Truth

So turns out I didn't dodge that bullet after all and I've spent the last week and a half sick as a dog. On the bright side at least I was well long enough to get my family through the tough part, and since Dan had already gone through everything he was the sweetest man alive and did everything he could do to make me feel better every step of the way. My heads finally starting to clear up and I thought I'd take that chance to write a bit.
My topic for today is going to be: What makes a good person? Please feel free to let me know your thoughts on this one cause apparently I'm in need of some help.
I'd like to think a good person is one that helps their neighbors and who willingly lends a hand to people they don't know, someone who thinks of others before themselves and will do anything to make someones day just a little better. Someone who would literally give their shirt off their back or give their last five bucks to a friend that needs it more than them. A person who always smiles no matter how bad things look. Someone who listens and lends a shoulder to cry on, a true friend. Charitable and unselfish, someone who doesn't rely on material goods no matter how bad they may want them. Puts their family first and lets them know how much their loved. Someone that will lend some of that love to anyone who needs it.
Their are so many qualities in a human being that are beautiful, too many for me to list them all. I'm so happy there are people out there with big hearts and loving souls, our world would be an awful place without them, some days I need a reminder that there are good people in this world and it's not all hate and violence.
I believe I am a good person and I try my hardest to do what I can, and some of you, if you knew every last thing about me, may judge and come to some different conclusions. But I don't see much wrong with how I live my life, I've always been different, a little off, not the norm, you all know this. I'm no prude, that's for sure, I'm not afraid to be who I am. But I may not tell you everything because you may not understand, and I see no reason to upset the ones I love over my personal views. I don't kill, I don't covet, I don't steal or commit adultery, I take my Sundays off, and I spend them with my wonderful family. So really what's left is my business and If you want to know I'll gladly tell you, but bottom line is somethings I don't just tell you to avoid any unnecessary uproar, I'm not going to change for anyone but myself, so please don't think otherwise. Love it or hate I am who I am and you may not like every last detail but I love you all just the way you are, so please do me a favor... and do the same for me. Love me for who I am because in reality you don't know everything about me, but I do and I'm smiling inside everyday because I'm happy with who I am.

Why not?

So I've decided to finally start a blog. Can't guarantee how well I'll keep up but I'll try to do my best.
So today was a pretty good day, I went to Kiara's baby shower for hers and Casey's first little baby. She's having a baby boy and she is one of the cutest pregnant girls ever!
I actually had the whole day off, (only because I requested it off) It was a good thing, I was able to make a wonderful dinner and relax with my family. Although I'm the only one not sick right now so it puts a little bit of a damper on things, poor Josie started coughing so hard she lost her dinner which was the first real thing she's eatin the last couple days so that was no fun. Her and Daddy have fallen asleep on the couch together, they both have the same thing so they can cuddle as much as they want. Luckily somehow I'm still feeling alright, after sleeping next to Josie all night on Thursday I thought I was doomed but it looks like I lucked out.
Chris is at his moms this weekend, but we'll get to pick him up at four tomorrow. I'm a little glad he's missed out on the germ fest, hopefully he comes home nice and healthy. He's such a good kid, he's been so helpful this week. I haven't slept well do to juggling medicine for Josie and Dan and the Vick's rub and the coughing and squirming, so he's been very self reliant in the morning getting as ready as possible for school. He's such a sweetheart! We've also put him on some herbal remedies for a.d.d, his teacher is adamant that he needs to be medicated but we refuse to just dose our child so we're trying all the herbal routes we can. He's taking very basic things like fish oil and gaba (something your brain naturally produces). The mixture we're trying now seems to be helping so we're hoping over time he'll be able to concentrate better.
For anyone I haven't talked to lately I've recently figured out I'm anemic, I was slightly anemic when I was pregnant and found out that my mother also has to take iron supplements daily. I have had a period of five or six months that I've felt so tired and honestly just thought I was being lazy, it never occurred to me something might be wrong till things got worse. Last week I became pretty ill, to the point where I didn't leave the couch unless I had to. I was so dizzy and weak, my friend Kim had called me the next day, I was feeling a little better but still not well by any means. I told her about everything that was wrong with me thinking I was crazy, maybe fatigued or something, when she told me that those were all symptoms of anemia. She also said women who are anemic when pregnant can have problems with it for the rest of their life, something my idiot doctor didn't bother mentioning! Anyway I started taking iron supplements and slowly started feeling better, about a week or more later I'm starting to feel like myself again! I can work out at the gym and not want to throw up and I'm not nearly as tired (this week doesn't count since I've been up half the night with someone) but I'm so grateful she brought that to my attention and that by simply taking some little pills I'm starting to feel so much better!
Well I think I've blabbed enough for one night. Take care, love you all.
