Social invite for myself and the spotty ones

After several days of being confined to the house because my children look so scary with all their chicken pox spots I finally ventured out with them to my sisters house for a bbq. All her children and the guests children have had chicken pox and so were happy to be in the company of my infectious two. Yet they were all still visibly shocked by the amount of spots my littlest one has.
One of the families there had a 7week old puppy with them which was a real sweetie and the source of great fun for the children until it started nipping tender little ankles with it's needle sharp puppy teeth. Perhaps we wont get a puppy after all. I have to admit to having more than the occasional daydream about adding to our menagerie. The possibility of chickens has cropped up again though but more about that another time.
It was a super afternoon and so good to get out and about. My three nieces and nephew are so good with my younger children and amuse them so I can have some quality time (drinking and eating too much). It's very easy to take family and friends for granted so I always try to remind myself how blessed i am with my family and friends.

I've been taking my supplement from Natures Sunshine for about 5days now and have to admit I do feel pretty good. I've had the best few nights sleep than I've had for possibly years (raging insomniac that I am). I've also found that I haven't had that mid afternoon slump that I usually get and quite bizzarely my eyes seem brighter so you could say I feel bright eyed and bushy tailed. The main test for me will definately be with my pmt, so watch this space. If there is an improvement it would be fair to say that it would be pretty life changing for me as I can suffer horrendously for up to two weeks out of every four and I'm not talking minor pmt either.
