I HAVE SEVERAL TOPICS TO TALK ABOUT TODAY:
1. I AM GOING TO TRY POSTING ON FRIDAYS WHEN AJ IS SLEEPING. THIS IS GOING TO BE HARD AT FIRST BUT I WANT TO TRY. THIS MAY NOT BE ENOUGH FOR SOME OF YOU BOGGER GEEKS:) BUT IT IS BETTER THAN WHAT I AM DOING CURRENTLY. I AM HORRIBLE:(
- AJ's 2ND BIRTHDAY WAS A GOOD TIME. HE HAD FUN AND I THINK EVERYONE ELSE DID, FOR AS MUCH FUN AS YOU CAN HAVE AT CHUCK E CHEESE:) THE PIZZA ISN'T THE SAME ANYMORE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS, BUT ANYWAYS. HE GOT SOME GREAT PRESENTS THAT HE ENJOYED OPENING AT THE HOUSE. SORRY ABOUT THAT GUYS HE WAS BEING 2. BUT HE REALLY LIKES THE TOYS AND PLAYS WITH THEM A LOT. THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO WAS THERE HE HAD A GREAT BIRTHDAY.
3. SO I GOT SICK. I KNOW, OMG, WELL IT HAS BEEN ABOUT A YEAR. IT BUILDS YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM IF YOU GET SICK AND DON'T SUPPRESS IT THEN ENTIRE TIME WITH THOSE NASTY OTC MEDS. IF YOU ARE WONDERING WHAT TO DO IF YOU GET SICK AND DON'T WANT TO GET ON ANTIBIOTICS (I DON'T EVEN WANT TO GO INTO WHAT THOSE DO TO YOUR BODY) HERE ARE SOME HITS. IT CAN BE DONE.
SO THIS IS WHAT I DID:
- I GOT ADJUSTED ALMOST EVERY DAY. (THIS BOOST THE IMMUNE SYSTEM).
- I INCREASED MY CALCIUM BY 1000MG. (THIS TRAPS THE BAD GUYS AND FLUSHES THEM OUT OF THE BODY).
- VITAMIN C, OF COURSE.
- ORGANIC YOGURT (VANILLA FLAVOR, GIVES YOUR BODY GOOD GUYS TO FIGHT WHAT YOU ARE FIGHTING) (PLUS IT FEELS GOOD ON A SORE THROAT:)
- FEEDING YOUR BODY GOOD FOODS WHEN YOUR SICK IS IMPORTANT TOO. IT DOESN'T LIKE PIZZA AS IT IS AND WHEN YOU ARE SICK IT DOESN'T HAVE TIME TO DEAL WITH IT. (PLUS I DON'T WANT MY BODY TO HEAL WITH PIZZA PARTS, DISQUSTING).
- VICK'S VAPOR RUB AT NIGHT ON YOUR CHEST.
THIS KEPT ME FEELING PRETTY NORMAL, EXCEPT I THOUGHT MY NOSE WAS GOING TO RUN OFF OF MY FACE. AFTER ABOUT 4 DAYS I FELT GOOD AND THEN MY NOSE RUNNING TURNED INTO A NASTY SINUS INFECTION. AND YES YOU CAN GET OVER THAT WITHOUT ANTIBIOTIC. LOTS OF TISSUES AND NASTY GREEN STUFF COMING OUT OF YOUR FACE. (IT WASN'T BAD, JUST ANNOYING). THEN WHEN I THOUGHT I WAS GETTING RID OF EVERYTHING IN RECORD TIME ( A WEEK) I GOT AN EAR INFECTION. IT WAS AWESOME. WHO IN THEIR 20's GETS AN EAR INFECTION? SO GUESS WHAT I DID?
- I GOT ADJUSTED AND PUT HEAT ON MY NECK AND EAR.
- THE NEXT MORNING I FORGOT I HAD ONE!!
I WAS NOT THINKING THAT IT WOULD BE GONE IN A DAY BUT IT WAS AWESOME!!!
IT HAS BEEN A WEEK AND A HALF AND I FEEL LIKE I AM FINISHED WITH THIS.
OK THAT IS ENOUGH RANT. I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW HOW IT WENT. SOME OF YOU COULD TELL I WAS SICK LAST WEEK. IF YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS JUST LET ME KNOW.
SO BEFORE YOU RUN TO WALGREENS AND COVER UP WHAT YOUR BODY IS TRYING TO COMMUNICATE THINK, HEY, MY BODY CAN DO THIS IF I GIVE IT THE RIGHT TOOLS AND THEN I WILL BE STRONGER AFTERWARDS:)
4. FOR THE LAST TOPIC, I KNOW I AM IN ALL CAPS, BUT IT IS EASIER. (SORRY IF IT HAS ANNOYED ANYONE). ON A DIFFERENT NOTE.
MY SISTER IS MOVING IN WITH US. WE KNEW THIS MIGHT HAPPEN WHEN WE WERE WAITING TO FIND OUT THE FATHER OF HER NEWEST SON, CHASE. PREMATURELY SHE MOVED IN WITH THE GUY WHO IS ENDED UP NOT BEING THE DAD. SADLY, BUT THEY WERE GOING TO TRY TO WORK IT OUT. THEY BOTH HAVE A SON OF THE SAME AGE WHO GET ALONG WELL AND THOUGHT THERE WAS A FUTURE TOGETHER. WELL, HE HAS SOME COMMITMENT ISSUES, OR JUST SOME ISSUES, AND THEY ENDED IT THIS WEEKEND. SHE DOESN'T FEEL ANYTHING TOWARDS THE DAD OF CHASE AND SO SHE IS GOING TO MOVE BACK HOME. WE HAVE THE BIGGEST HOUSE AND SO SHE IS GOING TO STAY WITH US FOR A LITTLE WHILE. IT IS GOING TO BE GOOD FOR HER, I HOPE. SHE MIGHT GO TO SCHOOL. SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO GO TO SCHOOL WHEN SHE WAS IN CAPE, BUT SHE DIDN'T. MAYBE THIS WILL FORCE HER TO DO SOMETHING. EITHER WAY, I JUST WANT HER TO GET BACK ON HER FEET AND BE HAPPY WITH WHO SHE IS AND NOT BE DEPENDENT ON A GUY. SHE HAS HER LITTLE BOYS AND THEY ARE AWESOME. SHE IS A GREAT MOM AND NEED TO LIVE FOR HER. PRAY FOR US AND HOPE EVERYTHING GOES SMOOTH THIS WEEKEND. TALK TO YOU ALL SOON.

Jen, I think I have a comment for every part of your post!
1. Don't feel bad for infrequent postings... do what you can and we enjoy it whenever it comes :)
And AJ's party was great, Andrew had a blast. Hope AJ had a good time even though he was being 2!
2. I understand the hair thing. I cut mine short and now all I want to do is grow it back long. I do that every few years or so. You would look great with short hair, but your hair is so beautiful long as well.
3. Good for you, no antibiotics and recommending it to everyone! Sorry you were sick, but it's cool to here you talk about your survival of it. Thanks for the hints, too.
4. I'll be praying for you and your sister. That's got to be hard all around for everyone. You are very sweet to let her live with you guys.
Hope my comments are not too long.
Love ya!
Jen -- I love the post. I am a blogger geek and was dying to hear from you. :) I'm glad you posted about being sick and what you did. I get tired of reading about everyone getting sick and taking antibiotics. A lot of people are surprised that just because it turns into an infection, doesn't mean that it needs an antibiotic. God created the body to heal itself. Okay... now I'm ranting along with you! :) But I feel so blessed to be able to keep my family healthy without putting them in danger with drugs.
Glad you are able to have Carmen live with you. We'll be praying for that transition. It will be good for AJ to have some buddies in the house! :)
