Overlooked Orchid

She wanted to scream in frustration. Her disability insurance check was late, for the 3rd month in a row, her hot water tank wasn’t hot, the plumber said that he couldn’t come and look at it for at least 2 days, and to top it off she had a disagreement with her oldest daughter this morning. How much more could she take?? She couldn’t answer that question. She laid her head on her arms as the tears started to flow.

I keep thinking that perhaps I should look into some more life insurance. I never know if it’s term life insurance, or one of the other kinds of insurance that I want. I want to make sure that if anything does ever happen to me, that the girls will be taken care of. Obviously I can’t afford enough insurance for them to be taken care of for life, but at least they will have a little to get them started off.

Most importantly is having someone around that would love them and care for them as I would want. Thankfully I have that covered as well.

How embarressing that when I was typing the title, insurance advertising, which will also become part of the link that I first spelt “adverstising” before catching my mistake. So now that typo is permenently part of the link to this post.

I do try to make sure that my posts are typo free, even if I inadvertently put a coma where it doesn’t belong, or add one that is not needed. Correct spelling is kind of important to me, simply because it makes everything look better.

After many many tests, and weeks of worry and wonder, the diagnosis of malignant Mesothelioma confirmed her worst fears.

She sat on her couch, gazing at nothing…thoughts skipping through her head faster than what she coud even comprehend. It was not the end of the world, she would not give up, these were the two thoughts that she kept coming back to. She would be strong and brave. She would survive!

I have thought of having an exercise bike or possibly looking into treadmills for my house. Something that I can get on and read a book or something, while still getting some exercise. But then I wonder when I would have the time to do that. While I do spend quite a bit of time reading, it is usually at night, right before bed. The day is usually consumed with whatever errands I have to do, and cleaning house. That provides me with some exercise, and then there is always working with the horse, and mowing the lawn and such things.

I’m all for doing things the natural way, when possible. That’s why I think www.naturalfatburner.org is a great sight. If you can naturally lose the weight you want, with diet, exercise, and perhaps some all natural weight loss vitamins than that is deffinitely the way to go.

I like using natural products as much as possible, even in the cleaning supplies that I use. Not everything I have is all natural, because some of them just don’t work as well as I would like, but I use what works.

Ahhh, she wondered if her day could get any worse. The outfit she had wanted to wear this morning had a stain on it, from Lord only knows what. Her car wouldn’t start this morning, making her late for work, and NOW the manual directory submission wasn’t working. Which would in turn make this very important assignment late, which of course meant that she would get a nasty gram from her boss.

Life was just not going her way today. She wanted to go back to bed, and start over. Forget today ever happened.

It amazes me that young girls are thinking and talking about diet aids. I am thankful that Des hasn’t shown any concern about her weight. She is petite anyway, but that doesn’t seem to matter to most girls these days. They still talk about needing to lose weight. I guess no one has really explained that as they get into their teen years their body changes, and might make losing weight unnecesary, and that is assuming that they are a little chubby to begin with. I think too much emphasis is being put on being model thin.

I do not want my girls to be over-weight, but neither do I agree with making yourself model thin.

Lots of speculation abounds on safe diet pills. The safest I know of are a healthy diet and plenty of exercise. I believe that to be true for people 1 to 99. *LOL* The level of exercise might vary, the types of foods might vary as well, but it’s still the safest way that I know of to lose those pesky pounds.

Somehow I don’t have much worry when it comes to the girls at this point. They are active enough to eat anything without a worry of gaining weight.

I am forever thankful that the girls’ eczema is not serious. With the right kind of soap for their baths/showers, and lotion from time to time, it is managed well. In the winter they tend to need a bit more lotion, but I have only had to get a special cream acouple of times to manage their outbreaks.

Some of my friends have described horrible outbreaks, which makes me all the more thankful that the girls have mild cases.
