Our whole house has been sick with the dreaded H1N1 “swine flu” and being sick at home lead me to think of strange things. So here is my wish list.
 
1. I wish Wal-mart delivered groceries like Safeway does.
2. I wish parents choice made toddler microwave meals like Gerber does. (These work in a pinch as a nutritious meal)
3. I wish parents choice made a beverage like pedialyte. That stuff is so expensive.
4. I wish Tristan would eat even when sick. Feeding a child pedialyte with a medicine dropper is no fun.

While we were sick I read a book called a year without China. It is about living a year with out buying anything from China, this led me to challenge my husband to do a year with out national brands to help save money. When we did our Safeway shopping to be delivered there was only two things my husband would not bend on.. The things he refused to bend on were toilet paper (he must have the red Charmin mega rolls) and Viva paper towels (not the pick a size it has to be the regular size).
 
Tristan got through and only lost a pound, so that is not bad considering there was three days straight that he refused to eat. At one point we were worried that he would be hospitalized but thank the lord that didn’t happen. Along with the flu we had two more teeth come in. My little man is growing up, 10 months old already and I can’t believe.
