The flip side
Who says the rain can't help. To the flip side I can just go get some soap and make the best with the free water!
When life gives you lemons make lemonaid! Right?

how long will this last?
Where do you go when the rain start to fall and wont stop
Getting drenched and cold I almost can't hang on to that warmth I felt just days ago
How far do I have to reach before I will be relieved
Can I barrow your umbrella
I'm trying so hard not to lose hope and trust faith
It feels as some days are dry but you can still smell the moisture from the rainy day before
Then a new cloud travels along and nothing but thoughts of another down poor
I'm trying to hold on and be strong
yet I am feeling so week

More than just food
Before I learned more about IE I had learned some very good need to knows about house hold cleaning products. I have tried to switch over to the eco and family friendly products out there.
You know how when you eat certain foods they make you feel a certain way?
Got a headache? is your dishwasher on or did you just clean your bathroom or do your laundry?
Most in store products have a lot of useless chemicals in them that are harming our home environment. I learned that it can take 3 days for chemicals to air out of your home. So if your using them daily when does it have time to air out? Also chemicals all linger below your knees. Who's breathing in that air? Your kids and pet oh ya and when your sleeping your then breathing in from that area as well.
I used to be part of Melaleuca they have great products and you can build your own business or even sign up to get a discounted member price, you don't have to be a member and pay the listed price. Also I have been finding other products that a good prices and you can buy them bulk on amazon. I have also noticed Target's have expanded their eco products and are at a good price as well.
I thought I would just put this out there for people to learn a bit of what I have. Since I have switched over to these products I love them and there has been a couple of times where I ran out and used some of the other brand again and noticed the effects and never really put it to the products.
Like the fabric softener I used to use makes my nose itch and makes me sneeze, when I thought about it I used to do that all the time just never realized it was that until I had switch I always just thought it was allergies or dust just didn't know it was that.
Also I was getting head aches when cleaning my bathrooms and the dish washing detergent gave me head aches.
Here are a list of the products that I have used and use. I haven't had any problems with them yet.
Melaleuca products:
I have used all the cleaning products and most of the personal care products.
Earth friendly products:
laundry detergent and dish soap (the dish soap was ok)
eco breeze fabric spray (it's like febreze only better!)
toilet cleaner
tub/bath cleaner
I have a spot remover just haven't used it yet
multi purpose clean works great
Clorox green works natural dish soap (I love it!)
Seventh Generation: I've only tried the dish washing detergent for the dishwasher and love it!
There are so many when you are looking for them like on Amazon some can be pricey but if you can find them in the store I think it is worth it.
I am still looking around to find the good deals. Like the seventh generation dish washing detergent was 3.79 at Target. Amazon has it as a 6pk for $24 something making like $4 something with free shipping. Where as Target isn't too far I think I would just do that, but they don't always have it in stock.
OK I think I'm done. Thought I'd spread this along.

Life changes
Feeling the push and pull of life these days I can't believe how strong I feel. God has put me in the right places at the right time.
This weekend as I was cleaning and thinking about wow 2008 is coming to an end soon. We are only 3 & 1/2 months away from 3 years since our house was built. Looking around and seeing all the changes that have been made as our family grew from having a new born and a 2 year old when we first moved in. Now we have a 4yr old 2yr old and a 1yr old. Now the girls are sharing a room and my sons room has changed from a baby's room to a little mans room.
It all just flew by so fast and looking back at it things feel like a struggle at first and then you get used to the constant changes that come along with life.
But it all begins with the foundation. Built from the ground up, built on something solid so that we can build a strong beautiful home.
The concrete in my foundation is taking form and is become solid. It's been almost a year it will be in just 3 short months to when I broke ground on my new journey. That's was when I gave up the fight and needed to strengthen myself.
I believe God has sent me out on a journey to find myself and I am enjoying every challenge he has given me because I have learned from it all. I am not just sitting back expecting things to change I am making things change and I am the only one who could do that for me. He has given me strength and helped me find the courage to brake threw the wall that blocks my path.
I have made so many great new friends along the way. My friends through thick n thin along with learning who my real friends are and what they really mean to me.
My best friend just left this morning and I am so proud of him. He is taking a big step for our family. Being away from everyone experiencing new things with out me and learning about new things. He is excited about finding a job but wishes he didn't have to be away from home. I know he is being tested on his new path and this will all be worth it. We both will have learned just how much we love each other and our kids will be able to see this.
I should know if I think back my dad was and still is a traveling man, for work. This will be a great experience for both of us as long as we see all the good that comes from this.
This is another peace to our foundation and we are building and we will never stop because God has a beautiful plan layout for us. The seeds have been planted and I can't wait to see it bloom!
