Last week was a pretty rough week here at my house for people being sick. My youngest son was home sick from school for most of the week and my daughter was home for a couple of days as well. But they both seem to be a lot better and both are back in school. I’m really hoping this is the end of the sickness for both of them for awhile. It’s nice to get it over with before the Christmas season.

For the past couple of months my husband has been not feeling very well. But he refuses to go to the doctor. I have been at him about this on a daily basis, but nothing seems to get him going. He could need something simple such as colon cleansers or it could be a little more serious. But if he won’t got to the doctor, then we might not know. Hopefully I can talk him into going soon and soon he will be feeling well again.

I have been a smoker for over 30 years and have decided that it’s time to quit. Last night I seen a commercial on TV for an electronic cigarette and thought that was pretty cool. I wonder if there is such a thing as electronic cigars. But no matter what I plan on quitting. I think I’m going to do a little more research on these electronic cigarettes to see if they would work for me. And if I think they will, I’m going to give it a try. Thirty years of smoking is just way…. to much.

So I really don’t have to find out how to lose weight super fast, but I have been trying to gain weight lately. I am 20 pounds underweight and this is affecting my health. So for the past couple of months I have been trying to do everything I can think of to gain weight. Well my efforts are finally paying off. Since I’ve started my weight gaining journey I have put on five pounds!! So… I guess I’ll keep doing what I’ve been doing and hopefully put on the next 15 pounds in super fast time.

Last night I was doing some research on the Internet. I was actually looking for life insurance companies but kind of stumbled across a site that was advertising for disability insurance. Although I’m not in need of this type of insurance right now, I did bookmark this site as some of my family are and you never know when a person might need this type of information. The site was very informative and actually made me sit up and take notice about how much work really does go into trying to obtain this type of insurance. So… if I’m ever in need of help applying for disability insurance, I have already found a great resource to help me out.

It’s amazing how quickly kids grow up now isn’t it?! My daughter is now 12 but some of the things she says and does makes me wonder if she isn’t a teenager already. Last night she asked me if I would purchase her some acne cream for the ONE pimple she has on her face. I had to laugh at this. Honestly if one pimple is going to bother her, I can’t imagine how she is going to react to life later on down the road. Oh well… I guess they all grow up sooner or later right?? I just wish it was later rather than sooner.

Well last month I thought I was going to have to hand out some birth announcements of my own. That’s right folks, I thought I was pregnant! The reason why this was a “tiny” (I mean huge) scare for me is because my baby is 10 and I will be 43 on my next birthday. Just for these reasons alone, I really, really didn’t want to be pregnant. So you can imagine my extreme relief when this didn’t come to pass. Holy smokes, I hope I never have to have a scare like that in my lifetime.

My son is in grade 5 but looks like he is in grade 3. He is 10 years old and still wears size eight pants. Up until this year his size didn’t bother him but this year it is starting to bother him because all of the boys in his class are almost twice his size. Last night he was talking about human growth hormones. I think he seen it on TV. I have told him not to worry about it as he will eventually grow. But I think it is really starting to get to him.

I don’t know what is taken place in my body these days. I have been feeling so run down lately that I have decided I need to do something about it. I don’t need any Appetite suppressant diet pills but I think I may need to invest in some vitamins again. Lately I have been feeling exhausted all the time and it really doesn’t matter how much sleep I get, this feeling never goes away. I’m hoping that with vitamins I may find my energy once again.

Any advice on which vitamins would be the best?

My daughter is not feeling well today and I have half an idea it’s because of the heat. The past few days have been extremely hot and unbearable and I really have to wonder if her illness has to do with all this warm weather. I’ll just have to keep an eye on her and make her rest. Hopefully it’s just a little sickness due from the heat and not something more serious. Oh well these things happen so I guess we will just have to somehow get through it. She has asked me to get her some treatments for bad breath but I think a little bit of Advil and some rest will probably do the trick.
