This week has been a mixed week of highs and very deep lows. I was told it was a possibility after having my treatment on Monday. After all I am dealing with 10 years of health issues, no coffee in the mornings and LOTS of lemon water. It was so going to send my body into the biggest spin its been in for a very long time.
Now that I am over the detox effect, and I am clear of headaches I can see things in a better way. Knowing how deep my thoughts had become I decided that it was best for New Life on the Road (amazing readers) that I did not blog yesterday.
Things I know About Healing ::
(please note that these are my thoughts and what has happened within our family – it will not mean its going to happen to you!!!)
- That I had a lot of stuff to deal with ~ stuff that I didn’t expect to come up. It sent me into a lot of quiet thinking and a lot of reflection. Which has now made me stronger within!
- I must have been addicted to Coffee in a very big way ~ I am not
allowedmeant to have coffee until 11.00 am as I need to have at least 1 litre of water when I wake up, with Lemon Juice. - That my insides are a mess…..I am not absorbing water and that is why I am having a lot of issues ~ hence the coffee thing!
- When I have a headache I need to sleep ~ its the only way to combat my headaches yet Sleep is not something I have the luxury of getting at the moment
- When said Headache leads to migraines that last for two days… there is no other option….Healing for me doesn’t mean popping a headache tablet so I had to give in and get some sleep
Today I made the time ~
even with our busy day we made sure Kyle had 15 minutes on his bike at the Bike Track!
Things I Know About Our Crazy Lifestyle
- I know that I am only barely holding on to sanity at the moment ~ Davids crazy night shift hours is SO draining on all of our family. Our boys are mucking up because Dad is not home to spend time with them, I am not able to spend enough one on one time with them so they muck up more.
- I know that night-shift is not good for the body ~ phsically or mentally. It’s too much for David as he is only getting about 4-5 hours every day before going back to work!
- I know that I am so close to saying “FORGET” it – this lifestyle is not worth it. We bought the Motorhome to change our way of living, yet with David working stupid long hours we are back to where we were when lived in a house!
- I know that I LOVE my family so I am putting my thoughts aside and making the best of where we are, what we are doing. We are here in Mackay because its easy to get supplies for our Motorhome to renovate it on the outside.
- I know that we will be moving on and exploring a new area soon 🙂
This week has been a very big week. And will end on a very big high.
Today I booked our over night Stay for Fathers Day. We are escaping from our Motorhome for one night ~ spending it in a Cabin….where we both can relax and our boys can have fun.
After all that is what I want more than anything in this world….happy Mum, happy Dad, happy kids. Perfect.
What Things Do You Know about Your Week?

Todays Blog Post is Linked to Singular Insanity ~ Thanks Dororthy for the Great Idea 😉
I’m still trying to get over your Bottoms Up post. Sounds like fun…..
It has made me think about bodies though, mine in particular. I don’t treat it very well and it shows. I keep toying with the idea of a green smoothie revolution, but stop myself because “I don’t have the right blender”.
Sigh. Just some more procrastination.

Hi Dorothy,
Yeah I kinda shared a bit too much on the Bottoms Up post but hey, hope it can help at least one other person!
The green smoothies are so the way to go – feel heaps better when I am on them. The blender that we use is a normal every day blender – we got it from Crazy Clarks for about $30.00. Its got a glass bowl and blends up everything so well.
I think that as Mums we forget to look after ourself. And i am now realising how important that our body is. Its much easier to be healthier on the inside to be happy on the outside. At least that is what I feel works well for me!
Cheers

Sorry things are tough at the moment Lisa. My husband is a shift worker too and it takes a toll on the entire family. Prayers.

Hi Danielle,
Thanking you for your kind prayers. It was a rough week, ending on a great high as we are going away for one night to sleep with fresh air and taking time to chill out for Fathers day.
So good to hear from another family who also has a shift worker. Would love to hear any tips/hints you have 🙂
Cheers
Lisa
Enjoy your cabin time. Are the headaches gone now?
