The guys were all at a deer camp. No one wanted to room with Bob, because he snored so badly. They decided it wasn’t fair to make one of them stay with him the whole time, so they voted to take turns.

The first guy slept with Bob and comes to breakfast the next morning with his hair a mess and his eyes all bloodshot. They said, “Man, what happened to you? He said, “Bob snored so loudly, I just sat up and watched him all night.”

The next night it was a different guy’s turn. In the morning, same thing, hair all standing up, eyes all bloodshot. They said, “Man, what happened to you? You look awful! He said, ‘Man, that Bob shakes the roof with his snoring. I watched him all night.”

The third night was Fred’s turn. Fred was a tanned, older cowboy, a man’s man. The next morning he came to breakfast bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. “Good morning!” he said. They couldn’t believe it. They said, “Man, what happened?”

He said, “Well, we got ready for bed. I went and tucked Bob into bed, patted him on the a$$ and kissed him good night. Bob sat up and watched me all night.”

I have also learned there are options for you if you need them … You can find so many things on the web now adays. Still, I have come to the realization that Twitter has good information as well. Amberen on Twitter gives you information about Amberen and menopause. It is only one of many places you can go get information now adays. I remember when ‘MySpace’ was the place to be… but Facebook and Twitter and Search Engines have pretty much made that a ‘has been’.

Back to colds and allergies… my son’s allergies are acting up. Yet, the two nights he went to swim practice, he slept much better and with less snoring than the night he went without. Again, I put that down to exercise is good for you. In all aspects of you life. Whether it is a cold, allergy, menopause, overweight, … well, the list can go on for a while… Exercise is so important. I just wish I was able to do better at fitting it into my life.

Being a busy new year, we have swimming and music lessons today. Swimming and tutoring and a parent/teacher meeting tomorrow with a doc appointment for me in the morning. Swimming and scout meeting on Thursday. Tutoring on Friday. Blink. Seriously… this is insane. But I look at a friend with two boys that does that and adds 2 sports. I wonder when her kids sleep with all the homework they get. Some days I wish we lived in a neighborhood with lots of kids so mine didn’t need other activities to help them learn social skills. Then again most of the time I love being in the middle of ‘no where’ that is only 15 minutes from a grocery store. Sigh… Only a couple of more years and my oldest will be driving… I will enjoy this while I can.

The second kid says, “I’m getting my tonsils out, and I’m afraid.”

The first kid says, “You’ve got nothing to worry about. I had that done when I was four. They put you to sleep, and when you wake up they give you lots of Jell-O and ice cream. It’s a breeze.”

The second kid then asks, “What are you here for?”

The first kid says, “Circumcision.”

“Whoa!” the second kid replies, “Good luck, buddy. I had that done when I was born. Couldn’t walk for a year.
