Hershey’s Better Basket Blog Hop
Hershey's is giving back to the community this Easter season by making a donation to The Children's Miracle Network. For each of these blog posts giving virtual baskets to our friends, Hershey's will donate $10 up to $5,000. Let's help them reach that goal.
I'm going to hit up some of my fellow milspouses for this one. I think they all deserve an Easter basket of their own, even if virtual. Hey ladies, at least these ones won't tempt you with goodies you may be avoiding right now, right?

Kids Are NOT Being Kids
Have you heard the phrase "Kids will be kids," from your child's school? Has it made you want to smack some sense into someone? I just read for the second time this month about a child being bullied at school. I'm tired of these schools saying they have a zero tolerance policy, and yet if you say something about your child being bullied, it's "kids being kids." Which is it? Do you have zero tolerance, or do you want zero responsibility?
EVERY year since my son started school he has been seen by his peers as different and has subsequently been ...
A Need for Dye Free Medications
Thank you McNeil Corp. You screwed me. I love you for that. Can you feel the love in the form of my cursing your existence and Motrin recall? Your junior strength Motrin in the orange flavor is the ONLY chewable tablet OTC pain reliever I've found for my son that does NOT contain red dye. Even the generics use red+yellow dye to make orange. Now due to your massive recall, we're Motrinless.
Sure you have your dye free liquid, but two things. One, have you seen how thick that liquid is? It makes me gag just looking at it. And second, ...
Army Fun Facts

-We ALL pay for our dental health coverage. Even soldiers. We pay soldier only, or it's based on soldier and number of dependents up to a certain number. After that cut off number it's the same premium no matter how many kids you have.
-The dental coverage really isn't bad.
-Tricare, our health care system, is good IF you ONLY need routine care.
-You may or may not know ...

I work in the schools and it’s amazing to see how many kids are sent to school with a fever and other symptoms that indicate “stay away!” I know a lot of parents just send their kids with Tylenol because it’s hard for them to take off work, but then the Tylenol wears off, and there they are in the nurse’s office.
I know parents who do that too. It’s such a shame because all the kids really want to do when they’re sick is stay home in bed. I err on the side of caution, so I always feel terrible when I get that call to go pick up my child. I don’t see the sense in sending a sick kid if there’s visible symptoms I can see because all he’s going to do is spread it to the other kids and possibly end up with whatever the cootie du jour is again.
I really hope you’re feeling better! That’s just awful! I’m so glad your hubby was able to help out though.
We had a bug last week, and I thought we were almost over it. But it returned on Friday, so it looks like mine will me missing school again. I’m so tired of flu season!
I don’t think there is anything that sucks worse. Last Valentines day I had the most horrible stomach bug! I’m glad you are better!
