Doing a little better.

I have been fighting swollen glands for the better part of a week. Finally went to the doc and was given one of those awful antibiotics. Of course now I am dealing with yeast and still have the headache and swollen glands. Now the antibiotic you take for 3 days and it last for 10. So now we know why are of those chemicals are dangerous. They can make them last as long as they want them too, or if they want forever.

Took all three babies to see Toy Story last night and then went to the Kewpee for FF and Malts. Of course forgot that Colten won't eat anything chocalte so his "ice cream" was a huge disappointment. Then frozen yogurt saved the day, vanilla of course.

These three kids are the best, set thru the movie and then sat in the chairs at Kewpee, listened and held hands.

They are so much fun to do things with.

Hope your Halloween is terrific.

Worrying

Are you a worry wart? How much time do we waste (time we can never recover) worrying about things we can not control? So much of the things that happen in our life our out of our control. Worrying about them does nothing. The answer is to actually turn those concerns over to GOD.

Not one person in the last day has even mentioned to me about the UPS plane in the UK.
A plane that was headed to Chicago, that was destined for a Jewish Synogue. Does that mean that we don't care about the Jewish people in our country or is it just that it doesn't effect us.

How devasted would you have been had that bomb exploded at OHara. ( I am not sure that is the airport it was scheduled to land at) How many people would have been effected. Would we be talking or silent the way we were with the trade centers. Would you be concerned then?

We definately pay more attention in this country to Charlie Sheen and Lindsy Lohen than we do to the terreriost whom are still going out to get us.

I know we can't worry about this, it is something we can't directly change, but we can be concerned, stay alert, pay attention.

God doesn't allow tragedy to happen to us, but when it does, he uses those tragic incidents to help us to move forward.

I am praying that we as Americans wake up to what is really happening in the world. That we figure it out, that the happenings in the world really do effect us on a personal level. That we learn to give in a loving spirit, not what others feel they need but what GOD tells us to give.

Quality and Quantity

Have you ever bought the low calorie frozen meals to help you out with your counting your calories?

Did you feel you had enough to eat, some of what I have purchased tasted good, others not so much. But the quality of ingredients are ridicules, just another low nutrient, low cost filler type things that go into those items. So they think they are filling, but I think I could eat five of these and still not feel full.

What about the "diets" that are delivered to your door? Me I could feed all seven of my children's families for the cost of what they consider one months. And then you still need to add your fresh foods to this.

What the heck is wrong with us. That we even consider paying out our hard earned monies to line someone else's pockets.

We can't figure out eating healthy? No. What we can't do is limit ourselves, we can't say no, we can't figure out we don't need to eat 24 seven. Once every 4 or 5 hours is enough. We don't need to celebrate every get together with food. Normal is eat, eat, eat. Celebrate with food, have snacks easily accessible in every cupboard.



Have you tried using high quality products and making your own? I know we could have more food, just getting the numbers right might be a challenge.

The New American Diet

I found a new interesting book at the library. It goes along with a lot of my believes of our food consumption.

How I wish more of us could embrace the reality of the poisons we consume.
How little we respect ourselves. It is just so easy to believe the lies and to fall back into the normal American diet.

On two peas today!

Do you judge the parent of horrible children?

The link here:

Hopefully it will work and be useful.

I didn't think I did judge, but I know I do now.

It's hard for me to understand the new mentality that anything goes. How often the younger ones think its okay to allow the disrespect.

So I do judge. And the older I get the harder it is to say the right things.

Processes

Trying to make up some page kits to take with me to crops.
What are your processes for scrapping?
Do you have a plan?

How do you decide what to work on?

Power Words

I picked up Joyce Meyers Power Words last night at Sams.
Both Kids playing Football and Volleyball finished their seasons yesterday, so some free weekends coming up. Yea Right. The boys next weekend, crop the following, than Taylor on the 19 of November.
The Lyle family Thanksgiving that was scheduled for the 28 was cancelled so have to figure out a time to have kids over now.

Oh what fun the holidays bring.

Wondering?

Wondering why my friends and family whom have government jobs have time to send me forwarded jokes and "psa" from junk email all the time.

Not only are they wasting my time they are wasting their time and my tax dollars.
They also take the risk of sabotaging the computer systems owned by us.

Ridiculous.

Cave Men

Children raised in caveman style are better adjusted and more intelligent.
So what is caveman style. You never leave your baby, the dinosaurs might eat him.
You keep them close, breast feed, teach them to poo on demand, spend lots of time rearing them.

You correct with positives instead of negative, only hurtful corrections when danger is immenient.

Watch at wild animals and notice how they take care of there babies.

Perceptions

Do you immediately decide if you will or won't like something?

Can anything change your mind?

Are you able to respect someone else's view?

Can someone saying what you might think isn't true influence you to look further into it?

Are you always true to your heart?

Building Relationships

First off if you don't like you, no one else will. You have to be okay with God and your self.
Every change has to start with you.


How do you go about building or repairing relationships?
If it is in your heart, you need to do something about it.

It is not about the quantity of time, but about the quality of the time you spend on the relationship.

Remember you teach someone how to treat you, once you change they will resist, because that is what they know, but with persistence you can change the way they respond.

Atitudes

How much different we would all be if we would just say, Yes I can!
Why do we make oursleves sick with worry when most things are out of our control anyways.

We need to just do it, and then its done.

New Imagine?

What are your thoughts on the Imagine? I know I have no plans to purchase it, I wonder also what effect its success will have on our Cricuts.


As much as I don't trust Provo Craft, and I love my expression it is just interesting to see how many Cricut blogs have embraced the Imagine.

I want the info for my Cricut back, I need inspired.

What are your thoughts?

Exploring

Well there is many more videos that I was unaware of. So if you haven't watched them you might want to check out:

The World According to Monsanto

Everything You Must Know about GMO Foods.

If you haven't watched Food Inc, that is another good one.

check them out!

Weston Price Foundation

I attended the WPF meeting last night at Grace Church (Annex?)
The meeting was on Raw Milk. Lots of interesting information. Some good some scary.

The meetings are held on the second Monday of the month at 7:00pm. The doors open at 6:30 and there are whole health vendors selling their wares.

The next meeting will be discussing cholesterol problems and treatments. November 8,

There is a physcian who gives a lecture on the topic, and then other speakers also.

Interesting.

Are you listening to the lies?

We all know that fat and sugar are bad for us, right?

So how do we fix it. If we eat less fat, we add more sugar. That is just the way the manufactures do it.

So now we need to stop all sugars, stop all fat and load up on grains. Grains with fiber. Added fiber. That has dextrose in it. Which means sugar, and the grains themselves turn to sugar, sooner than later because the grains have had all nutrition taken out and fiber and vitamins put back in. Than they label them whole grains because they have a gram or two or three of whole grains added back in.

Think! Fat is not bad it is good for you, WHOLE grains are good for you, Natural sugars have vitamins in them too.

The problem is too much, because we have screwed with our foods, our bodies don't know what they want, they CRAVE too much.

Eat a proper balance of nutrient rich foods. You won't be hungry. Your MIND and BODY will thank you.

Never choose low fat, low sugar LABELED foods. Try your best to choose the closest to nature that is possible.

Have a treat occasionally (once a week), choose fruits for dessert most days. Stop poisoning your kids, feed them well too.

Before eating anything drink a glass of pure water. Most often we are not hungry, we are thirsty.

Stop snacking eat only at meals and make them 4 hours apart.

Get your body to a good for you weight. Stop blaming your health. Stop blaming your medicines.

This is all doable. Not hard. But a reality.

Take time to smell the roses!

Do you look at the beauty around you? Take a minute to appreciate nature, take a walk LOOK.
There is much beauty just waiting to be enjoyed.

Enjoy!

Make yourself ENJOY whatever you are doing right now.

Where ever you are in your life.

Whatever God has blessed you with.

What do you consider healthy?

What constitutes healthy for you?
Do you believe mainstream medicine? the nutritional cops?

"They" are still telling us this and that about healthy eating. Exercise.

Is it working?

Not much. So much not much that we now believe someone who is at a healthy weight "looks bad"

But we who are 20, 30, 50 or 100 pounds overweight look "good", "healthy".

Since you started taking their medications has your "disease" went into remission.

Is it their medicines or your disease that is destroying your body?

Healthy living has to start with healthy foods.
If we have proper nutrition our bodies do not destroy themselves.

Just because food has "healthy properties" does not mean it is "feeding us"

We need to make sure everything we put in our bodies is nutritionally feeding us.
After we are healthy than we can "treat" our minds with the things we thing we can no longer do without.

Once you start eating "real" food, you will be surprised at how much the "junk" food doesn't satisfy your cravings.

On course

What alters your course? Is it good or bad?

When we get off course it can stop our progression or just send us on a new path.

So keep on the track or take the high road, but keep on keeping on.

Hows that working for you?

If you keep getting the same results and they are not the results you want you think maybe its time for change?

Yep I am talking to you!

We can Change!

We do make a difference.

We can promote change.

We can determine what we allow the manufactures to sell us.

Until recently it was illegal in Ohio to lable your milk as drug free.

People who care enough about you and your childrens health have recently got this law changed.

You may now buy milk and know it is drug free.

Please get on the band wagon and help to change the GMO foods. Another health risk that has been banned for sale in Europe. We need to stop the growing and sale of these products. (mostly grain at this point) But they are developing and selling fruits and vegetables.

Money talks much more than any other media. SO STOP BUYING PRODUCTS MADE WITH THESE GMO FOODS.
Ask when you order in a resturant. IF they don't know it is.
Also remember if you are eating food fed GMO products you are eating GMO foods also.

Faith!

What is faith to you?

How do you continue to have faith?



If you are looking for a reason to not beleive it takes nothing. If you are looking for a reason to beleive it is called FAITH.

Back to Food

If you have not researched GMO food. Please do so. Let the manufactures know that we won't support their products if they continue to support Monsanto.

Here's some info:

How do you get what you want?

You know the "secret" is to just ask. So why when I ask do I never receive what I think I am asking for?

Left the house to go to the Y today. Changed my mind on the way and decide to go and have hightlight put in my hair. Knew it should be cut too.

Went to a nice salon, asked if they had a room for a walk in, they said let me check.
Came back and said yes. So Iask for highlights, a bob cut about 1 inch below my chin with an under cut, because otherwise it will flip and stick out.
She asked what color I wanted my highlights, I said oh something fall, nothing real blonde, but carmel, rust or mahogony would be allright. She asked about a purple and showed me hers in her hair, I said fine, I really didn't know I have never had highlights before. Well $64. later, I do have purple, you really don't see it, cause my hair is so dark, and I have a bob that is chin length, not an inch below, and it is flipping. Go figure.

What should I have asked for?

World Card Making Day

Today is World Card Making Day. I don't know why we never plan the day for making cards.

Make a card today.

Time Manegement

Do you ever wonder how productive we could be if:

We spent as much time taking care of what we need to as we do checking peoples status on facebook?

We used our time taking care of ourselves (fixing our own food, so we know what is in it, moving our bodies ) instead of traveling to a restaurant, waiting in line for a table or our food, waiting for said food to be delivered to our table.

Actually just doing it instead of procrastinating about getting it done.
