The Truth About Sickness

Here is a pursuit of truth for you. What actually contributes...guarantees good health? Our family has been consistently sick for 2 months now. I am starting to think that like eating for your blood type there is a optimum climate for me and Alberta is not it. And therefore the only thing that is going to heal our family is a trip out to the salty sea air of the coast. I mean really, we were never this sick in BC and we have tried EVERYTHING! Regularly, the only people that I know of that eat better than we do is Lola's family. We get ample fresh air (which, in this province, I am unsure exists), plenty of exercise and drink lots of water. We take vitamin D and C supplements and when I started to feel sick, jacked up on oil of oregano and vitamin B100. I have tried everything from gargling with tea tree oil and of course just salt water to barricading ourselves in our house and avoiding all the other sickies in this town (of which there seems to be an overabundance.) So what? We are entering into round two of Beauty and the Beast and I am on vocal rest (but I don't think that actually exists when you have a toddler). I will give a prize (seriously) to the person that can give me the most effective remedy because nothing seems to work.

An Apology

I am sorry. To all of you whose phone calls I have not returned or email messages left not unread however unreplied to. To all of you who I would love to have coffee with or sent cupcakes to...I am sorry. Life has swallowed me up and as much as I would like to blame Beauty and the Beast, work or children, it really just comes down to the fact that I have retreated to my house and hid here for probably too long. I have to admit that when life gets busy the first thing to go is socialization, even though this is when I need it the most. I suddenly become vulnerable and without the confidence to reach out, I find other sources of rewarding validation.

Like my garden....that I just created and right now looks fabulous....the trick will be getting something to grow. With the help of youtube, my hubby and mom we have created two fabulous raised beds and tried to clean up my trailer trash yard (at least we got rid of the dishwasher on our patio).

Oh and did I mention Beauty and the Beast. Tickets are available at the Arts Academy or Video Hut .
