Sad About Moving?

24 hours from now, we will know whether we will be packing up our family and moving north in a few weeks.  It's making me a little sad now.  Before I wanted out of this town, but now that it is likely to happen, it's easier to see some of the good that we'd miss. 

We were going to take a family picture at the stable with everybody up on horses for our recycled Christmas cards. If we move, and move our two horses with us, we won't have the rest of the stable horses to put the kids on.

I'm getting a bit sad.

Love the Kid Anyway

Ha!  I just found a deep wrinkle cream that should appease my daughter who enjoys poking at and squeezing my cheeks because she says they are "squishy" and pointing out the wrinkles on the bridge of my nose.

Isn't it amazing that no matter what your child says or does, you will always love them beyond anything imagineable?  It is a good thing moms are programmed that way because squishing my cheeks wasn't very nice! 

Gotta love them.  Really, you have to.

Disadvantage of Working at Home

I never thought this would happen but being a mom working at home has its disadvantages.  I recently found one.  Yes, I can work in my pajamas, multi-task between work, cleaning, reading, etc. and make my own hours, but getting around the kids sometimes can be difficult when they're home.

I needed to research male enhancement reviews but how can I do that with a kid looking over my shoulder? Yup, there's a kid over my shoulder!  Good thing it was my younger child and not my teenage daughter who would've freaked out and gone all embarrassed and mortified on me. 

Teen Criticizes Mom's Face

My teenage daughter was investigating my face yesterday.  Just what I want - a teenager who is fit and wrinkle-free criticizing me!  Apparently, my cheeks are "squishy" and I have lines on my forehead.  Do you think I told her that SHE probably put them there all these years? 

She thought the squishy cheeks were cute but that I needed the best wrinkle serum for the wrinkles.  I turn 39 in a few weeks.  It's only gonna get worse!  It's not like I am going to start aging backwards!

Do you use fat burners?

I am researching fat burners and found a review site for lipo 6 hers - a female fat burner. We all know men and women's metabolism and hormones are vastly different.  This has both a rapid release and extended release so the effects last longer. 

Has anybody used fat burners?  What do you think about them?  Did they work?  What were some of the side effects?  Would you use them again?

Hypoglycemic

Well, if I keep forgetting to eat, it'll make up for my stress eating I do in the afternoon I guess.  I forgot to eat breakfast - again.  I don't realize it until I start feeling sick (hypoglycemic).  Not exactly healthy, eh? 

My husband said that is prohibiting me from losing weight, along with my thyroid, because I'm not keeping my metabolism going.  He said I should be eating many small deals starting with breakfast. 

If I could lose the weight through my thighs, figure out how to lose the belly fat and a little weight loss through my face, I'd be happy.  The weight around the middle is the worst!  There's a "how to" at www.losebellyfathowto.com that gives reviews on supplements if you're interested.

Stress Eating

Well, relocation to another state is looking more and more likely and it's likely to happen sooner than we imagined.  In about three weeks' time, I could be packing up four kids, five dogs, and two horses and moving us to another state. 

I am seriously stressing!  How am I doing to do this all by myself?  I can see me adding another 20 pounds in stress from stress-eating over the next month!  I can do this - with or without an appetite suppressant, lol. Maybe the stress will actually burn more calories for me and make up for the extra stress eating.

Smoking Appeal

I'm a mom so I worry about my children starting to smoke young. At a festival a couple weeks ago, we saw a teenager pretending to smoke. She looked ridiculous!  I know kids think they look cool but they really don't.  I thought I looked cool too so I understand.  Then today, there was an advertisement outside of a store for cigars and they were completely wrapped in bright colors - they looked like popsicles.  At least, that is what my five-year-old daughter thought they were when she asked if we could go back and get some popsicles. 

An adult can make the choice whether they smoke or not.  They're adults.  Whatever the product - Acid cigars or any of the others, adult's choice.  I just don't like seeing kids get interested and thinking they look "cool" or putting them in pretty packages that kids like.
