Calling out for moral support....

Well, first I want to update you on my progress with Resolution #2, working out.  It's going fabulously.  In fact, I'm on day 11 and I feel stronger already..... very sore, but stronger.  I'm eating well...not sleeping as much as I would like...but, for the most part, doing exactly what I hoped I would. 

However, right now, I really want a cupcake.

OK, I know there are many, many mothers out there who have dealt with this dreaded issue: 
going back to work.

If you've followed me for any time at all, you know about our financial woes issues around here.  We have been faithful to do all that we know to do, in order keep Mama home.  Well, it looks like our backs are up against a wall.  This might be the time I have to go to work outside the home.  And Mama is struggling with it a little lot....as I'm sure most women do when they face this. 

Any words of encouragement out there?

Tomato Tea

This is the latest craze around our house.

One night, when my husband could not breathe when he was supposed to be sleeping, he found this recipe on-line as a cure for severe sinus congestion. Supposedly these ingredients are known for their medicinal properties.  Using these ingredients together is supposed to help heal sinus/ear infections, colds, coughing and sore throat.  It was mentioned that it has even been found to kill flu germs and strep throat. 

I don't know about all that, but I do know that it tastes fantastic...and depending on how much tabasco you put in it, it just might curl your eyelashes, too!!  What a bargain, huh?!

Tomato Tea Recipe

2 cups V8 Juice

2-3 cloves garlic crushed (use more if you can) *I used minced from a jar

2 T Lemon Juice

Hot Sauce (the more, the better..so as much as you can handle)

Mix and heat in a pan.  Sip slowly.  Re-warm as needed to get the full effects of the fumes.  It's all natural and healthy, so drink as much as you want or need until you are sure the infection is gone. 

ENJOY!
