Growing up I was always the tallest girl in my class but I was normally one of the biggest and I don't really mean by what most people would classify as fat. I was 2 grades behind. I have a larger bone structure than a lot of girls. So I have always been classified as a tom boy and I am!!! It didn't bother me till I got in to around 7th grade. Then I started filling awkward. I started wearing baggy cloths at one point. I wish I had of new how to dress my self better during those years. It took me along time to get out of not wanting baggy cloths because I didn't want to show my curves off. I'm sure it never helped not being in to fashion and not really careing for new trends till I've spent sometimes seeing the trends but most of the time now I like to wear what I want to wear. Cause really who do u know that is wearing stuff straight out of the fashion run way or magzinez. "Real people?" I don't call that real people.
Today March 4th for the first time ever I sat down and cried about my size. Most people tell me I look good and i don't need to lose weight. But I don't fill good and I don't love my body. I'm so frustrated when buying cloths. Cloths are not made for the girls between plus size and "normal size" if that's a real thing!
You would think at the age of 33 I could pick stuff out for my self but at one point I had my friend size me for jeans. It was a great dession. Getting sized for bras is also a great thing.
But shopping just makes me want to hide and cry in some stores.
There is one store that I love.
I think one thing more that frustrates me is that my 9 year old son is calling his self fat and he isn't. We have asked family to not tell him he is fat or gained weight. That is frustrating thing. I have to try and in courage healthy habits and I need to be healthy as well.
I have to be healthy be active and remeber when I really want to say sitting on the couch is not Gona make that belly you ate worried about go away not to. My son should not be thinking about that and I shouldn't be putting my self down. I should be loving my self.

I have been so exhausted from work! I'm not even sure if I am coming or going. I work a 40 hr a week job. I am hoping I am brave enogh to wear my menstral cup to work this round. I started on Saturday after work. I picked up some OT this week. Lots of OT!
Anyways---day 1 got home started insertion went fine I am still opting to use the Lena Large. Mostly because of my flow and I also fill like I just didn't have inserting figured out last month! The rest of my day went fine.
Day 2 --- no issues again.
Day 3--- back to work we go an I get scared!!! I think I was in panic mode for a little bit. I had try in put it in 3 diffrent times at least. But I opted to still wear the menstral cup to work cause I gotta change this habit. I get to work around 4 and desided I needed to empty at 9. My period wasn't very heavy so I didn't empty my menstral cup the rest of the work day till after I got home. My flow was not heavy this time so it wasn't to bad and worked out fine. I do have to say I was more comfortable than I had been in a long time at work on my period.
Day 4--- so far so good! No issues at all. The day went smoothly. My period has lighted up so I can say emptying wasn't a big deal today. I think my period seems to be shorting up with the change to the menstral cup. Which is great cause it was so eregular towards the end and would seem like I spotted for days after what I should have been done.
I think you defently have to be patient with this and not think this is going to be a walk in the park. If you don't at first figure out the correct placement that can make it more difficult to use. I think I just panicked last Month. Going green for this cause is liberating for my self. No chemical filled tampons. Now just to be brave enough when we are on vacation this summer to not laps back to tampons. I will defently post about that trip if I start while on vacation. Which I should according to my calander. We will be riding motor cycles in South Dakota. So I am mentally trying to prepare for that.

Pressed pennies
We decided to take a trip to St. Louis at wasn't planned well all we knew we wanted to do was go to the Zoo. We went got there and got our hotel rooms and decided to go to the Arch. Pretty amazing to see. But we should have made reservations for going up we are going to have to go back and make plans so that we can make reservations I had no idea that the Arch would be thay busy. Wow. But it was pretty amazing.
We got some food that evening and settled down at our hotel since we would have a big day of walking.
St. Louis Zoo is free and is amazing. We got there earlier. We collect pressed pennies for souvenirs but we were a little unprepared so between my parents and I we dug out enogh quarters to press plenty of pennies. We didn't do every machine that we seen. I seen 7 total.
It cost $0.51 to press. The cheapest souvenir ever and you can do things with them. Each machine has 4 diffrent pictures to pick from. We love doing them and the kids love them.
I am going to be looking for a picture frame and maybe putting foam behind it. Or a folder with base ball card holders. Not sure yet.
Here is our Amazing collection.
I love them and they are great reminders of our trip to the Zoo.

Round 2 Lena cup
Round 2 with my Lena cup. Since my cycle started at work and I'm a little uneasy about the cup opening I still opting to wear tampoms at work. So I come home get a shower and insert my cup. First night I'm thinking I got this. It has been a hole month and No it didn't work out ok the first try. It took a little bit. Once I got it. The rest of the night was great.
Oh my smells! Day 2 as I'm running to the restroom I smell the dredged oder which isn't strong but thinking wow I don't notice this with the Lena cup. Then I get a whif of someone else. And I have the urge to say I know how you can help that. But I contain my comments. Oh my ladies there is a better way it just comes with learning how to properly use the product. Anyways I get home with the plan to get a shower and change. My plan get changed. I didn't make it to the shower till around 6. Once I did again I was having issues with getting my Lena cup to fully open. For me I was thinking the postion of sitting was the best so as I was inserting and thinking of all the tips I had read I'm running my finger around the rim of the cup and realized I'm feeling my cervix below my cup I was trying to insert upperward and not downward Bam! Game changer! It popped open just as soon as I tilted it downward.
Over night no leaks. I went to bed around 11 and sleep till around 7 ish. Once again remebing that I needed to tilt the cup down ward a little it opened right away. So far so good. I'm a happy camper. :) The day went good no leaks I was able to get in and it pop open evertime I emepted.
Until!!! I started getting ready for bed. I was filling super good about the menstral cup. So I had a little trouble at first but got it and I felt it pop open. Thinking I'm good I go to bed. I was woke up in the middle of the night by my neighbor playing....Not big deal it's still good no leaks... I get up and go to the bathroom to get ready for the day and I go to empty it. Wait....My
cup was not right in side like it had been. My menstral cup was side ways!!!! My cervix had went back up during the night and the menstral cup had moved. It was a little harder to grab but I got it. My period tends to be crazy and not consistant. A huge reason I have choose to use the menstral cup. I can use it and not worry about being dry and other various things.
I'm hopeing I am brave enogh next month to wear it while I am working although I have not gotten my emptying schedule down I am loving the menstral cup. I fill much more free. The semptoms of things I felt while weareing tampons are gone. Man what a game changer.
So many people are grossed out by the menstral cup but I wish I had found it a lot sooner.
I did contact Lena cup during this round of my period for advice and I. Am Supper impressed with the comapny. They are sending me a free small cup even thought I'm not convinced I need it maybe on the lighter days at the end of my period but it still impressed me that they would do that.

Menstral cups? You do what?
If you are thinking of trying a menstrual cup do it. If you don't know what it is research it and think about it. I get that it grosses some people out but it doesn't others. And for some who have issues with leaking threw tampons such as my self this is a game changer. I was so frustrated back in December when I had an Aha moment and thought there has to be a "green" way out there. Boy was I right. I have also had a friend have cervical cancer recently as well. Tampons Are full of chemicals and I often have issues with them. So finding out there are menstrual cups made in the USA of medical grade material. I was supper excited. I choose to purchase the Lena menstrual cup.
I think I had a much different experience than all the blogs I have read about first time menstrual cup uses. Everyone I read started off with how frustrated they were from the get go. So my first time inserting my Lena menstrual cup it sealed. Score so excited I don't have to fight with it. It was later in the evening so I wore it all night. That evening no issues.
My First use over night. I loved it no mess. I often when using tampons wake up and as soon as I get out of bed if I am not already a mess I fill a gush. This morning no mess no gush. Even more thrilled. So I get ready for work. I Clean the cup and reinsert. I get to work and I fill a leak after being there for a while. So I make a dash for the restroom. UGH! Not what I wanted to do. I get it corrected. The rest of the Day goes pretty smooth. I basically forgot about it it's so comfortable. That is till almost time to go home. That never happens with a tampon. Getting ready to go I all the sudden fill a leak I knew then I had over filled. Sure enough. I got home and got a shower cleaned up/showered. Here comes the sad face!!!! :( I could not get it to reseal the rest the after noon no matter what I did. I would think I had it but didn't. So it was in and out of the bath room. Later that night I thought I had it so I went to bed. I didn't leak till I got up

❤️love❤️
❤️Love❤️
Love is....... How would you end that. I can think of a few ways to answer that. On August 29th I watched a dear lady take her last breath as a husband morn the loss of his wife. Seventy years together. I remember seeing them kiss about 14 years prior to this and thinking I want that in a marriage! Real love! As Pawpaw would touch Mawmaw's head as we watched her gasp for air it broke my heart. It broke my heart to watch a man that love his wife so much to sit next to her in her final moments of life him self breaking. My heart was breaking also because my wonderful Mawmaw was gone. Love a commitment that lasted, a couple that did everything together. Held hands, put there arms around one another. Still loved one another. There was no me or I it was We! More relationship need to be we and and not me.

Smoothies
I have been MIA for to long from my blog. I hope that I can find things to write about again. It's been on my mind lately and amd really want to write so my effort starts hear today!
Smoothies who doesn't love a good smoothie in you favorite flavor from the coffee shops!? I love them but I don't love the price. My favorite one is a called Lava flow. We have a little place in our mall that has quite the collection of choices when it comes to flavors. I pretty much stick to my normal choice. Tried something diffrent once and didn't like it. So the thought of paying so much for a drink to find out I don't like it No thank you! Anyways! The flavors of lava flow is strawberry and piña coloda. Supper easy to achive at home.
Lava flow
Simple syrup
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
Bring water and sugar to a boil. Pour in to container to keep and let cool.
Simple syrup cooled
Strawberries
Pineapple canned or fresh
Pineapple I juice use it from canned fruit
Cream of cocanut
Place as much or little of ingredents as you like in blender and mix. This way you can control which flavors are stronger. You could even do the strawberry separate from the piña coloda part and make a cool looking drink.
Hope you enjoy!
