Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired.

February is almost over and we've all been sick in this house. It all started with Libby bringing home a "viral cold" and spreading it to everyone else. Lucky for her she got over it pretty quickly. Unfortunately for the rest of us it's sticking around. My son now has a sinus infection and both ears are infected. So he's on medication. My husband is on medication for an almost ear infection among other things. Me, no meds other then over the counter stuff and it seems like this cold or whatever the hell it is wont go away. I'm not coughing as bad and when I do it's productive so that's always a plus.
Along the lines of health I have decided do to my recent health issues, my husbands health issues and just for the over all well being of my kids that we need to eat healthier in this house. We eat way too many processed foods, sugary snacks and salt. So the next time I shop for groceries I am going to pack this house full of healthier foods and drinks. More fresh fruits and veggies, more nuts and grains, and definitely more fish and lean poultry. I worry about these things and I think it's time to stop worrying and start doing something about it. I want us all to feel better and live longer, healthier lives. And I think by changing our diet we can do that. Also I want to get rid of a lot of the clutter in my house. I think stress causes a lot of health problems and by having too many piles of junk laying around the house we have unnecessary stress. So slowly but surely I will start to go thru everything and get rid of the things we either don't use or just plain don't need anymore. I'm not a hoarder by any means but we just have too much stuff in too small of a place. And since it doesn't look like we'll be able to buy a bigger place any time soon I guess we just need to downsize our stuff. Plus it would be a whole hell of a lot easier to clean if you don't have move shit around every time you want to clean that area.
So yeah, things need to change. I am going to be trying a lot of new recipes using less salt and less processed foods. I think I'm going to try to include them on here to share with everyone else. I'll try to take pictures too. I'll TRY. I don't always remember to come on here and write but I'll try to do it more often.
So yeah, that's about it for now. I'll try to keep you all posted.
