Sick
Buddy had H1N1 last week. He tested positive at the clinic, so I know he had it. Now I'm sick and so is Missy. I don't feel terrible, but I don't feel awesome. Missy had a temp of 103.7 yesterday morning. She's feeling a lot better today, but will have to stay home from school tomorrow anyway.

Infant Formula
With the economy being so terrible right now, I feel bad for anyone who has an infant and has to buy formula every week. Even though I never breastfed and only had a baby on formula for a short period of time (my kids were adopted and came home at 10 months and 13 months old), I’ve always been interested in the breastfeeding vs. formula feeding debate.
I recently read an article that shows that it doesn’t really matter what brand of formula you buy – all formula is subject to the same exactly standards of the FDA, so why not buy the cheapest kind? Walmart’s store brand formula
is called Parents Choice Formula. This brand is also sold at other retailers like Sam’s Club, Target, CVS, and several other places. Parent’s Choice Formula is currently on sale at Walmart – a 15.5 oz. can is only $5.00! They even have a special formula for babies with sensitive tummies and that’s on sale for $5.00 too!
I think this information is especially important to know right now, because the article I read stated that there are changes being made in the Women, Infants, and Children program (known as WIC). As of this month, the money given to families is being reallocated and could mean a reduction of up to 20% in infant-formula subsidies. This is scary knowing how many parents rely on the help from WIC to feed their babies. Knowing that there’s an inexpensive option at Walmart could be very important to these families.

Back into it (again)
I must be old school! For some reason I just can't seem to stay on top of blogging! I'd love to come here every day and write about what's on my mind, but for some reason I just can't stay committed to it! Maybe this time I will "stick"!!!
