Hooked and Catch-up

My husband doesn't really like to watch T.V. but somehow I have him hooked on Jerseylicious, Project Runway and Big Rich Texas. Not that I am complaining I am just surprised. Since I haven't blogged in awhile I will try to do a quick catch-up.

July went by too fast but my birthday (nope not telling which birthday) was awsome. My oldest friend and her family drove up from Texas to stay with me...at the same time...my sister and my nephews did the same thing. There was a lot of people, tons of kids and it was well worth it. I had a blast. My friend is moving to Massachusetts for her master's degree and we wanted to have some fun first. So after the week was over the house felt real empty and noiseless even with my two kids.

As July went on a lot of developments happened with hippotherapy and cheerleading. Schedule changes and setting up meetings have me very busy. Also, the newest development is that I am going to take my LSATs in December. I am still not sure about going into law school because of the money but I figure why not take the first step and see where it leads me.

I am also in the process of trying to lose weight and I am starting out with a good body cleanse. Marty and I are doing this whole system called Isogenix. I have heard good things and am hoping that it is as good as it sounds. It's very expensive but we will see.

I will keep everyone posted.

Isn't this over yet?!

Sometimes I just want to scream! It feels like the last 2 and half years have just taken a crap on me and my family and there seems no end in sight.  Oh let's recap shall we... 2016 was my son's first open heart surgery followed by a plethora of doctor's appointments and other surgeries. I thought it was over by the end of the year and took the advice of Whitney Houston and friends when I exhaled. However, my fun filled days were not over yet and I found myself dumbfounded by the turn of events in my life.  2017 started out fine...well not really. January brought us the bad news that our black Lab Molly Mae had cancer. It was in her bones and basically there was nothing to do but love her.  So, that's what we did. We took her home and loved her. Then, in April we were informed that my son needed to have another open heart surgery because the tissue valve that they put in was not performing the way that they thought that it would and now needed ...

3 day nail check in

It had been three days since I have removed my nails and coated them with Sally Hansen's Hard as Wraps nail covering. Now the directions say to take off the polish after three days and restart the process all over again with two (2) new coats. When they say that you need to remove the polish after three days and start over, they mean it. Here is what happens on the third day, prompting you to remove the polish. My nails with the initial tear on the polish. The polish starts to lift and tear off. It started with a small uplift on the side of my nails and I pulled off the rest. Surprisingly, the whole thing came off without having to use nail polish remover.The problem with that, though, is that my nails underneath are still very thin and weak.  In this picture the nail is bent. It's a little hard to see it but I am bending my nail. The weak condition of my nails has continued and I see no real change to them . The next picture is of  the top of my nail, showing the te...

It's been three months....

Okay it's been three months since I started this journey. I had decided to stop being a slave to my fake nails and go all natural. For better or worse, I wanted to stop putting so many chemicals in and on my body and just let nature take it's course. Having said that, I knew I was in for a rough ride. For starters, I have been wearing solar/acrylic nails since I was sixteen years old. I now have a 16 year old daughter of my own, so you do the math...I will not help.  Anyway, The first two months were hard. My nails were so thin and weak that I could actually bend what little nail I had backwards without pain. So I cut my nails down to the quick and decided to start new. I first started with using Sally Hansen's Hard as Wraps but found out that they have formaldehyde in it. So I changed. I over to Nail-Aid's Keratin and 3 Minute Artificial. It is made in America and does not use formaldehyde and does NOT test on animals.  So, I saw little to no improvement...
