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?

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.
