GO AWAY

Tuesday and Wednesday we had incredibly warm weather (Tuesday we had a high of 73 and upper 6o's on Wednesday), we were all hoping it would stay.
I guess we are all silly, especially becasue we know this happens every year in this wonderful city we live in!
Thursday we woke up to snow, not much, but SNOW none the less.
I asked Josh to get up and take Merci to school for me, I was so tired and a bit crabby.
He said something about snow and I snapped "Quit lying to me I am not in the mood."
LOL!!
Wednesday night the house was so warm, 75, warmer thanif we had the heat on, sadly. I went to bed in shorts and woke up to SNOW.

Here are some pictures as proof of the warm weather.



It was so warm Merci got out a pair of her flip flops from last year!



The same crocuses in my profile picture at the same time as last year!



These are all the toys we got out of storage for the kids to play with!
Covered in SNOW!

What is this world coming to?

We all had tornado, and fire drills in school, but guess what kind of drills they have in school now??

That's right terroist attck drills or bomber drills.
To protect the kids if there was a violent attack of any kind on the school.

Merci was telling me they had to find a good place to hide in case someone was going to "shoot" them. She lost the first time and learned hiding next tot he computer was a bad spot, becasue she got "shot". She did find a nice safe place the next time though.

At first I was a little annoyed and wanted to march in and yell at the teacher for pretending to "shoot" my kid. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized how much of a reality it is.
It made me really sad.

The things are kids have to hear about and experience is mind boggling.

Love

Jesus loves me so much he sends sunrises each morning and flowers each Spring. He sends things to make me smile, he protects me and my family daily, he makes my son say and do the darndest things. ( He has been sticking his tongue at at people in stores and me when he doesn't liek what I say.)

Jesus Loves me!
and
Jesus loves YOU!

Last Spring

I took this picture last Spring!
I love it, We blew this along with another of a single crocus and put them in our dining room.
I love the way they stand out against our Fireweed walls!

102 nasty days

A lot of you know we are worried about Merci, wondering if ADHD/ADD could be a culprit.

Before I decide to take her to get tested etc, etc. I did a little research and had actually heard this doctor on the radio awhile back talking about how just altering the food we eat and supplements we take could drastically reduce symptoms of ADHD/ADD. So last week I ordered his book. It came today!! I haven't put it down. I am so excited to learn about this disease and how we can eliminate it!!

Anyway listen to this!

The half-life of trans fatty acids or hydrogenated fats is 15 days. That is, after 51 days, one-half of the negative effects of this man-made fat have been processed, but the body needs an additional 51 days to complete the process. After these 51 days, there is still a 25% residual. Therefore, the ill effects of one bag of fries lasts 102 days! Can you believe it?

When you reward your child or grandchild with a bag of french fries, it takes over 3 month (102 days) for it to be properly processed through the body. During that time period, the body does not have adequate fat production, which jeopardizes nerve transmission. Improper nerve function is one of the primary reasons that we have hyperactivity in our society.
Adding to the diet essential fats like flax oil with proper minerals and B vitamins can result in a dramatic reduction of hyperactivity.

Taken from Dr Bob's Guide to Stop ADHD in 18 days. Dr Bob is a drug less doctor.

I just might think twice about ever eating fries again!

This book is very interesting, it isn't just about ADHD, he is very educating in why what he says works and why these types of foods interact wrongly with our bodies! it is even more interesting to me because he is talking all about body function which I am studying in Biology right now!!
