How My Kids See Me....

I am amazed at what great children I have!  We went to conferences for all four of them and had not one complaint from one teacher!  Pretty amazing!  Especailly taking into consideration how they behave with each other at home!

One of our children had to write a book of similes about his family which his teacher showed us.  He did an awesome job!

"Dad is as smart as a computer, knowing how to build a fort, knowing how to manage money, and he's always helping A with his brutal homework."

Wow!  After reading that I was excited to read what he wrote about me!

"Mom is like a chef, making the best tuna noodle casserole."

That's it??  I make him food?  Yes I do do that, but don't I do so much more??  I did feel a bit better after seeing that A had written about me being a person who was very important to him.  I'll just pretend that making him food isn't the reason!

I also like to play dress up. (get your mind out of the gutter - that is not where I am heading with this)  My dress up is more of the actual dressing up.  You know, putting on the fancy dress, the nice jewelry, and the high heels to go out on the town for a rare childless meal and evening.  I also enjoy dressing up for Halloween and theme parties.  It is fun to do something different once in awhile.  There is nothing wrong with that!

I do have to question the adults that I see that actually dress up in the same way that my 3 and 4 year o…

It Works! Wednesday - Hope and Help for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

Image
I have run into many people who suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome or IBS.  Irritable bowel syndrome refers to a disorder that involves abdominal pain and cramping, as well as changes in bowel movements.  There are many possible causes of IBS. For example, there may be a problem with muscles in the intestine, or the intestine may be more sensitive to stretching or movement. There is no problem with the structure of the intestine. It is not clear why patients develop IBS, but in some instances, it occurs after an intestinal infection. This is called postinfectious IBS. There may also be other triggers. Stress can worsen IBS. The colon is connected to the brain through nerves of the autonomic nervous system. These nerves become more active during times of stress, and can cause the intestines to squeeze or contract more. People with IBS may have a colon that is over-responsive to these nerves. IBS can occur at any age, but it often begins in adolescence or early adulthood. It is more …
