I don't know about you but the last few weeks my allergies have been awful! Every year around this time I go through about a week of suffering. I am now in my 3rd week either my nose is stuffy or it is running like a river.Wendy Corey and I were talking about it the other day and her allergies have also been worse this year than in years past.As I write this I have sneezed about half a dozen times.When will it end?..Do  you have any allergy remedies you would like to share ?

1. Share errand duties with other moms: One mom can hit the grocery store, another the department store, while a third watches the children.

 

2. Shop garage sales: If you have older children, this can become a fun scavenger hunt while you look for clothing and household items.

 

3. Use coupons: Clipping the newspaper is a good start, but online sites like MommySavesBig.com are tailored to moms who are looking for deals on grocery and household items, clothing, presents for family members, etc.

Hi there ,

 

Happy April Fools Day...Are you one o fthose people that get into your April Fools Pranks? Let me know ....Here are some good April Fool web sites

 

 

www.april-fools.us - A wealth of silly pranks can be found on this site, which also features the best hoaxes of the recent past.

 

 

www.prankbot.com - Are you a die-hard prankster too lazy to go to the dollar store for prank-building materials? Let this site do it for you. There's a form on Prankbot.com that will send a fake e-mail saying the degree the victim worked for is now invalid because he/she didn't complete enough credits. They also offer to send love letters, as well as a fake e-mail from the local tax department informing the recipient of back taxes that must be paid due to an error.

 

www.mailfool.com - This site will send a note that appears to come from someone other than you, maybe a parent, boss, work colleague or a friend. The site even has suggestions for the creatively impaired.

 

www.thefreesite.com/Seasonal_Freebies/April_Fools - This site provides a ton of free options for the fun loving, including a program that generates customized fake error messages on the Microsoft Windows operating system and software that randomly changes the appearance of the cursor. They also have links to freeware downloads, prank phone calls and more.
