Christmas Crafts

This year I wanted to try to be more home made for Christmas. I figured it be a great way to bond with the kiddos. So far we've made cinnamon ornaments and orange pompous. Both are supposed to smell yummy.

I wasn't right there on top of it knowing the oven cooks high I should have been. So everything came out over cooked. But it was such fun anyway!

I do have to say putting glitter on was a big mess....still finding glitter a week later!

Having a hard time

I have been depressed lately. I got off my healthy eating habits and haven't found my way back. I even gained weight....again. I feel so discouraged. All I do is stuff junk in my face.

My step sister had her baby. I'm excited to meet him. But I can't shake this childish jealous feeling. How everyone has come together (her mom and dad and step mom) but they wouldn't do the same for me. Her step mom aka my mom doesn't like her real mom...but they come together for her. Every birthday party I have had for 11 years (3 kids) I have to chose who to invite. My mom or my dad. I couldn't even invite my dad to my wedding. I didn't think it was an option....I'm sure it wasnt.

Another thing on my mind .....my family went to a cook out at their lake (moms) house and my kids were young. They had us eat outside because they didn't want my k8ds to mess up anything.

Things are better now. But I wish I could shut my feelings off.  Not care that I'm not close to my family.

I have had so many chances to review things over the last week! It's become my favorite past time. I'm still new to this Reviewsio site but I'm excited to try! The bigger your network the more points you can get. Get products for discount and review it!

If this one isn't for you I have others.

Breast reduction 6wks post op

After getting over bronchitis it seems I started healing 100xs faster. The places that were taking weeks and weeks to heal seems to be healing overnight. I credit that to making sure to badge and using lots of vasiline. There are many things I wish I did different that no amount of research I done prepared me for. I love have my breast smaller but I truly believe that after so long of suffering with large breast I hate mine. Even the size they are now I wish I could have gone smaller. I already am getting new stretch marks from the weight of my knockers. Im terrified that my boobs will end up sagging. With the swelling finally going down they are no longer tight and now I think I need more supportive sports bras.

I don't regret the surgery though.

Gym membership

I have been doing awful dieting. I can't stand that I find myself mindlessly eating. I am not alone atleast. My FB group has several people strugglin in it. So I'm determined to stay positive and not to let things keep me down. I've talked to my husband and I really want to get a gym membership. Some day next week I should have it.

I can't wait!

Product Review is awesome!

I found a new hobby and I love it! I have gotten so many things so far spending under $25. The one that cost me the most is a Carbine Men's Ring for $10. Most things cost under 2$ or even FREE!

Including ebooks 

This isn't even half of what I've gotten.

All I have to do is leave a review on Amazon.

How cool is that?!

Time to homeschool

After years of debating on whether I should or shouldn't I've overcome my fears (being a SAHM now helps) and am ready to take the steps to home school my little fireball. This has been a long time coming. He's missed countless days of school. We couldn't leave the house and have been a one person working family in fear that the school would call and we would have to get him.

I know one person (a dear friend) expressed her concerns i shouldnt have to homeschool because the public school fail. I don't think they failed. We have made so many trips there we are regulars. We have talked to councilors, teachers, social workers, principals. He has an IEP.  He has outside councilors, therapist, and psychologist. We've tried medicine, changed his meds, added meds, and increased  his dose. I really feel I've tried everything.

I had one person tell me it's not for me. At first I was really sensitive. I feel people think I'm not good enough. I know I am. I've always been a teacher to my kids.

In thinking about this decision I took into account that one on one he is awesome. He loves to learn new things. By himself there is no problem. When he's around others you never know what sets him off.

We will see though.

Happy November 1st

After I was doing so well today marks a week I can't seem to find my self on track. If all goes well I hope I can get a gym membership. Somethings got to give. My 10 year anniversary is in August I would like to renew my vows. Wish me luck.

In a brighter note thanks to halloween I got plenty of exercise. As I'm sure most of us did! However, I got a arm work out too when my son clogged my parents toilet! I worked it for half an hour screaming everytime poop water hit my arms and hands "this is sooo nasty."  I never did get it unclogged.

My boys. I can say that next year no mask. They took them off while trick or treating.

I'm excited to say that I just started becoming a product tester! I get my first shipment November 3rd! I get to keep the product for a discounted price and all I have to do is review it! How great is that!

I'm sorry I jump from subject to subject without a smoother transition. I have a hard time writing. My thought process just goes cold. 

Well Happy November 1st!
