Wow! It's been a while...

I always think about writting in here but never actually get around to doing it. Sometimes I write up a post of paper and then I begin to edit it and then I just say, "No one wants to read this, not even me" and I throw it out.

So here I am....

I did a little reorganizing and I finally have my desk cleared off enough that I have my tablet and Bluetooth keyboard all set up on it now and I am writting this post with it right now. Usually my desk chair is piled high with clean or dirty clothes and I just pile things onto my desk at night after I am done working on them in my bed. I really need to keep this space cleared and tidy so it gives me more motivation to actually sit and get on here.

I am TRYING to repair my relationship with God. I still feel like God isn't listening to a lot of my prayers but I am getting answers to them (whether I like them or not) trickeling in here and there.  I also have been ATTEMPTING to do the whole 30:30 challenege that Joyce Meyer always talks about and I am failing miserabley! The 30:30 Challange is you are supposted to read your bible everyday 30 minutes a day for 30 days straight. Today is day 8 and I think I have actually accoplished the whole 30 minute goal twice! Other days its like 9 or 15 minutes because I read at night before I go to bed and I fall asleep before the 30 minute mark.  So yeah, that has been pretty awful.

Tomorrow night, I have a "girls night out" dinner I am going on. Me and 2 friends of mine are going to our favorite mexican place in town El Rodeo and we are going to leave the kids home with our husbands. It's always nice to go out and have a little adult time away from the kids.

Soccer has officially started!!! I am really happy that KJ seems to be working a little harder at keeping control of the ball. This is the first time Rando has played soccer and I KNEW he would love it. He has ALWAYS had natural control of the ball, even as a baby. So its really cool to see him at soccer practice. Other kids in his group are struggling and he's just awesome. His biggest problem are his power kicks. Even if he's passing and the kid is only like 5 feet away he just turbo kicks that ball and it just blows past them. I keep telling him "You gotta scale down your kicks when you are passing the ball. Save the big kicks for the goal" haha. He gets so excited though so it really makes me happy. Saturday is Rando's (Or Robert Brandon, which is what he named him but he went by Rando for so long that its hard for me NOT to call him Rando now that he no longer likes the nick name) first soccer game. He has his uniform and he is sooo ready! Unfortunately, KJ does not have a game yet. He is in the boys only 2-3 grade (It's Co-ed for K-1, then its same sex until middle school) and his group only have 5 teams so this is his Bye week. But that's okay. He can sit and watch his brother play just like his brohter had to do for years. :)

Oh yeah, another thing going on now is the fact that the school is telling me that after his oils wear off about 1/2 through the day that he is showing signs of ADHD (Big surprise there HAHA!). They asked me to contact my pediatrican so they can have the papers from her to fill out and return in a month or two so she can scale it. If they get an actual diagnoses he can then get a 504 in school. I have asked the Dr. if she will sign the consent form to have me bring the essential oils to school and leave it with the nurse to apply after lunch each day so he can be calm and focused the rest of the day. The Pediatrican is now giving me a hard time about signing it because "she doesn't really know too much about essential oils" but she will gladly write me a perscription for Adderal and Ridolin(spelling?). WHAT!?!?! So you won't sign the paper allowing me to bring the oils THAT WORK (and have worked all last year) into school but you are willing to pump my kid full of drugs that can mess with his blood pressure and give him heart problems? uhhhhhh NO THANKS!  I am going to go in and talk to her about this a little more tomorrow at Colton's 2 year check up. I have been PRAYING my guts out all week. We will see if God answers it tomorrow. Hopefully, he opens up her eyes or lets me bypass her somehow with the school. We will see......

Paleo Here We Go.

I've been doing a lot of research lately about food. I've gained 15 pounds since my mother passed away. On top of all the other weight I'm trying to lose this extra 15 is like a mill stone around my neck while swimming in the ocean. So I have been serious about researching food and what it does to the body. I read the book Wheat Belly and it really opened up my eyes. Then I watched the documentary Perfect Human Diet and the movie Love Paleo. That sealed the deal for me. I wanted to try out the Paleo lifestyle. I tried it for a week. I lost 5 lbs and then I went to a cookout which left me with only one thing to actually eat so I went off it and ate whatever I wanted there. The next day my stomach was totally upset and I had gained back 3 of my 5 pounds lost. So I was upset about that and it sealed the deal for me. I've been using this week to ease back into the Paleo lifestyle.  I may not be over the passing of my mother but I am trying my best to keep my body as healthy as possible.

So Paleo I will go ....

I miss my mom

My Mom passed away on Sunday February 7th 2016 at about 6am. I have to admit, I've been pretty upset with God. I truly believed that God would heal her and give her a chance to see her grandchildren  grow up. My mom wanted that so much so I never doubted that God would get her through her cancer. God had always gotten our family through all the tough times but it felt like God just turned his back on us when Mom got cancer. It's been a little over 2 months and I still cry every single day. I feel so hopeless and I just can't get on top of my depression. I'm so lost without Mom. I've gained weight and I just barely get through everyday. I'm struggling to keep up with the housework and the laundry. I'm overwhelmed with life in general and I don't know what to do anymore. I used to call and text my Mom throughout the day all day long every day. Now it's just me. I put on a happy face for my boys but I feel completely dead inside. I'm praying again but I don't really feel like God gives two crap about my prayers because I am upset with him. I just don't know how to get through this.
