I drink a lot of ginger ale because I seem to have a queasy stomach, and get motion sickness easily.  I haven’t found an “over the counter” product that will settle my stomach any better than ginger ale that won’t make me sleepy.

I guess my predisposition to a queasy stomach is something I was simply born with, and I’ve just had to deal with it all my life.

My mother told me a very long time ago that when she was pregnant with my older sister (her first born) that she was too poor to buy a rocking chair.  She would sit on the edge of the bed for many hours with my sister, rocking her back and forth to calm her down when she was fussy.  She vowed that she would have a rocking chair for all of her following babies!

True to her word, as soon as she found out that I was on the way, she went right out and bought a rocking chair.  Much to her dismay, every time she would sit in that chair and start to rock me I would spit up all over her!  I got motion sickness every single time!  I guess now I understand why I’m NOT her favorite child!  LOLOL!
