Just this past week I have been suffering with bad abdominal pain to the point where I am keeled over...it's dehabiliting...but the strange thing is it passes after about an hour or two...I am one of those people that can take pain and I never run to the doctor unless I really have to..I started with all the tests needed like abdominal cat scans and ultrasounds but so far haven't heard anything..they are leaning toward my gallbladder being the culprit but waiting for the evidence...
Having a home business is wonderful but this is totally interfering with my work..
leads are piling up and I can't seem to get caught up and it's so frustrating..
I am grateful though that I can take the time I need to get this thing straightened out and I won't lose my business..if I was working outside the home eventually I would probably be fired or let go so I am so thankful that will never happen..
Hopefully this week I will find some answers to what is going on with me so I can get back on the horse...

Mothers Day
You know, I am very lucky to have the GREATEST parents on earth and a mom that is amazing in so many ways..
From the outside looking in, some people may think my parents have a "weird" dynamic.
My mom is very rough around the edges but with a heart bigger than anyone I have ever known and my dad is quiet and very passive. So you could say that my mom wears the pants in the family..
Growing up she seemed so strict compared to the other kids' parents and I often felt like she was too hard on me. Now that I am older, I appreciate the fact that she worked very hard and tirelessly to keep me on track. I never hung around with the wrong crowd, I always had hobbies and for the most part I never wanted for anything.
We lived in a very small house but my memories of my childhood definetly outscore any memories of my adulthood, that's for sure..
Mothers Day means so much more today than it ever has and being a mom myself I can obviously appreciate and see how tough a job it is.
Both my parents are getting older and in good health but I know many people not fortunate enough to have them around anymore. I treasure the years to come with both my parents and can only hope that I myself will become to be as good if not better a parent then both my parents.
So this mothers day, appreciate your mom. She may not be perfect..She may have made many mistakes but one thing holds true, she's the only mom you've got! So reflect on
the "good" in your mom and let go of any imperfections. I believe that will help
you become a better mom as well. So Happy Mothers Day to all those moms out there and remember that you can always be a better mom.

Kansas couple married for 67 years die hours apart
I read this article and it really tugged at my heart strings..
Kansas couple married for 67 years die hours apart
TROY, Kan. (AP) -- Residents of a northeast Kansas town are mourning the deaths just hours apart of an elderly couple who were married 67 years. Arnita Yingling died in her sleep early Saturday at the family's home in Troy. She was 93. Six hours later her 95-year-old husband, Lyle, died at a nursing home in the nearby town of Wathena.
At their funeral Wednesday, friends and relatives described the two as inseparable. Some found comfort knowing neither would have to live without the other.
The Yinglings were married in 1941. Both were born on northeast Kansas farms and were active in Troy as members of their church and civic organizations.
I know many of you have read this before but no matter how many times I read something like this, I can't help but to shed a tear..Can you imagine all the memories this couple shared together, all the good times and bad..67 years of a life together..what a blessing and what an inspiration to so many...
My mother-in-law and father in law were married for 66 years and my mother in law passed away this past July 2008..my father in law is still living but it's so hard for him, you can tell...He is still so strong physically and mentally and i think if it wasn't for him having such a love and closeness to his family, he probably would've passed away by now..
These couples show such a deep level of committment to one another..what a beautiful story

OFF THE SUBJECT: MY 3 YR OLD IS OBSESSED WITH CLOTHING! HELP!
I don't know what has gotten into my daughter...she is obsessed with clothes and it's just not clothes, her obsession is with SHORT SLEEVES! For the past few months, a day doesn't go by without the same conversation about how she wants to wear short sleeves...she absolutely REFUSES to wear long sleeves..she also wants to change her clothes like 6-10 times a day..she will go as far as put something on her shirt to make it look dirty so I will allow her to change it..
I have no idea what to do..should I allow her to be able to change that many times a day? a friend suggested that I put a time frame on the next time she can change..for ex. tell her that at 2:00 she can change into a different outfit but not until then..
I am very pleased that she is potty trained finally! She will be 3 in May so we accomplished it before her 3rd birthday but I have been told by family members and friends that I am not strict enough with her..I have been told that I should be making her wear what I want her to wear..not letting her choose..my therapist tells me that even at her age, she should be allowed to choose what she wants to put on..
I'd love to hear some of you guys' suggestions on this topic?

It's TOUGH out there..
The other day I spoke with a woman on the phone whose story broke my heart. She has 4
children and the oldest is 17 and pregnant. She was divorced after 21 years and now living on her own in a small 2 bedroom with all 4 kids and one grandbaby on the way. Although she felt "stuck" there was nothing I could say to help her understand that she's NOT stuck..i know it's hard to see that when everything seems so hopeless but if you continue to think that way than you will only attract more negativity into your life and not only that but you will find yourself in a rut..everyone goes through difficult times but the key is how you respond to those difficulties. Changing your thinking can really change the course of your life but you must start there first. Start with YOU!Start dreaming again and write down what you would like to see change in your life in the months and years to come..don't depend on others to "save you"
Feed your mind with good stuff..find inspiration in books and listen to motivational speakers ...it's YOUR life..you owe it to yourself and your family to change your mindset and then create an action plan..
The Ameriplan Opportunity has allowed me to dream again..this opportunity is great for a person that's a giver..a person who likes to help others...for more information, click here..
We offer Part Time and Full Time and our training is very flexible..you can also listen to a 24/7 Recorded Career Overview call which goes over the details: 616-712-1450 Have a Happy Easter everyone!

Monday, Monday!
It's Monday..the beginning of the week and the beginning of many things to be accomplished...
This past week we made great strides with my daughter and the potty.She is FINALLY getting it..she's had a few accidents but for the most part, she's doing very well..
Things started to change when I let her wear her big girl underpants all day, not at night though because she sleeps with us. If she had an accident she didn't like the feeling of the wet on her..so YEAH we're on the road to NO MORE DIAPERS!!!!
This opens up so many doors as far as work because once she's totally potty trained, she can go to pre-school maybe once or twice a week..This will allow me to work steadily..Yippee!
It's going to be a GREAT week guys!
