The Sewing Mom

People are often surprised to find out my husband is over 50 and I am quickly coming up on the big 5-0. I don’t think either one of us look our age and, having a 12 year old daughter definitely helps keep us young. We have to keep up our energy in order to keep up with her!

For me personally, I try to do a lot of things to keep my mind sharp. I’ve always heard that keeping your mind active helps with your health and keeps you younger. There really are so many things to do, but having a hobby is a huge part of this. My sewing works wonders for me. Not only do I have to do planning, using numbers to calculate fabric quantity and reading of patterns, but I do occasionally take classes to learn new sewing techniques and methods. I even bought a complicated sewing machine that also has computer software. When I use that software to create embroidery designs, I am really working to keep my mind sharp!

I also like to play word games which I do a lot with my daughter. One of our favorite games to play together is Brain Age Academy. She usually is much better at it then me, but I’m always just happy to be successful at the game, even if I’m not the winner.

Physically, now that it’s summer, we work out a lot outside in the yard as well as in the swimming pool. I do have a treadmill too, and it hasn’t collected too much dust lately. My daughter also got me hooked on Dance Dance Revolution which is a fantastic way to keep in shape. I’ve burned a lot of calories, even if I’m laughing the entire time due to my lack of coordination!

Eating healthy also plays a large part in keeping our minds sharp and bodies healthy. I try to make sure that most of our meals are well rounded and balanced with plenty of vitamins. Fruit is pretty prevalent in our house too, there are too many health benefits to mention with fruit, but the natural vitamins you get from eating it are a huge part of why I eat it.

Vitamins such as B12,B6 and Folic acid are known to help keep the mind sharp, and promote energy and stamina. B12 isn’t the easiest vitamin to get and I hate shots, so the thought of receiving vitamin B12 shots is not a pleasant one. Sublingual B12 though, is designed to go under the tongue and directly into the blood stream. A much better, and safe alternative to B-12 shots.

Having a 12 year old means wanting to be around for a very long time. We need to do what we can to stay healthy and energetic. How about you? You can Try Sublingual B-12 from Trivita today.

I’ve been going pretty much non-stop for the last week. First, I was cleaning and organizing for the pool party we held on Saturday for my daughter’s softball team. Now, I’m continuing the cleaning and organizing because my step-daughter, her husband and their baby are coming tomorrow from California for a visit. I’m also working on sewing projects because I have only a month left to get things made for our booth at the flea market in Tennessee. I’m even sneaking in a couple of projects that I’m making for our grandbaby and will have them finished by the time they arrive tomorrow night.

Because of all of my activities, I’m not even getting everything done on my computer until the evening. Before I know it, it’s 11 and I’m dragging my butt off to bed. I’m getting up at 6:30 in the morning to get my daughter off to softball camp, and last night, we had a huge rain storm that woke me up, and I know I’m really in need of my sleep. I’m sort of dragging today. It’s times like these when I think sublinqual B12 would help with my energy, especially when I’ve got so much to get done. Trivita offers sublingual B12 that is a painless alternative to a B12 shot. B12 is used by people suffering from diabetes, dementia, gastric bypass and has many health benefits, including increased energy levels.

Oh my goodness, I feel so out of it. I’m not sleeping well at night and I wake up before the sun comes up thinking of everything I have on my to do list that needs to get done. It’s not helping that I am going out of town on Wednesday and will be gone for a few days. That just means I have to have everything cleaned up and in order before I go, even those things I tend to put off. I also have to make sure everything is organized so my husband can go about his day as if I’m still here and my daughter will have everything she needs for school while I’m gone.

Needless to say, I’m stressing. I really shouldn’t be sitting here on the computer, I should be cleaning. I did some laundry this morning and then went for my hair appointment. Maybe I became too relaxed while the hair dresser was massaging my head during the wash process, I did almost fall asleep. Since then, I’ve felt like I’m drained of energy. I did some grocery shopping on my way home and then ate lunch. Since then, I’ve sat on the sofa with my laptop, barely able to keep my eyes open.

I was surfing the web when I saw this, Get your sublingual B12 here. It piqued my interest, so I checked it out.

Sublinqual B-12 helps promote energy and stamina (I think I need that!) and was developed for maximum absorption and goes directly into your bloodstream. It can help with your memory (another issue for me) as well as help with concentration. Unlike oral B-12 tablets that have to be digested before being absorbed by the body, Sublingual B-12 is designed to be absorbed directly into your bloodstream. It’s a painless, safe and affordable B-12 shot.

I’m certainly going to be looking into this further because I’m tired of feeling tired.

As a parent, I can tell you, it’s difficult to keep up with the energy level our children have.

We were attending our daughter’s softball game on Saturday and, after being on the field for almost 2 hours, it was amazing to look into the dugout to see them all doing a cheer and a dance! I’d been sitting on my butt for the same amount of time and was ready for a nap. Where do they get all that energy?

The truth is, as we get older, we need more rest; maybe that’s because we suffer from insomnia. Perhaps it’s because as adults, we don’t eat properly. We ensure our children get good nourishment and then we don’t do the same for ourselves. Let’s not even talk about all the sitting we adults do. Sit and read, sit and watch t.v., sit at work, sit at the computer. Let’s face it, we really do a lot of sitting!

Maybe we need to consider taking vitamins, along with getting better sleep and eating better. Add getting off the couch to that list and I think we’ll all feel better! Of course, there are other ailments besides being tired that can benefit from these remedies as well, including diabetes and dementia.

One vitamin in particular, B12, can help with stamina, energy and even improved mood. Get your sublingual B12 here. While you’re at it, get up off the couch and get moving!

The last couple of weeks I have felt exhausted. I sit at the computer or at my sewing machine and sometimes I feel that it’s all I can do to keep my eyes open. I’m not really sure what’s causing me to feel so tired all of the time, but I’d sure like to get to the bottom of it.

It seems that a few weeks ago I began stressing out about some things here at home, including the fact that I had to go see the dentist. Although it was just a regular check up, I have a bad fear of dentists and it seems that my sleep problems intensified during that time. The check up went well and I was relieved it was over, but my sleep problems continued. Of course, working on income taxes and gearing up to get my sewing business off the ground have added to the stress. Those events also have positive outcomes, but I can’t help but worry about them.

Last week, I stayed up late every night because my mom was visiting. I still got up at my regular time to get my daughter off to school, so I added more sleepless nights to what I’d all ready suffered through. For some reason, even though my mom is no longer visiting, I’ve continued staying up late this week. Add to that the middle of the night thunder and hail storms we’ve been having and it’s just a recipe for no sleep.

While exhaustion itself isn’t a medical issue, there are many medical conditions that do require B12 such as diabetes and gastric bypass. I’ve guess I’ve managed to explain pretty much why I’m feeling so exhausted. Thankfully for me, it’s nothing more serious than the need to relax and stop staying up so late. At least I don’t need a shot of B12, but if you are in the same boat and do need it, you may want to get your sublingual B12 here.
