Wedding anniversaries are special events. Especially those big
ones that mark 10th wedding anniversary, 20th, 30th, 40th, 50th
anniverary .
On that special day, you can take time off to reminisce the
past. You can take a look at your mementos starting from your
first date. Do dust off the photo album and go through pictures
of special occasions such as your wedding day or delivery of
your newborn child. You can play the video of your wedding day
or dress up in your wedding clothes. Maybe by now they are too
small or tight for you.
On this day, you stop and reflect the state of the union
between husband and wife. Then it hits you so hard that you have
actually spend so little time on your dear spouse. Why? We have
got to concentrate mind and soul on our careers and slog hard
from morning to night at the office. By the end of the day, both
partners are tired and too exhausted to talk to each other. Then
your attention of focus will be on your kids. You have to take
care of them play with them ,feed them, monitor them and
supervise them . You have to check whether they have eaten ,
bathed and done their homework.
Then you have to worry about finance . Whether you have enough
money to pay bills ranging from housing, car loans, groceries,
clothes, school fees, It’s enough to kill the joy of marriage.
But on the other hand , you can reflect on the positive, such
as overcoming problems and obstacles through strength and
perseverance
Both partners should share something in common. Shared
experiences makes a lot of difference. Here are a few
examples.Saving money to buy your first house. The two partners
deciding where to live, and what kind of house to live in.
The couple can find delight in sharing tasks together. I
remember taking care of my baby son. He would cry in the middle
of the night wanting either to change diapers or to be fed. We
would turn turns looking after baby. She would be tired after
attending to his night time needs after one or two days. I would
then take care of baby on the subsequent nights.
We go to church together to worship the Lord and it’s such a
wonderful spiritual experience every Sunday. We also go to the
gym and workout together.
Both partners need to have same mindset or similar interest.
Both my wife and I enjoy going to the movies, love children and
enjoy traveling.
What similar interest do you have as a couple ? Find out what
similar interest both of you have. Is it a particular kind of
food, movies, travels?
And when baby comes along , make sure you also have some time
to spend on your own. Ideally, you could get your parents or
parents in law to help take care of baby.
On this special day, take time to reflect what both of you
wanted to do together but never got down to doing it either due
to work or family commitments. Find out what he or she likes .
If she is fond of good food then bring her out for a good
scrumptious meal at a expensive restaurant . If she likes
shopping then bring her out to her favorite shopping mall and
help to buy
dresses and whatever she likes ( something like Richard Gere
bring Julia Roberts out in ‘ Pretty Woman’ and deck out her in
designer fashion wear) She may like you to serenade to her with
a beautiful song or poem. Lastly, a bouquet of flowers work
wonders too.
Is your child ready to go to school? You worry about coughs and colds that they will bring home, but what about eye infections? Infections of the eye can occur at any time of the year; not just when it’s time to go back to school. However, so many of the infections of the eye are contagious so being around more kids in school lends itself to more irritations. Infections, irritations, and allergy issues are all common in school age children. An eye infection in a school age child is usually minor and can be treated with home remedies and without seeing the eye doctor or ophthalmologist. I am not a physician, just a mom that has seen these problems all throughout the school year. It is rare, but if your child has a serious eye infection or it doesn’t seem to be clearing after you have done some common sense things; they should see the doctor immediately.
The first eye infection that is common is an inflammation of the eyelids. This may simply be caused by poor hygiene, or also poor general nutrition, where flaky crusts appear on the eyelid. If the infection isn’t too severe, gently washing the eyes in the morning and night can alleviate the problem. If the infection is severe, medication might be needed.
The second infection is conjunctivitis or pink eye. This is a virus or bacteria that can be highly contagious and passed from child to child by towels and bedding. The child may experience blurry vision, itchy and red or swollen tissue around the eyes, and sensitivity to light. Conjunctivitis can also be caused by allergies and asthma; making both eyes red, swollen, are itchy and tearing. Antihistamines or eye drops might be needed for this. The condition usually clears in about a week with proper hygiene and medication.
A stye is the third infection. It is a raised pimple on the eyelid. Apply warm compresses and allow healing to take place. If it does not heal, a topical antibiotic may be called for. This usually calls for a thorough eye examination because it may occur from poor vision. The fourth is blepharitis; causing redness and scaling of the eyes which are itchy and irritated. You might try a no tear shampoo and soft cloth. Your children are probably very active so they may be prone to getting a foreign object in their eye. They will complain of pain and the eyes will be tearing with lots of blinking. Usually washing the eye with lukewarm water will assist the object coming out of the eye.
Many parents would throw all of these suggestions right out the window and take their child to the doctor if any of these symptoms show up in the eyes of their children. That’s great and they are following their instinct to do so. If you have any questions about the health of your children’s eyes, don’t hesitate to see your physician or ophthalmologist.

Consolidating many small debts into one large debt is well known
to be a good first step in getting out of debt, but that’s not
to say that it comes without risk.
The main reason for this risk is that in order to secure a lower
interest rate (and thus a cheaper overall payment rate), you’ll
need to present some sort of collatoral to back the loan.
In most cases, a person who has equity in a home or other
property can get a debt consoladation loan at an extremely
attractive rate, but they must make sure ahead of time that they
are fully able to keep up with the payment plan. If a borrower
is unable to keep up with the payments, they risk forclosure
on their property. In this way, secured consoladation loans are
similar to home
morgages.
If you are unsure of your ability to comply with the terms of a
debt
consolidation loan, it is a good idea to seek some sort of
credit
counciling help, before you agree to anything.
