My Hero!

A few weeks ago I fell trying to catch my son from running in a very busy parking lot. I hit a slick spot and down I went. I have been paying for that fall ever since. I wish I would have took picture of how bad I was bruised up. I was purple and blue from head to toe.  I used Lavender oil to heal the bruises along with detox baths. But the thing that I just couldn't get to heal was my wrist. When I fell I tried to catch myself and landed with most of my weight on my wrist. Needless to say it was out of commission for quite a few days. I did everything I could think of to help it heal. I wrapped it, I soaked it but as soon as I thought it was getting better I would over do it and re injure it by picking my son up or a box at work. Sick and tired of being at my wits in I got online and searched if there was and oil that I had already in my possession that would help speed this healing along and low and behold there was.

Lemongrass... lemongrass can help heal ligaments, Who knew!! So I mixed a drop of lemongrass oil with a carrier oil and massaged it onto my hand and wrist. For good measure I decided to add some valor afterwards to help aid lemongrass and to keep from re injuring it again. With in 24 hours there was a huge difference. I could lift my son with out cringing, I could actually get a few things done at work the next day that required heavy lifting. I was over the moon! I don't care what anyone says this stuff is magic in a bottle.

I am continuing to put lemongrass and valor on at least once a day till I feel my wrist is completely back to normal but I don't see that being more than just a few more days. I encourage anyone who has not tried this for an injury to do so.

Weather Confusion

First off so sorry to have been gone for two weeks. A terrible virus is sweeping though our town and you guessed it, my whole house got it. First it started with little man and lasted a week and then it hit both the hubs and me. But I am happy to say that we are now all back to normal aside from Whalen's allergies which have picked up with all the weather confusion going on around here.

 I know we are not the only place with weather confusion but man I wish that it would just pick a season and stick to it. I myself am not a fan of  "real" cold weather but I love Fall weather. Living in Louisiana fall usually lasts about a week in December and then full on winter minus the snow hits till about mid March. We have been lucky this year that we have had a few fall like days sprinkled here and there over the last two weeks which has been nice. Shameful to say but on those day I got all decked out in fall gear with boots, scarfs and all. Then the next day it was back to 80 degree weather in October. Oh well what are you going to do.

Halloween is coming up quick and I can't wait! The hubs and I are taking a little get away by ourselves the weekend before to New Orleans. RJ's family all live in and around New Orleans so it is not like we are going anywhere new or far away. It will be nice to get a little time to ourselves though you know. I plan on writing about our trip so stay tune for pictures and stories. Trust me you will want to see this, we are going to be dressing up and heading down to the quarter. Who knows what kind of mischief we will get into.


Oh and I found this fun new app for my phone this week called Studio. Look at this fun picture I made. (Studio has no idea I am writing about them, I just really thought it was a cool app and wanted to share with my friends.)

                                       

Blue 42

Ok I don't know how many other ladies have been tricked into this but my husband convinced me and several of my friends to have a couples Fantasy Football league... Sadly it looks as if I have started to take it quite seriously. Sunday football has become pivotal in what kind of mood I am in. If my team is doing great I am in a great mood but if my team is doing poorly watch out because I may become the queen of hearts. OFF WITH HIS HEAD!

My sister has pointed out to me that I am "far to in to this" as she would put it. I must admit she might be right. I play her this week and I have shamelessly stalked her team and what she has been doing with it. I have even called to confront her on collusion with her hubby. Which in fact was so true, He has helped her pick players.  FYI he has his own team. If you know anything about FF you know this is looked down upon and is almost like cheating. So it is my mission this week to win against her.  We are currently on the fourth week and only time will tell if I will make it to the play offs. But I am checking my players almost daily to make sure everyone is still up to par. The jury is still out on if I will do this again next year. I guess it will depend on if I do well or if I end of stinking it up.

For those of you who could use a laugh I have included this hilarious video about if the rolls were to reverse in football. AKA this is me right now.

A moment of silence for Lime

Sad day, it has come to my attention that skittles no longer has the lime flavor. They have switched lime to green apple! I am not the biggest fan of green apple flavoring so this is horrific news to me. I just though I would share this sad sad information with you this morning as we all morn the lost of lime.

baby snuggles

so what a weekend! blogger and I were not getting along on Friday so I was not able to get my high five Friday post up, sorry guys. Anyways this weekend was so busy, but really relaxing at the same time. I truly did not want it to end, I got to spend the whole weekend with my guys. This never happens! The reason is because my little cousin had her wedding so hubby got to take off work on Saturday :).
Today is very bitter sweet because I have to work ALL day and will not get to see hubby or little man till tomorrow. I was hugging and kissing on little man all morning, you would think I was not going to see him for a month. I don't know why but this morning just seemed harder to let him go. I really hope this day goes by quickly. I am ready for some baby snuggles in the morning.

Good bye October

Its that time of year again time to gorge ones self until they can no longer move or function. where has this year gone? I feel as if this whole year has just been a blur. back to turkey month, I myself love this time of year and can't wait to gobble up some turkey. So lets celebrate that magnificent bird this month! Fact of the day: did you know that Benjamin Franklin wanted the turkey to be the bird of the United States instead of the bald eagle? Arn't we glad that didn't happen lol..
