Medicinal Values

Ok, so we all know how doctors and medicines go. It's a 'hurry up and wait' game with no idea of what you're really getting yourself into. Unfortunately, there's no real answer to this problem, except to research. Yes, you need to research what's going on and prepare to speak with your doctor regarding the issues.  That's what helped me....

I've been on a medicine for 3 years and just started to have problems with it. No one really listened about it, so I did my own research and figured out that the medicine is what was causing the problems. It could completely rearrange my hormones, ladies you know how fun that could be! So, I got taken off the medicine....little did I know that would hurt me too....because the doctor didn't tell me about it.

I've now been to an ER and to another doctor with elevated blood pressure. All the ER did was give me some pain meds and orders to see my pcm(not to mention it took me over 2 hours to get in). By the time I get tomy primary doctor, they decide that I have an infection caused by the original medicine I was on. Only this infection has the possibility of making my body go septic if not treated soon enough, and this is only ONE idea. Now I'm supposed to be on bed rest to deal with the pain and taking like 5 pills a day.

Let me tell you....I'm absolutely loving modern medicine right now!

Outdoor Toys...Adventures Await!

You know, summer may be at and end, but here it is still PLENTY hot! At least, hot enough for the kids to keep playing in the backyard. Only, I think they need some more… inventive toys to play with. Things that will keep their minds full of imagination. Of course, as any Mom would, I went on the hunt. I think I have searched several websites, including Walmart and Target. But, then on a hunch I looked at a site I hadn’t heard of that had good games for kids. After all, that’s what I was looking for…

They had a lot of interesting toys. Some, which I hadn’t even thought about purchasing.  Including, but not limited to huge tents and a nice sand box. Now, I hadn’t thought of those because WE LIVE IN A SANDBOX! LOL! But, with as big as that tent was, I could manage to make it very, very comfortable for the kids. And, just maybe one adult; hehe.

To add to the fun, there is a jump rocket. My kids would have a blast with this, even from making it hit each other! Plus, it would allow some exercise, which I am a big fan of!

Well, I think I have looked enough today. Good news, I have made at least one decision on ‘new outdoor play.’ Bad news, I found A LOT more that I want too! HA the many joys of shopping!!

I love it!

Fall is coming! I can feel it in the air even down here in the south and I’m getting really excited because it’s literally my favorite time of the year. We’ve moved across town since last fall and I’m really anxious to see how the leaves change differently and how the weather feels in this part of the city! I don’t know what it is about this time of year but I’m really looking forward to celebrating it in the new house – I think we’re almost done, I called about SATELLITE 911 and my husband got new gutters installed…all I’ve got left to do is buy a new fall wreath for the front door! I know I’m probably being silly but I think part of why I like it right now so much is because my birthday is in October and I LOVE my birthday so it’s really fun when I get to begin the countdown! I’m only turning 28 this year so it’s no milestone but I think it’s going to be fun nonetheless!

Who Knew!

Things are always going to be rumors in life that you wish soooo much to be true, but you have absolutely NO idea where to start? Well, boy have I ran into that and more. I really started thinking about it and realized, that there is more than enough time. All you have to do is commit. One thing I'm referring to, is the last few posts of trying to write everyday....AGAIN I have already proved how well I can do that.....But as of today, I have a new reason to.....after all the years of looking and working, I have found ways to be happy making money and doing it from home. It took me awhile to find this, a LONG while.

Perserverance, I can say that's what drug me along...it's exactly the key ingredient your looking for as well.


More to come........

Already Off To A Bad Start......

Well, on the 4th I said that I was going to try and write everyday, yet there was nothing posted yesterday! HA, that shows how well I'm doing! But, we were quite busy yesterday with no school, kids running around, no husband and working.............OH boy! LOL.....today is now my catch-up day, thus this.......

You know, there is always a difference between when men and women are sick.....us women are good about continuing on with our work and dealing with the kids, while men on the other hand......well, you had better watch out, because if they aren't cranky they are just plain 'there' (as in laying around not dealing with anyone). What's worse is it's their job that makes them that way..............24 hour duty and only one day off? I swear they try to kill our men with depriving them of sleep just as a test.......But, the good thing out of this all is that, my good friend came over so that I don't have to wake the kids, if we go to the hospital.....and we are watching the Sons of Anarchy, not a bad show at all!

Yes, I understand some women are like that as well, I even have my days. I must say that in the very rare occasions that happens, my hubby takes very good care of me and forces me to lay down or whatever.  Just as I did for him today.........

No matter who caused the situation or what it is, good friends and conversations will always make it better!!

News And Goals

Oh it has been awhile and a lot has happened...from me finding more reasons to hate this place to just stress in general....first things first---the school systems are sooo big here that they lose their manners and their own rules apparently! I mean, when is it ok to change a kid classrooms without letting the parents know!?! They said that it happened at the beginning of the year, but still....we hought he was going to be with on person and put our trust in that...guess we will just have to keep a much closer eye on that from now on! The only good thing to come out of that hole situation, my son has a much better teacher!

Next on our list, I've found a nice legitimate job that I can do at home without much stress.....now, of course it doesn't pay as much as others would but I get to be at home with my kids and be there to take care of them without the possibility of losing my job! Not to mention, I LOVE WRITING! Obviously, anyone that writes on blogs have to love writing of some sort....which reminds me, I'm going to make a personal attempt to write on a daily basis! As busy as I am, it may prove difficult---but, from my phone or my comp I will make the attempt! Lord knows that I have enough to say!

I hope to hear lots of opionons regarding anything and everything!
