Mommy if you were a Zombie...

I was watching the 2nd season premier of The Walking Dead on AMC last Sunday when my daughter asked me the inevitable question, "Mommy if you were a zombie would you try to eat my brains?" Ahh...what better question than that on a chilly night in October? I reassured her that there were no such things as "real" zombies and told her that I would never try to eat her brains. Of course with all the new zombie movies I've been watching in honor of Halloween coming up I am not surprised at the question just at which kid it came from. My daughter of thirteen years asked me instead of my zombie-mesmerized son. He had watched every single scary movie I have put on. Now I don't really like the kids watching scary movies which is why I usually watch then late at night when 1. it's more scary in the dark and 2. the kids have been sent to their rooms to unwind and sleep. But I have caught my son watching these movies through the slats on the staircase on more than one occasion.

I have resolved to watch my horror flicks in my room on my computer away from the kids. But I can't help but wonder if this, too, is harmful. The world is not a perfect place and they will see these things inevitably. They see all kinds of scary commercials for these movies. So the question beckons. Should I or should I not shelter my kids from these movies? On one hand, I would rather they see them with me so that I can explain that these movies are only fake and that zombies are not real. On the other hand does it really cause some sort of mental scaring seeing all of these ugly movies? I used to watch them as a child and I didn't turn into some mass murderer. I feel that I am "normal" well as much as one can be I guess. So guess I will continue to watch them on my own and be there for my kids when they see them (behind my back or couch). Zombie or not I am still concerned with their brains.

Until next time...

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. ...

Change of the guard, nail style

I have had the flu for the past week which offered me the opportunity to spend time with my nails. Turn a negative into a positive, right? Well, after my last post I thought about the products that I was using to try to get my nails to grow.  My Pinterest account  Jennipher Dallas  has been getting a lot of "likes" and repins. My board 'Nails I wish I had'   has especially been getting a lot of attention. One picture in particular has had over 300 likes/repins since my last blog. The picture is of the OPI Nail Envy Nail Strengthener. I did look up OPI and although they do not do animal testing but there is formaldehyde in it.  When you're sick you think about how you got sick and what you need to do to get better. So this got me thinking about the stuff in the products that I use. Formaldehyde has been linked with Cancer . Now, I'm not going to go into to all that stuff and preach about it. Everyone has to make their own decisions. But I decided t...

Dilemma-ethical-uh?

If you google the word dilemma it comes up with the following definition: "A situation in which a difficult choice has to be made between two or more alternatives, especially equally undesirable ones." Then goes on to give synonyms like quandary, predicament and vicious circle.  *Sigh* Well, wonders never cease in my world and for the sake of my sanity I hope my five whole readers understand what I am about to spill. Everyone has someone in their family that does not sit right with them (I'm trying to be ambiguous here for a reason). I am no different. I have no real family anymore. Since my father died almost two months ago, I have NO family anymore. Sure, I have a sibling, who is a complete and utter moron. This person is a run away from responsibility, self-centered individual who I have tried to help throughout the years. The other person is a selfish, self-centered, manipulative, gas bag who thinks the world revolves around them and goes out the ...
