add extra water to the rice. When the rice is done, the excess water drain out and add it to her juice or something to drink. I use to do that with my kids and it did miracles.

It sounds gross but I am so willing to give it a try. Thanks Jen!
