I have always been green or tried to be at least. I have always been concerned about the things we put in our bodies and the things we are exposed to. I have always questioned the choices we made with our kids' health. But I have been a sheep. In the past, I have been a sheep. I just followed everyone else and did what was "the norm". I vaccinated my kids, I fed them things that were not good for them and deep down I knew it. I went with what the doctor said instead of my gut. But not anymore! I am more educated now and can back up my choices and frankly I just don't care what others think. I will do what I think is best for them. Even my husband can't question my choices because it's not like I'm choosing to intentionally harm our kids. (He is not in total agreement with all my beliefs if you are wondering and it's mostly because...well...he is a sheep). I educate myself on things now rather than say "oh...well if the doc says it's ok then it's ok".
Lately, I am having a hard time because we have been financially strapped and it's hard to even get bills paid much less eat right. I can't conciously buy the CRAP that I don't want my kids to eat because it's cheaper. I am trying to figure out ways that we can eat right and eat healthy without killing our wallets. On top of that I am trying to come up with ways to make the money I need to buy the kids curriculum for next year. And meanwhile having battles with family on why I don't want my kids exposed to cigarette smoke. (Don't get me started on this topic). But I know God always provides and He always has for us so I know He will. Just in His time and not ours.
While I was typing the above paragraph a friend called to offer me some suggestions on curriculum. I will be borrowing a lot from them for next year now. See....God provides in His time.
Now I'm off to movie night with a friend. I hope everyone has a great night!
