2 thumbs & a dummy

The poor darlings are down with runny noses. Poor little things! I don’t know what’s caused them coz they weather has been alright recently and it’s not as if they’ve been playing in the rain. However, the only thing that could have possibly brought it on with Arianna being the first to get it, is that the air cooler in her room is sort of on her, although no directly. I’ve got it oscillating to ensure that it doesn’t hit her but who knows, must be one of those things, you know?

And without a doubt, when 1 kid is sick, the other one would sick catch the bug as well. Normally I would be the next one in line since I would be handling them directly but with me at work, Ted is doing quite well by not catching the bug. *choi choi choi* As for me, I felt an itchy nose and a slight headache coming on yesterday but it was gone in the morning. But now….I’m getting it again. So I will have to dose up on the Vit C + Horseradish + Garlic pills Ted bought eons ago. I tell you, the moment I popped the lid a couple of night ago, the garlic pong nearly knocked me off my feet. Thank goodness you don’t really TASTE it. Although when you do burp, you get a slight after taste which is terribly blek! But as with anything that is good for you, they don’t normally taste good.

I was just reminiscing about the times when we were growing up and how Mummy used to dose us with all those Chinese herbs. I practically grew up on them coz of my ‘bad blood’. Apparently it was this that caused my severe acne issues and I’ve had dozens of herbal soups that was supposed to help with the acne. And I also have to add that my mum was always on the looks out for the best acne treatment she could see or find out about.

However, I can’t say for sure if they really worked. I think faith also played a part in it all. With my girls, they haven’t had the privilege to try them out as I don’t know where to get the herbs and if I did know where to get them, I think it will cost a bomb and if I screw it up cooking it for them, then it won’t work. So I’ll most likely get them dosed up real good when we head back to Malaysia where Mum will know what to get them. I think I’ll most likely get those which will help boost their immune system.

Gee, I really hope that it’s not coz I stopped breastfeeding KR at 8 months is the reason why she’s got the bug so quickly. That would suck big time on my part….. =.=
