Hello! I'm Jenn, and this is my blog. I'm 25 years old, I'm a wife, lover, mother, friend, freelance writer, blogger, photographer, and so much 
I’m on day four of medicine, and I don’t feel any better. Worth mentioning: day 1 was a double-dose of antibiotics.
Since I have pneumonia, I can’t get my stricture fixed, so I’m still throwing up left, right, and center. Note to self: stay away from ground beef. That is the worst thing to vomit. It’s so gritty and textured, and bits of it cling to my throat, which makes me gag and heave more.
Day 10 of the Random Wannabe Period… too heavy to be classified as spotting, yet it’s not quite heavy enough to be considered an actual period.
The only thing these meds seem to have done is set my nose to ON. I’m going through tissues like there’s no tomorrow!
And the contents of the medicine cabinet continue to deplete…
Argh.

When I first learned how to do laundry, I used Tide detergent only, since that’s what my mother used. But eventually different scents and cheaper prices enticed me into trying several other brands. These days, I’m careful to choose laundry detergents that are compatible with my high efficiency washer, but I’m willing to try different brands and scents.
I recently received a pack of Purex 3-in-1 laundry sheets to try out. The Purex 3-in-1 Laundry Sheet features laundry detergent, fabric softener and anti-static in one convenient sheet that is no bigger than a dryer sheet! It’s available in spring oasis, tropical escape, and pure & clean. I received spring oasis, which smells clean and fragrant, but I also picked up a pack of Purex 3-in-1 sheets in the tropical escape scent, which is absolutely delightful. Simply toss a sheet in with a load of laundry, then transfer it with cleaned laundry for drying, and you’re good to go! No measuring of separate detergents required.
My thoughts on Purex 3-in-1 laundry sheets? I love them. When it comes to doing laundry, I can’t think of a more convenient way to load my washer with detergent and fabric softener. It can be inconvenient to measure out everything separately, and I am guilty of sometimes forgetting fabric softener, or even the detergent, and then having to waste water and electricity by re-doing the load correctly.
Also, Alyssa loves to help me with laundry, and I find Purex 3-in-1 sheets to be the perfect solution. I don’t have to worry about her wanting to measure out detergent and fabric softener and putting it in a dispenser that is shoulder height for me. Instead, I can just hand her a Purex sheet, and she can toss it right in with the clothes!
Purex 3-in-1 sheets clean my laundry perfectly. I’ve used them with regular clothes, the kids’ play clothes, Ryan’s cloth diapers, sheets, towels, etc., and everything comes out clean, soft, free of static and nice smelling.
But hey, don’t take my word for it. Try out Purex 3-in-1 yourself by requesting a free sample!
Today Dan and I suited the kids up to venture out into Snowmageddon. I only planned on staying out for just a few minutes, since cold weather & pneumonia typically aren’t a good mix, but I did grab my camera on the way out the door. And holy crap, I’m glad I did. You just don’t SEE snow in such huge amounts normally, so I’m glad I nabbed proof of the eight and ten foot drifts and general thigh- and waist-high snow accumulations. Of course, wading through waist-high snow wasn’t a pleasant experience. I scurried indoors quickly enough, and whipped up the perfect lunch for a cold, snowy day: semi-homemade chicken noodle soup and grilled cheese sandwiches.
Between last weekend’s storm and the new stuff, the total accumulations are nearing the four foot mark! Highways were shut down, and the school district is closed tomorrow — for the third day in a row. Our school district usually waits until the last minute to declare a 1-hour delay, while every other district in the area has a 2-hour delay or is already closed, so the fact that for two days in a row now they have put in the closed notification for the next day is somewhat impressive.
The snow kept Dan home on Wednesday, and he had off today since today was the day I would have had my stricture fixed, and I’m so glad he’s been around. The weekend was rough to get through when he was at work, and on Sunday night I was so sick and miserable and desperate to go to bed (but couldn’t because he was at work and the kids were still up) that I was near tears when I called to find out when he would be home. So anyway, he has been home since Tuesday, and has been doing extra around the house and with the kids so I can rest. I have oral antibiotics, an inhaler, OTC cold meds and a cool mist humidifier that I have been running constantly, but I still feel tired, light-headed and constantly out of breath. The chest tightness and inability to catch my breath came on out of nowhere on Tuesday morning, and it has hung on with a vengeance ever since. *sigh*
I’ve spent the time catching up on TV shows, napping (a lot, blah), doing work here and there (speaking of which, I just finished up a project for a client that has been driving me freaking crazy for a few weeks now. Er, the project, not the client. She’s great! The project? Not so much. A seemingly simple task turned out to be incredibly frustrating and complex to figure out!), and catching up on blogs. Speaking of blogs, I have blogging of my own to catch up on, and I’ve been tossing around ideas for a dark theme for several weeks now… I’m hoping to get to that this week.
You’re looking at 25″ of snow from last weekend’s storm, topped with another 8-10″. And before this storm is over we’ll probably see an additional 6-12″. And all this snow is supposed to go where…?
