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...

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. ...

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...
