How to stop coughing in minutes!

Someone emailed this to me and I thought I might post this up just in case anyone had a bad cough that might want to try this out to see if it worked. I'm over my flu so I cant even try it out. Let me know if it works!

How to stop cough in 5 minutes!!!

"This is a must try...We have all been kept awake by our own or someone else's cough. Try this and pass it on. The tip and not the cough. ANYTHING is better than antibiotics. Even babies could benefit from this and the parents wouldn't worry about the safety of their child. And of course, it is harmless and free from any type of side-effects. WOW! I was raised, and raised my kids with Vicks. How come I never knew this? I can't wait for my next cough. Amazing!READ IT ALL. It works 100 percent of the time, although the scientists at the Canada Research council (who discovered it) aren't sure why.

Treatment:To stop night time coughing in a child (or an adult, as we found out personally), put Vicks Vapor Rub generously on the bottom of the feet at bedtime and then cover with socks.Even persistent, heavy, deep coughing will stop in about five minutes and stay stopped for many, many hours of relief. This works 100 percent of the time, and is more effective in children than even very strong prescription cough medicines. In addition it is extremely soothing and comforting and they will sleep soundly. I heard the head of the Canada Research Council describe these findings on the part of their scientists when they were investigating the effectiveness and usage of prescription cough medicines in children, as compared to alternative therapies like acupressure. I just happened to tune in to a.m. Radio and picked up this guy talking about why cough medicines in kids often do more harm than good due to the chemical makeup of these strong drugs, so I listened. It was a surprising finding and found to be more effective than prescribed medicines for children at bedtime, and in addition to have a soothing and calming effect on sick children who then went on to sleep soundly.

My wife tried it on herself when she had a very deep constant and persistent cough a few weeks ago, and it worked 100 percent! She said it felt like a warm blanket had enveloped her. The coughing stopped in a few minutes, and believe me this was a deep (incredibly annoying!) every few seconds, uncontrollable cough and she slept cough-free for hours every night she used it. If you have children or grandchildren, pass it on. If you end up sick, try it yourself and you will be absolutely amazed."

It sounds unbelievable but if it works then that would be awesome. No more cough medicine or antibiotics. I'm sure the doctors wont like this idea.

Looking forward to Mother's Day!

So today was my Friday at work which is nice. I will have time to clean the house a little on Friday for our guest. My brother in law is coming to visit before he goes to Iraq for training. He is going to be switching from the Navy to the Army and getting trained in Iraq for 8 months to a year. We will need lots of prayers for him while he is there! Before he leaves he is spending some time with his family so we are so excited to have him come this weekend. I will take lots of pictures and post them up.

We also have a birthday party on Sat that we are attending. My cousin is turning 1 already! How time flies. It's sad that I only get to see him a couple of times because he lives down in LA. Especially with gas being so darn expensive, it's killing us to drive anywhere. We cant wait to see him and see how much he has grown!

And by the way, I am done with my project and cant wait to post it up. I will take a picture of it and try to post it up this weekend. I am really proud of this one because it was my biggest project and it took a long time. So this one means a lot to me. :)

Finally, I am really excited about Sunday for Mother's Day. We will be going to church and then having a BBQ at home. We have invited my mom and dad to come over. I love BBQ's. I just love to have get togethers period because family is really important to me. So this weekend will be a great weekend since I will be with family all weekend long! It's really not even about Mother's Day because I feel like everyday is Mother's Day for me. I just love holidays because it's a time to spend quality time with family members. I even like to cook but not clean up! :)

TTFN!

Ouch!

My friend M at work had a bad tooth ache yesterday and she didn't want to go to her dentist because she said he hurts her too much. So I gave her the number to my dentist, who is the best! He is AWESOME. So she made an appointment for today at 8:15am. She thought it was just a cavity but I told her it sounded like she might need a root canal. She said she would just go to the appointment and come to work after. I had a feeling she would not come in. She called and told us that she ended up getting a root canal and her mouth was all swollen. Poor thing! I felt so bad for her. She was in so much pain and she was scared to go to the dentist. And ended up getting the most painful procedure. I hated it when I got mine done. It was fine during the procedure but as soon as that medication wore off from my mouth, I thought my mouth was going to fall off. The throbbing of my head was like the wall vibrating from loud music. It was hell. So I don't think she will be able to come to work tomorrow. Hope you feel better, M! We sure missed you today. :)

Also my supervisor has been sick too. She must be really sick because she was off for two days. She is rarely sick. She must have gotten that nasty flu that everyone is getting. I think I was the starter. Sorry D! Hope you feel better too. :)

Hope everyone keeps healthy and drink lots of fluids.

Happy Cinco De Mayo!

I'm not Hispanic but I have to say I love Mexican food! So I would like to say, "Happy Cinco De Mayo" to everyone! I think I could seriously eat Mexican food everyday and not get sick of it. My friend M at work is Hispanic and she has given me some really good recipes and I'm sure I'm not even close to making what it's suppose to taste like but I love it anyways. My family loves it too. They are constantly asking me if I got any more new recipes from M at work. Hehee:) So I will have to hit up M for more recipes. I guess that's a hint that they are sick of the same old stuff I make. It's OK because I love to cook and try out new things. It's fun to me. I just hate the clean up part. So my husband and I have this great plan where I cook and he cleans. I love it! When my son gets older, I'm sure that will end up being his job. But for now, my husband is Mr Clean. :) So that's why I don't mind to cook. Muy Bueno!

Adios!

Happy Sunday!

Can anyone tell me what is up with this weather? One day it's crazy hot and the next it's freezing. I'm sorry but my closet only has room for clothes for one season at a time. God, I'm sorry to complain about the weather but seriously how am I suppose to fit the clothes I have for the summer and winter in my small closet? Not possible. I don't even know how to dress anymore because I'm either going to be too hot or too cold. I would rather have it too cold! :) I do love this weather. I think I am going to snuggle up in bed with a good movie and have some hot cocoa. Mmmmmm, that sounds good. :)

My son had his dress rehearsal today at his Musical Theatre class and he did really good. He is going to look so cute in his costume. He will be dressed as Baloo from Jungle Book. I thought the costumes were going to be big and furry but actually they were like a suede material so he wont be sweating in it. His play will be in the end of June. Cant wait! If I can I will try to record the play and post it up here.

Anyways, yesterday we dropped by this railroad fair thing they had going at Fullerton. It was pretty nice. They had part of the train from Disneyland where you could take a picture sitting in it. Then they had small train sets that people built for you to see. They also had them for you to purchase but they were way to expensive. They also had some food vendors there. My son got shaved ice. The boy scouts had a booth there that had $1 tacos with carne asada. They were the bomb! They tasted like the ones you get from a taco stand in Mexico. Boy, do I miss those tacos. I told my husband if I had more money I would have bought the whole tray they had there. :) We had a fun time there.

Better go, my bed is calling me. :)

My Plumeria Plant

I had a few people tell me that they had a hard time looking at the other picture I posted, so here is a better one. You don't have to tilt your head to see it. Hope this ones better :) And it's grown more leaves since the last time I posted the first picture. I cant wait till it grows flowers. I am so tempted to just plant it in the ground. But I bet I would get in trouble since it's an apt and they probably would take it out. :( They say it grows better in the ground so one day when I have a house I will have them everywhere! My co-worker gave me the plant so she would be so proud if she could see it. I haven't killed it, J! :) Hehee! Not yet that is.

Peace and Quiet

I'm at home alone and enjoying the nice weather. It's so quiet. I love it. I got to leave work early today since I worked a little late last night for a community event. Love my job! Oh, and the coolest thing at my job is that we actually are asked to take time off. I have never ever worked at a place that makes you take time off. Isn't that AWESOME? I've been at places that snare at you for taking time when you are sick. Like I said before, I love my job! So I am making dinner so it will be ready when my husband and son get home. And thought I might type a little something here before they get home. I also will be working on my little project that is almost done. Cant wait to see the finish project. Anyhow, not much to talk about. So I will keep it short this time. Later.....
