Stress Is Real, Mom’s at Work

I watch my aunt rush from meeting to meeting, activity to activity. You can never get more than 30 minutes of quality, non-rushed time with her. I love talking to her. She has great insights and knows her stuff. Definitely a person you’d love to hang out with so her knowledge can rub off on you.

I wonder if she feels stressed. I do, just watching her I feel tension. As she says I can only stay for a few minutes I cringe. I don’t do nearly as much as she does and yet I know I am stressing.

How do I know when I am totally stressing out? Well, I used to be a work at home mom and I thought that was stressful until my husband told me to get a real job that will make us more money.

When I began working outside of the home 5 years ago I only had 15 lbs to get rid of, no white hairs, no itching skin and rashes, and no pimples that I could hardly control.

Today, I started seeing white hairs. My skin is constantly itching, dry and cracked. I don’t have time to are for myself.

I stayed home for 2 weeks during the winter break. During which time I got rid of all the pimples on my body, scalp and face. The itching that would happen on a daily basis vanished. I woke up at 9am in the morning with no where to rush to. I slept before 10pm at night without tossing and turning worrying about tomorrow’s deadlines and projects.

I didn’t have to get everyone ready for school, get myself ready for work, cook dinner rushed and doing kids homework all while trying to get the laundry done, light house cleaning and everything else you can imagine could happen in a day.

I worked in my garden. I built a new cd rack. I put up a new wall. All the things that lingered in my mind was now being realized.

I never realized that I was under stress. People mentioned it on tv and at work. I couldn’t figure out what a stressful person would look like. Actually, I thought of my mother. But me, no, not me.

I was wrong. So, get rid of stress to save yourself the agony later.

 

Mila Chia Personal Results

The directions says 2 tbsp daily.  I poured 2 tbsp into a guava juice I ordered yesterday at a restaurant, I didn’t realize how much 2 tbsp was.  It looked gross.  It turned my pink guava juice into a brownish pudding like substance.  I thought, “oh no, I just ruined my $3 guava juice.”

I had to drink it, the waitress looked at me oddly.  I drank it immediately.  I started to get full on the glass of guava juice and didn’t yet start eating my breakfast.  Oh no, was I going to waste my order of breakfast.  I was glad to find that I didn’t feel like helping my husband with his side order of pancakes.  Normally I can help him eat half of his pancake side order.  This time I could only take a small bite and I was finished.

Of course, I ate my breakfast, but, I didn’t feel like eating more like i would normally do on these occasions.  I knew my limits and stopped there.

 

Mila Chia Stops Food Cravings?

I’ve been counting on the Ultimate Thermofit pill by ItWorks marketing to help curb my appetite for sweets, carbs and more food.  At first, I think it was doing a good job,  I lost 5 pounds in 2 weeks, pretty good for a woman over 35 who does not exercise, until the Holiday season of course.  I started eating more food.  Expanded my stomach and well, now I feel hungry all the time.

During the break I tried promoting the body wrap product to an aunt of mine, she in turn promoted the Mila Chia to me.  I took no thought about it, never heard of it in my life, not even the word Chia and declinded her free sample.  Besides, I was already using my body wrap and it was doing fine for me.

The new year began and I noticed that my in home body wraps and the Ultimate Thermofit were not curbing my appetite.  I felt as if they were failing me.  I think I needed to put the Fat Fighter pills back into my daily regimen.  Something I took out of my daily vitamin pack.

I remembered my aunt talking about the Mila Chia and how it can stop food cravings.  I called her to ask if she would still offer me a free sample.

 

Why Husbands Hate to Listen to Their Wives

I don’t really understand it. My husband and I have been married for 11 years. He has gotten used to turning my voice off when I speak. If I ask him to help me with something there is always a negative reason why we shouldn’t do it. Most of the time I end up doing it myself and then get his remarks about how it was done wrong.

Well, if he was there to help in the first place he wouldn’t have to be correcting it.

Why do I write these personal stories? To let other women and wives know that you are not the only one. In some relationships, it’s worse. I should be glad it doesn’t amount to anything physically abusive.

So why do we, women, continue to make this work even when we know that all is lost at this point?

I’ll be back to answer that later.

 

MMA Kills Dreams & Relationships

Before my husband found out that MMA can be watched daily, everynight from 5pm till late into the night it has killed his real purpose in life, following his dreams.

Before all of this, he would read his books and considered quiet time to think, plan and move ahead in his business.  But now, as soon as he gets home from work its another round of all night MMA episodes.  Then, he puts the computer on to the MMA main site and reads stats or watches shows during the commercial breaks.e on the

This unhealthy dose of 5 hour watching, non-stop, is killing first of all his dreams and our relationship.  He can hardly speak to me.  I ask him a quick question and he doesn’t even hear me speak.  I’ll ask 3 times before he finally realizes I am there.

Every night he falls asleep in the living room while watching MMA.  Do you think this kind of relationship healthy for us?  I try to ignore it, I know he needs his space, but it seems overbearing that this is done nightly for the past 2 years.

Yes, we don’t sleep in the same bed.  Only to have _ex, you know what I mean.  In the beginning I felt hurt.  I’ve learned to just brush it off and say, well at least I don’t have to stay up all night as he snores into my ears or takes all the blanket when he curls over to his side of the bed or push his heavy hands off me when he accidentally rolls over in his sleep.  And, I don’t need to snore in his ears as well.

 

Betty Crocker Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix Review

The Betty Crocker Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix is the bomb. So easy to make for those non-savvy, baking moms that most people are used to. On, Thanksgiving day, I loved the quite feeling around my home. I’m not a cook. I hate holiday parties. Thanksgiving this year was wonderful. I got out my Betty Crocker Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix, added one egg, and a stick of melted butter and mixed.

I was surprised, it was so easy. I put 6 balls onto the pan of my toaster oven for 10 minutes and vuala. Warm, melting chocolates, fresh from the oven.

had it with milk. and went to sleep.

i’m proud of myself. I didn’t over stuff myself with the food they made at dinner time. I was satisfied before I left home.

good idea to stop eating too much at a holiday dinner.

Vanish Pimple Overnight

Wow! I am totally amazed.  Last night, before I went to bed I had one of those large pimples on my forehead.  You know the one that is just a bump and has no puss in it.  The kind you can pop because there is nowhere for it to come out.

I know, sounds gross, but I’ve been getting those within the past 3 days.  Does that happen to anyone else?  You get a brand new facial cleanser.  It works wonders for 1 1/2 months or 2 and all of sudden all hell breaks loose and it doesn’t work anymore.

Well, I have that problem if you don’t.  it’s irrazz, you no irritating.

Anyway, back to the eye sore on my forehead, or look at me bump, I’m ready to burst.  Did I mention about the Anion sanitary napkins that I’ve been using?  Anyway, it’s like a “miracle cure-all pad”  no, seriously.  They said it can help so many ailments.  One things for sure, I no longer smell fishy, if you know what I mean.  I’ve been looking for some panty liner to help me get rid of the vaginal smell, but all it does is linger, and baby powder smell is gross.

Okay, back to the story.  So, they said. to take the green liner out of the pad.  The green stuff is the “negative ion” or should i say it has negative ions in it.  I cut a piece big enough to fit on my pimple.  Then, I got a bandaid and placed it right on my forehead.  I didn’t care.  Who’s there to impress anyway.  ONLY my husband!

What was there to loose anyway?  It wasn’t some harsh chemical, that could cause some kind of a nasty side reaction.  It wasn’t anything.  Just a piece of cloth held to my forehead with a bandaid.

Results:  Got up in  the morning and “tadda”, opened the bandage and it had shrunk.  To the size of like a just gotten mosquito bite.  I was in amazement.  Something like this would have taken at least a week to go away, not considering the humiliation I’d feel in public view and the dark circle it would cause in immediate area.

I am sold.  This is a “MIRACLE PAD“.

iF YOU WANT SOMe just join my blog and send me your information.  I’ll give you a few for free to try for yourself.  I won’t be going back to always sanitary napkins again.

if you still don’t believe me I made a video of myself.  I still need to edit it, that’s how fresh this is.

 

Anion Sanitary Napkin

Has anyone heard about the Anion Sanitary napkin?  I just went to a presentation last night and thought it to be a “wonder pad”.  There were true and wonderful testimonials about the product.

Here are some of the Anion Sanitary napkin, also known as Love Moon,claims:

* It can hold more than 8 oz of liquid- I personally saw it hold way more than that

* It can help heal boils- Yep, the woman presenting  had a boil which went away in a week

* It can last more than 4 hours.

* It makes you feel dry

* the negative ion in the bad can help extract bacteria it will help to make the vaginal smells go away

* it can help with detoxing the body

UPDATE:  May 13, 2009

Okay, so i used the pad to help with a pimple on my head, that went great.  Then, it takes away the fishy smell, yes and makes me feel dry when normally I smell like, well fish.

Then, I just had my period and found out that it works really well with the absorption, the smell and the menstrual cramps.  Did I mention the most wonderful thing of all?

Well, normally when I use always sanitary napkins or kotex I get a rash on my thighs as it rubs on the sanitary napkin.  I hate having my period, I was considering changing to a tampon, but then I have a contraceptive up there and I wasn’t sure how that would work.

Anyway, the love moon sanitary napkin did not leave a rash or make me itch like I’ve been feeling for the past 15 years.  The rash is gone and I am so happy, I could tolerate my period again and I didn’t have to suffer with the itching and rashes.

Yippee!!!, I’m not going back to always sanitary napkins unless it was the last thing on the earth to use.

 

Safe! Eco-friendly Home Products

I am so excited.  I love my meleleuca products.  I recently ran out of those handy, tough and tender, multi-purpose wipes and missed it so much.  My children loved wiping the sink and windows because it made things so clean.

Not only did they do a good job wiping, as a mother, I felt safe with them handling the product.  The dirt was easily wiped away with no scrubbing involved and everything smelt fresh and clean.  (Whatever that smells like to you).

You should definitely try these products.  It’s a winner in my book.
