Why we're not taking Claire to the mall this week.

Scared of Santa photo gallery

Some of these pictures are hilarious, while some make you think, "Who in their right mind would place their child on the lap of someone who looks soused?"

If it's Albuterol, it must be Thursday...

Albuterol (Albuterol Sulfate): 3ml dose twice a day via Nebulizer
Pulmicort (Budesonide inhalation suspension): 3ml dose once a day via Nebulizer
Singulair (Montelukast sodium): 4MG chewable tablet once a day.
Augmentin (Amoxicillin and Clavulanate): 1 tsp twice a day
Ciprodex (Ciprofloxin and Dexamethasone): 4 drops in the ear twice a day.
Motrin (Ibuprofen): as needed

Methinks that Claire might be a little sick.

Castle Anthrax is no more...

Castle Anthrax was just the name I was using for our Blog until I could come up with something more apropos. Banal Minutiae owes its new name to David Cross.

Santa is coming!

And he looks pissed!

Blasphemy vs. Stench Level

After cleaning the catbox, I've determined that there is a distinct gradation of "using the Lord's name in vain" when faced with certain smells. (Of course, I don't speak for those of us involved with the more pastoral vocations such as animal husbandry, etc.). Here's the matrix:

Level	Smell	Blasphemy
1	Pee Pee Diaper	Oh God, that smells
2	Poo Poo Diaper	Jesus, that smells!
3	Cat Box	Jesus Christ! That stinks!
4	Cat Box (3 weeks old)	"For the love of Jesus Christ and all that is Holy (and Allah too!)"
5	Cat Box (cats must have had Mexican food)	"$&%$&%# Cats! Jesus Christ! Sh*t.. *gag*
