So What Wednesday

Life After I Dew


So what if we have two vacuum cleaners and neither of them work right now. 

We bought a brand new vacuum cleaner about a month after we moved into our new house.  We figured new house, new vacuum.  Plus the new house has a lot of carpet and our old vacuum was just not efficient enough.

So we bought this.

And I actually really like it.  I love that the canister comes off and that I can easily carry it up the stairs. 

What I don't love is that it stopped working.  The canister and hose still work so my husband just think it's a belt but really?  I've only been using it for a month.  And I've already broken or slipped a belt?

I do vacuum a lot.  At least every other day in some rooms.  The boy rolls all over the floor now and the girl likes to lay on the floor to watch TV so I like to keep it clean.

The other vacuum we have (the older one) doesn't work either.  I think that's because it needs a new filter,  The vacuum just stops working when the filter is done.  It's dumb but I will say that we have owned that vacuum a long time and haven't changed the filter once.

So I'm vacuum-less for now.  But on a positive note, at least I have a need for a vacuum.  At least I have carpet and a house and all that good stuff. 

What kind of vacuum do you have?  Is there one brand that you swear by?

    We have a Dyson, but I'm going to be honest and tell you that I rarely use it! We have a house keeper come every other week, and my hubby does the vacuuming in the interim. We keep a dustbuster fully charged in our kitchen for quick vacuum jobs (mostly due to the kids).

    But my hubby loves the Dyson and swears by it.

29 Week Bumpdate

The heart rate today was 160 and all is well. Little Man is still kicking away all the time!  He sleeps until late morning and then he's all over the place for the rest of the day.  It's fun but it's also uncomfortable sometimes. When I weighed myself on Sunday, which is when I usually do it to update my pregnancy app, I was only up 15lbs.  As of today, though, I am up 17lbs.  I feel like I am growing at warp speed but the doctor assures me that I am measuring just fine.  I do feel like some of the shirts I wore two weeks ago shouldn't be worn anymore though!  The bump is growing! I have noticed that I have been waking up with swollen ankles every morning despite sleeping with them elevated.  I know this has a lot to do with the weight gain since I had such a problem with it last time.  Other than that, the normal heartburn and backaches come and go and I'm crazy tired but I don't really have any other issues.  I don't ever ...

Cheerios Stands

So when I logged onto my computer this morning, the first article that caught my attention was this one ( Cheerios Stands ) about a new commercial Cheerios has out.  They are getting a ton of negative feedback for this commercial and I'm just not understanding why. So basically, people are upset because this is a white mother, a black father and a biracial child.  What's the big deal? I know that it isn't a common thing to see in a TV commercial but what's the big deal?  I really don't think that biracial couples are uncommone these days so I'm not really understanding why they are getting such negative feedback for this commercial.  I give a ton of props to Cheerios/General Mills for not pulling the ad.  They could do that and that would be easy and would end the negativity but they are not going to do that.  Good for you.  There is no reason why this ad should not be aired. By the way, I think the commercial is cute and funny and I proba...

HFMD

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common viral illness that usually affects infants and children younger than 5 years old. However, it can sometimes occur in adults. Symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease include fever, blister-like sores in the mouth (herpangina), and a skin rash. ( http://www.cdc.gov/hand-foot-mouth/about/index.html) Are you kidding me? Blister-like sores in the mouth? Why do things like this even exist? What purpose does an illness like this that just torments little babies (and their parents) serve?  This stupid illness is currently 'running it's course' through my poor son. One week before his first birthday. Apparently it's 'going around' as the doctor so nicely explained.  Fortunately we only had one really bad day where he was not eating or drinking much and was just miserable. He was back to his usually happy self in no time even with blisters in his mouth. So this week, while my husband is away for work in Chicago and ...
