A Work In Progress

Prescription Medication Commercials



The prescription medication commericals and all the warnings and side effects crack me up. Through out the entire commercial they list the possible side effects from the drug. It makes you wonder if they are actually getting all the possible side effects in or maybe they didn't want to pay what it would cost to run a commerical long enough to get them all in. They are enough to make you not want to talk to your doctor. Have you ever read the pamphlet the pharmecist gives you with your prescription medication? The warnings and side effects are practically a page long for most medications.  Going on prescription medication is something I try to avoid unless it is completely unavoidable. With the commercials they have out there, why would you want to go on medication? It seems like whenever they put you on one medication, it becomes like a snowball effect. They put you on medication for one thing and then in no time they are putting you on medication for something else. Even though some medication is necessary, I just think doctors over prescribe medication.

Spring Is In The Air

Now that spring is finally here, everytime I pull up in the driveway I think "I need to find some time to come out here and clean up the ugliness of winter and lets not forget the mess from the dog going outside all winter and not being able to stay on top of all his little presents he leaves behind. The back yard looks terrible. One problem with living an area where you get a lot of teens and kids walking by is they don't know what it is to use a trash can. We live right down the street from a 7/11, so we get their Slurpy Cups and candy bar wrappers on their way back home.  Everything goes on the ground as they are walking by and your left to clean up the mess after someone else's kid. People throwing trash on the ground is one of my pet peaves and the kids around here are terrible for that.

My neighbor across the street can't stand it either. However, if you throw trash down on his side of the side walk he might come after you and throw it back at you. One day when I was sitting in my back yard, some teens threw a pop bottle on the sidewalk while he was out there doing yard work and he picked it up, threw it back at them and told them to throw their damn trash in a garbage can, not in his yard. I couldn't help but laugh, because you do get tired of picking up their trash. Before you go out and cut the grass you have to take a bag with you and clean up the trash. Teenagers have such a lack of respect now a days. When I was a kid we knew better than to throw trash down on the ground. Especially, in front of someones house.

My Hump Day

Everyone calls Wednesday hump day. I call Thursday my hump day, because you know you only have two more days before the weekend is here and it seems like those two days go longer than the first three days. For me Monday through Wednesday just flies by. It's when I hit Thursday and Friday, the days just drag on and wear you out. As long as I can remember, I am always exhausted on Thursdays. It seems like I don't want to get out of bed in the morning and I can't wait to go back to bed at night.

I work out of the home and I work part-time for my old boss at home. Yesterday, was one of those days where it just seemed like there was too much work to do. I went to work and worked until 5pm, then I went grocery shopping. Something I didn't plan on doing, but the kids seemed to be eating more than usual this week and we were running out of everything. Then put away the groceries and  I cooked dinner and as soon as dinner was over, I worked for my old boss for almost two hours. Which I am always more than happy to do. He rewards me well for helping him out and I like to see him get work in the hope that maybe someday he will get back on his feet and I will get my old job back.  Life was much simpler when I was working for him. By the time 10 o'clock came, I was ready to fall into the bed.

The house is cleaned and the kids are off to school. So, off to work I go.
