the wiener mom really really hates boogers. (again)

Snot, snot, snot. I am so damn tired of snot. If it's not one wiener than it's another. Wiping noses has become a new hobby of mine. I am currently wiping noses more than I am wiping asses, so that's really saying something. Little wiener has a cold and so that means that he has trouble drinking which makes him crabby, which makes me crabby. I wish I had trouble drinking, ha ha. Little wiener mom attempt at humor there. Stop and chuckle if you must.

Ready? The worst part of it is that little wiener can't blow his nose, so our only option is to pin him down and suck the boogers out with the booger vacuum. Oh, he hates that. It is akin to branding a cow that knows what's coming. As soon as we pull it out and one of us grabs his head, the thrashing commences!

Add to this the fact that middle wiener has re-come down with a sinus infection. Truth be told, I think it's the same sinus infection he's had since November and the antibiotics aren't cutting it, but Dr. wants to try them again. Guess what? They taste awful. We had it flavored, but I tried it and it is indeed awful, or "minty" as middle wiener calls it. That's his way of saying spicy. It doesn't actually taste like pepperoni or jalapeno, but cherry. So now besides the green bubbles of snot coming out of his nose and chasing him down with tissues so he can "blow like a good boy" we have to force feed him augmentin.

I have to say as annoying as wiping noses is, it still doesn't annoy me as much as persistent cough or the unending throat clearing of 2006 (before big wiener got his tonsils out). When the cough starts and continues every minute of every hour for days on end, I really want to run away. Just leave, that or wear ear plugs all the time. Neither of those is an option, so I'll just have to go to my happy place... Target. Literally. I can ignore it in a retail like environment. While I'm there I'll check out the earplugs.
