My husband dislikes going to the doctor. So when we got back to the South and we went to yet again get our Tennessee Driver License, and the lady told my husband he had to go get his eye's checked before could get a state license, he was pretty mad. Matter of fact he informed the lady he would not be back. Well, he was right he hasn't been back. However, it's only because we lack funds to get the eye test done. When we do have the money to get it we will be hitting up Zenni Optical. The have a great selection of men's eye wear for great prices. Chance are my husband will only need the glasses when he is driving. I honestly don't think he needs them often times he can see things better than I can and I have glasses. If you have ever been to DMV they make the images blurry on purpose. I was having to squint when I was reading mine, and like I said I wear glasses. If I would have known the little trip to Michigan was only going to be a waste of time and money we would have stayed … [Read more...]

Anxiety Learned or Imbalance?
When I first went to get help for my anxiety I was told it was all in my head and I needed to learn to deal with it. Some believe anxiety is learned, while others believe it's an imbalance. Did I learn my anxiety or was I born with it. I can sit here and recall many times when I would have an attack, I can tell you what triggered it and all the symptoms that followed with it. I have tried many times the learn to deal with it approach. Many times failed. If you have anxiety you would know that there really is no learn to deal with it. While at times I can keep the symptoms down to a minimum I can not completely remove the feelings I have when an attack happens. Never had anxiety, not sure what an attack is? Let me explain, picture going down a big roller coaster at an amusement park the rush you get. Try walking around everyday feeling that same way but the rush is a rush of fear. A fear that something will happen that is beyond your control. Growing up we had a house fire … [Read more...]
Anxiety Controls My Life
As I sit here, I am having one of my wonderful attacks. I hate feeling the way I feel most the time. I try to keep my mind on other things, that's why I enter giveaways. Entering giveaways lets me focus on entering instead of everything else in my life. If you have ever had a panic attack you probably know what I am talking about. Through-out the day I have about 3 to 4 attacks. The symptoms include hot and cold flashes, nausea, and a deep emptiness in the pit of my stomach. When I get to feeling this way I just want to be left a lone. I want to drown in my own little world. I recently started having a lot of headaches, I normally don't have headaches. If you suffer from anxiety you know where I am coming from when I say anxiety controls my life. I cannot go out with my husband and have a good time because I freak, I cannot take my daughter to fun places because I freak. Simple trips to Memphis don't happen because I freak. Yesterday I went to Memphis for the first time by … [Read more...]
Discipline May Not Be Easy But Is Needed
Being a parent is far from easy; when our children were born, a manual didn’t come with them. Each parent has their own way of raising their children. Growing up we learn how to parent from our own parent figures. One of the hardest parts of being a parent is disciplining our children. We want them to grow up well behaved and have good manners so disciplining is very important. If children are not given proper discipline at a young age a parent will often find, as their child gets older, they’re harder to handle. Positive discipline will have a huge impact on your child. At the time, we as parents may feel guilty; however, by proper disciplining we are helping guide our children in the right direction in life. They will feel more safe, secured, and valued, as they grow older. They will also show you as the parent more respect. When it comes to disciplining, it’s important to discipline based on age. I am not here to tell you how to properly discipline. Each child reacts to … [Read more...]
My Top 5 Favorite Oldie Love Songs
I have to say I am a sucker for romance. I could watch some of my favorite love movies over and over and not get bored with them. I could also sit here and listen to the same music. Growing up some of my favorite songs came either from the country station or my mix of Oldies Love Songs. My top 5 favorite oldies long songs are... 5. Walkin After Midnight - Patsy Cline 4. All Shook Up - Elvis Presley 3. A Teenager in Love - Dion & the Belmonts 2. Are You Lonesome Tonight - Elvis Presley 1. When a Man Loves a Woman - Percy Sledge Elvis Presley was a very big part of our home, mom listened to him almost daily. When I moved to Tennessee it was neat to see where he grew up, and even learn about his home. Music is one of those natural stress relievers to me, I can be sitting here having a bad day, and I turn on some music I grew up listening to and everything seems to get a bit better. Although this is music before my time. I still loved listening to it, I supposed … [Read more...]
Homemade Doggie Treats!
Treats for pets can be pretty expensive, so I have decided to try to make our puppy some homemade treats. Some of his favorite treats are beef bones. I have decided to make him some chicken/salmon bones with a little spinach, broccoli, oat meal, instant milk, and some flour. While I as making them he was just like a little kid watching me while licking his lips. I have them in the oven right now, so I am not so sure how these will turn out. I hope they harden, if not I know he will still love them, since we have been feeding him the mix in with his food. The reason for this mixture is because it's high in vitamin k. Our puppy got into some mouse poison the other night. While we got him to throw it all up within 10 minutes, and it was older stuff and he didn't get a lot. We have to make sure he gets a lot of vitamin k so his blood doesn't start to thin out. If this happens we maybe in trouble. He is acting like normal and showing no signs of issues. While I know he is not out … [Read more...]
