Thursday Thirteen

I just got this idea from Angie at And Then We Bought a Farm ... It's another meme of some sort. The details are on her blog.

1. Thanks to everyone who left advice about the diaper rash.
2. I kept Robey home today because he's had diarrhea for a full week. And the diaper rash, which was getting better, is now getting worse.
3. For some reason, I don't like using that D-word in print, so I will henceforth refer to it as cha-cha-cha, in honor of a little toddler man Jen once knew who used to run around the house saying, "Diarrhea, cha, cha, cha." (Oops. I just typed it again. Last time. I promise).
4. I called the doc's office today, and he called in a prescription for nystatin (sp?) for the rash. For the cha-cha-cha, Robey's drinking pedialyte and not drinking milk. We're also trying the BRAT diet, recommended by the nurse and referred to recently in another blog.
5. I recently switched Robey from whole milk to 2%. I wonder if that could be causing the cha-cha-cha?
6. I think I'm done talking about cha-cha-cha for now. Believe me, I could go on. But I know you don't want to hear the details.
7. Robey was very good at home today. He mostly watched TV while I worked. He belly laughs at Boo-bah (sp?).
8. I just wrote the following in an e-mail to a co-worker who sarcastically pegged me as a member of the wired generation: "Dude, I'm over 30. I typed my high school papers with a typewriter and my college papers with a Brother word processor. I only just got my first very own cell phone two months ago."
9. We usually order pizza for dinner on Wednesday nights, but I made a favorite dish last night instead: scallops with mushrooms and beer sauce.
10. Like I said, it's usually a favorite, but last night I tried to double the recipe and did something wrong. It ended up tasting like oddly textured beer over rice. We should have ordered pizza.
11. One of the ingredients is beer slurry.
12. My mom left today for a week in Savannah with friends. It's one of my very favorite places to visit, and it's been five years since I was last there, so I'm very jealous.
13. I've never had a bad meal in Savannah. I sent my mom an e-mail recommending the following restaurants:

• Moon River Brewery - lots of good brews and awesome appetizers.
• Churchill's Pub - good local pub for a beer (instead of all the tourist traps).
• Nita's Place - little dive, awesome soul food.
• Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room - family style dining. Usually has a long wait but worth it.
• The Tapas - order small plates of appetizers at $5-7 ea. and share them around the table.

I was raised 100 miles north of Savannah. Every high school kid in driving distance spent years hanging out in Savannah. I miss Georgia and everything about my home state.

Your mom should go eat at Paula Deen's place.

Thanks for playing.

Poor Robey. I bet he's tired of showing you his derriere! Wish I had a cure for him. Hey, I do have a Cure All, but he's probably too young. I'm not sure how bananas will help -- they always make me go potty. HA!
I would always opt for pizza since I don't like mushrooms, scallops or beer, where did you ever get that recipe?

If the niastatin doesn't work, you may need antibiotics. Yeasts infections are usually red & the skin looks "thin". Not that I am an expert, just went through this a couple of times...

BTW - don't stress about potty training, it makes it worse!
