Karlana’s Blog - My Life

I went into the chiropractor today, and HOLY!  I got a great massage and a realignment out of it, and I feel wonderful now.

I have to go in twice a week and get realigned each time.  I get to lay on this table does all the massaging with applied heat.  I was skeptical at first, but I am glad I went through it.

Since the accident back in April, I have just put up with the pain.  It lessened as time passed by, but I would still feel tense and tight in my neck and shoulders.  It frustrated me when I couldn’t pop my neck and upper back, even with Leilani walking on my back.

Now that I have come home from this ‘popping’ experience, I am a bit tender and sore, but I have muscle relaxers and pain pills for all that.  I will just take one of them tonight before I go to bed.

Alright, off to catch up on Entrecard drops and homework.  I will pop back on laters with memes and a recap of today.

We haven’t been able to participate in the Regal Cinemas free family film festivals the last couple of years since (1) Michael was too young and (2) Leilani has been in school during the summer

Well, now we can participate every week because Leilani has this summer offer! YAY!

If you want to look into seeing if Regal Cinemas is showing movies in your area, visit their site by clicking here.  The movies they have up this summer is well worth the trip out, and you use someone else’s air conditioning.

So not what you think!

It is a Ning site dedicated to posting on your blog everyday of the month about a particular theme.  I am going to try it out!

If you’d like to join along visit NaBloPoMo at http://nablopomo.ning.com/.

I am unsure how I will keep up with 31 days of a food theme in July, but I suppose I can alternate between recipes, reviews and photos!

To participate in the “That’s My Answer” daily meme, catch them at http://thatsmyanswer.com/!  You can leave your answers on their blog or post them up on yours, like I do!

What do you cheat on?

If there was one thing I’d admit to cheating to, it would be my buying the Replay games cheat code chip for my Nintendo DS!  I have never cheated in school or in the work place, but I will cheat on a game.  There are just times where I get so frustrated to where I will pop in the chip and play it that way for awhile, especially if I am not quite ready to put the game down.  It is a bad habit, considering you should really walk away for awhile from things that frustrate the crap out of you!

It’s the last day of June, do you have any final words?

Good riddance!  I spent most of June doing things I really didn’t want to.  Taking care of my husband’s grandmother was not the vacation I had hoped for, and doing homework while on vacation was just as bad.  I have been bogged down with three classes and it sucks.

Do you prefer hot sandwiches or cold sandwiches?

What would you do if you were asked to relocate to another continent?

Would you ever steal something if you absolutely needed it to survive and no way to pay for it?

Be honest, do you think other people’s children are as cute as they do?

I don’t mind hot or cold sandwiches, just depends on what kind they are. 

I like being in the United States, so I wouldn’t relocate.  Even if it meant keeping my job, which many teaching jobs would never ask this of their teachers, I’d quit.  We have more liberties and freedoms in the good ol’ USofA than anywhere else.  I don’t believe I could give them up to assimilate into another culture on another continent.  Okay, I take this back - somewhat.  I’d so go to Australia!

When it comes down to desperate measures, yet.  But I put a boundary line on this: only for my kids.  Then again, a mother will do ANYTHING for her children.  If it was just for myself, I’d find other means.

In most cases, I do think many children are just as cute as their parents think.  However, it is when the parent’s attitude towards the kid’s cuteness turns into a snotty, snobby, totally conceited turn to where it affects how the child also acts, then no.
