Yesterday evening I learned that Desitin is not just for diaper rash.

If you're around my age you remember the Tupperware steamer in Harvest Gold that separates in 3 pieces. (has probably been recalled)

I love using it to steam my fresh vegetables in the microwave and never have I had an accident with the boiling water, but last night when I pulled it out of the microwave I tried to avoid falling over two of the dogs waiting behind me in hopes of a green bean dropping. I lost my balance and tilted the steamer just enough to have the boiling water land on my right hand.

I have never had a burn before - immediately I put my hand under cold water but the pain wasn't stopping so I went online and went with the suggestion of coating the burn with Desitin Cream. It worked!

This morning my hand is swollen but I have no blistering and just a little pain on a couple of fingers.

Thank God for google and the ex waitress that guaranteed Desitin would work.

    I have that steamer in a terra cotta color, but have forgotten about it. It must be stashed in the back of a cabinet somewhere...I must look for it. Hope your hand is feeling better!

    I am enjoying your blog...I find it very inspirational!

      Thank you for reading my blog - happy you're enjoying it.
      As for my hand, it healed quickly with little scaring... the Desitin worked!

      If you decide to use your steamer again be careful. I'm still using mine, but I did go on the Tupperware website to check out the new and improved ( safer) ones.

How's Your Sleep

OMG Facts tweeted yesterday that you can survive days without eating but will live 11 days from not sleeping.  http://www.omg-facts.com/  I'm teetering on being sleep deprived at the moment. My 2 year old granddaughter has been staying the night and she won't sleep in her room.  She is a 2 year old that is the height of most 4 year olds, and she sleeps horizontally. It's not bad the nights that I get her head in my chest, but when its a night of the feet and getting kicked... forget about it. No sleep! I did some research and of course there has always been pros and cons about children sleeping in the same bed. Dr. Phil is opposed to it  - one of his reasons is it can cause regressive behavior.  http://drphil.com/articles/article/114  Personally I disagree - I loved having my kids by me and saw no side effects from it. They knew that they were always welcome in my bed, so naturally the same rule goes for the grandkids. It's just this is the first time h...

I left early this morning to get some shopping done, and I have to be honest - not ready to be sold on Christmas  I know it's the way retail works - I put many years into that industry, but I truly hate how overly commercialized Christmas is. They brainwash people and kids into thinking they have to have the newest and best of everything, and most people buy into the lie.  But what about the kids that their parents can't fall into the trap because financially they just can't do it. Are they made fun of or shunned by their peers because they don't have the newest clothes, gadgets, or toys?  Do they feel inferior or not worthy enough to receive - according to the advertisers you have to have it. It's not fair or right and I hate it!                                                               I think we all need to ...
