Six things about me,
1. I love both of my jobs. I absolutely loved being a sahm but when I had to go get a job I was lucky enough to get the best job in the world. I love my job. At first it was really hard being on my feet 12 hours straight, my feet hurt for about the first 3 weeks, now they are completely used to it and I can wear my croc wanabees or tennis shoes. I love that I only have to work 3 1/2 days a week so I still feel like I get to be a sahm during the rest of the week, plus even on the days that I do work I come home for an hour at a time, 3 times a day. So I still get to make my kids breakfast and lunch and pick my two oldest up from school and that makes me feel better about having to work.
2. I enjoy all types of craft stuff. I love to crochet and draw. I love doing ceramics, though I haven't done that since high school. I enjoy scrapbooking and I also like to sew custom decorative blankets, they aren't the best looking in the world but I like them. I am currently working on one for My mom and m-i-l.
3. I like learning about alternative medicine. I do not like rx medicines, they all have side effects and I just feel that people become too dependent on them. I am lucky enough to have 2 in-laws who have studied holistic healing extensively. My husbands grandmother has her docotorate in holistic healing and his uncle has studied for about 35 years. I still have a lot to learn about it, but I do get phone calls from several different people who ask me what they can take for a cold or how to increase their breastmilk. I have even been called a guru by Rochelle.
4. I used to have the cutest in-betweeny belly button and I just loved it. Now I have a deep dark cave. It is very ugly to look at and I try very hard to make sure no-one sees it. It stays a cave even through my 9th month of pregnancy. Kimi once wanted to do an uncovered belly pic of our bellies when She, Rochelle and I were all preggers at the same time and I refused simply because of my belly button.
5. I love pigs. I think they are sooo cute. I have always said that someday I will own a little black pot bellied pig and he will be named Ferdinand. I still plan on that, it will have to wait until I have a bigger home and more land, but someday it will happen.
6. I love bubble baths, it is the only time that I have to myself when I am home, even then I get the door knocked on at least 3 times every time I take one. I always think of the old calgon commercials when I am in there and they come knocking. "Calgon, take me away!!"

Thanks for keeping up the tag. Don't feel bad about your belly button, mine is a cave too, it never pops out when I am super preggers either. I also am very ashamed of it!!
Well I think you are both just beautiful.How could you not be, just look at your moms side of the family. (Ha Ha) OK so I am going to ask the guru "What can I take to make me not get car sick? Is there such a thing?" I love you all. And I'm excited about this tag thing. I hope I can do it right.
Brit, this tag thing has made for some fun reading. I love bubble bath's also.
Your belly button, I'm sure is still cute, you silly girl!
Natural remedies for motion sickness include: 1: Ginger; Studies conducted so far suggest that it may help reduce motion sickness, but it doesn't appear to be help if the nausea is severe. Ginger should not be used within two weeks before or after surgery or by people taking "blood-thinning" medication such as warfarin (Coumadin) because it may interfere with blood clotting and prolong bleeding time.
and 2: Accupressure; According to traditional Chinese medicine, pressing on an acupuncture point called "pericardium 6" (P6) may relieve nausea and motion sickness. The point is located on the inside of the forearm, about two inches above the crease of the wrist.
A person can press on the point using the index finger of the opposite hand.
Alternatively, acupressure wrist bands, often marketed as "sea bands", stimulate the point. The bands are worn on the forearm. They have a plastic button or bead that puts pressure on the p6 point. The person wearing the band can also press on the bead for additional stimulation. Acupressure bands cost less than $10 for a pair and can be found online or in some health food stores.
Other Tips for Preventing Motion Sickness
If you know that you get motion sickness, keep your head still. Rest your head against your seat.
Don't read. Depending on your mode of travel, try focusing your gaze on a stationary, distant object.
Avoid spicy foods, alcohol, or overeating. You may wish to try having dry crackers or a carbonated beverage to settle your stomach in case your stomach is upset.
