Problem with Fast Food

Is this what our eating habits have come to? It's one thing if one can't help ones weight due to a condition that is out of their control with exception of medical attention. This is scary. What must there bodies be going through in order to support their weight? Look at how tiny thier feet are in proportion to thier bodies....Wow!

Just a Little Solemn

Good morning fellow bloggers. I'm just a tad concerned bout my grandbaby. He has developed a diaper rash. I think it is the diapers. We use Huggies and Pampers. When my children were young like him, they did the same thing. I switched to cloth diapers and it made a huge difference. My daughter, his mom, is picking up some cloth diapers on her way home this evening.

At first, we were thinking it may be his food since he started on his first foods here recently, a few weeks ago. He isn't getting anything that is acidic except for the applesauce which has the vitamin C or ascobic acid. Other than that, he is eating rice cereal, mix cereal, green beans, sweet peas and carrots. We have rotated these few foods and want to slowly introduce him to more. He eats very well and seems to enjoy food! He has that honestly from generations prior!

A Beautiful Week!.....So Far

I have been striving to have a better days seemingly forever! It feels so good to finally accomplish that over the past few days. It is amazing how strong our thoughts can be, how powerful our thoughts are. That old saying, "So a man thinketh, so is he", must be true!

As I mentioned before, I am very prone to depression. Quite naturally, it is not a good feeling. I am the type of person, to do something about it, however, it may take time for me to figure it out. I use to write in a journal many years back. Then I discovered the computer. I love typing....and later blogging. Therapy was a good tool for me, but my therapist is in San Diego. Besides, I have been doing soooo much better on my own. At the time, I was in a really bad position in my life.


Anyway, it just feels good to continue to grow and do better, even when circumstances are not at their greatest. My situation is still not quite out of the woods, but I do have something to work with. My thought is, life is not going to get any easier so I have to teach myself to get stronger. I want to not let my emotions take over. I want to be able to rationalize the situation, do all that I can to rectify it, then move on until the next step. I have plenty of friends that I can call on for support, but I really want to do it on my own. I feel I have made some progress and it feels soooo good!

My GREATEST weakness!

Ok People, this is it, my greatest weakness! Isn't disgusting? I can eat this kind of stuff all day long, every day! Do you know what this does to our body?....the calories, the ingredients! Don't let it be that time of the month!!! I'm sorry to be so blunt, but...but...what can I say??? Then, after I eat it, I feel soooo satisfyingly guilty! ...LOL!

For real, I love them, they are my weakness, but I stay as far away as possible...only have them once in a while......Deliciously horrible!!

We all need love

I really like this picture because to me we are all so different, yet we share the same needs, desires, wants, etc. Sharing and caring is so cool! These days and times, the world is not so forgiving. People are having severely difficult times. I am one of those people that a hug can turn my whole world around. Hugs are so great. I've had hugs that have brought me to tears. It was like all my woes were understood and I wasn't alone anymore even though, in reality, nothing at all had changed. Hugs don't even require words, but can be so powerful!

Thanks, Virtual World Bloggers!

Thank you everyone for your support and comments regarding my blog. :) Your responses were so cool! It really is like putting together your own house, your own personal touches that express who you are! Blogging is something that one can do all day long!

I love learning about the lives of other people. I really think that it is good for us to do that because we, as individuals, tend to feel so isolated even when we are in a room full of people. There is always something within ourselves that we wonder how others feel about it or don't want others to know about, etc. I always feel uplifted when I read the blogs. Whether it takes my mind off of my own issues or just brightens my day, I enjoy the blogs a lot!

Keep sending out all those blogs and supporting each other in one way or a thousand. :)

In a Fog

It has been a extremely busy weekend. It was productive and it went quite smoothly. We were organized with all of our errands and activities. I really enjoyed my time with my boys. They had their dental appointments on saturday. All four of them have had braces and I am on the last one, but they are all paid in full. Afterwards, we made a few stops to pick up a few things like my supplements. We like to look in the pawn shop for "non-violent" video games and DVD movies. Then we drove through Historical Old Town Murrieta. I say "drove" through for two reasons. One it was very hot on saturday and we really did not want to walk in the hot weather. Two, most of the stores were closed which we did not understand because it was saturday mid-day. We were glad that we found out where it was located so we can go back on another day. Finally, we stopped and looked at a new housing community that we had been saying we wanted to look at. Looking at new houses is always fun. Then we came home and rested. Later in the evening, we pulled out some movies and ordered pizza.

Sunday, right before service, I did look after one of my day care kids. She did not feel very well, but she was extremely well behaved. The day went well. I did make it to services where I saw some friends I hadn't seen in a good while.

Unfortunately, my grandson seems to have a sinus infection. My kids were prone to them and got them frequently until I althered their diets with more fruits and veggies. His eyes are seeping and puffy :( and his nose is stuffy. Needless to say he has been quite fussy. He woke up several times last night just briefly, then finally at 4:45 am. Now, of course, he is sleep and I am getting ready to start the day. My daughter, his mom, is taking him to the doctor first thing this morning when she gets home.

This morning, I am fighting a migraine. Not good. I felt it coming on on sunday evening. So, I'm taking care of myself as best I can. If you've ever had a migraine, the two worst symptoms are bright light and noise. I do have some of the blinds closed, but kids will make noise. I usually put cotton in my ears to muffle the noise. When the kids go down for nap, I try to rest my eyes at that time as well. I should be ok today because my daughter will be here to take care of her son.

Otherwise, I am off to a good start for a monday. My dear friend is coming over this evening for a bible study, which I look forward to. I plan to totally relax tonight with a hot bath and an early bed time.

Til later, Happy Monday to everyone
