This woman writes about her shopping experience with six kids and is selling a pack of pokeyman cards her kids slipped into her shopping cart. Very funny and I think we can all relate to certain aspects of this!

Barbie Bandits Pleads Guilty!

I was paroosing the news and saw the headline “Barbie Bandit Suspect Pleads Guilty.” Well. I am WAY out of that loop and thought “WOW, Someone is stealing Barbie’s?” As you have seen in previous blogs, I love to poke fun at America’s favorite large breasted kids toy and her BFF gay friend, Ken. So in my head, I imagined some Barbie crazed woman (or man) out on the hunt for more Barbie’s for their lovely oak curio cabinet. Who can resist Oopsy Poopsy Barbie and her dog who apparently eats his poopsy. Or MAC Barbie who, because she wears lipstick, MUST dress like a whore or is this really a Paris Hilton doll under the guise of Barbie because Paris wouldn't give the rights to Mattel to make a doll in her likeness. (longwinded, I know). Does the Barbie Bandit need fashion advice from her? A makeover perhaps? Or, if that is too racy, then there is Elmo Barbie. Does she giggle when you squeeze her? Where can I get THAT outfit. My daughter would think I was SO cool.
Wouldn’t it be great if Barbie Bandit really was a stealer of Barbies rather then a boring old bank robber? And wouldn't it be fun news to read? Oh! Which Barbie did she steal THIS time!

Ewww Lice

Oh, the joy of that sentence: "a small case of head lice was discovered at school" It is enough to make MY head itch...
Now that the kids will be returning to school, it is something that may or maynot enter our lives this coming school year....
Head lice are parasitic insects that live in the hair and scalp of humans. The scientific name for head louse is Pediculus humanus capitis. Another name for infestation with head lice is pediculosis. Head lice is a VERY common condition, especially among children ages 3-10. As many as 6 million to 12 million people worldwide get head lice each year. Outbreaks of head lice occur often in schools and group settings worldwide.

Quick facts:
• Head lice are parasitic insects that live in the hair and scalp of humans. They need human blood to survive.
• Head lice are spread easily from person to person by direct contact.
• Head lice can infest anyone, regardless of personal hygiene.
• Head lice are usually treatable with lice-killing shampoos and creme rinses.
• To prevent infection: 1) avoid direct contact with the head, hair, clothing, or personal belongings of a person with head lice, and 2) treat affected persons, their contacts, and their households.

To help prevent head lice in your children check their heads often, teach them how it is spread and tell them to tell you when their scalp is very itchy.
