It's good for the small humans to play together, and if you aren't in a situation where there are naturally occurring other small humans, you gotta find some way to bring them together. Considering how much judgment there is for every parenting decision every... is it just moms, or do dads get it, too?... mom gets, I can see how much more a mom with a disability would get.
I don't think the A&D ointment is helping my lips. Or maybe the dissolved aspirin is making it worse. I'm not going to the doctor for this. I'll take a razor blade and cut it off first.
WS, that sounds awful. I get the cracked lip corners thing sometimes too but not ever as bad as what you're describing. You already tried B vitamins and antifungal ointment right? What about cold sore ointment? You poor thing, I know that hurts!
I'm taking B-complex, cal-mag-zinc, iron, and I just started L-lysine today. Anti-fungal cream makes the area bleed (I've tried patch tests on other spots on my face, it's not allergy). Carmex and A&D ointment feel good going on, but half an hour later, it hurts again. Home antifungal remedies are hit-or-miss for relief. I have to kill it soon, I can't take much more.
Maybe bleach.
Smonster I'm sure it will be! Oops.
I am packed! I just have to wake up early and remember the things that are charging and shower and get to the airport! Eek!
sj, trust me when I say all moms I have ever known felt completely inadequate. We all second guess our choices. Guilt that we are not doing the best right thing abounds. (I got over it, kinda, for the most part) Anyway, I thought of you this morning when I read this article. Not because it describes your situation very closely at all, but because of the abundance of evidence that early child care benefits everyone. [link]
I am packed!
Whee! We are looking forward to seeing you tonight! (Commence the jealousy, Buffistas) We must be good with pictures. I tend to get caught up in fun having and forget.
Windsparrow, why not go to the doctor if nothing else is working? This sounds terrible.
WS that sounds miserable. I'm sorry.
ltc woke up early and in a bad mood. Send tea.
::pushes tea through intertubes::
I'm no throwing down $250 for no help.
I understand, WindSparrow. I use Dr. Google myself most times and I have hundreds of doctor customers I could call!
Soothing tea sent virtually, sj.
