Trying out a new product

Kim — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 19:00:27 +0000

I love trying out new products. Not food products mind you but bath and body products like seaweedbathco.com for seaweed shampoo. I’ve never tried this kind of shampoo before but after reading some great reviews it’s something that I’m pretty sure I’d like to try. I have a lot of hair and it’s very dry and coarse so if I can find any product that makes it smooth and shiny then I’m all for that. So I think I’m going to order some and check this out. Who knows maybe I’ve just stumbled across my new favorite shampoo.

Starting to feel better

Kim — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 13:00:37 +0000

It has been a rough couple of weeks for me here at my house. For the past couple of weeks I have been in some sever pain and haven’t been doing very well. I haven’t been able to sit for any length of time so my computer time has been quite limited. But I do feel a bit better today so I think maybe the worst of this is over. I have been having some serious back issues for the past few months and some days it’s worse than others. But I’m doing better today so I’m really hoping things are going to improve. If they do you will once again see me posting more and when you see that, you will see that I am in fact doing better.

Crappy day

Kim — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 12:35:04 +0000

What a crappy day today turned out to be. Right now it’s pouring rain outside and cold. And I’m sick as well. So all in all I think it’s going to be one miserable day. So I have decided that today is going to be a *me* day. I don’t plan on doing a whole lot of work today and just plan on laying around most of the day. Both the kids are in school so I have the house to myself and I think I’m going to take advantage of it. So… have a great day and I’ll talk to you all soon. Hopefully by then the weather will be nicer and I will be feeling better.

Becoming a non smoker

Kim — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 11:48:48 +0000

After 31 years I can honestly say that I can see myself becoming a non smoker. I have been smoking for 31 years and have FINALLY decided to really try to quit smoking. Yes I have tried to quit in the past, but my heart really wasn’t in it so I really didn’t give it my best shot. But now with the price of cigarettes going up another $2.00 a pack I have decided that it really is time to quit.

I have decided to try a new product that just recently came to Canada. I am going to give the e-cigs a real try. Tomorrow when I have to go out to do some running around I plan on picking up the kit and then start to be on my way to becoming a non smoker. So wish me luck and of course, I’ll be back in here periodically to give you all an update on my progress. Man… I hope this works as I know it will save me a ton of money in the future and of course I’ll be healthier.

No wonder he’s sick!

Kim — Fri, 18 Feb 2011 12:47:20 +0000

On Tuesday I got a phone call from my son’s school to come pick him up. He wasn’t feeling really good and he did have quiet the bad cough. So I went and picked him up and actually ended up keeping him home for two more days as well. I did send him back to school today but I’m not sure if I will end up getting another call again. My husband discovered this morning what might be keeping him sick. When he went into this kid’s room to wake him up this morning, he had his window open and his heat turned off. And all this at minus 10 temperatures. And… he wonders why he is sick??? I don’t know what I’m going to do with this child. But I do know that he can’t be opening his window and turning his heat off in the dead of the winter!

Feeling much better

Kim — Mon, 24 Jan 2011 14:00:47 +0000

Well I think the worst of this sickness is over. Today I don’t feel as bad as I have had the past few days so I think the worst is over. Man I hate being sick! So now with this round of sickness over and done with hopefully I’ll be well for a little while. I don’t get sick often but when I do it really throws me for a loop. Fingers crossed that I stay well for at least a little while.

Not smoking quite so much

Kim — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 14:40:29 +0000

Well you could almost say that I’m quitting smoking. The past couple of days I have had a major neck, ear and throat ache. And guess what?? I can’t smoke! I also can’t stand the smell of my husband’s cigars either so he hasn’t been able to smoke those things around me either. Being sick is pretty nasty, but if it helps me give up the smoking, maybe it’s worth it?? I guess I’ll have to wait and see how long I’m sick and if I can actually give up the smokes this time around.

Getting concerned

Kim — Wed, 19 Jan 2011 16:55:45 +0000

Well I’m starting to get more than a little concerned about my husband. For the past little while he hasn’t been feeling the best and now for the past two days he’s been home sick from work. I’m not really sure what’s going on at this point, but I don’t think a simple colon cleanse is going to help him out. I have been trying to convince him to go to the doctor. But so far, I’ve had no luck. I really don’t know what else to do about him so I guess at this point all I can do is sit here and worry. I really wish he would go to the doctor and get checked out. It could be something simple and he’s suffering for nothing.

I’m sick!

Kim — Tue, 18 Jan 2011 13:34:01 +0000

I don’t get sick very often, but when I do… man it hits me like a ton of bricks. Well… I’m sick! And boy I don’t feel very good. Yesterday I started to feel like crap but after a very poor night’s sleep today I can barely sit up at my computer. So I guess instead of browsing the Internet for anything like diet pills for women I’m going to shut this computer off and go lay down for a while. I really hope I feel better later on today as I do have to go to work later and there is no one who can take my shift. So… I guess I’ll talk to you all later and hopefully I’ll be able to post that I’ve managed to kick this thing.

Thank goodness the weekend is almost here

Kim — Fri, 17 Dec 2010 12:41:36 +0000

Man… this has been one long week! On Tuesday I had my youngest son home from school as we had no power for 13 hours. Then he was home sick from school on Wednesday and Thursday. Then my daughter got sick Wednesday night and was home yesterday and today. So by having kids home all week I really haven’t been getting much done. Plus because they’ve both been sick I haven’t been getting a whole lot of sleep either so I’m extremely tired as well. But the weekend is almost here and that will give them both two days to recuperate from their sickness. Hopefully next week is a better week for our entire household.
