Goodbye...

This is my last blog here. I couldn't figure out how to add links how I wanted here, so I searched for other blog sites. I found this new one the be easier to figure out. Maybe it's just me and my lack of knowledge on here but oh well I switched.
Here's my new blog.

Not so bad...

I'm alive. I made it through showing my makeup to ladies...umm two ladies. lol I wasn't really expecting many ppl, I've learned from experience;) At least this is my own business though so I don't have to worry about finding ppl to join me!yuck! If they like then great and if they don't... oh well! I made enough well worth going, soI can't complain.
I can't believe tomorrow is already Friday! Hope everyone is done with this virus now, they seem to be. We are going to try out a new church this weekend, it's called Cornerstone, it's the same name as the one in Ames only it's in Boone. I believe there's no relation between the two. Oh I hope it's good!!!! The other Cornerstone we loved except they were not a child friendly service :( We gained so much from their services, but I would get paged out every time and soon as I made it to the nursery(which was fast) L was crying hysterically. I couldn't leave her there anymore and could not stand sitting in their family room or cafe it was sooooooo boring. I could just watch a service at home in my pj's if I wanted to watch it on tv. Ya know?

Nervous

This afternoon I am meeting with a lady or some ladies from Phil's work and showing them my makeup. I hope they don't expect me to be an expert :-S I am far from it! I have been reading up on make-up tips and will practice some on myself today. Hopefully the kids cooperate, Jazmyn keeps saying she is sick, I thought it was maybe because I had to wake her up to drive Phil to work and she was too tired. She's been laying on the couch all morning and well now is asleep. She was gagging for a bit but I gave her some Nux Vomica, for some reason that remedy ALWAYS helps her when she is nausea. Yay!
Anyways, I hope I can sell some makeup, I'm giving them a discount but it will just make up for shipping cost, so we both win :) I was reading some application tips and one stood out to me. Whenever I exercise and have makeup on my face it starts burning and I breakout, so upon reading I discovered I must be allergic to the zinc oxide or just allergic when sweating. I will have to add some finishing silk to my foundation to low the levels of zinc when applying. Maybe that's one reason I keep breaking out, I'm sure there are many others too though.
This may be off topic but oh well.... I got a call from my BIL(sister's h.) yesterday and he had split a cow with a friend and then had it processed in to ground beef, steaks and such...but my sister keeps biting into grissel(sp?) or something and refuses to eat it(sounds like me!) So he wanted to give it to us if we wanted it! Heck ya! I think I can work around the grissel or whatever it is(bone???) for a free pasture fed cow. He said it was very lean meat, don't even need to drain it when cooking. So excited! What a blessing :)
Okay better go practice putting my face on :-/

On Guard!

I was putting Londyn's diaper in the dirty laundry and saw mouse poop! At least that's what I think it is, I did not inspect it to rule out anything else. I just want to forget I ever saw it! I love Fall except when those evil little critters start looking for a warm home for winter.
Phil and the girls better just get their snow suits on now, because if they are thinking about choosing our warm cozy home, I will turn the heat off! mwahahaha!
Okay, not really. It did cross my mind for a split second though! You would think growing up in the country would have conditioned me to seeing mice. Nope.
I wasn't always a scaredy cat of them, but I had this crappy job at a restaurant/ gas station, with an alcoholic for a boss who was more worried about his next beer run instead of keeping the place clean. Mice infestation is an understatement to describe that place and it has haunted me forever!! Thankfully, the place has new owners and it's cleaner, after my boss(manager) ran the old owner out of business by not paying the bills and gas getting cut off. A gas station doesn't thrive well in those conditions. lol
So, you all will know if I do indeed see a mouse, because I will be sitting here in the chaise with my feet up and giving play by play updates. The kids may have to just fend for themselves! rofl! At least, I'm not 9months pregnant this year and stuck in the chaise, last year was a nightmare. It's not easy for a pregnant women to limit her bathroom & kitchen trips because a mouse is taunting you behind the door that you have to walk by in order to get anywhere in the house.
**sigh**
Pray for me! :P

Sprouted Grain?

The "book" I'm reading about sugar(see previous post) is big on meat so that's good! Also, frowns on the sweeter fruits and breads that feed the sugar cravings. She linked this site https://www.foodforlife.com and talks about sprouted grain to replace flour. Has anyone tried it? The location finder shows it's available at several places around the Boonies...including my usual HFS. Thanks to B for those encouraging words of a two week success story and grainy bread.Rofl! I DO need to just get it over with! I definitely don't want my kids dealing with this down the road. I know I will hear from many people that I'm crazy or they will just tell me to just cut back, but I've realized I'm so sensitive to it, I have to just quit. It's like telling a smoker who's trying to quit to just have half a cigarette a day and don't even think of finishing that other half. Been there too! Only it is much easier quiting smoking, for me anyways. I've only been on high doses processed sugar for 24 yrs!

Anyways,I might have to learn how to be a better cook or we all might just starve.

Clothes,Clothes, & More Clothes

Today is going to be such a busy busy day! Besides all the normal daily things like dishes, laundry,pick up house, cooking,dishes, laundry, pickup house, cook....(do you see a pattern?)lol I have to go through the girls clothes and find winter clothes and put away summer clothes. Blah! I'm glad I don't have 5 kids to do ;) Not yet anyways :-S I'm hoping they have more winter clothes than I think, I don't want to fork out that much money for a season of clothes.lol Frugal? NO! Phil and I need a little update on our closet too. I was asking Phil the other day what he wanted me to pack for him for our trip to osky....he mentioned he wanted his new pair of jeans and some shirt.
What NEW pair of jeans? Then he said you know the ones you just got me. HUH? Well the ones I "just" got him were from LAST Christmas(gift). hahaha! I was laughing so hard, we are pathetic. We don't even realize how long we've had our clothes until moments like that.

So anyways I have that fun stuff to do. Then on top of it, I'm suppose to keep the girls busy during the day so they are sooo worn out by evening they will want to go to bed at 8pm, so I'm told. The shouldn't be full of energy at 6:30 or some nights 8:30 when their Daddy comes home. They just need to eat supper,baths, and go to bed. Then I could play my golf games all night long uninterrupted. Yes!
It's not as easy as one would think..ya know. They usually wake up 7:30-8:45 (9today) and L naps once or twice a day, but that's it. Any ideas to burn some energy off??? (note: I don't have a car to go anywhere so anything involving travel won't work.) We go to the park about everyday for about 45min to an hour. Maybe if I had some craft supplies I could keep them busy. I will just have them run laps around the house. lol! It would be interesting to see "someone" else do this and keep up with the house work. Okay vent over.

I think Jaz is missing her cousins...she keeps talking about them. Poor girl! :(
I feel bad for her.
Hope everyone has a good day!!!!

NoT ToDaY!

I was going to not have sugar today, but I failed and made no-bake cookies this afternoon. I think I'm just going to have to wait until AFTER the holidays to go completely gluten free diet. I think for now I will just try to extremely limit and then completely cut out my sweets. It's going to take a lot of work finding completely gluten free recipes, so I'll just slowly cut back maybe it will make it less work and dramatic detox. *sigh* I wish sugar didn't make me so sensitive and too bad I didn't know this back in school, I might have been a better student. Oh well can't change then ...only now. Hopefully I can find inexpensive gluten free recipes that stay in our low grocery budget!
Okay well off to make supper!
