skin cancer

new reports out are showing that skin cancer rates keep rising, amid all of our slathering on of the chemical sun screen.
Does it really help?
Does it really even matter?

I haven't used sun screen often in my life. Often wonder if one day I will drop dead of melanoma or. . . will my friends who slather the white goo all over come down with it and wonder why.

pills, vaccines

i sit here and think every day of the things i could write, of the things that go through my mind and than out. the world is so aggravating. listening to how people expect doctors to make them all better with a special pill.
here take this magical pill and it will make you skinny, dont worry you dont have to work out you dont even have to change how you eat. really? are we all so stupid, well apparently most of the population must be because these pills have become such a hit. now i sit back and wait for people to get major side effects from these pills that were rushed to market because the populous wanted them. than we will turn around and sue the pharmaceutical company for making such a product. how could they make something we want and rush it to market with out looking into its side effects. but do we, personally each of us, think about it? no. we just pop the pill in our mouth and expect it to be what it is suppose to be.

i hear about these children who get these medicines and the parents complain about the side effects yet they give them to their children and dont question the doctor. really? are you that stupid!?! really? lets give this to my child, this little piece of me that grew in me (or my wife/girlfriend) and see if it effects them. i'm sorry, personally, i do not work this way. if i wouldn't put it in my body my children will not get it. stupid doctors. . . hell stupid parents for giving their children all of this junk to put in their little systems.

new vaccines are out for babies, and what is this vaccine? it is rotovirus. what does this do? oh it is a sickness that can give your child diarrhea, dehydrate them. OMG how scary is that. and so we let the doctor give this to our babies, and the side effects are worse, if not the same, as the sickness itself. WTF!! seriously are we that stupid that we just hand over our infant and go, yes please, yes give my child this vaccine even though if i watch my child and take care of them properly if they get this sickness it isn't that bad. only a few infants die yearly of the rotovirus and yet the pharmaceutical companies have deemed it necessary to make this vaccine and we hand over our infants, or babies, our innocent children and let them take this vaccine.

now dont think i am against vaccines because i am for them. i think there is a place for them but the rotovirus vaccine is a bunch of junk that the pharmaceutical companies decided they needed to make to take more money from us, or from our insurance companies.

than there is the gardasil vaccine. truly they rushed this sucker to market and there are little girls that will now never have a baby, never be able to enjoy the experience of being pregnant, or having their own baby in their arms. the side effects of this vaccine are nasty and yet the doctors push us to give it to our children, boys and girls!?!?!?! really? let me kill my child's hopes and dreams with one vaccine.

little girls want babies, most of them, and dream of having a family and how they would love their babies. and this vaccine takes that away from them. the effects have yet to be seen in little boys, but they are telling parents that both boys and girls needs this vaccine.

oh doctor, doctor make me all better. . . and in the dark shadows he/she makes you worse in the long run.

make your own decisions, dont listen to your doctor. look at your options and find out if what they are saying makes sense. are you sure this is for you. whats right for one person isn't always right for the next. . .infact i think all of our bodies are different, right? isnt that what we are taught when we are little, that everyone is different and that is what makes the world such an interesting place? and yet here are the doctors coming along and trying to tell us that what was right for the patient before us is right for us as well.

ramblings of thoughts

when i was little i dreamed of being a mama and all the fun i would have with my children. i knew i didnt want to raise them in the manner i was being raised in, but i did know that i would be strict. did not realize how hard it is to not be your parents child.
i am very glad for the role models i have, now that i am older. like to think that my children are growing up in a happier home than that of which i was raised.

that being said. . . i do not understand why so many parents do not go with their gut instincts on discipline. why do parents allow their children to get by with doing so many things that they know they should not be allowing! it doesnt just hurt your child as a child it hurts them as an adult because they have to relearn things they should have learned properly as a child.

i realize that parents believe they are raising children but really? you cannot teach them that this is wrong and that is right? there was something quoted to me with tiffany was younger and it has stuck with me all this time (all of six years or so, LOL) and that is, "we are raising adults, not children." now this can be taken many ways. the way in which i take it is that if we do not challenge our children and teach them the way of doing things correctly and that chores need to be done before play time (even though as adults we have issues doing this), than when will they learn this? When they are almost thirty and looking at their house going, man do i need to clean.

honestly it isn't o.c.d. kicking in, it is just the point at which you were taught as a child to clean. growing up i kept the house clean, dusted, vacuumed. out on my own i have found i dont like cleaning 24/7, didnt than and i dont now, so i let things go a bit (okay maybe more than a bit). eventually i start cleaning, but i would rather be outside in a garden or watching my children and/or husband play with toys. truth is everything else is more interesting than cleaning. even a little bug that is crawling under the magnifying glass.

seriously, how many of us really like telling our children, "leave me alone," "go away and find something else to do." think we would rather go and paint with them, or do clay models. my little artsy girl really has me going to my sewing machine.

speaking of my sewing machine, i took it apart last night and oiled it and put it back together. very proud of myself. why should i pay someone to fix my toy? honestly, what is between me and my machine besides. . . oh i dont know an internet filled with information of how to do this and that. thanx i'll keep my money and play with my machine till it is working. now to go sit infront of it and play with fabric.

catch ya later.

Well,. . where has the time gone!?!

One week of Tiffany's "vacation" is already gone.
Now her real spring break has started and the week is about half over! Little does she know that tomorrow we will be going to a little place in Apple Valley to do beading. I cannot wait to see her face when she see's it.
Kiran loves having her sister home all day. She wakes up and she is so happy. When Tiffany is sleeping in she looks up in her bunk try to see if she can wake her up, it is just to cute.
Tiffany's trip to Camp Ocean Pines went so well that she wants to go back. They are offering a summer time thing and she us to send her to that one. I am looking around to see if there are any good camps around us. I have heard there are a few in Big Bear, so we shall see if anything happens.
Kiran has started eating meat, the jar food, and seems to love it. Once it is heated and mixed with some type of vegetable she chows down like there is no tomorrow.

gone for the week

so tiffany is gone for the week, back on friday. very nervous about her trip, i know she will have fun but i just have that small inkling of a thought something bad will happen. gotta love that glass is half empty feeling.

when she comes home i know she will have lots of stories to tell about what she had done, and hopefully new friends made.

kiran seems to be fighting a cold and her poor nose is just running a mile a minute.

so much going on

The time is going by so fast. It feels like we were just talking to tiffany's teachers about the cambria trip (ocean pines) for her 5th grade field trip, and now on monday she will be leaving. she is excited as can be and we are going this weekend to buy her things for the trip. thank you to everyone who helped make this trip possible for her, as it wasn't just us that put in money for her trip.

kiran will be turning one soon. i cannot believe it has almost been a year since i had my baby. almost been a year since a wonderful baby shower my friends threw me and made so enjoyable by their presence. I miss my brother though, for sure. it was wonderful how he was willing to stay at the baby shower even though he really didn't want to be there.

i cannot wait to see him again. and bro if you are reading this, no your post yesterday about missing us didn't help. i miss you lots too and the time we spent together. but very glad that you stayed with us before you left on your life trip :-) and I know you are happy doing what you are doing, so that helps.

still not sure how i want to do kirans birthday. i know i will be throwing a party for her, but than for tiffany i think she will be having a slumber party this year.

been looking at old pictures i have and realizing that we need to go back on vacation. Been a while and I think we all need to get away as a family, hmm what to do, what to do. haha

Science Project Time

Well, it is that time of year again.
This year Tiffany decided to do her science project on crystals; and so we are making homemade salt and sugar crystals. We will see if they form differently put in different places of the house and outside. I am thinking some food coloring in them would be kind of cool.
Either way we have found out much interesting information. I did not know that the Egyptians and Myans used stones for healing purposes. . . of course, in all reality I never knew much about stones/crystals/quarts in the first place.

babies. . .

what do babies think about?
they see all these things they dont know and they lay there and "play" with it. you have to wonder how scarey it must be, to be so small and powerless in this big world. the only person you really know is your mama.
mike thinks this could be why we dont remember things from such a young age. i think this could be very true.
all the blood curdeling screams a baby makes, and why? because they have every reason to be scared. how are they to know that when their tummy hurts mama will feed them. how are they to know when their bottom is dirty it will be cleaned. repetition takes a while, and until then they dont know that you will take care of them.
