We were in the car yesterday and Oldest Son said, "Y'know, you have 1000 taste buds on your tongue when you are born."
To which Number Two Son said, "Taste butts? What are taste butts?"
Even in my allergy induced coma I thought it was funny. You see, I am one of those people, if I don't feel well, I medicate. Immediately.
I know people who say, "Your just covering up the symptom. Your not healing anything by taking those pills you know."
Yeah. So. What's your point?
There are hundreds of products on the market to numb, deaden, cover, conceal, and help me sleep through allergies, colds, the flu, and pain. None of them work very well, but they each help a little. It is just a matter of finding the perfect combination. Right? I should be in a Niquil commercial as I fully support their product. And Benadryl. The wonder drug.
Things the Doctor told me to take Benadryl.l for:
When I was pregnant and couldn't sleep.
When I was pregnant and itched all over.
For the itching under my daughter's full leg cast.
For the swelling of my daughters foot when she broke her leg.
For the reaction to the penicillin my son is slightly allergic to.
For long distance plane rides.
When I was a toddler they didn't have Benadryl. So the when my own mother voiced concerns regarding difficulty getting her children to sleep, he suggested a tablespoon of brandy at bed time.
My Doctor never said anything about brandy. Hummmm. I wonder if it would still work on me?
Now, since it is obvious I am a wimp who hates even the idea of pain and discomfort you would think I took the pain medication route when bringing my children into the world. Really, how do you think I handled that pain? In honor of upcoming Mother's Day, (and that new show Notes from the Underbelly that I haven't watched but I think is a funny idea) and just because I can, be prepared to suffer the four unique stories of my children's birth.
Unless you have something better for me to blog about?
