Fresh Paint

I finally got the painting done that I have wanted to get done for the last nine months. I had no kids at home so I was able to get the walls painted. The kids are back in school, which means time for mom to get a few things done around the house while they are away.

It's a good feeling to have fresh paint on the walls, it make everything look so clean and fresh. I always think while I'm painting that we really never know how dirty our walls are until we get up close and personal with them. After painting them I can definitely sat it was really time to get this job done. I also decide to paint the outside door the same color as my living room walls. I think I like it, I just haven't decided for sure yet. The next time I paint I may have to choose a different color as I have had this shade of brown for a few years now. Oh well, I like the color and it goes well with my furniture.

Shoe Shopping

Alli has finally out grown her tennis shoes from last year. I didn't realize how tight they had become until just the other day. I did find a pair of Nike shoes that were hand me downs from her cousin, however they were a size too big, so tonight John and I went shopping for some new shoes for Alli. We did find a pair we are hoping will fit her, but we will have to wait to try them on her in the morning when she wakes up.

We hit the jackpot though as John got two new pairs of shoes, a pair of tennis shoes and a nice pair of casual shoes. I also found a pair of brown high heel boots that were on sale, so of course I just had to get them. (Happy birthday to me.) Good thing the store we went to was having buy one get one 1/2 off. Okay so we would have spent less money had there not been a sale, we would have just gotten Alli shoes. I guess that's what sales are for, getting people to spend money they weren't expecting to spend just to make us think we were getting a good deal.

Personal Injury Attorney

Everyone knows that when it comes to driving a vehicle we cannot be careful enough. Not only do we have to worry about our loved ones who are riding in the same vehicle as us, but we also have to be defensive when it comes to the other drivers on the road. None of us like to think of the what if’s in our lives, like auto or workplace accidents. However, if we find ourselves in a situation like these it’s good to know a San Antonio Personal Injury Attorney who knows how to prepare and present claims, which will maximize financial recovery if such an unfortunate accident should occur. The law Firm OMD will give free rights and legal options for motor vehicle or workplace accident claims. Visit them today if you need legal advice from a personal injury attorney.

Vacation Day


My sister is home visiting for the next few days with her boys Hudson and Logan, so I decided to take a couple days off from work to visit with them. I also decided I would use one of my days to get some things done around the house. I need to go through Dru's dresser drawers to figure out what doesn't fit her anymore. I also am going to try and paint my living room walls. It will be nice to spend time with Trisha, Hudson, and Logan. It will also be a very good feeling to get some things done around home too.

the fat loss guru

Back in January Dru came into our lives. This makes baby number four for me. I love her dearly, but with each child I have definitely added to my waistline, thighs, and okay my behind also. It seems no matter what diets I have tried, the weight just doesn’t want to come off. Part of my problem is I love food way too much, so when it comes to dieting, which requires eating less, it just makes me all the hungrier. Diabetes is a disease the runs in my family. My grandfather and mom have Diabetes and I also had Gestational Diabetes with my last two pregnancies, so I know that I must lose the weigh I have gained and keep it off to help stop the cycle of me also getting Diabetes.

I have tried Weight Watchers a couple of times. At first the weight seems to come off fast and I get excited because I think this diet will finally work out for me, but then it always seems like I come to a stand still and I then get very frustrated which causes me to lose my focus. I have seen Jenny Craig advertised on TV, however I really don’t want to spend a whole lot of money on monthly enrollment fee’s nor do I want to pay for their food that you must eat to be a success in their program. I don’t want to be tied down to only certain kinds of foods. Especially ones that come straight out of a box, I really don’t understate how eating out of a box can be that healthy.

Recently I found the fat loss guru. This seems like a diet which could really help me out. He focuses on eating foods more often through out the day. He lays out his dieting plan in a simple ultimate diet handbook, which explains his fat burning theory. Being able to follow his simple steps and being able to eat more through out the day might be just what I need to jump start my weight loss and lead me down the path to a healthier lifestyle.

Baptism

This past weekend Logan had his Baptism at the church my sister grew up in. Logan and Noah celebrated their special day together. Logan Edwin was named after our Grandpa Dell Edwin who passed away last May. Because Logan was named after grandpa Trisha decided to dress Logan in the same attire we were all used to seeing grandpa wearing. Logan looked very adorable in his plaid shirt, blue jeans, and suspenders, just like grandpa would wear. It was a very special day for everyone and we sure missed Grandpa Dell and wished he could have been there with us.

Black Friday

Now that the kids are off to school it won’t be long before Christmas is here. It is just amazing how time flies from one event to the next. For instance, with the start of school brings the countdown to winter, and that means the holiday season is just around the corner, which we all know is one of the busiest times of the year. Now that Dru has joined our family it means more planning and comparing prices before any gifts can be purchased, as we will now be buying for four children. My children’s ages range from 13 years to 7 months which means I will be looking at a wide range of gift ideas from electronics, clothes, and learning toys.

One way that always helps me save money is by shopping on Black Friday. Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving when almost every store goes hog wild with crazy shopping specials. Whether you have a large family or not this is a great way to help out the pocket book, as this is a very expensive time of year for everyone.

To shop on black Friday it used to require buying the local newspaper on Thanksgiving Day morning, reading through all the special ads after putting the turkey in the oven. My husband and I would go through every ad to see who had the best deal and who had exactly what each child wanted. Then it was to decide if it was worth the savings to get up in the middle of the night to venture out and stand in line hoping to get that perfect gift. Since then, I have found a website that will now send black friday ads to my email ahead of time, which is a great way to help me plan in advance. I simply request the ads I would like to view, they send them to me ahead of time, I review them, and decided where I will start my shopping day. Receiving the ads ahead of time is a great way to help ease the stress of the Christmas Season.

Back To School

Well, the kids went back to school on Tuesday. The sad thing about school starting is that summer must come to an end. I really don't mind that it's another school year, as it helps keep them out of trouble, I just would rather have summer all year long. With the start of the school year it means that winter is just around the corner and that means it's gonna get cold. I really do think Cole, Alli, and Becca are glad that school has started even though they don't want to admit it. I think they like to get back into a better routine and I know they like seeing their friends everyday.

Auto Body

Last winter my son accidentally crashed a shopping cart into my minivan. A couple months ago my husband noticed a nice little dent in the back of the van where it was hit. Unfortunately, what caught his eye first was rust not the little dent. It looks like we will need to make an appointment for some auto body work to be done so that the rust will not continue to spread to other areas of my van.

Detoxing Alli

We have done four detox treatments for Alli in the past week and a half. We have noticed some nice changes in her since we started using the ion cleanse. Food does not seem to be a high priority anymore. Alli usually can eat 24/7 and not get full or gain a single pound. She now will wait patiently while supper is being prepared. It used to be that she would do a lot of screaming because she wanted to eat now. She has also been a lot more content. For example, when ever Alli is around a pool the only thing she can think about is swimming. If she is not in the water she is Crabby with a capital C! This weekend while visiting my sister, who has a swimming pool, Alli was perfectly happy to swim only a couple hours versus being in the pool all day long. Another positive thing we have noticed with Alli is at bedtime, she is going to bed without a fight and falling a sleep right away. We will continue to detox and hope to see other improvements in her.

New Cabinets

Today Cole and I starting putting together some new cabinets, which we will be putting in our entry way. This was like the blind leading the blind. First of all none of the parts were labeled, we had to compare each piece with the picture in the directions. Boy, was that confusing. Once we got on a good roll and had most of it put together we came to another road block. When we tried to close the doors they wouldn't shut, they kept over lapping each other. No matter how hard we tried we couldn't figure out what we had done wrong, so we had to hold tight and wait for John to come home and help us figure things out. Of course it didn't take him long at all to figure out what had gone wrong. We have only one more of these cabinets to put together, I sure hope putting that one together goes better then the one we did tonight.

Video Editing

Having four children in my household means I will be using my video camera quite often. Blaze Media Pro looks like an exciting way to edit any of my files. Just one of the ways Blaze Media Pro helps with editing is the way it can convert WMV to AVI. Other great editing options include comprehensive video editing such as, over 30 effects and color adjustments, deleting frames, cropping, rotating, resizing, and much, much more. They offer all this so we can enhance all of our videos, pretty cool.

Change of Plans

I didn't really know what to make for supper tonight, so I decided it would be Goulash. I started to brown the hamburger in the microwave and tried to boil water on the stove for the noodles. No matter what I tried to do the stove would not light (we have a gas stove). I forgot my husband had told me the night before that he had shut the gas off to the house so he could change the copper lines. Boy did that mean I had to rethink my supper plans, so Taco night it was. This is something I don't need the stove for, I could use the microwave to cook it all. I guess in the long run it made for an easier meal, with less clean up, and the kids liked the Taco's way better then if I would have made the Goulash. I guess we will save the meal for later in the week.

Sisterly Love




Ever since Dru has become a part of our family Becca has been the proudest big sister I have ever seen. She just loves to take care of her by changing her diaper, feeding her, and dressing her up in all of her cute clothes. Becca loves to take pictures and I think she took a least one of these pictures herself. I often wonder if she will like her as much once she has started crawling, walking, and getting into all of her things. The smiles on Becca's face just shows how much she loves Dru, I hope this feeling is just as strong 10 years from now when Dru wants to follow her around where ever Becca goes. I can feel the tension already.

Detox

My 11 year old daughter Alli was diagnosed with Autism when she was three years old. Since then, my husband and I have done what we can to try and help her. We have given her all types of vitamins, ABA Therapy, GFCF Diet, Chelation, and many other things. We know she has been vaccine injured. We have put Alli through many tests and we know that she is off the chart when it comes to heavy metal toxicity. These include mercury, lead, and the list goes on. Yesterday we tried another type of detox treatment for Alli. It is called an IonCleanse. By simply putting your feet in distilled water, sea salt, and using positive and negative electrical charges you are able to remove toxins from your body. Alli is non-verbal so communicating with her is difficult. We asked her multiple yes/no questions to see if she liked the foot bath and she answered every question with a yes, she liked it and wants to do some more. We will try again tomorrow and we hope to see some changes in her no matter how big or small. We will continue to do what we can to help our daughter and detoxing her is one small piece of the whole puzzle.

Great Weather

Today was a very nice day. There was not as much humidity or wind. Too bad I had to work and didn't have much time to enjoy it, on the flip side I don't have to work tomorrow so I am hoping to get a nice day where the kids and I can play outside. I haven't seen the forecast so I am praying we don't get any rain.

Regency Beauty Institute

Summer Vacation


Earlier this summer Becca was able to take a small vacation with my sister and her family. They headed north. Boating and swimming at the sandbar were some of the fun activities she did while they were gone. A trip to the zoo was also on the agenda. However, it was very hot and her favorite part of the zoo was running through the sprinkler with Hudson. Becca had a really good time and will be heading up north with Trisha's family again tomorrow. I know she will have just as much fun on this trip.

Cutting Teeth

About two weeks ago Dru got her first tooth. I think she is now working on her second tooth. She has been very fussy tonight and doesn't want to stay asleep. Her nose seems to be stuffy also. These have all been signs of cutting teeth for my other kids. I feel so bad for her because she doesn't know why her mouth hurts, she just wants it to stop hurting. It was so cute when her first tooth broke through the gums. She kept on sucking her lower lip over the tooth not really understanding what was in her mouth. She just knew something felt funny. I wonder if she will keep doing this when the other tooth finally gets here, which I hope is soon for all of us. We may be in for a few sleepless nights.

Karisma Hotels

About five years ago I had the pleasure of visiting Cancun with a group of my friends. It was a very fun place to visit, the beaches were wonderful, and I can’t wait to go back and share the fun with my whole family. Some cancun hotels offer all-inclusive options, which is the way I would like to travel during my next visit. Karisma Hotels, which specialize in individual experiences, is all about achieving the ‘WOW’ factor for their guests. They offer different types of all-inclusive hotels from adult only stays to family and friendly options. It all depends on what you are looking for during your vacation. Visit them today to book your next Cancun vacation.

Dru Elisabeth

Dru is such a happy baby. This picture was taken by my sister. When I opened my mail from her and saw this picture it put the biggest smile on my face. Every time I need a pick me up, I just look at this picture of Dru and it reminds me of what is really important. I hope this is a sign of what her personality will be like as she gets older, happy and content with whom she is.

Helping Grandma

This week Becca has been helping grandma with babysitting her cousins. They are almost three and 2 /12 months. She is having fun feeding the baby. Becca says she is the only one who can get him to sleep and grandma is agreeing with her. One big reason for this is he loves to be held and Becca is more than willing to do it. Hudson has also latched onto Becca, she is the only one he will let take him potty. He is so picky about who is in the bathroom with, it's like he gets stage fright. I guess I don't blame him, who wants an audience when it comes to that? Mom and Dad will be home tomorrow to pick up the boys. I bet Becca and Grandma are both ready for some relaxation after taking care of these two sweeties.

Stocks and Investments

When it comes to stocks and investments I have to honestly say I don’t know very much, I just trust my financial advisor and hope he is not leading me down the wrong path. I have found a website called PowerOption that is designed to help people like me. To help meet financial goals, they have designed SmartSearch, a patented decision support technology that identifies the highest return option trades for their investors. PowerOption also has a publication to help first time investors, covered calls, Aggressive Strategy for the Conservative Investor, which is a self study course that helps teach people like me.

New School Year

I can't believe it's that time of year again, the start of a new school year. My children will be in 8th, 6th, and 3rd grade. My, where has the time gone. I think Cole is looking forward to starting, but not for the classes or schoolwork, he is looking forward to football games and hanging out with his friends. Alli, well it's hard to know what she is thinking as she is Autistic and non-verbal. I think she is looking forward to school however. She likes to keep busy with her ABA program and loves being around her friends. Becca, who is my 3rd grader can't wait to go back. She loves her teacher and she is also anxious to be back with all of her friends. Getting back into the grove of homework and not sleeping in will be hard for all of them. I give them about a week and it will be like they never had a summer break and we will be off and running with what I hope will be a great school year.

Computer Games

Cole seems to be on the internet an awful lot lately playing RuneScape. I do not understand this game at all and I don't see what the fun is in playing it. It seems he can be on the computer for hours playing this game. I tell him he is addicited to it but he doesn't seem to think so. He is good about getting off the computer when we ask him to, but he is also good a sneaking back on at any given moment. His friends all like to play also and I think that is part of what draws him to spend so much time on this game. Hopefully when school starts he won't have much time to play.

Djembe Drums

X8 has exciting news to anyone who is interested in playing djembe drums. X8 has just announced they are importing the finest selections of beautifully handcrafted djembe drums and accessories.

Making Supper

I really didn't know what to make for supper tonight so I just pulled things from my cupboards and started throwing them in the frying pan. Sometimes I have luck doing this and sometimes I don't. We call this experimental suppers. When my husband and son came home and asked what was for supper I got the look of terror because they didn't know what to expect. To our surprise it turned out to be a very good meal, one that I will have to write down and try again some time. I don't think you can go to wrong with a recipe when hamburger is the main ingredient and cream of mushroom soup is used to tie it all together.

Electric Bill

I think we ran our air conditioning pretty much the whole month of July. The mid-west was very hot and humid this past month. We have now moved into August and still have not been able to shut the air off. Our daughter Alli, who is Autistic, does not handle humidity very well. She tends to get very crabby and irritable so running our air conditioning is a must. We received our electric bill the other day and it was just as scary as I thought it would be. It was about $110 more than we would normally pay for our electricity. I sure hope August has less humidity and cooler temps then July did, however as of right now it doesn't look that will be the case.

Brett Farve

Brett Farve, boy has he been in the news lately. I don't think I have watched ESPN, FSN, or Sports Center as much as I have over the last few days (thanks to my husband). I don't understand what the fuss is all about, if the guy wants to play football let him play. Isn't it just that simple? If you don't want him on your team Green Bay release him and let him play elsewhere. If he turns around and kicks your butt in a game this season I guess you will have learned a valuable lesson. I'm not exactly sure what that lesson is, but I'm sure it will be talked about for many football years to come.

80th Birthday

My Grandma just celebrated her 80th birthday yesterday. We are planning a birthday party for her in a couple of weeks. Most of our family will be home to help her celebrate at that time. We are going to have a big bar-b-que and reminisce about the good old days. I know she is missing grandpa, especially at times like these, but I hope she has fun at her party. I pray that her health stays good and that she will be with us for quite a few more years.

Home Health Care

About six months ago my Grandma Wanda suffered a stoke and was hospitalized for two days. When the time came to go home she was still very unsteady when walking and needed to have someone with her at all times. Knowing there are facilities like CareGivers of America, who offer Home Health Care, puts my mind at ease. Having a place that will take care of people so they can stay home is a wonderful thing. CareGivers of America work with families, guardians, insurance companies, case managers, social workers, physicians, and administrators to provide the best possible care for their patients.

Braces

Cole has had his orthodontic appliance for just over a year now and taking care of them is not a top priority for this 13 year old boy. He is now suppose to wear head gear to help move his teeth along with rubber bands. Fighting with him to wear these has been a daily and nightly battle. When I finally do get him to wear his head gear he some how takes it off during the night. He supposedly doesn't know he is doing it. I just keep telling him that if does as he is told by the orthodontist he will not have to wear his braces as long. But what do we know?

Special Education

Alli will be starting 6th grade this year. She is taking that big first step into middle school, which means huge changes for her over the next year. Alli has had the same special education teacher since kindergarten. I have a feeling that adjusting to her new teachers, surroundings, and the kids in her class will take a little getting used to. I am probably more nervous than she is and I am sure the changes will take me awhile to get used to also. Making sure everything goes the way it should for her will be a big priority for me this year. Reaching her IEP goals may be a challenge for Alli until the new building and surroundings become familiar to her. I sure hope she has a good year and doesn't have to much regression with all the progress we have made.

Wedding Favors

Putting personal touches on the wedding of your dreams just got a lot easier with The Knot Wedding Shop. They offer many different wedding supplies and novelty items to make your day, a day to remember. The Knot Wedding Shop is the largest retailer of over 1,000 hard to find wedding items at the best prices available. Cameras, ring pillows, personalized cake toppers, and many unique wedding favors are just a few of the items offered. Brides will have the peace of mind knowing they offer 24 hour service and quick deliveries on those last minute must have wedding necessities to make your day perfect.

Football Camp

Cole will be starting football camp the end of this week. He will be in 8th grade this year and more will be expected of him now that this is his second year playing ball for the school. He hasn't done much for conditioning this summer so I have a feeling he will be one sore kid come Friday afternoon. They had a great year last year losing only one game. I sure hope they do just as well or better.

Gracie Jayne

Gracie Jayne is my brothers little girl. She is 2 1/2 years old and was born with Downs Syndrome. She has had a very hard battle to fight in her short little life. She weighed just over three pounds when she was born and at five months old had open heart surgery due to a hole in her heart. She is sure the little fighter and will be one independent individual as she continues to grow and learn new things everyday. I am really excited to see the person she will become.

As Snug As A Bug



The saying as snug as a bug in a rug doesn't hold more true than when I look at these pictures of Becca. It puts a smile on my face to see her all snuggled up in bed. To look at these pictures again, I still don't know how she got herself so wrapped up in those blankets. I thought for sure when she finally came out of her cocoon that she was going to have butterfly wings on her back.

Pay It Forward

I have never seen the whole movie Pay It Forward, but from what I have seen it has a very good message. That message is, if you do something nice for someone don't ask for anything in return, just ask them pay it forward. Today this saying spoke volumes to me and someday when the time is right I too will pay it forward. Thanks.

Medical Supplies

Diabetes is a medical condition that runs in my family. My grandpa and mom have had this disease for many years now. With my last two pregnancies I was diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes, which means the chance of having type II diabetes is probably inevitable for me. Having the knowledge I do about diabetes I am relieved there are place to purchase diabetic supplies such as test stripes and syringes online from the convenience of home. Allegro Medical has had over one million customers and is one of the largest independently owed online retailers in the United States. They first launched their online store in 1998 selling all types of medical equipment. They have now expanded to include over 55,000 products such as exercise equipment, dietary supplements, outdoor gear, and baby supplies just to name a few of the products they have to offer.

Hudson and Logan



Hudson and Logan are spending the next couple of days with Grandma Kat. It's the time of year when my sister Trisha and her husband Mike take their annual vacation up north for some relaxation and leave the boys with grandma. Becca goes over to help grandma with Hudson and Logan as they can sometimes be a handful. Grandma Kat's quote of the day is "don't babies sleep anymore?" Logan is about 2 1/2 months old and is only taking short little cat naps during the day. Grandma just shakes her head and tells me "when you kids were young you ate, played, and slept for LONG periods of time. Don't babies do that anymore?" she asks me. I just smiled knowing how time clouds our memories. I know she is enjoying her time with them and is looking forward to next years visit.

Sleeping Baby

I really love to watch Dru as she sleeps. There is really nothing more calming than watching her while she is asleep in my arms. It is just so peaceful. I just look at her and I am mesmerized but what god has created for our family. The perfect little girl who just fits right in. I love to watch the adorable faces she makes, especially when she smiles, and the noises Dru makes always puts a smile on my face.

CSN

When it comes to shopping it’s nice to know that there is one place you can go to have all your questions answered, Cable Shopping Network. A place where they educate with enthusiasm regarding the products they have available. Having the trust of their viewers and building a committed relationship is a top priority. At CSN you will receive a shopping experience that compares to no place else. CSN has become one of the most successful retailers of all types of collectibles. Come visit them and see what type of collectibles they have to offer you, such as the presidential dollar coin. CSN welcomes visitors to their corporate headquarters in Scottsdale, AZ where you can witness first hand the passion of Cable Shopping Network. Visit them today by watching them on TV or by checking out their website.

Computer Problems

Tonight I was trying to spice up my new blog by adding pictures of my family to it, but for some reason I was unable to upload pictures due to some kind of internal error. I am not one that has to much computer knowledge and when things don't go my way it can get very frustrating. I like things to work perfect all the time with no complications . Only in a perfect world and I guess we don't live in one. I did talk to someone about the problem I was having and they thought it might have to do with my internet connection. Lets hope that's all it is and they are able to fix it when I call them tomorrow. I sure would like to be able to upload some more picture into my blog.

Losing Teeth

My daughter Becca recently went to visit her dentist for her six month check-up. She is eight years old and was told by her hygienist that she would be losing a lot of teeth real soon. Tonight at supper she lost one of those teeth. It was kinda funny in that all she really wanted to eat was a salad, which was okay because who wants to eat when it is this hot outside. Anyway the rest of us were having a pork chop cooked on the grill which went perfect with our salads. Eventually Becca decides she would like one too just so she could nibble on the bone like the rest of us (we all like to do this cuz it has the best flavor). Well, you can about imagine what happened next, to no one's surprise she starts to cry because her tooth hurts. She obviously bit down on the wrong tooth and oop's it became really loose and dad needed to take it out. Of course it always hurts worse then it actually does but the bigger the scene the bigger the money, or so she thinks. It did bleed an awful lot but it didn't take long to stop. Guess I better let the tooth fairy know she needs to make a stop at our house tonight or I will have one disappointed little girl.

Midwest Auto Recycling

There is nothing more frustrating to me than when my vehicle has a problem. Just last month my husband had problems with this truck that required it being in the shop for a few days. Thank goodness we were able to borrow another truck from his dad or we would have had a long couple of days trying to get from one place to another. It is also maddening when the bill is handed over to you, not only are parts expensive but so is the labor.
