I'm a Believer?!

i know it may be a little off the beaten path, but i thought it was worth a try. several women around here have recommended that i take bridon to a lady who does 'foot zoning'. after another episode with him last week for two nites in row, i finally gave in and made the appointment! bentley, bridon, and i left yesterday amid the slush and ice and made our way to meridian. i have to admit, i was/am skeptical, what with the aroma of essential oils and a soft recliner for the office chair...but bridon's colon and back seemed to be what he reacted to (which i witnessed) and he got a good dose of peppermint and oregano oils to try and get him back into adjustment. thing is, he was all ready trying to fill his diaper before we left, he only woke up once during the nite last nite, he took two, very long naps today, and he is all ready asleep in his bed! i guess i'll cross my fingers that the witch dr's helping us out...we go back again on monday.

i stopped at the grocery store on the way back. bridon slept almost the entire time, but i had mr. b helping me in the cart. i used to think i could never do such a thing with two children, but what are a bag a squished grapes and what's this? a nasty cup'o noodles, can of beef stew, three spaghetti seasoning packets...and i can't remember what else...all discovered just in the nick of time before we hit the checkout stand! little turkey!! he is quite the little character these days...i really have to watch what i say and do (which is good, i should be doing that anyway, right?) since ben is gone to LIA, i have him with me 24-7 and we are back on somewhat of a schedule! today we made cake cups for the 'mutual girls'. we baked cupcakes inside ice cream cones and then frosted them with chocolate frosting (that he wanted to stir on the stove the entire time) and added sprinkles. he loves to cook and be RIGHT there next to whoever is in the kitchen doing everything. he also LOVES doing the dishes and would run the water and toss around everything in the sink for hours if i'd let him. maybe bridon will like to play with toys! on a more serious note, he picks up so much of what is being said or is going on. today he told me 'benty is a child of god' and he now wants to offer the prayer by himself anytime he can and includes everything on his mind. it is very cute! i guess this brings me to my next dilemma...and that is, blogging. i wasn't sure if i wanted to keep up with this as my family journal because y'all probably don't want to know every detail that i want to keep track of, but i've decided that if i can find a great place to publish this every year, it is the way to go for me..i've gotta go low maintenance or i'll lose my mind! happy blogging everyone!
