My wife has gotten into the AdvoCare system – for those of you who don’t know what AdvoCare is, it is a health and weight system created to help you lose weight, inches and promote better health (eating habits). To be honest I didn’t think she would go through with it, much less succeed – but she did it, she took the challenge and lost 12 lbs. in 3 weeks. I am so proud of her. My wife lost 12 lbs. and has decided to continue with her journey. The family has been eating healthier, wiser and together we have lost a combined total of 27 pounds. My wife lost 12, my son lost 10 and I lost a bit over 5 pounds. And let me tell you, my doctor was happy with my results. I suffer from high cholesterol and have been taking pills and cutting down on fatty food. When he saw how I lost 5 lbs. and my test results were positive with good numbers – he told me to tell my wife to keep up the good work. If you want to learn more visit the site: AdvoCare . Here are a few testimonials from the websi

Funny How You Keep Me in a Constant Flux of Confusion We are sitting in the kitchen, my wife, son, his friend Pate and I. We’re eating the wonderful meal the wife has prepared for us when suddenly my wife begins to explain how she cannot simply stand the smell of ketchup - that is why she can't it ketchup. She then says, that she eats ketchup with her white rice but the rice has to be hot or very warm in order for her to be able to eat the ketchup. Of course my son who does not clearly understand the delicate intricacies of his mother’s way of thinking quickly pointed out: Mom, if you hate the way ketchup smells how can you eat it in your rice? She then quickly tries to explain that it is not the same thing, that she can eat it because it is on the hot or warm white rice. My son being his mother’s son, rebutted: But Mom, the smell didn’t change, it still smells the same way, nothing changed. If you can’t eat it because you hate the smell – then why are you eating it?

OK I do this every once and awhile on Facebook because life is strange and some of the conversations that happen in my house, well, are odd, strange and downright hilarious. But yes, like I said, I do it on Facebook because it’s an interesting way to share my funny personal life without feeling like I am sharing too much. So I am going to try it here with you. Here we go. Mom: Son go take a bath. Son: Why? I just want to sit here next to you. Mom: Son, I said “go take a bath” now! Dad: Do what Mommy said. Son: OK, OK you don’t have to scream… Mom and Dad look at each other wondering – who was screaming? Son goes into the bathroom – five minutes pass and Mom and Dad notice that there is no sound of running water. Mom: son what are you doing? Son: I am pooping. Mom: What is taking you so long? Son: Because pooping is relaxing…. Mom looks at Dad: What did he just say? Dad: I think he said that popping is relaxing (then Dad laughs out loud). Tell me you got it. Tell you

Personally I do not believe we can prevent bullying - like I told my children when they were young and still tell them today, some people are just darn mean. They do it for a lot of reasons, they are mean, bad, been hurt, or mentally ill. In either case you (my children) will need to learn when to walk away, when to stand up (fight, defend and even yes hurt this person - even if against school rules) and above all, understand that you need to come talk to me (parent first, unless the need requires an immediate teacher intervention) then teacher (school). Why Parent first, because I want to calmly talk to my child and get the facts, have it brought up to the schools attention and follow up on it - schools can fail and have failed when dealing with 500 plus students. So I want to be informed, involved and ready to act if need be (as in calling police or other measures). I am human, a parent, which makes me partial to my child so I try to keep my emotions in check. For this reason, I agr

Are you Stupid, Dumb, Ignorant, foolish or Retarded? I had an interesting conversation with my children and some teens the other day. I asked them what the following words meant to them: Stupid, ignorant, dumb, foolish, and retarded. It was really fun to watch them try to explain each word and how the discussion quickly became an argument over how each word basically meant the same thing - you are calling me stupid, that I am not smart. After one or two minutes had passed I politely interrupted and I said: “I believe that you guys are all ignorant of the true meaning of each word I presented you with.” They all turned to look at me, each with a disgusted look on their face. I asked them “What, what did I say?” My daughter was the first to speak up – “I am not stupid!” As I tried to keep a straight face I asked her “when did I call you stupid?” “Just now, you said I was stupid...” My daughter’s friend hastily jumped into the fray “Yeah, you just called us all stupid.” She sa
