Caffeine=Craziness!

Caffeine=Craziness

I have often wandered if caffeine can make you hallucinate.  According to Weird Facts picture on Facebook they showed that I've shared. It not only can make you hallucinate, but hear imaginary voices among sencing the present of dead people. 

That alone may be the reason my sister thinks I am a semi-medium. Not that I can actually talk to spirit/those that have died and crossed over. But there's been a few instances where I get extremely anxious and nervous. Such as at a cemetery. Two other examples would be where my beat friend had her car accident and was killed. Every time I pass by her spot of death, I get really anxious and overwhelmed. When my childhood friend Roo funeral session passed by, as soon as the Hurst got even with my car. U began to bite my lip, sweating palms, and overall anxious. But as soon as I'm past the spot Tiff was killed, it feels as if a weight has been lifted off my shoulder.  As soon as Roo's hurst passed I felt normal again.  Can you think of another medium that becomes anxious when spirit is around? ..........

That's right!!!!! Mrs. Teresa Caputo

But unlike Teresa I don't feel or sense or even hear them talking to me. I just get real anxious besides the time when my sister and I were four wheeling. We stop not even a quarter of a mile from Tiffany's wreckage area. I become almost panicky and anxious and to this day swore I heard a voice say I'm OK.

Now after all this time I'm learning I am not as cool as Mrs. Caputo but the amount of Mountain Dew and Sweet Tea I drink. That the caffeine is making feel as if I'm sencing dead people.

** If I was not so tired right now. I would crop that photo and upload it, but until tomorrow if I remember. I will share the picture of Weird Facts.

H1N1

Blogging was meant to be a process for me to share my chaotic single motherhood life with everyone.  I lack at it due to everyday life. I'm human, I get busy, & as well as tired.

However I wanted to share my feelings on last weeks scariest moment.   My son had been sick. Started running fever Thursday  morning. I knew he had a cough but wasn't expecting to hear the news we did. Most of you know my son recently turned 5.  Therefore he's still little and his immune system is still developing.  My son not only was running a 103.5 tempature, but was diagnosed with a double ear infection, strep throat, and H1N1 (swine flu). This flu in itself has killed grown adults.  But the scariest part was when our doctor said don't take your eyes off him. His body has been attacked with 3 different things and the medicine itself may not help. That night I prayed, I poured my heart out to God where he was the only one to hear me. I asked God. Please give this to me take it away from my son. I can fight this faster he can't. That night my son slept with me. I want to praise God because he woke up with no fever, no cough, and was eating. He was Brayden again. He was my non-fearing, ninja butt kicker Brayden. He was himself again. I felt great. But learned no prayer goes unanswered. That afternoon I started feeling yucky.  But I smiled. My son no longer felt bad.  I have always believed in God and Power of Prayer. But this event in my sons life reassured me God is always on my side.

Its been a week and a day since he's been sick. He is back to my Brayden. Laughing, playing ninja, kissing momma when I ask even when I don't. 

As of today, I didn't get the flu like he did. I just got stopped up and sneezing. Ryleigh had a few coughs here and there. Ken has gotten a stopped up nose and achy feeling. But the flu as of now has exited our house. Thank God. 

Although the flu has gone we did get hit by a snow storm the first day of march. Like we needed it. Boy has it been a messy load of crud. Its turning into slush. And having a front wheel drive car that sits low to the grown sucks too.

Day in the Life of Chaotic Chaos

Sorry I haven't posted in so long. The weather in Missouri has been extremely well Chaotic. However, I have had a few people comment or make sly remarks on how can a stay at home stay so busy. I'm going to give u a play by play.

6:30am: The alarm goes off. I get up and get going. Such as making sure the kids clothes are ready socks and shoes are laid out. Backpacks emptied and by the door.
7:00am: the kids get woke up if not already awake. Which usually getting them up and dressed can be a hassle. Who wants to get out of a nice cozy bed when its 20 degrees outside.
7:30-7:45 am: We are out the door.  The kids get dropped off and for roughly about 15 minutes I will ride around town until 8 so that I know kids are in school and haven't tried sneaking out. (I mainly do this because one day as I left I realized brayden had walked back outside and was trying to come after my car.) Call me paranoid but according to the news lately there is nut cases out there.

Usually from 8:00am-11:00 am: I run errands. Sometimes if my moms off I  go spend time with her and help her out. Somedays I do just relax. I usually if I'm home will at least get laundry going possibly a few loads done before brayden gets home. And dishes. Not so much lately because everyone has been sick.

11:00-2:30 pm: I cook brayden something to eat because he is such a picky eater that he hardly eats at school.  I will continue cleaning and stuff. But here lately we have been going threw clothes and toys. So the clothes that don't fit I've been putting away in totes after washing them.  I've been doing a lot of spring cleaning getting rid of things. I want my house in order before our one year mark. I know sounds sad but when your one person and the other half is always working. It gets over whelming.

2:30 p.m.: go wait for sissy to get out at 3.
3:00pm: on Mondays we head to dance and we are there until  5:30. On Wednesdays or Fridays as soon as 3 hits and Ry gets in the car we head to Cape for appointments.  Every other Thursdays is girl scouts. And coming this spring TBall will start.

As soon as we are home from appointments on them certain days. We start preparing for supper,baths, and bedtime routines. Usually Brayden is in bed by 745-830 and Ry no later than 9 but some nights allowed until 10 pm.

The weekends although school isn't in session my days start just as early. I also 9 chance out of 10 is the last one to bed. Some nights I can be in bed as early as 9 some nights as late as 2 in the morning and always back up at 6:30 am.

15 Minute Dinner

Well the scheduling hasn't really went into affect yet because we really haven't been home much. However, tonight I made a full course 15 minute dinner if that. Roast beef, taters, and cream corn. Sounds like a lot of prep and cooking. Nope, not at all. There is two roast beef that I will eat and one you can buy at aldis it is my favorite. Its about $2.99 a can and we buy four cans.  Usually I heat up on the at stove but tonight no one felt like waiting or felt good. So I cooked them for 5 mins in the microwave. Every once in a blue moon I'll make home made mash taters but usually we buy the dollar packs of instant Idahoian potatoes for Walmart for a buck. And tonight we added cream corn. So 15 minutes later we had a delicious full course meal.

Tomorrow we have a lot of cleaning to do. We still haven't went thru  all these clothes that don't fit. We are trying to organize and plan out when and what end to build and extra bedroom on to.  But if the kids participate in cleaning tomorrow we are meeting Nana in cape to get shoes and visit then if they done good at getting their room clean they get McDonalds.

Now both kids are resting peacefully and I believe myself is heading to bed. Maybe a goodnight sleep will do me good.

What is your favorite 15 minute dinner?

Scheduling?

Does anyone ever make a schedule and stick to it? I am really trying this year to do one but considering I have been nauseous since the new year and still don't know whats wrong I have slacked a lot. But I feel in weird ways it could be beneficial for my family.  With school being back in session we have been getting up at 7:15. (Good thing the school is less than a block away!!) But after I drop the kids off I come home and sit after starting laundry. But today I came home and fell asleep in the chair for 2 hours. (That's what ya get with possibly 6 hours of sleep in 2 days.) Today I didn't so much cleaning but the day before I read a thing on pinterest about doing 15-20 min runs in your house. Guess what I done that in my kitchen and it was as clean as it was the day we  moved in. I'm going to post more on this matter but my phone is going dead and I do a lot of my blogging from my phone.

I wanted to post and say I will blogging in the morning on my dream schedule. My belly hurts and I'm gonna sleep it off

More than a 24 hour bug!

Its 1:16 am on Monday January 13th( I'm sure it will be later by time I finish typing this) but late Saturday I began feeling nauseated. I chopped it off as me coming off my period [because I get bad migraines that make me sick when coming off mine.]. Well at Midnight Last night I got so sick after drinking water I threw up. That's a rare moment I hardly ever throw up even when I was pregnant with my kids.  However I have felt like crap all day. I'd get a burst of energy get up and do something then get light headedly dizzy and sick to my stomach. So pretty much been in bed off and on all day. Well I went to get my daughter from my parents after having an hour and half nap and felt great cooked supper ate and bam hits me again. Now up with my daughter I'm back being sick especially after taking a sip of water. That's right a sip. I don't think this is a 24 hour bug. And I'm praying it isn't that super stomach bug that I've been catching wind of. If I'm pregnant we will be happy but not sure I'd that's possible considering I just had a period. Ugh I'm gonna try and sneak away from my daughter who is snoring again and go to bed. I really hope later today is a lot better on me. I need to get my kids ready for school in 7 hours and go grocery shopping then pick my daughter up at 3 and finally return back to dance after month. Wish me luck!

P.S. I made it to my room now just making sure I don't have her follow me in here. I must say I've been awfully clumsy lately. I've tripped over my own feet a few times and the cup of water I was talking about earlier. Well it was actually my second cup because my first cup ended up in the floor.  Alright 6 and half hours before time to get up goodnight

Christmas came to an end, leaves the New Year to begin!

I hope everyone had an absolutely wonderful Christmas. Presents and presents followed with food and fellowship.  I know Christmas isn't about presents and I know that is Jesus birthday. In our family we celebrate his birth by giving us the opportunity to give our children not only what they want but their needs. People may say, "well that's all y'all think about is getting presents!!" No I Thank the Lord everyday for the life he's given me. I thank the good Lord for given me the oppurrunity to make my children happy!  The smiles on their faces threw all the stress and hardships we've been dealing with out the window. Even if its just for one day.
   My kids are normal kids they ask for everything that they seen on TV or in a store. And to Thank God that he provided the finances to help make it happen along with given my parents the finances to give them what they want and need as well. 

  But enough of that..Christmas for our family was quite awesome. What's even more awesome is that the New Year is beginning. That makes for a lot if resolutions to hear from everyone. But I promised myself I wouldn't necessarily make a resolution but a few goals for the new year.

My Goals:

1. I want to be a better mother. Granted that we all talk about our great mothering skills but at the end of the day we are no better than the mother standing beside us. Life in general gets to us.  By time we get the day started and kids to school (well my kid save been out quite a bit cue to weather) but by time we do that come home start the household chores, get kids from school do supper, then extra activities. Face as a mother you are wore out. The kids start geting on your nerves and your agitated ready for bed. I want to be less agitated and focused on my kids more!

2. I want to start budgeting so by next new year we are financially free.

 3. A better girlfriend I mean I'm a old girlfriend but everyone's relationship could improve. 

These are a few I'm going to really work on that also includes being a better housekeeper. I mean let's all face it we hate to clean. Lol

Hoping everyone has a wonderfully great 2014!
