Holding up

I'm holding up okay these days. Having this experience of being a 'single mom' while Warren is working in Utah has probably been better for me then I want to admit. The responsibility of doing it all hasn't been easy by any means but it's showed me that I really can do it. I think it's made me a stronger woman in many areas. Though, I feel extremly blessed that I don't have to work outside of my home. Warren still provides an income for us and I can't complain in that department. Yet, there are many days I wish I could call Warren and tell him " I give up, come home now and take over"! But since I can't I've had to find creative ways to make things work. Relying on the Lord more has been one of the greatest and most positive changes I've come to do.

My children and I are staying very busy with fun and work. We've had something going on or to do everyday since school got out. That's been a good thing for all of us since it helps keep us from being too lazy and helps pass the many days until Dad gets to come home for his next visit.



Off the subject- but I wanted to share something I find gross but fascinating. I bought these Kinoki Cleansing Detox Foot Pads the other day.

As you can see in the photos above {not my feet} you wear these foot pads to bed that are full of herb powder: Bamboo & wood vinegar, Tourmaline, Eucalyptus, Chamomile, Vegetable Fiber, Lougat Leaf , Chitin and Detox Herbs and by morning the toxins in your body are pulled out on the pads. It's SO gross! But I think it's amazing that there's a product on the market that can do this. Very cool. I guess Asians have been doing something similar for years but this is now being introduced to us Westerners. I've used them for 3 nights already and my pads haven't got any lighter {they're supposed to over a few days}. Which means I've got some severe toxin build up in my body. YUCKA! Pretty interesting, huh? I really like using them- especially when you can see in the mornings the toxins that have been pulled out of your body. The benefits from using these detox pads?
