It's been yet another day in the "O" "K" Coral. All my doggies are in need of some brandin' - one in particular (hahaha). My mind is so focused I couldn't even remember I was going to feed my kids leftovers. So I made a new meal and behold the frige gets to eat the leftovers - oh well, tomorrow is yet another day to forget my name and the leftovers in the frige.

I think we've finally beaten the fleas (I think). I finally broke down and went to the vet and spent a phenomenal amount of money on one month's supply of Front Line. About 2 days after treatment, 3 of us showed up with a ridiculous amount of new bites, but we treated on the 6th and we've had no new bites for a couple of days now. I'll let you know.

Got my daughter's purity ring in from Amazon.com today. It's very pretty and I'm excited to give it to her, but we've decided it will be for her birthday, so I have to waaaaaaaaaaait until December 31 - ugh.

Got the cable to my new digi camera. After I get it figured out, I might post some pictures. Maybe tomorrow I'll remember to take some pics of the house. I think we could audition our house for the next Amityville Horror movie or something like it. Hee hee.

Still fighting a mild virus (bronchial) for hmmmm...about 2 weeks. Live too far from civilization to get any ginger root for my tea, so been trying to get well eating Kimchee and Hot Sauce. Sometimes it helps.

My inspiration for the day....are you and your spouse maintaining your physical life?.....cuz, if you're not, you're defrauding one another.

The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife. Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.
~1 Corinthians 7:4-5

Also remember that being with your spouse physically is not a product of sin. It never was. God created this for man and wife long before the fall.

And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
~Genesis 1:22

Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
~Genesis 2:23-24

When you married your spouse, you made him/her promise to never be with another but you; and if you're not available, then you're reniging on the bargain. Is it time to make a date with the one you're married to, the one you promised your love, devotion, AND your body too?

Fleas are still chewing on my ankles as of yesterday, so I did some research on the internet and found that salt might be deadly to fleas. Salt!! Of all things, it's cheap and it's non-toxic for the kids and cats. If you get a little on you, the worst it will do is tickle or dry your skin a bit.

I don't know how effective it will be, but I generously sprinkled the carpet last night and decided to leave it for a day or two and then vacuum it up. This sight also recommended putting salt in the vacuum bag to ensure that you kill the fleas you suck up.

Also going to buy some brewer's yeast for the cats. I used to feed it to my cat as a teen and it seemed to work, so I'll have to get some this weekend.

I've decided I want a dehydrator for Christmas/Birthday instead of a ring. Hee hee. That's the way with me. I'd love to have a ring, but can't seem to throw caution to the wind and spend the dough it takes to put one on my finger. A dehydrator would actually be an investment. I like dried herbs and homemade beef jerky. I also found in research that growing pepperment, basil and sage in my yard may go a long way to repel flies, fleas and ants! So I can grow, repel and then dry the herbs. I think I'll try and grow a raspberry bush too. Red raspberry leaf tea is so good for what ails a woman "now and again" *wink*. (It also said a sprig of basil in your fruit bowl would go a long way to prevent fruit flies!) If you're interested in more of this amazing information check out this web site or do some searches on "herbs/plants to repel".

I'll let you know how the salt works. So far, no new bites on my feet or ankles, but they are so chewed up already it will be a few days before I know for sure.

Everyone have a blessed day.
