Yes, I used half a roll of paper towels last night.  That’s more than I use in a month.  I also used 2 plastic shopping bags and threw away a perfectly good pair of socks.  Yes, this is not my normal behavior, but I did these things for a good reason.

It’s really great when your kids make art projects out of macaroni, but not when they’ve repurposed dinner.  Two kids, two flu bugs and more messes than I can count in one evening.  I’ll spare you the details, but I don’t feel bad about using the supplies and throwing away the socks.  Not sure of a good alternative.  I think I might have also saved the Persian rug from the $200 trip to the cleaners.  Sigh…

I had a funny thing to post about flu shots.  I’ve never gotten them, my kids have never gotten them and generally we’re a pretty healthy family.  This was a nice gift from their dad’s house.  Anyway, I saw this at the pharmacy…

I never thought of giving a flu shot as a gift and I’m quite sure if grandma has the flu, it probably came from the grandkids.
