New diet......uhhh

Well first of all, this is how it all started....get ready. My son Bryan, who has always made bad grades in school, is going to be 15 this Feb. Well, the school is wanting me to come in for ANOTHER conference, (trying to talk me into putting him on medicine for ADHD).....I don't think so! I have never believed in taking pills for anything! So what do I do...I get on the only source i know..the internet..and start researching. ((Well you can't go to the doctor for help anymore..they just prescribe pills!)) I come across a diet plan for ADHD children showing how all these food attitives can cause hyperactiviy in kids and some adults. I get my mind set on this and i warn the family... he he. I tell them "we are going on a diet" well they don't think nothing about it until i tell them we can't have ANY dairy products such as, milk, cheese, butter..ect. or any SUGAR (added) (fruit is fine) or anything with a food coloring added to it or any meat that is processed. They looked at me like i just lined them up and was going to feed them rat soup. They all were whining.."we are going to starve, what else is left to eat? What are we going to drink? how long??? I told them just for 2 weeks and then we bring back one item at a time every couple of days just to see what is causing his so called"A.D.H.D." (i have another name for it...L.A.Z.Y. but the school don't see it that way.) They INSIST he has a brain problem. well anyway before i get to another subject...thats my ADHD i guess...(wheres my medicine anyway?) ha ha..a little funny there. This DIET started today....my boyfried wasn't so happy during lunch at work...ha ha.......ha ha ha. It was so funny!! he called me from work and was laughing...he said "i just opened my lunch box I'm going to starve to death... all i have is nothing!! a bottle of water, ham sandwich with nothing on it but mayo, a pack of fish crackers, apple and a bananna!!!! and what ever that breakfast bar is, yuk!! honey i never even drank coffee this morning..sniff sniff. do i have to do this??" i'm still laughing while he is talking. I told him " I can't believe you guys listen to me...." still laughing. oh shoot!! that is funny stuff. Well he called on his way home and asked if we were eating this evening.....lol...i said yes!!! I'm fixing Chili with peanut butter sandwiches"and a fruit cup.....you would have thought he was getting a golden egg!! he said "REALLY? PEANUT BUTTER??" I really don't know what we are supposed to have or not have but.. they trust me.. I'm giggling as i'm writing this....lol I am mainly cutting back on the dairy, sugar, and the dyes for right now.....Isn't every store bought meat is processed?...i don't know about that one...i guess i didn't research that hard huh?..he he. Oh well i think we have all gotten a good dose of vitamins for today....well i even got my share of water...i never drink water!!...and one and a half cups of coffee..compared to 5 or more a day. Well at the close of the day they are all asleep before 9:30....hmmm i think i'm going to like this diet!

The power of prayer

 We were taught, as kids, to pray for things the we want to see, have or what we want to turn out. So many prayers seem as though they go unanswered but God will only grant you what you see yourself worthy of. Imagination is a powerful thing. Everything we see that was built by man started in a mind first, a dream, or a desire.  God is our father. If I wanted to give my child something they longed for and they turned their head in shame as though they were not worthy of it, it would break my heart. How would I know they really needed it if they didn’t ask for it or seen themselves worthy of having it? Turn to your father, ask for forgiveness, not just because you have done wrong but ask for forgiveness that you feel the shame inside, the regret, the missed opportunities that you gave up. Ask for forgiveness that you never had faith that God was leading you all long and you ignored the blessings because someone told you that you weren’t worthy. Know your worth and give thanks t...

Everyone wants to be rich...Just another complaint session..ha ha

I was watching  " How'd you get so rich" and it got me thinking....ha ha..here I go again thinking.  I really don't think I would want to be rich...yeah maybe have a little extra money to play with, but to be a millionaire or billionaire...no!!  In order to be rich you would have to take money from someone else, like people  who are hard working, living paycheck to paycheck, or people paying for something they will never really own. The Lottery for instance...some people spend several dollars a week on the lottery in hopes to be rich, or just a few dollars richer...they (lottery) are making a killing off of that few dollars a week...The same goes for these gambling places...People spend their whole paychecks on a machine!!! They are not stupid!!...you can't get rich from those machines...but I'll guarantee that they are getting rich from your hard earned money!!! The $100-$200 pair of jeans...come on people don't tell me you spend that on jeans?? ...

I Miss Me!

 It's been almost 6 years since I last wrote about anything.  So much has happened since then.  I love to write, not saying I'm a novelist, (one of my unrealistic goals), but to me, it's the same has having a conversation. I love to talk... about life, dreams, the unknown, how life works and why things happen or exist.  I really enjoy figuring out complex behaviors or solutions to ailments.  Long story short...I think I just enjoy learning and understanding.  Somewhere in the past, I left myself behind.  Who am I now? where did the old me go? why did I change? I would describe my inner self as caring, funny, creative, artist, crafty, fun, talkative, loved to dance, write, talk to anyone kind of woman.  (... that word alone makes me feel old...but 'girl' is too young and "lady" is too proper to describe me lol...Ugg) anyway... I was that person, not so much anymore. I tend to shy away from being outgoing to more reserved or "shadowed" is a better ...
