I swear to god the older I get, the more acne and pimples I get. I never, ever had this problem as a teenager growing up and I guess maybe this is why it bothers me so much. I spend so much money on creams and lotions that it’s starting to get a bit ridiculous. It seems like every year this acne problem pops up in a different place. All I need to do is find acne on the neck and I will be all set. Part of this problem I think is due to the winter dry weather that we get around here, so hopefully within the next month or so my acne problems will calm down. I certainly hope so, I’m starting to look like one big pimple.

Yesterday was the first day in over a week that I actually had the day to myself. For the past week I’ve had a least one kid home from school either due to sickness or school storm days. Well yesterday I thought we had finally got back on track. Both kids went back to school and I was able to have a me day. I got lots of work done and was looking forward to finishing up things today. Well… that isn’t going to happen. Today I have my son home from school sick so there won’t be much getting done today. Oh well, at least I had one day to myself.

This is going to be a really quick post today. I am seriously sick with the flue and as soon as I’m done typing I’m going to lay down. So I hope you all are having a great non sick day and I’ll talk to you all very soon.

For the past three days I have been seriously suffering with a major headache. I know what the problem is, and it’s not going to be a cheap fix. I need to get my eyes tested and am pretty sure that I’m going to have to purchase new glasses. But with just buying a new car and having to have money for Christmas, I just can’t afford to do that right now. So for the next little while I’m just going to have to sit back and suffer. But, in the new year I am going to get my eyes tested and hopefully stop having these brutal headaches EVERY DAY.

About a month ago I went to the doctor and he was not very impressed with the amount of weight I lost. So he threatened me. He told me that if I didn’t start gaining he was going to admit me to hospital to build me back up. Well you can bet that I didn’t want that to happen so I’ve started to eat more. I am happy to report that I have gained 2 of those pounds back again. I do plan on gaining a lot more than that, but for now 2 lbs is good. I have been looking up recipes on the Internet (no I don’t have to pay attention to any diet pill reviews) and have found several recipes that I would like to try out. So hopefully soon (fingers crossed) I will be able to report that I’ve gained many, many more pounds.

That’s right guys. The children and my lovely husband have passed on their illness. Yesterday I wasn’t feeling the best, but today I feel like total crap! I even tried to eat something, but that didn’t really work out in my favor. Oh well, if this takes a while to get over then I really won’t have to invest in a weight loss diet pill now will I??? Well all I’m going to do is finish posting on all my blogs. Then I’m going to turn off the computer for the rest of the day and try to get some rest. Hopefully I’ll be better by Sunday as I do have to work a small shift that day. Really who wants a waitress that is sick?? Not me.

I have decided that now is the time for me to think about quitting smoking. I have been a smoker for almost 30 years so I think it’s probably time that I kick this habit. I don’t have to worry about quitting smoking cigars as the only thing I smoke is cigarettes. But I know this is going to be one habit that is going to be hard to break. I plan on buying a box of the patches and going from there. Hopefully soon I’ll be able to post that I’m a non smoker. It sure will be different.

I really do despise winter. Not only do I hate the snow and the cold, but with all this dry air weather, I get really bad acne as well. I tend to spend a fortune on acne treatments and it’s normally only during the winter months. I don’t know if this is because the air is dryer or if it’s because of the cold. But I can tell you when winter has arrived, it’s about the same time as when my face breaks out. So… for about the next four months, I will be suffering through some sever acne moments. Then when the spring season arrives, hopefully I will have clearer skin for a few months.

Well the kids have only been in school for a week and my youngest son is sick once again. I don’t know if this happens to him all the time because he is around kids at school that are sick or if it’s because he has to go out in the early mornings to catch the bus and it’s quite cold here in the mornings. Whatever the reason is, he is always sick the first week of school. So later today I have to head out to the drug store to purchase all kinds of cold and flue products. This trip I won’t be searching for the best diet pills or anything like that. But I know it’s going to be an expensive trip. Oh well, school is once again in session and that means my youngest (especially him) will need all this medicine sooner rather than later.

Let me tell you all that I was not really pleased to turn on my TV on Saturday. First of all I had heard that Farrah Fawcett died and then heard of Michael Jackson’s death. This two events were tragic enough in their own right, but having both deaths on the same day, really made me think. I really have to wonder when we are going to start to hear about good things happening to people. I’m so sick of hearing about mesothelioma, death and disease all the time. I realize that everyone has to die at one point or another, but honestly what ever happened to people dieing of natural causes?? Does that even exist any more? I really do think it’s about time we heard some good news for a change.
