Eating right is expensive!

Have you ever wondered why eating right is so expensive? It is actually unfair. It almost seems as if the government doesn't want you to eat right so that you can get sick and need doctors and medication that they can gain money from. It almost seems as if they are NOT for preventive health care, but then they turn around and raise our health care insurance plans. What do you think about the state of our economy and how much it costs to eat right? I mean with organics and having to buy fresh fruits and veggies at least once or twice a week, eating right could get REALLY pricey. What are some of the things that you do to cut corners and save money, but still eat right?

Going back to school after 30!

As I sit here waiting for my next class, I start to become overwhelmed at the many things that I have to do today. I have three classes today, three postings that I must do before they day is over, I have to clean the chicken legs in the refrigerator for dinner later, write the proposals for my vocal training business, create a schedule for my entire family, create a guest list for my baby shower, wash clothes, unpack form a trip I took, and go through various tracks to begin writing a song to. Even with this laundry list of things, I can go on for about three more sentences of what needs to get done before the week's end. I just want to scream! Suddenly, a ray of hope shines through when my 3 year old so rudely busts through my office doors to show me that he drew the letter A. Then it hit me. Going back to school was one of the best things that I could have done not just for myself, but for my kids too. If mommy is studying, then he will want to study too. As I gave him tremendous praise for his sensational works accomplished in kisses and hugs, I notice while he walks out, he puts his slim water proof marker behind his ear. As cute as that may seem, it only proves my point exactly. When he closes the door behind him on his way off to create more letters, I took off my glasses to rub my eyes and what do you know? A pen falls from my right ear, and suddenly it's all worth it:)  Are you back in school after 30? What does it mean to you? Let's talk:)
