TO all the mommy’s out here here’s some few pointers for you to be able to get the most on mothers day..
1. Strategize. So often, mother’s day is about all the other moms in your life, and you get lost in the shuffle. Do a little forward thinking about how you would like to spend your time. Getting massage, sitting by yourself in Starbucks with a stack of your favorite mugs, or having brunch with the family followed by an afternoon in bed catching up on the lost episode of your favorite movie.
2. Relax. There’s nothing wrong with wanting time away from your baby. In fact you need it. “So much is demanded of a new mom that its critical that her own needs be met so she can keep herself mentally and physically strong for the baby.” Says Linda caters, Ph. D., Director of the Family studies program at NYU Child Study Center.
3. Share. Men aren’t mind readers (surprise!). be direct and tell your significant other exactly what you’d like to do. Plus, starting a dialogue with your partner about both of your needs can only benefit you in the long run Who knows—you might also get a little downtime on a few of the other 364 days a year,,

Alternative meds?
I got this from a good friend name Vicky D., and i just thought of sharing this to you because i find this really useful and interesting, hey if this stuff really works why not...
Kills fleas instantly... Dawn dishwashing Liquid does the trick. Add a few drops to your dog's bath and shampoo the animal thoroughly. Rinse well to avoid skin irritations. Good-bye fleas.
Rainy day cure for dog odor: Next time your dog comes in from the rain, simply wipe down the animal with Bounce or any dryer sheet, instantly making your dog smell springtime fresh.
Did you know that Colgate Toothpaste makes an excellent salve for burns?
Before you head to the drugstore for a high-priced inhaler filled with mysterious chemicals, try chewing on a couple of curiously strong Altoids peppermints. They'll clear up your stuffed nose.
Achy muscles from a bout of the flu? Mix 1 tablespoon horseradish in 1 cup of olive oil. Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes, then apply it as a massage oil for instant relief for aching muscles.
Sore throat? Just mix 1/4 cup of vinegar with 1/4 cup of honey and take 1 tablespoon six times a day. The vinegar kills the bacteria.
Cure urinary tract infections with Alka-Seltzer. Just dissolve two tablets in a glass of water and drink it at the onset of the symptoms. Alka-Seltzer begins eliminating urinary tract infections almost instantly-even though the product was never been advertised for this use.
Listerine therapy for toenail fungus: Get rid of unsightly toenail fungus by soaking your toes in Listerine M outhwash. The powerful antiseptic leaves your toenails looking healthy again.
Easy eyeglass protection... to prevent the screws in eyeglasses from loosening, apply a small drop of Maybelline Crystal Clear Nail Polish to the threads of the screws before tightening them.
Smart splinter remover: Just pour a drop of Elmer's Glue-All over the splinter, let dry, and peel the dried glue off the skin. The splinter sticks to the dried glue.
Hunt's Tomato Paste boil cure... cover the boil with Hunt's Tomato Paste as a compress. The acids from the tomatoes soothe the pain and bring the boil to a head.

BABY'S EYES
What every paren needs to know to keep those little tots healthy....
CLOGGED TEAR DUCT:
What it is- Just like it soudns, the tiny ducts that drain your baby's tears becomes blocked.
What it looks like - During the day, his eyes may seem excessively goopy; you'll also notice a yellow discharde, or pus, from the corner of the eye. When he wokes up, his eyes lids may even be stuck together (thick of an extreme form of sleep crust)
How to treat it -- Apply a warm compress to the inner corner of the eyes and massage gently in a semicircle towards the nose, five to ten strokes at least six times a day. (you might have luck doin this while he's asleep or distracted by a feeding) If you dont see any improvement within three days, call your doctor. He may prescribe an antibacterial ointment or drops to prevent the infection from getting worse untill the duct opens on its own..
CONJUNCTIVITIS
What it is- Commonly known as pinkeye (sore eyes, piskat) conjunctivitis is a contagious bacterial infection that causes an inflammation of the thin, transparent covering of the eye.
What it looks like - The white of one or both of your tot's eyes will appear very red; he may also have draining pus and/or crust.
How to treat it - Your doc will prescribe antibiotic drops or ointment that you apply to the inside of the lower kids. Keep your baby home from daycare for the first 24hours of treatment; when he's extremely contagious; to minimize the spread at home, wash your hands frequently, avoid sharing towels or washcloths, and try not to touch your own eyes...

> Latest Drug in Middle School - Dusting 'Dusting'

> First, I'm going to tell you a little about me and my family. My name is Jeff. I am a Police Officer for a city which is known nationwide for its crime rate. We have a lot of gangs and drugs. At one point we were # 2 in the nation in homicides per capita. I also have a police K-9 named Thor. He was certified in drugs and general duty. He retired at 3 years old because he was shot in the line of duty. He lives with us now and I still train with him because he likes it. I always liked the fact that there was no way to bring drugs into my house. Thor wouldn't allow it. He would tell on you. The reason I say this is so you understand that I know about drugs.
>
> I have taught in schools about drugs. My wife asks all our kids at least once a week if they used any drugs.
>
> I like building computers occasionally and started building a new one in February 2005. I also was working on some of my older computers. They were full of dust so on one of my trips to the computer store I bought a 3 pack of DUST OFF. Dust Off is a can of compressed air to blow dust off a computer. A few weeks later when I went to use one of them they were all used. I talked to my kids and my two sons both said they had used them on their computer and messing around with them. I yelled at them for wasting the 10 dollars I paid for them.
>
> On February 28 I went back to the computer store. They didn't have the 3 pack which I had bought on sale so I bought a single jumbo can of Dust Off. I went home and set it down beside my computer.
>
> On March 1st, I left for work at 10 PM. Just before midnight my wife went down and kissed Kyle goodnight. At 5:30 am the next morning Kathy went downstairs to wake Kyle up for school, before she left for work. He was propped up in bed with his legs crossed and his head leaning over. She called to him a few times to get up. He didn't move. He would sometimes tease her like this and pretend he fell back asleep. He was never easy to get up. She went in and shook his arm. He fell over. He was pale white and had the straw from the Dust Off can coming out of his mouth. He had the new can of Dust Off in his hands. Kyle was dead.
>
> I am a police officer and I had never heard of this. My wife is a nurse and she had never heard of this. We later found out from the coroner, after the autopsy, that only the propellant from the can of Dust off was in his system. No other drugs. Kyle had died between midnight and 1 AM.
>
> I found out that using Dust Off is being done mostly by kid's ages 9 through 15. They even have a name for it. It's called dusting, a take off from the Dust Off name. It gives them a slight high for about 10 seconds. It makes them dizzy. A boy who lives down the street from us showed Kyle how to do this about a month before. Kyle showed his best friend. Told him it was cool and it couldn't hurt you. It's just compressed air. It can't hurt you. His best friend said so.
>
> Kyle was wrong. It's not just compressed air. It also contains a propellant called R2. It's a refrigerant like what is used in your refrigerator. It is a heavy gas, heavier than air. When you inhale it, it fills your lungs and keeps the good air, with oxygen, out. That's why you feel dizzy, buzzed. It decreases the oxygen to your brain, to your heart. IT KILLS YOU.
>
> The horrible part about this is there is no warning. There is no level that kills you. It's not cumulative or an overdose; it can just go randomly, terribly wrong. IT'S NOT AN OVERDOSE . You don't die later. Or not feel good and say I've had too much. You usually die as you're breathing it in, if not you die within 2 seconds of finishing "the hit." That's why the straw was still in Kyle's mouth when he died. Why his eyes were still open. The experts want to call this huffing. The kids don't believe its huffing. And that's why it's more accepted. There is no chemical reaction, no strong odor. It doesn't follow the huffing signals. Kyle complained a few days before he died of his tongue hurting. It probably did. The propellant causes frostbite, if I had only known.
>
> It's easy to say hey, it's my life and I'll do what I want . But it isn't. Others are always affected. This has forever changed our family's life. I have a hole in my heart and soul that can never be fixed. The pain is so immense I can't describe it. There's nowhere to run from it. I cry all the time and I don't ever cry. I do what I'm supposed to do but I don't really care. My kids are messed up. One won't talk about it. The other will only sleep in our room at night. And my wife, I can't even describe how bad she is taking this. I thought we were safe because of Thor. I thought we were safe because we knew about drugs and talked to our kids about them.
>
> After Kyle died another story came out. A probation Officer went to the school system next to ours to speak with a student. While there he found a student using Dust Off in the bathroom. This student told him about another student who also had some in his locker. This is a rather affluent school system. They will tell you they don't have a drug problem there. They don't even have a dare or plus program there. So rather than tell everyone about this "new" way of getting high they found, they hid it. The probation officer told the media after Kyle's death and they, the school, then admitted to it. I know that if they would have told the media and I had heard, it wouldn't have been in my house.
>
> We need to get this out of our homes and school computer labs. Using Dust Off isn't new and some "professionals" do know about. It just isn't talked about much, except by the kids. They all seem to know about it. April 2 nd will be 1 month since Kyle died, April 5th would have been his 15th birthday. And every weekday I catch myself sitting on the living room couch at 2:30 in the afternoon and waiting to see him get off the bus.
