My husband has been trying to convince me for years that it is ok to pamper myself. Anyone who knows me knows I always put everyone else in my family first. Even when I have money to buy myself something I usually end up spending it on the kids. It is a bad habit, I know it is. Even when I need something I will put it aside to give the kids something they want. He has made it his mission to give me the things I won’t buy myself. He is even getting the kids involved. They like the idea of giving things to Mommy.

Take today for example. I had mentioned that I would like a new electric can opener a few weeks ago. When we were out shopping this week he suggested I pick one up. I said no, we had other things to buy. He showed up with an electric can opener for me today. I guess I should not be so surprised when he does things like this.

It is like the time I had a negative allergic reaction to the soap we use. I guess they changed their formula or something. That night he showed up with a selection of handmade natural soaps for me to try. It was appreciated. I loved the kiwi mango soap and use it all the time now.

When I complained about my old pans he showed up with a new pan every payday for two months. I now have a lovely set of pans, but could do with some pots. I am kind of afraid to mention it to him though. Who knows what he would show up with.



My husband is letting my kids help pick things to give me. They are little so it does take a bit of guidance so I don’t end up with a Barbie doll and Nerf dart gun again. Though, I did like the Barbie doll and Nerf gun because they gave me what they thought I would like.



My husband tells me all the time that I do nice things for them all the time so it is only fair that I let them do nice things for me. It is a hard argument to win. I know. I have tried. He knows I love incents, aromatherapy oils, bubble bath and fresh ground coffee. For my birthday they gave me a coffee mug full of coffee beans and a little coffee bean grinder. It was a really nice gift. My son came up with the idea of coffee. My husband took it from there. I enjoyed the coffee, and use the grinder several times a day.

I overheard my husband asking our kids to pick between the Champagne or Heaven scented aromatherapy diffuser for Christmas. I am actually hoping they do get it for me, even though I know it is really from my husband. I had read about a Reed Diffuser for aromatherapy oils online and have been interested in trying one ever since. Of course he remembers me talking about trying it so there is a good chance that is what I am getting.

I have to admit that I could get used to my family going out of their way to make me feel special. I like to think that the way they are making me feel is the same as I make them feel, special and important. I know I should put myself first more often but I just don’t seem to be able to. My family is always going to come first for me. That is part of being a parent for me.

Some days it is hard to be motivated to write, or do anything. These days it just seems easier to sit on the couch in front of the TV then working. That is bad seeing as I am self employed. I don’t work, I don’t make any money. If I don’t put the effort into getting off the couch nothing gets done. The kitchen becomes a war zone, counter and sink full of dishes and the table covered with papers, mail, school bags and toys. The laundry becomes a mountain taller than my children. Making it all the more daunting to even start cleaning and that is just after one day of not doing anything.

How do you become motivated again? The need for money is there but it is always there. The desire to do something is there in the morning when I get up, but seems to be gone by the time the kids are out the door. Because I work for myself I have no one to kick my butt but me. If I don’t look for work or promote myself I don’t get any writing assignments or bookings. So everything is up to me and on me. I have to be constantly promoting myself and working at finding work. Then I have to get it done. I have a lot of work to do but not much is something I would get paid for. It seems to be work trying to get work. Some days it is nice to sit back and do nothing. However once you get a day off it is hard to get back to work, especially as there is no quick payoff, but a waiting game hoping for work.

Eventually I realize that I have done nothing for days and have to find some way to become motivated again. I have to force myself to do something, anything and then I find that I actually get something done. So how to motivate yourself is to do something and keep on going. It helps when I get an assignment or a booking. Then I know my hard work pays off. Other days it is just a matter of doing what has to be done anyway and then finding a way to keep on working. The only way to get through this is to force myself to do something and then something else. Then suddenly I am working again, getting things done.

The biggest pieces of relationship advice I can give are know yourself, accept yourself, and then talk with your partner and be honest about it.  If you do not feel safe enough with the person to talk about your desirers and needs then you are either with the wrong person, have not been in the relationship long enough or don’t accept that part of yourself yet.  If you cannot be honest to yourself and your partner both in your relationship and sexual needs then what is the point?  Neither one of you will have the relationship you both deserve because your not letting yourself be open enough.

One of the biggest issues seems to be porn.  Sure ladies like to look at hot guys but most do not become consumed by it the way some men (not all, not even most but some) find themselves with porn.  Porn can cause problems in relationships.  People are always asking about how to get their partner to stop looking or to get off their back for looking.  It comes down to communication; respect and self-esteem, each person and relationship are different.  Some people feel it is cheating or disrespectful for a man to even look at porn and others have no problems with it.  Others are ok if it is something they do together and on the other side of the coin some are ok if the guy looks at porn when they are not around.  The only thing you can do is talk about it and find out what is ok for everyone in the relationship.

It all comes down to communication.  How can you expect to have great sex if your partner does not actually know what you want, what you like because you don’t tell them.  If you are having lousy sex it is probably because neither one of you knows what the other wants or needs and are not willing to talk about it.  Guess what, expect poor relationships and sex if you are not able to talk about things.

We just got our children big kid beds so we need to buy bed sheets and comforters.  That is going to be a lot of fun.  We are actually going to decorate our children’s rooms now that they each have one.  Our kids have interesting ideas of what they would like.  Our son would like dragons, archers, castles, cars or Yugioh.  Our daughter is just growing out of Dora and into Barbie but she keeps switching.  So we had actually started decorating her room with Dora but now need to change it.  She would like unicorns, fairies, Barbie and pink.  Though that can change any moment without notice.  It is going to be fun to create something for our kids with our kids.

We now have a back yard patio area and that is where we actually need stuff.  We have the sunshade but our table was destroyed because someone sat on it when we were not home.  So most of my wish list is for out back.  I would love patio furniture, a storage shed, a new BBQ and some outdoor planters.  We could possibly use a second sunshade as our kids like to play out side and we get no shade in the afternoon.  Right now we put a little splash pool under the sunshade we do have and we don’t have any shade to sit under. 

It is all a work in progress and will probably take me a long time to get the things I would like or need.  The list keeps growing.  We need snow shovels and something to keep salt in for winter.  We need a second computer/work desk already and some toy storage.  The more gardening I do, the more gardening stuff I need.  The more we use the back yard the more things I think of.  I also know we can always use more shelves and I think eventually our daughter will end up with a bunk bed.  We are always going to be changing what we have or need as we change.

Now I have the room for indoor planters, but I think my three year old will still try to dig in the dirt or eat the plant.  However we actually have a little garden area in the front that I planted some flowers in.  It is not working out so well this year.  I had a problem with the seeds not coming up, and there are plants that the people who lived here before planted that did come up.  So it is a bit of a mess, I don’t think the soil is very good, also my one neighbour has a huge bush just on her side of the garden and it is blocking the sun.  It is going to be a difficult piece of land to beautify. 

I am going to be cleaning out the back part of it this fall and then in the spring we will sprout seeds inside and then plant the plants so I have better control over what is in our garden.  I think it will be a lot of fun to do this with my kids.  They can pick out the flower seeds and we will plant them indoors and watch them grow.  When the plants are ready I will give each kid an area and we will plant their flowers there.  Though I am thinking that to get some nice flowers in the very back part under our window I may just get two or three large long outdoor planters and put the kids flowers there.  This way I know the soil will work with the plants and I will not have to worry about weeding so much.  My one neighbour did this on her patio fence and it has worked out great.  She has one planter for each kid and they are attached low enough to the fence that the kids can see into them but high enough so the dogs keep out.

This spring I also I planted some low ground cover perennials in the front and will add some more next spring.  I will also be getting a decorative planter to put on the front porch.  I have to find one that will fit the small area as I share the porch with my neighbour and she already has a small planter with daisies on her side.  It would be easer if I could fit one between our doors but she has a chair there for when she goes out for a smoke.  

What I would really like to do is get some blueberry bushes and some raspberry plants and put them under our front window.  I think they will be hardy enough to survive the poor soil and lack of sun.  Then have the low ground cover to fill in the rest.  They are hardy as well and flower.  Then I would have some flower boxes in the back for the kids.  I may go with ones attached to the fence or ones that sit on the ground.  My only concern is the neighbourhood cats getting into them, but my one neighbour does not seem to be having a problem.  I would also like to add some hanging planters on the inside of our fence.  I would like to plant strawberry plants to hang down.  I saw it once where a lady had put planters at the top of her fence and the strawberry plants hung down and covered it.  It looked nice.  There are a lot of things I want to do for next year.  I am going to go shopping in the next month so that I have what I need in the spring.  That is where I went wrong this year I did not plan or budget right.  Next year we are going to have plants all over the place.

It is very hard to shop when you don’t fit 90% of the stuff out there.  Everything seems to be made for the smaller sizes.  Though I do know that I am not the only one who has this problem shopping, I think everyone does.  I have a friend who is very short but very large in the chest.  It is very difficult for her to find tops that are not to long in the arm, but still fit her chest.  Then another friend of mine is tall and thin.  So thin that often stores don’t have small enough waist sizes for her, or everything is way to short for her.  It seems average is not so average.  A lot of women have to really shop around for clothing to find the right thing for them.  Everyone has different body shapes and taste in clothing.  I guess it is a good thing that there are quite a few places which specials in clothing for the not so average ladies like me.  I just wish there were more in my area.

I am not sure I follow women’s fashions, I tend to buy what fits right both on my body and my pocket book.  Things change to fast for me.  I still have clothing from ten years ago in my closet.  Less sense we did some major reducing before we moved.  We got rid off years of clothing.  I tend to buy things that are going to last for a long time and are comfortable, not what is fashionable.  If I could get away with it I would be in jeans and tee shirts all the time.  Actually that is what I usually have on. 

I am actually going to have to spend some time going through my closet again and getting rid of things I have not worn in a long time.  It is nice to have things in case you need them, but I have way to many tops than I could possibly wear in a year.  It seems my mother got this idea that I had no clothing and sent me $700.00 in tops a few years ago.  Which was nice if they had actually been in my size.  They went from size 5X to 1X and at the time I was a 3X.  So I am starting to fit the 2X and some 1X again.  This means I can figure out what I can actually fit and pack up the rest.  I need the room for my new clothing.

It started simple enough, our 5 year old has been bugging Daddy (James) for over a year to teach him Yugioh.  So one of the neighborhood kids, Austin, was showing off his cards and Nicholas (our son) got right in there and had to show off his cards.  Austin gave Nicholas some nice cards and offered to teach him to play.  Nicholas does not read yet, so James helped him play a game against Austin.  The next thing we know is that there are all these kids wanting to play and learn.

So James started teaching them, playing against them (usually with our son), traded great cards from his collection for so/so cards from the kids so they had decent playing decks.  We even let them use our outdoor table to play on when we were not outside.  So the kids had a game to play, someone to teach them and make sure the rules were being used and a place to play.  Next thing you know is that people are happy that the kids are not getting into as much trouble. 

Well we also sell Yugioh cards on our website and at festivals, so James gave some of the kids deals on the cards so they could afford them and even ordered in items for them.  Everyone was happy, it was a win win situation.  James and Nicholas love Yugioh.  They collect the cards; play the game with the cards, online, on our PC against the computer and game boy.  We have DVD’s of the Yugioh movies and TV shows, as well as Yugioh clothing and even a blanket.  They were spending time together playing against the other kids.

James went back to school a few weeks ago and had to cut down on spending time playing Yugioh.  He can only do it on weekends now.  Suddenly the one kid who played all the time said he could not come over and play against James or Nicholas.  Why?  Well it seems someone started a rumor that it was inappropriate for James to be playing a game with the kids.  Please note that at no point was it ever said that James was inappropriate with a child but that it was inappropriate that he was out in the open area of our townhouse complex playing a card game with his son and other kids.  Why because a grown man should not be playing with children, even if one of them is his own.  Mind you as far as I know no one had anything to say about me being out there doing crafts with my own and all the neighborhood kids.

Suddenly none of the kids in the area are allowed to play with my kids.  We had been kid central up until a few weeks ago.  We would set up our slip and slid, and kid pool out back and let all the kids play on them.  Our kid’s fort is not on our back patio but on the other side of the fence so all the kids can use it.  We even had spare bikes for the kids who did not have one; all they had to do was return it when done.  Though we did have a firm rule that no kids other then our own are allowed in our home.  It was ok to play in the community back yard but if you had to go bathroom or something you had to go to your own home.  Now I have to deal with my kids asking me why no one will play with them when only a few weeks ago I would have from 5 to 8 kids other then my own in our back area playing.  Every day my son is asking to play Yugioh battles and he does not understand why he cannot. 

The funny part is no one has come to talk to us about this, but they are all starting to get upset because the kids are bored again, and getting into trouble once more.  Somehow that is our fault as well.  It seems people got used to us keeping an eye out for their kids and keeping them busy.  One of the parents got upset because we are not monitoring their kids anymore, not that we actually were before.  The irony of it is that the kids are not allowed to play with my kids but we are supposed to keep watching their kids.  It turns out that some of the parents would let their kids play with our kids and then go to the store because they knew we would keep a close eye on their kids.  They never told us they left for the store; we had to find out from the kids.  We had no idea that people were intrusting us with their kids, it is not like they talked to us about it. 

It is all a big mess, and our kids are the ones paying for it.  All because someone wanted to make trouble.  I think it may be the same person who tried to tell everyone we were beating our kids and would leave threatening notes saying that they were going to call Children’s Aid on us.  That backfired on them when I gave them a very public earful.  I was quite clear on the fact that if they thought we were mistreating our kids you don’t threaten to call Children’s Aid, you call Children’s Aid.  It seems that they have managed to run out several tenant from this unit over the last few years.  It is like a game to them.  I don’t know what their problem is but I guess some people are not happy unless they are trying to cause problems for others.

Baby showers are always easy to buy for.  There is usually a list of gift ideas from the parents.  I tend to buy child safety products just because I know how important it is to child proof your home before the little one actually starts crawling.  I love the new customized playpens; they are great for babies and toddlers.  I just wish they had them when my kids were born.  It is still fun to buy baby clothing and toys but I figure I will save those for birthdays, and get a big ticket item like a playpen or car seat for baby shower gifts. 

It is the toddler birthday gifts I have a hard time with.  Each and every child is so different, what one likes another will hate.  Also what they like changes faster than anyone one can keep up.  It seems that all it takes is a new commercial and they want something new.  So far I have been very luck in that I have had enough contact with the children or their parents so that it was easy to find out what each child like just before the birthday.  I will keep looking for sales and stock up on what I can and then just match it to each kid when the time comes up.

If I had three minutes to grab anything in a grocery store it would depend on what store I was at.  I would go after the meat and cheese in my regular grocery store.  We have a freezer and could store a lot, save a lot of money that way.  The frozen meat, like hamburgers would go well.  There are a lot in a freezer section and you can scoop and pile.  However the boxes take up a lot of room so it may be a better idea to hit the fresh meat area first and fill the cart up.  Cheese would be the second thing I would go for if I had time, just because it costs a lot and can be frozen.

If I was at one of the larger stores with more then just food I would have to hit the toy area, and kids area just because there are a lot of things I wish I could afford to buy but cannot right now.  I know that the one store has TV’s, cameras, DVD’s and more.  Though I would probably go for the meat rather then try and fit some of the big ticket items into a cart.

I watched The Cleaner for the first time this week.  Wow what an interesting TV show.  It does give a grime look at drug addiction.  The show does give a realistic view of who can become addicted to drugs and alcohol; anyone anyplace in their lives can become an addict given the right set of circumstances.  It also shows how a lot of people resist admitting their friend or family member has a problem until they cannot hid from it anymore, and then the look for help to deal with a problem way over their heads.

I think it would take a very strong person to keep helping people strung out on drugs or alcohol knowing that 75% of the people are going to be right back to their bad habit once they are clean and out of rehab.  It is not enough to go through alcohol rehab centers or drug treatment programs if you go right back into your old life.  That is how you slip back into your addiction; nothing else has changed except you got clean.  All the old problems, temptations and people are there.  You have to have some type of new life to get away from what tempted you into drugs or alcohol.  Not everyone in your life wants you to stay clean, so you need to find away to remove yourself from him or her and other temptations. 

Becoming clean means you need to make other changes to stay clean.  You have to find new friends and places to hang out at.  It is just as much work if not more to stay clean once you are clean.  It is even harder to get back on the clean wagon once you slip.  You need to have some type of support to stay clean and to pick you up when you slip.  There are a lot of support groups that are available, it is just a matter of making yourself go to one, and then finding the right one for you.  It also helps if you understand The Science of Addiction, this way you know what to expect, and how to fight it.

Life is hard.  It is harder when you have to fight an addition everyday.  It is often easer to give into to it, and give up.  Only the strong or those have found a reason to stay clean succeed.  So if you do find yourself in drug or alcohol rehab give yourself a fighting chance and make sure you have the support you need and find a way to make the changes you need to remove yourself from temptation.  You need to make real changes in your life and how you do things and see things during rehab.  If you don’t make any changes how are things going to be different once you are out?

There seems to be a pill for everyone, but no one pill is right for everyone.  If you are thinking about trying diet pills the best thing to do is check out consumer price watch to find out about what diet pills are out there and what people actually think about them.  They have looked into 200 plus diet pills on the market and compared them for value, ingredient quality, customer feedback, safety, company reputation, reorder rates, customer service, product sensation, packaging, long-term benefits, product convenience, and weight loss potential.  They list the top ten and provide quite a bit of information about each one so that you can find the right one for you.

With any product it is best to do your homework before you take anything.  Most of the diet pills on the market are designed to increase your metabolism or decrease your appetite, some do both.  You want to make sure that you buy the one that does what you want it to.   Consumer price watch does a great job of identifying who (age range, male or female) and what type of weight loss the pill was designed for, and how it works.  It takes some of the guesswork out of finding the right product.

It is also a good idea to check with a doctor before taking any diet pill.  You want to make sure none of the ingredients will react badly with anything else you are taking.  Always keep in mind that exercise and eating properly are the best way to lose weight, but if you feel the need for some extra help there are a lot of diet products out there.  If you are going to use one make sure you find the one that is best for you, both for your health and weight loss.

GPS tracking: Helpful, useful tool or big brother watching?

GPS tracking systems are great as long as they are used properly, not to stalk or control someone.  Ever since I had my children I am all for GPS tracking.  I know that there is some research being done on implants for children, similar to what is currently being used on pets.  The idea is that you can surgically insert a GPS chip into your child so that if they go missing they can easily be found.  It is also similar to the bead technology already being used with credit cards.  Your credit card and identity is put into a little chip, that is about the size of a piece of rice, that is implanted under your skin.  People use readers to get your information and bill you.  Some of the bigger clubs in the US are already using them.  With the number of children that go missing each day, let alone each year, having an implanted GPS tracking system could be a good thing.  It is all about the safety of our children.

There are quite a few products currently available to use to keep track of your children.  There are watches, pins, buttons, toys, and even clothing with built in GPS tracking.  Some have limited range but others are quite powerful and are all used for child safety.  The real problem is that people who take kids make a point to know what technology is available to protect kids and find a way to remove it.  I think that an implant is a good idea as long as it can be removed once a child becomes a legal adult. 

Maybe I am a little paranoid about the safety of my children, but when my son was a baby someone tried to take him.  I had put my son into the stroller, reached into the car to get his blanket, turned around and my stroller and son were gone.  Several feet away there was a lady rushing away with my son.  It was scary but I was lucky to be able to chase her down as she took off through the mall parking lot with my stroller and son.  She did not get very far, but it did make me realize that some people are willing to take any risk or opportunity presented to them to take a child.  One of my friends had a similar thing happen to her in store.  She had her twin boys in their stroller.  Some lady just walked up and then started to walk away with the stroller.  My friend stopped her, and then the lady tried to claim the boys were hers and that my friend was trying to steel them.  Security and then police had to be called to sort it out.

However there is some fear of the big brother watching over everything you do.  This is a valid fear.  I have read the sci-fi books and have seen the movies all showing societies controlled or monitored by Governments using implanted chips to track people.  Advertising companies are already trying to track us the consumers and our spending habits, usually through credit card and cash card sales, so they can market directly to us.  They are always looking for better ways to monitor us, I am sure if there is a way to track us they are already using it and trying to find new ways.  There is actually clothing with smart chips in them to be used to track people.  There was a report on it a few weeks ago as being a new technology for advertisers to track consumers.  I don’t know if it has been approved or not.  But the point is that the technology is there.  As it is cell phones and even GPS tracking systems in our cars are used to track people.   All for our own good mind you, if you call 911 and are unable to provide your location often they can find you by your phone as long as it is on.  The GPS tracking systems in the cars works the same, with the added bonus that if some one steels your car it is easer to get your car back.

However the potential for abuse is huge.  If you want information about someone, use a GPS tracking and learn what you want.  Someone is stalking you, all they need to do is put GPS tracking on your or your car and they know where you are.  The intent of GPS tracking is to help people, but that does not mean everyone who will use it intentions are good.  Anything can be used for good or bad, it is the person using it that determines if it is meant to benefit or harm others.

If someone is going to track you they are going to do so with or with out a GPS tracking system.  Someone who thinks that their spouse is cheating is going to find a way to confirm it.  It may be hiring someone, following them, using a hidden video recorder or GPS tracker.  The same goes if someone is hunting or stalking someone, they are going to hunt that person down anyway they can.  A GPS tracker is just a tool that can be used for both good and bad.

I have to admit that when my kids are teenagers I would like to be able to confirm that they are where they said they were going to be and doing what they said they would.  I don’t know if monitoring them all the time is a good thing though.  It shows that you don’t trust your kids and it is not healthy to spend your time spying on your kids.  It depends on if you are checking on them, or obsessed with knowing where they are and what they are doing all the time.  As with any tool, how you use a GPS tracker is what is important.

With any high demand but expensive product alternatives like Kamagra soon become available.  Kamagra UK sells Generic Cialis™ under the name Kamagra plus.  The idea is that it is a generic version similar to Viagra that helps with ED, costs less with fewer side effects because of its low dosage.  What is cool about this product is that it comes in tablets or oral jelly for those who don’t like pills.

It is interesting how much research has gone into resolving ED and impotence and how many options are available now.  A man having problems can pop Kamara tablets or jelly and expect to have 24 to 36 hours in which they can comfortably expect to get an erection.  Only recently have drug companies started research on female sexual dysfunction (FSD) or Female Sexual Arousal Disorder (FSAO).  I guess it was just not a priority.  Now there is some research being done using Viagra or Lovegra (a form of sildenafil citrate) on women to resolve these problems.  There have even been some studies done using anti depressants that woman on them showed an increase in sexual desire. 

I guess it will not be long before there is a women’s Viagra available on the market once all the research is done and some thing is proven to help.  There are products already available but none of them have been proven in test studies to make a real difference.  The truth is that sex is such a large part of who we are that when there is a problem both men and women are willing to try just about anything to help.  They will keep trying until they find what works for them.  For now there are products that are proven to work for men and research being done to find one that works for women.

At this age they are pretty easy to shop for most of the time.  Last year all my then four year old kept asking for was the Hungry Hippo game and the Bumble Bee Transformer.  Strangely enough the transformer was easer to get then the Hungry Hippo game, it was sold out and we never did get it.  So far this year he wants Lego’s or Mega blocks, dragons, as well as Pokemon and Yugioh cards.  Though it seems every time we go to the store or get a new flyer in there is something new to add to the “I want” list.  I did find this very cool Pokemon Mega Blocks Charizard figure set that I think he will love.  It is Pokemon, mega blocks and a dragon all in one.  He also loves playing video games and I found a nice handheld Battleship game that I think he would like a lot. I do love shopping around for unusual gifts.  The problem is that I find more gifts then I can buy.

Our now three year old is going to be the tough one.  How many dolls do you really need?  At this point she has more then we can store, and she is always finding new babies she wants at the store.  Sure it is easy to find babies and dolls for her but the real question is do I want to buy them?  I would like to get her a handheld leapster learning system or V-smile.  She always wants to play video games at the same time as her brother but is not up to his level yet.  It may make my life much easer if I can get one of these for her to play when he is on the computer.  Right now what she wants is changing to fast for me.  I know that I can buy things now that she wants now, but I don’t know if she will want it at Christmas.  

I have been looking at clothing for her and then buying toys for her just before Christmas.  My only issue with that is that if I shop now I can spend the time finding the really good deals on toys and can afford to buy more.  Also I am somewhat worried about the increased cost of everything as gas prices go up.  If I don’t buy now I may not be able to buy later.  So I will just keep hunting for the bargains and hope she loves what she gets this year.
