Confession Time

Have you ever been afraid to try something because you are thinking that if you do you just might like it? There are a few examples that pop into my head. Some people in my wonderful family, who shall remain nameless, eat bananas on their hot dogs. I can't say it isn't good, because I am afraid to try it. I could hate it and then we just move on with life, or I love it and learn to deal with the stares of people seeing you eat bananas on your hot dog. Another example is this:



It is a burger with Krispy Kreme doughnuts as the bun. It looks a little scary to me. However, I do love a good Krispy Kreme doughnut and I love a good burger. I have just never had them at the same time. So, I am afraid to try it more of the fear that I will love it than the fear that it will taste awful.

You might be wondering what all of this rambling is leading up to. Well, there is something that I have been putting off doing for a while. Some of you will say a long while if you have been there and done that. Others might be in the same boat that I was in and cannot imagine what the big deal is. I haven't done it before because, at first, I had no interest in it at all. Then when my daughter wanted to do it, I was still hesitant. I still didn't do it. Instead I talked to others who had already done it, I looked online about it, anything except me actually doing it. So, she was given permission to go ahead with it. That has been a while ago. The reason why I did it now is just plain curiosity.



Do you want to know what I have finally done?



Are you sitting on the edge of your seat waiting?



Ok, ok, I will tell you.....




I finally read Twilight. I know, right? I can hear some of you gasping as you read this. :) With this I was afraid I would read it and hate it. I was surprised at how much I did like it. Once I got started it was hard to put down. I enjoy reading love stories and this is a good one. I have read the first three books in the series and am looking to borrow the last one. I am not looking to be the president of the fan club or anything, but I can admit that I did like it a lot. I am anxious to read the final book to see how she wraps up the story. Don't judge me too much one way or the other for confessing this to you. Maybe next year at the fair I will try that Krispy Kreme burger. Hmmm on second thought, maybe not. :)

A Very Special Day

Well, it is that time of year. The time when one of my kids has a birthday and I have to be reminded that they are growing up way too fast. My youngest, my Little Bit, is six! I remember the day I went to the hospital to have her. They actually sent me home, because I was being induced and they didn't have room for me. The next time we came back we were able to stay. She was the biggest of my three kids. She weighed 9 lbs 4 oz. *SIGH* Seems like yesterday...good memories... I am so blessed to have such a sweet girl in my life. She is so full of life and has such a great personality. She loves to wear dresses and pretty shoes. She lost her first tooth yesterday. She adores her big brother and sister. It has been a wonderful six years. We love you, Little Bit!!

It Just Might Work

Well, it has been about 3 weeks since I started on a new medicine to help with more energy. I am still not exactly sure if it is helping some days. However, yesterday I did notice something. While I was taking my shower, I didn't feel exhausted. It usually takes me a long time to shower. Also, when I am finished I am very tired. I wasn't quite so tired this time. So, perhaps it is helping. It is a lot different than a medicine I tried before. That one I could definitely tell I was on something. If I took a whole pill, I felt like I was running on high speed. It even made me talk fast. It was better if I took only a half pill. That medicine wasn't covered with my insurance. So, I thought it would be ok to try something else. An added bonus to this new medicine is it only cost me the lowest co-pay with my insurance. I guess only time will tell.

The girls each missed 3 days of school this week because of strep. I think my boy was a bit jealous that he didn't get to stay home. :) They seem to be feeling much better today. They are supposed to be cleaning their rooms. There is lots of laughter coming down the stairs. They must be having a great time cleaning up. I took a break from cleaning downstairs. I guess I need to get back to it and get off the computer. :)
