Here is a song I can't get out of my head today!

I guess that is I feel that way about the world some times!

Black Eyed Peas - Where Is The Love

What's wrong with the world mama?
People living like aint got no mamas
I think the whole worlds addicted to the drama
Only attracted to the things that bring you trauma
Overseas yeah we tryin to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin
In the USA the big CIA the Bloodz and the Crips and the KKK
But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And if you hatin you're bound to get irate
Yeah madness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how anger works and operates
You gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love y'all

People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can you practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father Father Father help us
Send some guidance from above
Cause people got me got me questioning
Where is the love?(where is the lovex3)(the love2x)

It just ain't the same all ways have changed
New days are strange is the world the insane?
If love and peace so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don't belong
Nations dropping bombs
Chemical gases filling lungs of little ones
With ongoing suffering
As the youth die young
So ask yourself is the loving really strong?
So I can ask myself really what is going wrong
With this world that we living in
People keep on giving in
Makin wrong decisions
Only visions of them livin and
Not respecting each other
Deny thy brother
The wars' going on but the reasons' undercover
The truth is kept secret
Swept under the rug
If you never know truth
Then you never know love
Where's the love y'all?(I don't know)
Where's the truth y'all?(I don't know)
Where's the love y'all?

People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father father father help us
Send some guidance from above
Cause people got me got me questioning
Where is the love?(where is the lovex3)(the lovex2)

I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm getting older y'all people get colder
Most of us only care about money makin
Selfishness got us followin the wrong direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting their young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what the see in the cinema
Whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness and equality
Instead of spreading love, we're spreading anomosity
Lack of understanding, leading us away from unity
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feeling under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feeling down
It's no wonder why sometimes I'm feeling under
I gotta keep my faith alive, until love is found

People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can you practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father Father Father help us
Send some guidance from above
Cause people got me got me questioning
Where is the love?(fade)

$$$ DO NOT = quality

I am tired of the people that think $$$ = quality!! Well I am finding this is in fact this is not true at all! REALLY are people that stupid! I am finding some of the things that had been around for years and cheaper are better....

Hell I started cleaning with vinegar again do to the cleaning products just suck A*S!!! I am finding that the regular or "natural" both do not really leaving things clean.. Thing are getter made cheaper in other country but they cost us more here WHAT THE F*CK it that! I am really the only one that thinks that way!

Sorry more random rambling again! I do not want to up set anyone I just want people to think about things!

I just got a Gold Park Pass

I just got a Gold Pass for the Charleston county parks. For 10 dollars..

Do to the Piggly Wiggly's promo of 10 of 1o (for every coupon used you get a greenbax up to 10 a trip) this has been running for the last month. I saved up 30 greenbax do to this and saved 45 dollars and that is how I got the pass for 10 dollars.. I think that is awesome!

But the promo ended today (that was what I was told yesterday).

I want a inspired by finn TEAR DROP 16 to 21 inches so bad!

I want a inspired by finn TEAR DROP 16 to 21 inches so bad!

My little girl has an inspired by finn 4 color Baltic Amber teething necklace. And I know it has helped her so much... I really think it would help me too.

I friend of mine who has a give away blog is giving one away she rocks..

Here at link but it ends to night at 11:59PM

http://www.ratherbechangingdiapers.com/2010/01/inspired-by-finn-review-and-giveaway.html

Here are some of what the inspired by finn site tells you about the Baltic amber

Our Baltic Amber jewelry is a unique piece of history…The amber beads are fossils from an ancient forest which existed tens of millions of years ago.

Baltic amber is not a stone, but a fossilized tree resin.

Historically, Baltic Amber has been used in Europe as a natural and traditional remedy and curative for many ailments for centuries. Long ago it was considered one of the leading ‘medicines’ of its time. Baltic Amber is the most esteemed amber in the world, and the healing qualities of Baltic Amber make it unlike any other type of amber found in the world.

When baltic amber is worn on the skin, the skin’s warmth releases trace amounts of healing oils from the amber. These oils contain succinic acid and are absorbed into the skin.

Baltic Amber has some of the highest concentrations of Succinic Acid found in nature, and this is what makes it so special. Succinic Acid is a natural component of plant and animal tissues, and it's presence in the human body is beneficial in many ways.

How can baltic amber help us?

• Pain Relief -

Baltic amber contains analgesic properties and helps take the edge off of many types of discomfort associated with dental issues, headaches, joint pain, etc.

• Strengthens the body's immune system -

In many different and subtle ways, succinic acid helps boost the body's own natural healing ability and immune system.

• Restoring Energy –

The human body naturally produces succinic acid. The salt of succinic acid (succinate) is one of the most active substances in the processes of cellular respiration and intercellular energy creation. Succinic acid restores oxygen and energy supply to depleted cells and helps the body return to a normal, functioning state.

Succinate is a raw material and a catalyst in the Krebs Cycle which is one of our main sources of energy. During the Krebs Cycle carbohydrates, fats, and proteins are metabolized for energy.

• Maintaining Wellness -

When the human body reacts to stress, the body’s cells begin to use oxygen more quickly. Oxygen plays a central role in the intercellular creation of energy, and a lack of oxygen can result in feeling lethargic.

Oxygen is alkaline-forming in the blood and maintaining a slightly alkaline blood ph helps keep us healthy. Whenever the body functions in a state of low oxygen, it is much more susceptible to illness.

• To help break a cycle of (chronic) inflammation -

Where chronic inflammation is present, disease lurks.

When the body’s cells are chronically inflamed the human body’s immune system response is to increase production of free radicals. Chronic overproduction of free radicals results in inflammatory-related disease. Chronic inflammation is a common denominator of many seemingly unrelated diseases.

While wearing a piece or two of baltic amber jewelry may not cure all that may ail you, it has been a proven benefit to many!

Pulled my foot from my mouth answered back to things I've said

Wandered through the valley of the shadow of the dead

Stumbled round this old sundial, there these words I read

I never count the gloomy hours, I let them slip away

And I realize I'm away

I've seen lots of brothers act tough,

and I've watched them come and go

And tell me why I'm not dead with them in the valley down below

I give thanks everyday for these words that save my soul

I only count the sunny hours, the brightest hours of day

I never count the gloomy hours, I let them slip away

When the going get tough, the tough get going

and I'm out

I am so bored!

I am going str crazy for some reason lately.

I having been thinking I would like to go to some type of school! But I have no idea what I want to do yet.

I could pick something that would help my husband with his photog business he is wanting to do.

That is just a thought! I know I will not do it ether sadly. :(

I guess I am crafty!

I was at that play date today that! And a friend of mine was talking of doing ____ think and I have done something similar I said that I had. I get with a big LOL I would guess you would have. LOL she then said if there is a craft out there you most likely did it! I thought it was funny too. I love crafting. I just have not really stopped to think that not everyone does all these different crafts and things like I do. I am a 27 year old women with two children 7 and 3. I do more knitting then most I guess I just can not knit from patterns at all... I have to do it from what I see in my mind. I also crochet and have been from the age of 5 I think. My showed me how and I again mostly self learned...I did learn around 24 thru 26 learned how read and crochet from patterns... But I still find my self think out a nicer and easier way to do it for me.. I have also been sewing all my life I learned the basics from my loving grandmother to who I was her first grand baby.. I joke and say I learned thru Osmosis.. LOL

I do mostly sew from patterns but I have started sewing out of my head on something lately too.

I also do needlepoint and any other "needle work" there is.

This is the first time I really stopped to think about it.

Play dates!

I did go to a good friends play dates today! I had a great time to.. So did Lexi too! I just do not like the 3 year old fits after because she is SSSSSOOOOO tired and will not take a nap.... I know like all things this to will pass. But it is still not my favorite part of going to play dates she.

TGIF!

I am so tired this morning! If Momo (my Chihuahua)does not stop bark at 6:00AM and wake up Lexi who goes to wake Mat. I am going to make his a out side dog! And on top of that I have one child that is going 90 MPH as soon as she gets out of bed and one I have to say a million time hurry up move faster you will be late to school. And it is COLD here and that seems to make me feel more tired for some reason! I am not a fan of morning as it is you know but if this does not change I am going to have to main line COFFEE again! (lol there is to much blood in my coffee system lol)

Finely getting better!

I am finely getting over this head/chest cold thing. I love my nasal rinse and neti pot that had been the biggest help. I am a Asthma with bad Allergies so be able to just rinse the congestion is the best thing and so less of it gets in to my lungs is a really blessing for me. Now I can get better like everyone else on earth and not taking 2 or 3 more weeks of couching up crap.

feeling left out.

I know I am just feeling a little left out!

I am told by a few people they are my friends but yet I get left out of everything outside of the stuff on the group calendar for my online mommies group. I get left out of my "friends" kids birthday parties , there birthday parties and anything else fun. I am so tired of this type of thing really!

I guess I could under stand things like this when I was in high school. I was not with the "popular" kids I was a out sider I guess.

I wish someone could tell me when the stupid F-ing high school SH*T ends. I am tired of it!

I am sick of being sick!

I got to spend Christmas with no voice!

I have gotten it back now... Well Mostly! This head/chest cold suck butt! I can not hear, Coughing, sinuses hurt, sinuses burns, head aches do to that and sore throat do to all of the listed things...

I am so done with this crap!

I am sure I am sick!

My lovely children have gotten me sick for Christmas!

Nice right just what even mommies wants for Christmas!

So all I want for Christmas is to wake up feeling better tomorrow I really do not anything else other then to wake feeling better so I can in joy my children opening there gifts!

I miss Kroger

I miss Kroger there is not one here in Charleston SC.

I could do some awesome shopping there with almost no coupons and have like 2 week of stuff for under 60 dollars.

I might add most of that was meat too(a lot of meat)!

I have been here two years now and still have not really found a good store I can do the same thing it yet.

I guess I am just use to the place seeing that I have grown up with my grandmother who I did spend a lot of time and she worked there.

I need to find a place to do that again here in Charleston.

Christmas break

Well with Christmas is on friday! I have almost everything thing I wanted to get the children for christmas. I do not feel stressed about it at all! So I am good on that.

The only thing that is driving me crazy is I now have both kids all day and no where to go and it is a little to cold to go do out door things! Can I say going stir crazy!

I am going to start baking to keep from losing my mind!

I am wishing for the summer!

I can not wait to go to the beach again! I really not a fan of the winter time.

I love living here in Charleston. I like the beach so much now that my youngest is 3 and will really love it! I have been dreaming of warm weather and the beach.

Christmas is around the corner!!!

Oh no I still got more shopping to do for the kids... Where was the time go!

Well and on top of that I have both his mom and dad and mine too... Tell me I wish you could come home for Christmas???? I am home... I tell them we just bout a house here we are home.

Why on earth can't we get in there cars and drive here it is like they thought of that.

I hear every thing and reason they can't but they get bad when we say no we can not.

I had to tell my mom look Santa will not be able to come see the children this year if we do!

And everyone thinks I am crazy for not liking this time of year.

Hubby's and my families are me me me..

It feels like a tug a war and then they make you feel bad if they don't get there way.

When will this end I am so tired of these game.

More RAIN!

I am so do with this rain! I feel like when I was a kid. I want to yell at the sky RAIN RAIN GO A WAY!!!! COME BACK SOME OTHER DAY!!!

It has been raining all day and it is depressing....

Rain Rain go away!

I am really tired of the rain and cold here in charleston sc as of late. I am founding to hard to keep my sprits up and be the one to keep everyone happy. Pair that with the christmas shopping crap and I can not go to the mall to let my youngest to play and walk around. I am in the house or going shopping I hate shopping do to it just costs to much.

I feel sad lately!

I feel like a have no really friends lately!

Well I should said in really life I do not! I do not have any one to have to sit and coffee with or someone to take call and take the kids to the park with.... I have a lot of friends in my online mommies group but that is about it really... I am getting tired of typing to people I would love to have friends in the really space not cyberspace.

I am just getting tired to living online and not in really life.

Because of this I have gained over 40 pounds and been sick a lot for no really reason.

I have no friends or family here is South Carolina ether is I have no really reason to get out of the house. But do not get me wrong I love living here is SC it is a great place better then my home town.

bad PRO-family pic's

I would really like to know something. Why do people pay for these really back photos and seem to love them and tells everyone that they are great too.

For the most part I have seen poor lighting, missed focus, very bad us of depth of field and I have seen a very flat look pics (I think of pics something a mom takes of her only child and her having no training) I have even seen where there is no focus at all and they call it art. What the F*ck really and these people that take

the bad pics are what I can mom or dad with camera's meaning they got a really nice camera and now think they can be or are a photog and good just because they have that great camera.

And on top of that they also under charge and hate really photog (What I mean by that is people who worked at it and training and taken classes to learn and be the best at there craft) .

My youngest child

My youngest Child turns 3 tomorrow. I am feeling old now!

And in thinking about it I have been married 8 years now and I have a really sweet smart 7 year old son. Man where was the time go...

brother in law

My Brother in law had to go to the "sand box" same time last year he is Army National Guard and he had to come back for two weeks I think for R. & R. KWIM? He first started with his mom and dad(the in-laws). And drove down from the stay with us for a few days before going on the see a friend that is getting married after he is going back to the "sand box" . And back to his mom and dads place to fight back to where ever he is meeting his guys.

The time he was here was nice and him and hubby (hubby is his youngest brother) got to go out the take some photo's together. I love seeing the two of them getting together and doing things like that. I guess it is because I did not have any brothers or sister growing up I am a only child.

I love it when he is here my children adore him and love seeing him. I guess that is the fun of uncle's . I would not really know my uncle was very good at showing me what not to do and how not to live. At one point in his life he got 7 DUI back to back.

Well he left about tuesday and my youngest would not give him a hug thinking he could not leave if she does not. My oldest was in school or he would have hugged him and not let him go.

What is wrong with people!

I think I finely realized one of the reasons I hate Christmas these days!!!

It is this spend more money or you do not love your loved ones thing and I hate it. What has happened to people making thing with and for there loved ones for FUN.

For the last 3 years I have not had a tree ether and been really sad every Christmas season and this year I got a Pre-lite tree for about $25.00 and two boxes of candy canes and one thinggarland and after I got the to the casher I got another $5 dollars off.

So I payed $25.16 with tax. I also have been letting my two children make decorations for it.

And you know this is the best tree I have had yet.

I am really proud of them too and they love make them and putting the on the tree.

It really makes my heart happy because they are getting the true spirt of Christmas doing this you know.
