Friday Poll

This question is a personal one, one that Hubba-hubba and I debate all the time. You see, he is incapable of doing it, and his are the type that rattle the dang windows.

Can you hold in your sneezes?


PS They are pretty sure it's a girl!

A girl!! I'm so excited! I hope you don't get a "delivery surprise"! ah, a healthy baby is all that matters. xoxo

I, on occasion, can hold in a sneeze. But in the height of allergy season, I am incapable. I have to sneeze 20 at a time, full force. They must come out, unless I want to lose brain cells.

Holding in sneezes is way too painful, but I always cover my face when I sneeze.

And yay for a girl! Girls are awesome!

I can but I don't like to.

Congrats on a girl! You will have to tell me your secret. There has to be some sort of trick to it because I can't seem to have a girl. lol!

Oh Yay! Just try not to grab up all the cutesy things that is available in the stores. It's so hard though.

I can hold in my sneeze but many times when I do that my ears get clogged. It's been pretty bad for the past few weeks (allergies) and if I am home I rarely hold them in. If I am out especially around folks I sort of muffle it.

Here's to a healthy baby

Girls are way more fun to shop for. :) But as for your question, I can hold it if I hold my nose, but it just blocks up my ears. Instead I just sneeze into a kleenex.

Hooray! A girl! One of the best things? Girls are so much more likely to be able to hold in their sneezes.

I made that up 'cause I felt like it. And, yeah, I can hold in my sneezes.

A girl, hooray!

Sneezes: I only stifle them if I am in a situation where a loud sneeze would not be appropriate.

Ever had to sneeze when you had a mouth full of food and it was too late to control it?!!!

Also: did you know that it is supposed to be impossible not to close your eyes (albeit for a nanosecond) when you sneeze?

Onward

The end of the school year, finally! Did I tell you that my son went to public school this past year? Did I tell you that my daughter was in a regular Kinder classroom this year? Although it was nice to have them both in school, there were definitely things I was not so hip on, such as having to wake up at 5:20 every morning just to get everyone out the door on time.  And then after all the driving and dropping off, going to work. Such fun! I had forgotten the dreariness of having to complete mounds and mounds of homework (even though new research has shown that homework, especially for Kinder, is for shit).  Of constant deadlines and fundraisers and things I am supposed to volunteer for. My daughter had a good year, but was definitely not without its bumps. Her teacher, an older, highly experienced, practical woman with a Master's in Education, kept referring to my daughter as an "inclusion student."  It wasn't her name or just "student" but was...

D-A-N-G

As with all young children, for a very long time we parents rely on the old "spell the word out" trick for talking about things in front of them that we don't want them to know. Well, our time seems just about up. Hubba-hubba was trying to tell me about an upcoming event in which Santa would be making an appearance. As Mr. P is very much into Christmas this year, we knew that any mention of Santa would bring a long soliliquoy about how Santa is magic and how he makes the toys and how he has a list and on and on and on. And at that moment, we just didn't feel like hearing it. Don't judge people, don't judge. So, Hubba-hubba spelled out "S-A-N-T-A." "Hey, what did you just say?" said the five year old. "Nothing" lied replied his father. "I know what you said, Daddy! You said Santa!" Anybody know a place that sells semaphore flags?

Blown Away

That is a fitting name for this post, as the winds outside our house right now are blowing at speeds that have been clocked at 85 mph, which is technically hurricane-force. The wind truly sounds like a freight train. I have never experienced such a ferocious wind storm, and we get them every year around this time. Oy. If you've checked the news, you've heard about the Malibu fire, but seriously, when doesn't Malibu burn? Every frickin year they have a fire, it just goes with the territory of being remote and having heavy brush, combined with no irrigation and a canyon. It's just a volatile mix. Meanwhile, in the very canyon in which my house is located (the Fremont Canyon) we are in the thick of those winds clocked at hurricane speed, and it is just crazy, people. There are trees being uprooted everywhere, as well as something that just hit my roof. I'm not kidding. We have seen at least two transformers blow out, kind of pretty, actually that huge blue glow ...
