3 educated wishes....

3 areas I wish I were more educated on are:
1.Parenting...no doubt! Seriously, I'm horrible at it. I wish the Love and Logic people would get up here and teach a class or something. For now, Jase and I are re-reading the book....can anyone else suggest an amazing parenting book that isn't too long...and preferably has some pictures...haha! No, but seriouly, any suggestions? #2 Auto Mechanics! I'd love to know how to fix this thing. I'm always jealous of girls that know that stuff, especially hot girls that would never need to know it because anyone would fix their car for free. But I just wanna know so that if I get stuck in the middle of the reservation at 10pm at night, and we STILL don't have our on star hooked up and I STILL don't have cell phone, ah, but I have a flashlight...soI can fix it. Yes, that would be nice.

#3. You may think I'm crazy on this one, and that it's not a big deal, but it is. I want to be more educated on.....Dressing for my body type!!! Silly, I know, but just think, if you knew EXACTLY what looked good on you, you'd feel soo much sexier when you go out. I'm not talking, "oh I only look good in boot cut jeans with a medium rise in a dark wash". I'm talking the whole shabang! You know what belts to wear wih what cardigans, and which shoes will best make your calves not look as big as your thighs (big issue with me). Anyway, I'd love to know this stuff.

Now I'd like to share 3 things I wish I WEREN'T so educated on...or I wish I didn't know

Pictures will NOT be shared for good reason

#1. I wish our guy that brings us eggs didn't tell us, "the hens have been bleeding a lot because of the protien feed we have them on. They're eggs are too big for them". Thanks dude, that's gross!

#2. I wish I didn't know that Boston drank Jaden's pee out of a play construction hat.

#3. Prepare yourselves. This is the worst. I wish I didn't know that it's actually good for the baby to get fecal matter on it at birth and that the doctors shouldn't wipe it away til after the baby is fully born. I wish I didn't know that. I really wish I didn't know that.

Alright, now 3 things I wish people would educate themselves on and not be so trusting of media, their doctors, and their peers.

#1. Artifical sweetners. Most of you already steer clear of these suckas, but if something was used to kill people in war, and now we are allowing small doses of it in these...that should be your red flag right there. Plus, if you do your research...it does put less calories in your bodies, but it makes your body crave more. Hmmm. Interesting.

#2 I will not be showing a picture of this one either, cause uh, I don't know why. But IUD's! Research them! Sadly Iwaited til it was too late. I had one, and of coarse my body was the 1 in 1000 to reject it, so I bled...A LOT, then got it out, then researched it.....haha, I just had it put i because my gyno said how amazing it is. But when I researched it, I found out two things I didn't like about it. And remember people, this is MY OPINIONS...and in the words of my ever infamous blog stalker hater "are you and your friends REALLY that retarded?"...no, only me and a few of my friends. But here are the things I dislike about the IUD that I wish I would have been told by my gyno. 1. the way it works is by scratching up the walls of your uterus, iritating them enough to swell...which of coarse is not good. And my 2nd complaint about the IUD's is that it allows the sperm and egg to unite...which in my eyes is the beginnings of a baby. It jus doesn't allow the egg to attach to the uterus wall. So I kinda felt like I was killing the beginnings of a lot of babies. But again, just me. But still, a metal object up there, irritating the walls of your uterus???? Doesn't seem right. haha!

And my final object that I wish more people would research....prescription medications. Fortunately I have seen more and more people start researching and turning away from these, but stil I see so many just do em cause their doctors are being paid to tell them to...and sady, they, or even worse, their kids have to suffer the effects of them (NOT side effects). Another thing I experienced on my own. Jaden was on antibiotics from 3 months to 2 year, almost constantly, one thing would lead to another, ear infections, fevers, flu, everything, so we just kept the antibiotics and baby tyenol going. Then, when we started researching what exactly all of those things are doing to him, we realized, we're keeping him sick. We took him off, found some different ways to help him, and he hasn't been on any of that since...along with our other two. I wish we would have researched it earlier....and not just the brochures and website that the pharmaceutical companies pay for. (which is a lot) But as a disclaimer...I will say, there is defaintey a time and place for them....in extreme conditions...but they are defiantely being over prescribed.

And finally 3 things I wish WE were all more educated on (they sound like Jeopardy Challenges):

1. reacurring disasters throughout history. Just seems like it'd be handy to stop making the same mistakes...I'm talking about everything from global situations to inside the home disasters.

2. families, just seems like if we knew more about them, we'd realize how important they are.

3. the gospel, could you imagine? yea, pretty great right?

Ahh, and I will now be stepping off of my soap box. Feel free to voice your opinions on the subjects spoken of...just don't call me and ALL of my friends retarded!
