The Little White Lie of "FISH STICKS CURES NOSE BLEEDS"

So I am kind of wondering something. Okay before I get started just wanted to say I am well aware of how bad it is to tell a lie. I know that all sin is equal and that we should not do it, but I have always wondered about the so called little white lies as people call them. I have told a few of them myself and just wondering if this story is allowable or am I still held accountable. I can think up many reasons in my head how I think God would over look this one lie, but on the other hand I can think of many other reasons why he wouldn't.  Alright so here is my little white lie. So as everyone know I have an autistic brother. He is very finicky when it comes to food and eating. He thinks if it looks gross then it tastes gross, and same with smells too, if it smells gross then it will taste gross. My parents and I always had a hard time dealing with him when it came to eating real food around any meal time. It was to the point that he would only eat from McDonalds or any take out joint. Like Pizza, Wendys mainly burger joints. We could not even get him to eat a burger at home even if we made it in front of him to show him how it looked just like a wendys burger or a McDonalds burger. Or even home made pizza or even if we bought something from the grocery store like Delissio for an example, he would just gag. He had it in his head that anything from home made from any of us was healthy food. Although it was the same food from the fast food joints that we would try to make him and we did tell him how it is unhealthy from the burger joints and it is still unhealthy at home so it does not make a difference.  So it got to the point that it was getting too costly to be buying breakfast, lunch and dinner everyday for years from McDonalds and other fast food joints. We would keep the little french fry containers that they came in from McDonalds and just reuse it over and over again with fries we made from home. He had no clue of the difference and we would save a pizza box and then cook some at home that we bought from the grocery store and would bake it and then put it in the box. We would make either one of my parents just walk in the door and yell "PIZZA" or "MCDONALDS" then set down the old box of pizza or McDonalds. But one day Joel had caught us all in the act, he seen my mom open the over when she was checking on the french fries and then realized that when we tries to give him the fries in the McDonalds fry container he would gag and refuse to eat it. So it went back to the old way again. Then for two summers in a row I was baby sitting Joel while my parents would be at work. So I got tired of doing all this take out stuff. One day Joel had fell down and hurt his nose badly to the point of bleeding. So he asked me what would cure nose bleeds. So I blurted out the words "salads and fish sticks cures nose bleeds, that is the only thing you can eat that will help it stop". So that got Joel into eating salads and fish sticks, he now eats them to this day and loves them. As more time went on something would happen and I would tell little white lies like that to get him to eat real food. So what I am wondering is, is that wrong to lie to him like that? Because we all know that there is not a food in the world that would cure a nose bleed and that your nose does eventually stop bleeding on its own. All sin is equal and a little white lie is as bad as murder. It is written in the bible. Lying is also in the 10 commandments too. So what is the verdict here??

Kids Are Not Boring

I am so disgusted! I was watching an episode of House. The guy with the very rude and arrogant attitude. Well anyways. There is a group of doctors that work with him and this one particular doctor which is a male. He was talking with his co-workers at some diner about his kids, and how he hides his magazines and other things that distract him from his kids. Then he comes out and says he finds his kids boring. He rather have the magazines around, but the ex-wife said he needs to spend actual time with his kids. What kind of selfish person would think such things of their own kids. Kids are not boring. Your time with your kids is what you make of it. I love my kid. She is one year old today. I just have a blast with her whether we are inside the house or out for a stroll or to the mall or just cuddling on the couch watching her favorite movie Cinderella.  I am so sad to think that anyone would feel that away about their own kids. If you do not like kids or do not have patience for them, then don't have unprotected sex with your partner, or please give your kid up for adoption at birth. There are plenty of people out there where one of the couples have a problem with their body and are not able to have kids. So them type of couples would love to adopt a sweet child. Anyways I am done ranting for today. I think I made my point. I am just so frustrated. I am going to go hang out with my little baby girl.

1 Year of Motherhood

So obviously by my title that my daughter is 1 year old. So I am 1 year into motherhood. This year went by so quick. I never seen time fly so quick until now. She is not that tiny little loaf of bread size any more. She about the height of my knee a little over my knee I do believe. Aaliyah has grown so much in the last year it is unbelievable. I just love her so much to the point of wanting to scream in excitement. She has been standing on her feet for at least a month so I know that by next month or so she should be walking. Which I know I am in for a very crazy days once she does that. She will be getting into everything. So a great HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU AALIYAH!!!

Praising God

It is said in the bible that we as Christian parents are to bring up our child in the way they should go. I do believe there is more to the verse than that. I will look it up and edited this post later. Anyways onto the subject. I have been searching for the right church to attend since we moved to Alberta. So we went to this church called people's church, which was lovely. Nice christian people. During worship service it was so nice to look over at my little baby girl who is 1 day away from being 1 year old was raising both hands in the air praising God. She was watching what I was doing and I was very surprised and shocked. I guess babies start mimicking from a very young age. I guess I will have to watch myself for now on, not that I do anything bad that I would be embarrassed of if she were to mimick or copy me of again. It just really encourages me to want to do a lot more things to instill into her while she is still young.  It is so beautiful watching her grow. Aaliyah also was clapping her hands during some of the songs today too! Which was very touching and beautiful to see. So I am going to step up on my word to God from the day I dedicated her and really try to teach her more. I love watching her grow in the Lord, even for a baby, it is so rewarding to see this. It is really the small things that count.

For The Love of Make Up

Okay so as oppose to my last post, I am more awake and thought of something I wanted to put on here to get the word out. I have another face book fan page, but this one is not to promote my poetry book. This one is more for fun and to show off what I can do with make up. Since I have been wearing make up since I was about 12 or 13. So if you love make up and all that pretty glittery stuff and shimmery stuff take a look at my page. All you got to type into the search part of face book is: For The Love of Make Up. Anyways hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Early Riser Today

I am so upset when I look at the alarm clock to find out that it is 5:20 am. So now I have to get up, because lying there in bed for an extra 5 minutes did not help me get back to sleep. And no I was not trying to go back to sleep from hearing Aaliyah crying or anything. I was not ignoring her. I was trying to ignore myself being wide awake as I am. I love my sleep and for some reason today I could not make myself feel sleepy again after waking up so randomly early in the morning. I am not usually an early riser. If anything I wake up to the beckoning call of my daughter Aaliyah. So I am up!! Yay. NOT!! I want to go to sleep. I feel sleepy I look sleepy, but all I am doing is tossing and turning with out any progress of actually falling asleep. So I am up for the day. So I am drinking my coffee, and just hoping that I start to get rid of this grouchiness I have going on. I always felt that if it is still dark in the sky when you wake up, then you should not be up, you should be sleeping. What should be the only thing that wakes you up is the sunshine beaming through your curtains and onto your face in the morning, not just waking on your own account. Especially when you are still very tired. So here's to my early day. Hopefully I accomplish a lot more than usual since I will have more time today. So good morning to all you early risers on here who may be possibly reading. Wish me luck as I drink my first coffee of the morning. I hope I can go on with out falling asleep later on through the day. Maybe I will read some bible devotions.

YAY I made a yummy pizza

Okay, so I always look on my cousin Emily's blog and came across a good recipe of hers that she invented out of left over for a yummy pizza, so I tried it. All she did was spread the pizza dough with pesto, then her toppings consist of asparagus, tomatos, bacon, cheese and onions. I however did alter the recipe a little to my likings, since it is more veggie style I took out the bacon. I was meaning for tomatos to be put on it too, but did not have any so I just used some black olives which did the pizza some justice. I really enjoyed it. Although, I do really want try it the exact way she made it. Be proud of me guys, this was my first attempt at home made pizza dough and all.
