soup

why... when someone says they feel like vomiting... does someone see fit to not just say the word 'soup' out loud, but actually suggest that person have some to make them feel better?????? flu - yes i get that, soup could possibly help. but soup looks like vomit :| what in the world makes anyone think that the nauseous person would want to eat the very thing they are about to throw up??? urgh!

oriental trading company is my nemesis. i always mean to order things but then i never do and when i finally decide i do want to order, there is no free shipping. and can i pay for shipping - ever? never. i don't pay for shipping :| so now i have to wait. and then i won't order and the whole cycle will start all over again :|

i think this video has caused mental anguish to my child. Danny used to love to go and watch the trains at the station but today not so much... he sat on the bench clutching my hand and wouldn't go near the edge of the platform. hmm. i remember the nice teachers at my school showing a similar video about being run over by a train when i was Danny's age - to this day i have an irrational fear of railroad crossings and standing anywhere near the yellow line even when a train ISN'T coming... but in their defense, i've never been run over by a train. so i don't know if mental scars are better than physical scars. i need to go on Dr Phil (who i am sure will figuratively throw me under the bus)

off to school! back later xo
