Trip to emergency room and migranes

 hi all
Well i did wind up going to hospital last night.Arrived there at 9:20 and got home at 3:10 am! That was just the most ridiculous thing i have been through in a while.When i arrived there were 2 others waiting,2 hours later i was checked and asked what was wrong and 30 minutes later taken back and then 20 minutes later i was given a shot of demoral and Finnegan and something for inflammation.Still have not saw a Dr.!wow,,ok,,,
 at 2:40 the Dr. came in and 2 minutes later was gone and left me a lortab and a prescription for Finnegan and lortab and released at 2:45.He said in 2 minutes my problems were stemming from a migraine!he checked my pulse,listened to heart ,turned out lights and checked my eyes very quickly,I wonder how much that will cost me and my insurance company!
  I know people are busy,,but when u are a Dr. or something like that and getting paid well ,shouldn't you at least try and make sure you do your best,,Same thing you expect from anyone doing a job!You are depending on this person though to make sure something serious isn't wrong.Then the bill is sent to insurance and they are charged for ALL this time you are there and you have received no real care...That is why our insurance is so high we can barely afford it!

snow flurries and headaches

Hope all your chritmas's were happy! I had a great christmas ,all my kids and grandkids were here.They all opened up presents here that morning and then we had a large lunch spread of traditional items.It was cold and snow flurries fell on and off all here in south alabama as well as yesterday.Very unusual for us,so much for global warming!It is still very cold here,hard freeze warning ,temps in the teens expected.

last few days i have had problems with my head,,Headache and just a very strange feeling on the left side.Feels like a raw place,even tingling at times.Been doing this for about 5 days now.I don't know if it is a severe sinus infection or what,,kinda worries me to be honest.

What if any are your plans for the new year?Mine will probably be spent with the grandbabies so the kid's can do something.My son and his band will be playing in crestview Florida for a show there,hubby probably go too.
 I would like to wish all of you a very happy new year and a safe and blessed one,,

Magic of Christmas~Through the eyes of a child

HI!
 Hope everyone is doing great and hope u enjoyed the eclipse last night.I was just too tired but several family members and friends did and they all said it was beautiful!
 I have 4 of the 5 grand babies tonight and just walked with Kolby age 5, and charlie Mae and summer ,age 2,down the road.This dear lady and gentlemen up the road has their whole yard adorned with beautiful Christmas scenes .They have placed a moving Ferris wheel with darling teddy bears taking a ride,Santa is in the hot air balloon ,a beautiful nativity scene,my batteries in the camera died very early in,uuhhhh ,but i was able to get a few pics.He also has a choo choo train fixed for the kids to pull around the yard outlining the scenes.It was just beautiful I hope you get a chance to take your little ones and enjoy Christmas scenes as well...I love to see the magic in their eyes.I wish i could have captured when we got to baby Jesus,each child leaned down and hugged Jesus and said i love you..Precious..Jesus loves the babies!!!! They love him too if given the chance...



MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL

Tonight's Eclipse of the Moon and Winter Soltice

For the first time in 372 years, the winter equinox and a total lunar eclipse happen on the same day, and North America is one of the best spots to view the show.

What causes a Lunar Eclipse ?
A lunar eclipse happens when the Moon passes through the Earth's shadow. Earth always has a shadow, which is created by the Sun. On those rare occasions when the Moon, Earth and the Sun are all lined up just right, the Moon passes through this shadow.This would happen every full moon if the Moon orbited around the Earth in the same plane as the Earth orbits around the Sun. The Moons orbit, however, is tilted about 5 degrees above the Earth-Sun plane. This tilt itself, however, rotates, allowing eclipses to happen when the tilt of this plane lines up with the Earth-Sun plane, blocking sunlight.

An eclipse of the Moon can only take place at Full Moon, and only if the Moon passes through some portion of the Earth's shadow. The shadow is actually composed of two cone-shaped components, one inside the other
. Colors and the deepness of the shadow on the surface are affected by the type of eclipse, local weather conditions, atmospheric conditions, and the geographic location of the observer,tonight across the USA we should see a coppery red color..

Total Lunar Eclipse
The entire Moon passes through the Earth's umbral shadow. During the time of totality the moons color may change to a dull copper tone, an effect caused by earth shine or reflected earth light. The moon can stay in the umbrals shadow for as long as 90 minutes.

And for those of us whom would like to photograph the eclipse,here are a few tips.
If you have a point-and-shoot camera with a zoom lens, zoom the lens out as far as you can to get the highest possible magnification.
The minimum focal length for getting a good-looking Moon picture is about 300 mm.
Photographing an eclipse may require exposure times 4 to 1,000 times longer as compared to recording a normal full moon.
Here is some great info on photographing an eclipse! just click .. http://www.mreclipse.com/LEphoto/LEphoto.html

So make sure u bundle up and be prepared to be up late.The view promises to be worth it..share any pics you may get..have a great day everyone..

Sushi Roll Recipe

I am a huge sushi lover,so i came across this recipe and wanted to share,,,ENJOY!!!!

Ingredients
  • 2/3 cup uncooked short-grain white rice
  • 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 4 sheets nori seaweed sheets
  • 1/2 cucumber, peeled, cut into small strips
  • 2 tablespoons pickled ginger
  • 1 avocado
  • 1/2 pound imitation crabmeat, flaked
  •  
  •  
Directions
  1. In a medium saucepan, bring 1 1/3 cups water to a boil. Add rice, and stir. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar ,and salt. Blend the mixture into the rice.
  2. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). On a medium baking sheet, heat nori in the preheated oven 1 to 2 minutes, until warm.
  3. Center one sheet nori on a bamboo sushi mat. Wet your hands. Using your hands, spread a thin layer of rice on the sheet of nori, and press into a thin layer. Arrange 1/4 of the cucumber, ginger, avocado, and imitation crabmeat in a line down the center of the rice. Lift the end of the mat, and gently roll it over the ingredients, pressing gently. Roll it forward to make a complete roll. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
  4. Cut each roll into 4 to 6 slices using a wet, sharp knife.
Notes:
  • If you do not have a bamboo sushi mat, the easiest way to roll the sushi is to use a clean dish towel. 
NOTES;;;
Traditionally the rice is soaked in water to soften it, then cooked with a piece of seaweed (for flavor). A mixture of vinegar, salt, and sugar is poured over the hot cooked rice, and then fanned until shinny and cool.
USE BAMBOO INSTEAD OF ALUMINUM PAN for much better taste!!!!

Snooz'n review~natural sleep aid

 Do you sleep well? No,me neither!I have a very hectic life,not a lot of slowing down and in my 40's it takes a toll at times.I have tries a lot of sleep aides from prescription(just too expenxive) to over the counter.Some work,some don't.Most of them come with side effects i don't like but when you can't sleep you need help.
  i saw an ad online for a new product called Snooz'n . I sent away for a few bottles and the other day they arrived.I wa ssent 2 -2.3 oz bottles to try out.I have saved them until i really needed a good night's sleep and having trouble .That is tonight.It has been a stressful past week,long hours with kids and adults,birth of new granddaughter and just life in general. Tomorrow me and my daughter in law will go to her Dr. and then take Miss Delilah by to see her Dr. to check on her jaundice.My back hurts and troublesome sleep awaits lol..
  Info from the site,,

Natural Sleep Aid - Relax and Fall Asleep Fast

  • Helps reduce stress and strengthen your immune system
  • No calories, sugar, preservatives or harmful side effects
  • Take 30 minutes before bed for a good night's sleep

I love the idea that it is all natural,with no harmful ingrediants ..So i am to drink the little bottle and hopefully in a little i will drift off in a nice sleep,,

 This is a live blog while taking this ,,,so here we go...
9:48-begin to drink.It has a apple like taste and smell.really better than i thought it would be .about 4 good swallows per bottle.Honestly not the best tasting thing i have ever drank ..But not to bad either.
 I am relaxing by the fireplace ,not moving around much,don't know if that would make a difference or not.

 9:57 -still no effects
10;00 beginning to feel relaxed!
10:10 i am going to lay down now ,,results tomorrow..


...if you would like to try this product ,You can also get  50% off with your first order just by entering coupon code BAORDER  during checkout @ http://www.snoozn.com/  tell them that I sent you.ALSO right now you can get a trial 2 pack just like i have just by paying shipping cost of 2.00 right here http://www.snoozn.com/checkout/cart/  .Let me know how it works for you.I will do a follow up tomorrow with results when i woke up and started my day.I did complete this bottom part while awaiting results if you are wondering, ;)

Have a blessed week and stay warm..God bless

Betty ~Nannato5

UPDATE AND FINAL REVIEW...

This morning i awoke feeling a little groggy at 7 pm.It was past 12:00 when i finally fell asleep and for me it was like i was half awake and half asleep not feeling to rested at all. It was not a deep restful sleep as i had hoped..This is only me results,Nothing works good for everyone.I am going to try the second bottle tonight just to double check my results ..will update on those results and compare..



''I was not compensated in any way for this review.This is my results from this product and my views on it as truethful as i can.''

Snow in alabama and a few giveaways

hello!
 Hope you are staying warm and safe.Well this morning here in Alabama we had snow! south Alabama..lol..it was a nice treat but the weather is awful,cold,very cold.will be dangerously cold for us even into Florida the next few days.Of course with that being said,if fruit and veggies are damaged that's another rise in food cost,AGAIN! Sleet was falling earlier but now just dreary cloud cover.I do not like the winter cold.My newborn granddaughter will be going to Dr. tomorrow and her mom to check on stitches and i hate to even get them out.

My hubby is cooking chili for supper and even cooked lunch.I could pinch his head off sometimes but he is a good man .What have you done preparing for Christmas?A lot of people are struggling now and i have a feeling it will get far worse before it gets better so if you can help someone out,do it,be a friend,neighbor.Especially here in the Christmas season.I have found it helps me out with the kids and grands by entering contest.It truly has been a blessing to me for years now.I pray about them and God has blessed me time and time again.I am very appreciative of the bloggers that work so hard getting them put together so make sure u say thank u and also the sponsors.Just remember to do those extra entries and check back often.

Have a great week,
Betty
