Family visits and how parents treat kids differently.

This past weekend my brother brought my father here. As my brother was wanting to shop for Tax Free Weekend. So I was hopping my dad would help with some thing for Charlie, But he didn't do that. Now I could have asked him and he might have but I did not want to do that. So this made me miss my mom more than ever as she would have helped me with Charlie without me even asking.

But my sister has been working on her home the past couple weeks and so my dad has been giving her money to help pay the gentleman working on it. Now it would not bother me so much if she didn't work close to 99 hours in one week and make over $15 a hour.

Where David only makes $10.50 a hour and hasn't been getting overtime so we are struggling and my dad knows this. Plus he was in our home and we had mentioned we needed to finish painting and needed 2 gallons of paint to be able to finish and we haven't been able to even afford that.

Did my dad offer to get it for us? No, of course not. All he did was take us out to dinner which was nice and paid for it. But I would have rather had more time with him. As he was not feeling well so he slept most of the day on Saturday at my sisters house. So my brother stayed over there and we didn't get to visit with him much either.

Then on Sunday they spent the morning with my sister and came by my house for about 20 minutes before they went out to my Nephews as they was leaving from there. So all I can say is I thank God my brother did bring my dad as he is going down hill fast. But it would have been nice to be able to spend some real time with him.

So it seems like it may be time for Charlie and I to take a Road Trip to Oklahoma to see my dad as well as my Aunt and Uncle. Because as we all know no one lives forever and Charlie needs to see his family and to spend time with them. Even though my dad is not always the nicest and doesn't treat us all the same he is still my dad.

Butt Workouts by Chia Booty written by Mike Danford

I was sent a code to purchase  Butt Workouts by Chia Booty through AMZ Reviewers but the thoughts in the review are all mine and mine alone.

Butt Workouts by Chia Booty: Allows women to grow the booty we have always dreamed of. As it offers the best butt exercises and workout for women. It is a Kindle Book so you can take it anywhere with you.

I have been working really hard the past couple months to lose all the extra weight I am carrying around. As I think it is part of the reason my knee hurts a lot of the time. So as I exercise I pick certain parts of my body to work on and tone up. One of those areas I did not think about was my butt. As to me it it is just there and why do I care what it looks like. But the more weight I lose the more afraid I am that either I will end up with a huge butt or one that sags so much it hits the ground. 

So I was excited when I found Butt Workouts by Chia Booty as it would allow me to build my butt up so it would not do either of the things I think it might do. Plus I thought Charlie might like doing these exercises with me and I was right. 

We have only been using them for about a week but I can tell the difference as my clothes fit smoother. I do not take up as much of a chair when I sit down.  Plus my butt is not as flabby and it does not jiggle as much which I like. Even David says it looks much better and that he may need to try out some of the exercises and see what happens. 

I like how he breaks the book down into three different segments and that the first part does not call for equipment because at this time I just do not have the money to purchase Exercise items. Plus there is a section on nutrition and I must tell you we do not eat right in our home. So this section is helping us change that. As we are eating better and I am not as tired as I was. Plus I am losing weight in more places than just my butt. Which is awesome!!

There is even links inside the book that will take us to the places he is talking about. Which is great. The exercises are not to hard that I can not do them. Nor do they wear me out but I can still tell I did a workout which is great. As it leaves me enough energy to still walk my 10,000 steps and my mile in the pool.

So hopefully by this time next Summer I will be a much younger better tomned women. Who has a nice looking Booty that people will not make fun of when they see me coming. As I will be 51 on my birthday and I am not ready for a Rocking Chair yet!!

All in all I loved this book and will recommend it to my friends as well as give it to the ladies in my family as Christmas Gifts as we all can use some help in the Booty department. 

So if you do not like the way your Booty looks check out this fun and informative book on Amazon at: As I just ust saw that on  on Amazon: Butt Workouts by Chia Booty: Grow the booty... by Mike Danford for $2.99 http://amzn.to/1KCCLml via @@amazon

Please Pray as today is Court day.

David has to go to Court this morning on a couple tickets he got last month. I am so afraid they are going to take his license away as this is the second set of tickets he has gotten in two months. If they take his license away David will not be able to work. As he has to drive to different lots for work. So Please Pray for him and the Judge to have compassion and not put him in jail or take his license away. Because if they do either Charlie and I will not be able to survive. If this happens I do not know what we will do as there is no one to help us out. So I know God is in control and knows our needs. But I am still afraid and scared and so is Charlie. As he knows we have to go to Court today.

While there Charlie will be staying at his grannies which is OK as he loves to play the game. But I know he will be worrying which is not good for him. Plus Davids mom and dad are worried. So Please Pray for them as well. As Stress affects there health and I do not want them to get sick over this.

In Gods name Please take care of my friends and family today. As I know you know our needs.
May everyone be safe and feel your love in there time of need.

What do you do when you have a friend you know who may be dying??

I have a friend Laurie who lives in my apartment complex. She has several health issues including a sleeping disorder. She does not have insurance and can not qualify for medicaid. Which upsets me. The medicines that she has to take are being discounted and we have searched every where for them. The only alternative she has is to take Ritalin and if you have heard of it then you may know about all the side effects that goes with it. If not, there is a lot as my daughter took it for a while and it is horrible. You do not grow and you bruise so easily. I am so afraid that this is going to do so much more harm than good. So we have spent a lot of time looking for the first medicine she was taking and we can not find it anywhere. I am to the point that I just do not know what to do to help her. If she has to go on Ritalin. It is so expensive that I went on line today to look for some pharmacies out of the country like in Canada to see if Canada drugs might be less expensive.Or that they might have some alternatives and I did not find any. So if things do not change by the end of Dec. and we get her the meds she needs her body will start to shut down and she will die. How am I supposed to just stand by and let this happen? What would you do? Tomorrow I am going to contact a pharmacy I saw online which is a Canadian Pharmacy and I sure hope they will be able to help us out. As I saw quite a few things I like on there site including that they have a low price guarantee. So tonight I am going to email my friend the site which is for the Canada Pharmacy and I hope that she finds the meds on there or at least one similar and that she can afford it. Because at this time with my husbands job up in the air I just do not have the funds to help her. If you all would Pray for Laurie and her husband Chris and the meds she needs I would really appreciate it.
