Child Discipline....

   We gonna talk about a big issue that's going on right now with Adrian Peterson, child discipline. We all discipline our children in different ways so who are we to say another parent is wrong in the way they do it? Personally, no I don't want you telling me nothing, point blank! They are my children, I take care of them, not you. My oldest is 5 and he's in the stage of questioning everything. We use to be able to tell him something 1 time and he would do it but now he do have to repeat ourselves. At 5 you are old enough to know right from wrong. Even younger then that you know right from wrong. My son knows if he doesn't listen there will be a consequences. There is nothing wrong in this. A spanking (whoopin, pop, etc) is one of his consequences we use. Do I think Adrian was wrong for whoopin his child, no I don't. Now did he take it a too far? This should be the question were asking and not questioning spanking. I'm sorry but I believe a child needs to have an ounce of fear in them for you. If they have fear then there will be respect in return. My saying is, " If they don't respect me as their mother or have respect for adults then there will be no respect for the law!" If there is no respect for the law then what are the chances they are going to stay on the straight line? I don't know the answer but I don't want my kids to give it to us either. What forms of discipline work in your home & with what age? What our your thoughts about Adrian? 

Goals for 9/15....

It's Monday and you know what that mean, GOAL WRITING time!!!

Weekly 
1) Continue walking this week.
2) Go through BudBud's old clothes to pack them up and give away. (being a blessing)

Monthly
1) Learn all feats on my social media accounts.
2) Write twice a week.
3) Go to church every Sunday. (Not allowing any distraction to take over our emotions)

I try not to overwhelm my plate especially with the weekly goals so I prioritize. Little BudBud doesn't always help getting goals accomplished so we take one day at a time.

It's Sunday and we are getting ready for another week, we had an amazing weekend though. Friday we went out to Grapefest which has become a tradition for us, lol. Grandma treated us for the night. We had funnel cake, fried potatoes and corn dogs! Everything we didn't need! The kids had a blast playing around though. Saturday dad ran a 5k and we were there to support him. Hopefully I can get in on one too and run it, a wish right now. Today we made it out to church which felt great. The past three Sunday's we haven't made it to where we normally go so being at "home" we were back to comfort. Mikey cried when we picked him up from his class as he wasn't ready to leave. It's indescribably the feeling to have a child that loves going to church, and it melts your heart when your children are missed in their classes.  We wrapped up our Sunday by going to the park and picking dinner up. Our babies were exhausted so we laid them down early, yippee! No resting for mom as I've been busy getting work done. Unfortunately night time is the only time I have for myself  but being productive always feels good. :) 

Staying motivated...

  Biggest Loser premiers tonight yes! Biggest Loser & Extreme Makeover are shows I absolutely love to watch. They  show reality! For some being healthy is easy others (like me) not some much. Some people starve them selves, some workout, some watch what they eat. I don't starve, let me tell you, lol. Working out combined with good eating habits will take you far. My hubby & I also use Herbalife which helps out too. I say it all the time, everybody has to find their own motivation! You can fall but you have to get back up. Everyday is a new start, never give up on yourself! 

Blessings.....

  What are thoughts? Do you believe in blessings or do you see it as luck? Is it having a drive for something and your hard work paying off? I believe our answer will be based on your faith,  let me explain. Not everyone's belief in God is the same so if you don't believe in God I would say your answer will be, "I work hard so this is why I have what I have." Maybe if you've known God but have drifted away or have just denied him it may be,"  I'm lucky!" When you believe in God you'll say," I'm blessed." These are just my opinions so please don't bash me.  There's also the people that say, "We're blessed!", but don't necessarily live the lifestyle even though they know God.  What's your view? Luck, right place at the right time, blessing, hard work, etc?

  So many things to talk about.... Negative but true, positive, gossip, motivating, uplifting, drama etc etc. Do you like getting all the juicy details or would you rather not know? Do you watch the news to know what's going on? Is there a radio show or tv personality that is your go to? What about your social media news? Do you have to be in the know at all times?
  Personally watching the news isn't always my cup of tea. They are their to pass information along but most of the time I seem to start worrying about something new! Is this only me? With phones now you don't need the news, FB can replace news. With apps you can check your weather, traffic, have music and so on. ( too many things to name)
  Now, with all that we have do you feel as if we are losing touch with society? I don't need to call anyone I can just look at FB, to learn more about them you can follow them on Instagram or Pintrest. I don't remember most peoples numbers or email address because there are so many others ways to get in contact with people. Are you obsessed with your phone so you can stay in "touch"? I'll say this when I don't have my phone I feel "naked", yikes, lol! I know I'm not the only one, lol,  lets be honest :) Or are you ok to be out of touch so you can just enjoy life?
