I was watching a show on tv the other night about drug addiction. This woman was a total mess. I feel so sorry for children, she had 3. They were all pretty young too, so that makes it even harder. They needed their mom, and she wasn't there..mentally or physically. She was always gone getting drugs or doing drugs...that's just sad.I just feel sad for the children in these situations. They didn't ask for that kind of life or deserve that kind of life. They have no say in the matter and that just breaks my heart.

If you know someone that needs help, please don't waste anymore time...get them help! Now! Find them a substance abuse facility today. Take them to the closest drug rehab you can find, don't waste valuable time. I know lots of people think.."what's one more day"...sometimes that one more day is the day you will regret for the rest of your life. Please, especially if there are kids involved..get them help..Today!

Yeah, that's right! I'm kicking it's butt! lol! I'm getting faster and can go longer on it now. I usually am walking(really fast) for about 35-40 minutes now about 4 or 5 nights a week. I haven't weighed myself in a while, but I am feeling better, and that's what counts. I'm not totally dead anymore when I get off the treadmill...I actually feel pretty good. So that's awesome!! Now if I could just take the best fat burners that I have, I would be doing really good. I guess I need to get the bottle out and set it somewhere where I'll remember to take it. I have a huge problem with "out of sight, out of mind." So I think I'm gonna go do that right now...lol!

I was looking at the news online yesterday and saw that a local 12 year old boy was almost kidnapped. How scary! He was outside, and 2 guys driving a pickup truck got out and tried to drag him into the truck. He managed to get away. I don't know how, but he's lucky he did. Who knows what could of happened, it definitely wouldn't of been good. So that's awesome that he was able to get away and tell his parents what happened. Makes me not want to let my kids outside for a little while though...and that's sad. It's sad that we have to worry about stuff like this happening....I know it happens, but it just so scary when it happens right in your town. So far I haven't heard any news about if they found the creeps or not that tried to kidnap him...Let's hope and pray that they do.....

We rented out our house!!!!! Granted its for only half the cost of our house payment, but its something. The family renting it our friends of ours, that we've known since we were both kids. So I don't think we'll have to worry about anything there. They are very nice people. They have 2 young boys and were living in a small apartment. Two boys + apartment= not good..lol! They couldn't be boys and just run around! They can now though, so that's cool. They have a yard of their own to run in all they want. I'm sure their mom will love that..lol

So over the last week or so they've been moving stuff into the new house, little by little. Luckily they are moving a very short distance...there lucky, cause long distance moving is a lot more involved, ya know, moving trucks and stuff. I think they are all moved in now, so that's good.

So I'm happy, it helps us out, it helps them out....and two boys are very, VERY happy...

Do you wake up with back pain every morning? I do....and I'm only 30! My back is so stiff and sore in the morning....I'm beginning to think I have arthritis or something. My grandma has arthritis in her back and so did one of my uncle's. It must run in my family or something. All I know is it hurts really bad. After I get up and start moving around it feels better, but boy does it hurt before I get up. I really should go to the doctor about it, but I won't, I'm stubborn like that.

My mom has really bad knees. She walks with a cane and is in pain all the time. I'm hoping that she will be able to get a double knee replacement sometime in the near future. She can't keep going like she does now. It makes every day things very hard. Taking a shower is hard....because she has to lift her legs over the side of the tub. I would love to get her one of those walk in tubs. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. They look very nice. Heck, I'd like one for myself..lol!

It seems to me like you either get a bad back or bad knees? Isn't that weird? Maybe not, but I was just sitting here and it popped in my head. I'm bored, can you tell? LOL!
