Miracle for Sore throats!

Normally I don't blog about remedy's or things like that, but I am all about making myself or family feel better with out medicines, that cost to much or require you hunting through a pharmacy to find those....Most of the time you can find things right in kitchen or home to cure common colds.

About a year ago I was hit with the Flu to end all Flu's. A sore throat so sore, that I couldn't even swallow my own spit. It was then I discovered what I like to call a Miracle in Jar. I took a tablespoon before bed one night when I was sick and when I woke up the next morning, I was able to get down oatmeal, and some herbal tea where I as before I could hardly get down a drink of water.

So here is my little secret

1/4 teaspoon Ground Ginger
1/4 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar 
2 tablespoons water
1-2 tablespoons honey (to taste I always put extra honey in mine)
Take 1 tablespoon by mouth as needed. 
It doesn't need to be in the frig, but it does taste better cold.

I wouldn't recommend this for small children, it doesn't taste all the great and the Cayenne pepper might be a little much for small children, but if your children are use to "spicy" things then maybe they can handle it. 

Like I said it doesn't taste great but if you can just get 1 tablespoon down at least twice a day you'll feel better in a day or 2..... 

Another day

Hello,

Well things have changed since the last time I blogged. Things have changed for the better. Each time I log onto this blogger I think to myself, I am gonna blog more often. But often times I was afraid of what I was thinking. Afraid of what others might think.

I have spent my life walking on egg shells, caring about what others will think, and trying to please other people. But Last week somewhere, some how I grew a voice, and said no more....No more. I don't care what others think of me. I know who I am in Christ and that is all that matters. God has filled my heart, and my mind with so many things to speak about that I don't know where to begin. All this time I was thinking that facebook was the place to be free, and maybe for some it is, but for others it's not. I am getting there..... so far now I will keep my freedom of speech in my blogs....

Stay tuned for some great things in store (if you want to)

Another Day

Another day...Oh Hum, with out Joey! I am so Sad. I miss that little brat so much. I am not sure I can do this all summer. Go a week here and there with out seeing her. She did call yesterday and told me that she is ready to come home already. Which made me feel a little better.

I had all this week to get out there and find a job. Which I have tried. I've been to a couple place here and there and applied to a lot of jobs online but nothing yet. But I know that God has the right job for me so I am just going to keep looking and that job will come along.

I think I finally go back at my neighbors last night. I just needed to get away for a while last night, and by get away I mean I needed some time with God...So while Ray was watching Batman the Dark night (Blahhh I hate those movies) I went into the the room and shut the door and turned on the iPod and just laid there with head phones on which by the way can go pretty loud. I turned it up all the way and just laid there for about 2 hours with my worship music on, and stang my heart out. Which for those of you that don't know. I can't sing very well. Actually...I can have a great voice you just can't hear it. Ha ha ha that is what I was told by Pastor Chad. That God loves it when we sing, We all have a singing voice that God loves to hear. He always encourges us durning worship to sing out hearts out no matter if we have a great voice or not because God loves to hear our voice. I am not sure how loud I was singing. Ray never came in said anything but he had the Surrond Sound on so dang loud the walls were shaking. So I am not sure if he could of heard me anyways....but either way with my singing or the Surrond Sound I am sure my neighbors weren't too happy.

I am not cut out for this house wife stay at home mom. First I have to have a kid to be a stay at home mom. I do have a kid. But she is visiting her Sperm donor (as we like to call him) for week. It freakn amazes me that this guy can not pay child support not pay medical bills, not pay health insurance but yet have rights to my child. But that is our court system that fails so many single mothers, and kids these days.

So my daughter is gone for a week and I am stuck at home. Not a fun Job. Today I did laundry that was the highlight of my day. When the highlight of your dad is laundry then something needs to change.

I can't wait till my daughter comes home. I was good for a day without her, but now I need her back. And from what I hear she isn't having too much fun at Sperm donor's house either. She called today and said that she wanted to come home. When I told her she only had a couple more days there, she told me "7 more days...I want to come home now." She is counting the days! I am sure she misses her life. Sperm donor lives out in the middle of no where. And my daughter is use to having her friends around. We live in a huge apartment complex and she has a lot of friends here. They keep knocking on the door...and I keep telling them she is gone for the week. So she is use to swimming with her friends, riding bikes with her friends, and did I mention the apartment complex playground is 10 steps from our front door. So she is not use to sitting in a house watching TV all day.
