yes, i’m using my daughter’s nebulizer and her dinosaur mask!
Once I get into the swing of things w/working out, something comes along to deter me and it’s usually some kind of sickies, as I said in a previous post.
This time around? The girls caught some kind of cough/cold..no fevers though so that’s good. However, it got Razz back to using her nebulizer a couple of times and even me. Yes, me. I can’t find my inhaler (never can find it when I need it, but when I don’t need it, I see it everywhere). We almost didn’t go to a holiday party over the weekend, but somehow, we managed to muster up enough energy to go and even looked spiffy for the evening. Sunday, I was having coughing fits and finally used Razz’ nebulizer. I was ok after that and spent my day off on Monday resting and baking w/my girls. Then, this morning, I was up at 5:30am coughing away…for an hour and then I finally nebulized again. I always thought you could outgrow childhood asthma, and I did for years…didn’t expect it to come back though. It is EXHAUSTING to keep coughing! I don’t know what’s worse, sneezing like crazy b/c of allergies or coughing fits…both are exhausting. Did I say it’s exhausting?
This is putting a damper in my 4 week goals…especially the one where I said I would work out 4-6x/wk. Last week, I got in 3 workouts before falling to the coughsies. I am hoping that I will feel better by tonight so we can all go to the gym (thank you child care!). I don’t care if I just walk on the treadmill instead of jog, I need to sweat and work out. I need my cholesterol numbers down by next doctor’s visit and for good!

But, whatever, I just hope they get well soon. Razz has been hospitalized 2x (2009 and 2010) for her asthma and even ended up in PICU back then. I don’t want her back in the hospital. GAH…I hate feeling so helpless when they get sick. Shrimpie is more vibrant and playful today, Razz…just woke up so we’ll see. I’m starting to feel an itch in my throat and I’m just really hoping there’s nothing more in store for me or the rest of our family…
It’s been over 3 years since my first and last attempt at making cake pops/cupcake pops and the likes (pic on left). I made them for Razz’ 2nd Birthday party…Well, 3 years and 2 moves later – out of state nonetheless – I tried again! So, the moves made it inevitable that I would lose one of my molds (or maybe it’s still packed in some box somewhere)…the one that actually makes the cupcake bottom and the only ones I can find are too big, but we didn’t roll our balls out big enough this time around (wait, that sounded weird). Anyway, so we didn’t make cupcake pops this time and just made a few cakepops (the ones on a stick) and the rest as cakepoppers / cake pop bites or whatever you want to call them. Recipe used was by none other than Miss

I also bought this puppy, but ended up not using it because I felt like it was cheating and the instruction manual had a lot of typos. I don’t know why that bothered me so much b/c it’s not like I’m perfect. I guess it’s because it’s a mass produced product and things like that should be looked upon more closely…especially for those who actually need to follow the instructions!
