Back Problems

My mom has had back problems ever since I was a young girl. It all started when I was younger and my mom fell down the stairs and slipped a disk in her back. She had to have back surgery many years later to correct it but she still to this day has a lot of pain. I always wonder if the
laser spine institute could help her. I wonder if she would have laser surgery it would help her. I always feel sorry for her when she is in so much pain. I always wish I could do something to help her. Maybe I can pass this information on to her.

Santa Pictures

Thanks to Lemuel Craft
Over Christmas break, we took our kids to see Santa at the mall. The past two years we have taken our son to see him and we have yet to get a picture with our son smiling. This year was no different. Our son did not cry, but he and his sister just sat there and looked at Santa. We got a few good pictures, thanks to my camera. However, they only let you take pictures with your own camera if you agree to buy the pictures that they took too. When I went to check out the pictures they took, the elf told me that if I give them my email address, they would send me all of the pictures for people to order more online. I am glad we have a clear internet bundle so I will be able to share these pictures with friends and family. I still think that the Santa pictures that you have to buy are priced a little high. I guess that is just the price we have to pay each year for a Santa memory.

Energy Costs

Have you ever wondered if there was a way to save money on your energy costs? Well I have to say that I think about it all the time as a matter of fact everytime that I get a bill in the mail I think about how I can get it to be a lower price. I know there are ways like turning down the heat as well as keeping the lights off in rooms that you are not using at the time. It seems like illinois energy is costing more and more every year. There are many ways to save that you may not know about this year. Check out this site for some ideas to make your bills go a little lower.

Feeling Better

Well I guess with the exception of today i have been feeling better lately. I have been able to keep most meals down and I have eased up on the morning sickness. I have not been feeling very well today but I think mainly it is because in exhausted. It feels like I could sleep all day long. I get lots of sleep at night time but i'm still so tired when i wake up in the morning. It actually feels like I could sleep all day long. I sometimes wish that I could but I know that I have three other kids that need my attention. I still need to get dinner and every other meal ready as well as bring the kids to and from school everyday. I have to say this has so far been a hard pregnancy, not because of complications but because I have so much to do with the other kids that I can not just relax and take time for myself. I'm hoping it goes fast.

Gold

Just about every place I go these days I see places trying to get you to cash your old gold into money. They always say they pay the very best price but i'm not sure your really getting a deal. Gold is pretty expensive these days and they also have to make a profit. If you are looking for gold chains online might just be the place to get them. They seem to cost less for the same amount of gold weight. I really like the solid gold herringbone chain. I think it has a really elegant look to it. They do have a ton to choose from so i'm going to have a problem choosing just one.

Lemonade

I have been trying to drink a little less soda because I know all the sugar is not good for you. I also have been trying to cut calories and I know that regular soda what I usually drink is very high in calories. Some people actually drink their whole calorie allowance in soda a day. I have never drank that much just one can a day for me but I am trying to cut back. My new thing that I love to drink is crystal light. It is like a lemonade but to me it tastes less sweet than the average drink mix, and that's why I like it so much. It is a much lighter calorie drink than soda and it also has a lot of water in which your body needs. If you have not yet tried replacing a soda in your life with a nice glass of crystal light you should give it a try. It comes in many different flavors, and its cheapest to buy it online!

Flowers

Oh I just love flowers! I have to admit that I would much rather my husband buy me flowers from a store rather than have them delivered because it can be very expensive. Although it is a really nice gesture. Many of my friends don't even know but I used to be a flower delivery person. I hated the job because it was before the days of gps. I have no sense of direction when it comes to knowing where to go so the job was not for me. I was always getting lost and frustrating so I quit the job after a few months. I did not know that the delivery drivers also work on tips before I had that job. I always feel sorry for those workers now because many do not know that today. It is so nice to have simple things like a flower delivery when you are not feeling well or in time of loss. Flowers really make your mood happier. It must be because of the flower beauty and bright colors.

Last Minute

Well today is the last Thursday before Christmas. I am going to drop the two kids off at my moms house and run out to do little shopping for Christmas dinner. I also have to get my mom a Christmas gift still. I have something in mind as of what I am getting I just have to go and pick it up. I am sure the stores are going to be crazy busy but i'm hoping that during the day time it will be a little slower than at night when everyone gets off work. I don't have much else planned for today but that's enough for me. Today is Ken's last day of work before his vacation so that will be really nice to have home home with us.

Maternity Clothing

I have to say I have some pretty awesome friends. I also think that it is pretty amazing that we all have a lot of kids. Our little friend group grows and grows every time someone has a new baby. I have two friends that had a baby this past year. I was very happy for them but I did not want the same for our family. Right now I am happy with what we have going on. I want to get Aidan potty trained and i'm more looking forward to the birth of our new nephew than having one myself. I really do not go and purchase maternity clothing when I am pregnant because I can never find anything I really like. I do know that some friends have found the best maternity clothes online.
I also have to agree that they have been really cute and stylish as well. I'm for sure not shopping for any in the near future but will keep them in mind for future friends and family.

Just Wrapping Left

Well I have to admit the one thing that I hate to do in the Christmas season is wrapping. I just feel it is suck a waste of time. It really last for a matter of minutes on Christmas morning. That does not mean that I do not still do it but rather that I always try and put it off till the last minute. Usually every Christmas eve we are up all night long wrapping gifts. Ken has tried numerous times to recruit me for wrapping early. We did do it one night for an hour or so but we still have so much to do. Every night we usually have something going on whether its homework or cub scouts. After the kids go to bed i'm ready to relax a little. Tonight I promised Ken to do little more wrapping since my time is running out.
