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 ...

16 days later...

Well, it's been sixteen days since my last post and well I can honestly say that I am totally disappointed. I thought that I would see some sort of growth but I haven't. What's worse is that my nails are so thin and weak that I had to actually cut some of my nails because they tore. Not because they grew. They were weak to begin with but at least they feel a little better. I mean I can now take a shower and the hot water doesn't hurt my fingernails. I am also a bit perplexed at the my second to the last finger. If you look close you can see the part of the nail that had solar on it and the amount of growth but my nail never got longer and this is not one of the one's that I had to trim. Things that make you go hummmm.  So here are my nails. I have been using the Nail-Aid Keratin for 16 days. It says 3 days growth but in three days I saw no growth. I have been receiving e-mails and comments suggesting that I use the O.P.I. Nail Strengthening but I refuse. ...

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...
