Today I HATE technology!

Technology and I have a love/hate relationship.  Today I hate it.

A and I have been working on a big english project for his class.  We have been saving it on a zip drive so that he can work on it at school with his teachers as well.  Last night I sent the zip drive with Ryan so that he could print it out and put the pages in a nice book format for the presentation.  Unfortunately, the drive was completely empty!  The computer doesn't even register that there is a new drive plugged into it!  Ahhhhh!!!  All of that work!  GONE!

I can remember in high school typing in a huge paper and then something happened and I lost all of it.  I wasn't as calm as I was last night.  I actually threw myself on the ground, kicked, screamed, pounded my fists on the floor, and went balistic until I felt a little better!  Yes, I threw a tantrum in my late teens!  (sometimes it does help)  I don't remember if I recovered my work or if I had to start over again, but it stunk!

Fortunately, this time, I had emailed all of the documents except for one to Ryan at work earlier in the week thinking that he could print them off then.  He forgot, but I still had the email in my sent folder so I was able to recover everything except for the bibliography which I didn't work on so I have no idea how to reconstruct it!

Playing Dress up...

Image
It's fun to be a kid and their fun is often contagious, but sometimes you adults need to draw the line and remember that you are adults and it may be wise to put on your big boy pants...

Lola and Tyce love to play dress up!  They like to put on the princess dresses, their brothers' clothes, my shoes, and even adorn themselves with objects like buckets or weeds!  When left to their own devices you just never know what they will get into next! 
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 …
