Betrayed~

Cleaning out the closets

That's what I feel like I need in my life right now- a good cleaning! A few months ago I had 'cleaned' up my health; I was eating clean; had cut sugar and all refined crap carbs from my diet, was drinking gallons of water, taking daily vitamin's, Working out and Loving it, and just over all feeling positive and loving life. Now I am back to eating like poo, no exercise, and surrounding myself with negative people in my life. So today is a good day to sweep out the cobwebs. So today is my Jan 1st.... I resolve to: Stop eating sugar...all forms of it....especially the FAKE stuff ( man thats bad for you..read up on what they make it with...) Start srinking 10+ glasses of water a day.... Take my vitamins Exercise everyday...No excuses Surround myself with ONLY positive people...period Get back to church...stop making excuses and FIND ONE!!! Start making time for my kids...quality time :<) Anyone care to join me?

Pink is my Favorite Color

OK ladies although it is nearing the end of the Month; Breast cancer Awareness Month that is...it is always to be aware of your breast health. Here are some important factoids: Only 5-10 percent of breast cancers are hereditary. This means we have a lot more control over our risk than we previously thought. The National Breast Cancer Foundation estimates that each year, over 200,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and over 40,000 die. One woman in eight either has or will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. Approximately 1,700 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 450 will die each year. The odds of getting the disease do increase as you age. But breast cancer can occur at any age. That's why all women need to be vigilant. Though experts recommend yearly mammograms starting at age 40, your doctor may suggest that you start even earlier if you have a family history of breast cancer at a young age. About 1 out of every 7 women will get breast cancer over a 90-year life span. The Good news: By doing all steps – monthly breast self-exams, annual clinical exams and annual mammograms starting at the age of 40 – you give yourself the best chance to live your best life possible. More than 95% of women whose breast cancer is caught in its earliest stages will be healthy and disease-free within 5 years after their diagnosis and treatment. Here are a couple of great informative websites for you- Please Ladies also take a moment to click on the link below to give someone a Free Mammogram- So think Pink and lets help FIND A CURE!! http://www.thebreastcancersite.com/clickToGive/home.faces?siteId=2 http://www.liv.com/ http://www.nationalbreastcancer.org/How-To-Help/

My song of the week

This is the best blues buster!! Just picture yourself on the beach sippen a drink :<) Its called I'm Yours ~ by Jason Mraz Enjoy

Life is getting tough

It always seems to get sorta rough this time of year for us. No visible pattern as of yet, just seems like the ends get harder and harder to reach this season. It also gets compounded by depression on my part. I hate being broke during the holidays. I could care less if we had no money in the summertime; I mean heck we have the pool what more could we need? But in the winter time? No no...there is so much to do...and it all takes money it seems..Or does it??? I think its all in ones perception..I have a lovely house..whose payments are pretty much current, I have a great husband ( most of the time), 4 healthy happy kids, pets that I love, my own health...I have 90% of the Christmas shopping done and wrapped, and I am craft Mama !! So there it is..... When I'm blue I just look at this face to cheer me up.......

Theres No place like Home....

I sewed this the day of the dance....Meet Dorothy! (notice the little sister in the background please)
