Happy Thanksgiving

Thinking of all my family and friends today.. Hope everyone has a wonderful day!!

Why do kids lie?

This has been a worry for me for many years.. I know that my kids lied to me.. hid things and so on.. I'm over that now.. and they have all turned out so great.. Now I have one boy at home.. for the most part he is really good.. he's a good kid.. but then I find out he's lying about things.. nothing big.. but it still bothers me.. did you clean your bathroom.. yes.. do you have soap and shampoo.. yes.. did you wash your hands after taking the dog out and then before making her food .. yes.. All of those were lies.. Why?  When it would be just easier to tell the truth?  He has to know I'm going to find out.. and then what?  I'm the full time stepmom.. I don't want to be mean but this stuff really bothers me..

Organizing!!

I'm going a little nuts with getting things organized.. Even living in a smaller space it seems that things pile up.  Plus when we moved we had tons of stuff that had to be put in our second garage and in closets.. I would love to have the garage cleared out so we can park in there.  Would be nice to have it done before it starts snowing.. Also some closet space for things that we really use.. I'm doing the timer cleaning/organizing.. I don't take out more than I can get finished at a time.. After I work for a while I use the timer to take a break and then get back at it.. the next work time I have to deal with the stuff I've pulled out.. then start on the next batch.. it's kind of fun.

I have been feeling so much better lately.. I guess that's why I am getting so much more done.  I'm not sure what it is.. but I've been taking Juice Plus.. My Mom, Sister and her husband and some friends take it and swear by it.. so I'm trying it..  I've felt so sick for such a long time and now I'm getting better.. could this be the answer?  If anyone is interested I have a wonderful consultant who would be happy to talk to you about it.. her name is Susan and if interested just let me know and I'll get you in touch.. Amazing!! She is trying to grow her business and is so enthusiastic about it.. has learned so much going to seminars etc.. She says her health has improved and she's lost weight.. even though I don't think she needed to.. but then seems like everyone wants to.
