I still have the hives really bad and i could not sleep or sit still last night so I had to take something again. I had a really hard time getting out of bed.

I still made it to my gym appointment. 

I ran the first 3 miles in 33 minutes then I walked for  .25 then I turned up the speed and ran .75 then I walked and streched for another.20. I finished in 46:00. I felt drained but by the time I had walked over and weighed myself and sat down to do my abs I was feeling much better. So I worked my abs then I rode the bike for 15 minutes going 2.80. Slower than usual, but good considering how tired I am.   

I drank my first teaspoon of cod liver oil today. My husband laughed at me because I gagged so bad. I thought it was comming right back up. So I hope that gets easier for me.

Drinking cod liver oil! Wow, that is extreme. I can't even take regular fish oil pills, the aftertaste is so bad. So I take enteric coated fish oil in pill form - much, much better! I take equivalent of a teaspoon or tablespoon, it's several pills, but at least I don't feel the taste. I use Century21 brand, it's relatively cheap. Good luck!

Maria - I suppose with such a refined taste you were never a big fan of vobla?

Sasha - I love "vobla"!! The taste is very different from pure fish oil, though! Also, it's very salty, which changes the taste as well. I actually eat a lot of fish and enjoy it, but it's not the same as concentrated fish oil - it's just way too strong for me.

I like seafood including any fish if it is cooked right. That may change after my experience today.

I don't know that I will ever beable to eat fish again.

Josse is the one who told me to try it! After reading up on it. I agree that it is very good for you. This is why I drank it. Now I just need to decide what I am going to do with the rest of my huge bottle of it. I don't know if they return stuff like that. I may just have to gag it down every morning.

I just barely read your personals for the first time ever..you are a very amazing lady...I think you have the most kids under your roof on the blog. Wow!!! I'd like to hear about what's happening with your foster kids. I've have friends that have done that and been able to adopt them and others who ended up getting pregnant and having to stop watching the foster kids...what's your story. Sasha and I love kids and want 10 but we seem to be having a little break right now that I'm trying not to think about too much.

Thankyou!

I have been doing foster care for three years and we have had kids come and go. I was ready to stop doing it when my oldest ended up in the hospital again last time but my husband felt very strongly that we needed to keep doing it.

Then september of 2005 we got kyle and he is the one we are just waiting for a court date to finalize the paper work. The trail was nasty. And then we got this baby when he was 4 mths old but I became involved in his care when he was 2 mths old. And his mom is only 18 and could care less never see's him. Then we just got this 3 yr old girl back that we had about 6 mths ago. Her mom slit her wrists in front of her so she has some issues. This is her third suicide attemt so the state thinks she will not get her back. I think it is very uncommon to end up with three kids in less than a year who's parents can't get there act together.

I can say our family has been very blessed because of these kids.

I can give you more info if you want let me know and I can get you my phone number.

I acually wanted four kids and my last set was twins and they ruined me so I could not have any more. I felt there was this boy out there. I had this dream like 3 times where there was a boy about three and I was trying to reach him and I couldn't and then some how foster care kept comming up.

I had a stong impression to do it.

I could go on and on.
