It has been another week from hell. Literally. My husband has been in his mania cycle since last Friday. I think. I honestly can't remember right now because I am so tired.

This morning, I made the mistake of asking who left the t.v. on in the living room all night, blaring the spanish channel. You think after five years I would know better. But I was tired and not thinking, so I asked.

Dunt dunt dunt duhhhh!!! That became my daughter and I getting accused for 2 hours of leaving it on and lying to cover it up so that we would make him think he's crazy. AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

The night before last it was he heard a thud outside so I had to go look what it might be at 2:00 a.m. because he was afraid someone was trying to break into my car.

Did I mention we know have baskets hanging from our tree's out back with tinfoil bows on them? He's trying to get a better t.v. signal.

Ok, deep breath Heather. Seriously. Something's gotta give. Oh how I pray for the depressive cycle.

So this morning was like any other EXCEPT...I had an idea!

Many of you may not know but my husband is disabled. He has insulin dependent diabetes, cirrhosis of the liver, cysts on his kidneys and liver, gallstones, IBS, and if all that weren't enough, he has bipolar and borderline personality disorder. P.s. He's only 43!

My life, well, IT'S CRAZY!

Most people know the (manic/depressive) part of bi-polar, but they have no clue what all it entails. Our society has put such a stigma on Mental Illness that people want to hide and not talk about it. I have decided to be the exception to the social rule :) I know, you're shocked right! LOL

So I had a great idea!

When my husband gets "stuck" while in his manic cycle, I'll make him a blog of his own and he can stay up three days blogging about it instead of waking me up 7 times in the middle of the night, every night, to tell me! Instead of calling me 90 times a day at work, he can blog!

I have such hope for this idea. It has the potential to completely change our marriage and lives!

Please keep us in prayer as I try to birth this dream for him.

Hi Mom Said friends :)

I am SO SUPER EXCITED to tell you all about the latest product I reviewed called Prefense Hand Sanitizer!!

Now I know what you're thinking, Mom must really need a vacation if she is this jazzed up about a hand sanitizer. While I do love vacations, for real, you need to check this stuff out.

Okay, show of unprotected hands, how many of you since the "Swine Flu" epidemic have practically bathed yourself in hand sanitizer every day?

Me, I have one on my desk at work, one in my car, one in my purse, one in the living room, one above the kitchen sink, one in my bedroom, and one in the bathroom. Literally. I'm seriously OCD about germs!

You know you have to have it everywhere! I mean, how long does the stuff last? If you're a Mom like me, not long! And God forbid we go on a trip, like to Washington, or New York City which if you know me, I love to go on trips!! Forget about it! I'm either in the bathroom washing my hands every 5 min. or have my hand sanitizer out so much that my hands are so dried from the alcohol in them they're cracking and bleeding. Any good Mom knows we look for the ones with the greatest amount of alcohol in them! UNTIL NOW!!! {{Insert the sound of angelic angels singing here }}~!

I would like you to meet Mom Said's newest BFF, Prefense Hand Sanitizer!!

What again with the eye rolls? Hey listen, you know if Mom Said says it, it's law, so just let me tell you about my new BFF then I'll give you a chance to win a MEGA 8 oz. bottle of Prefense and try it for yourself.

Prefense Hand Sanitizer:

1. Contains NO ALCOHOL!! I'll say it again....NO ALCOHOL!!

2. One application of Prefense lasts....24 HOURS or 10 HAND WASHES!!! Again, let me emphasize you do not have to reapply it when the alcohol smell goes away because there is NO ALCOHOL! Prefense’ active ingredient, AMOSILQ, is a silica complex that dries into an invisible, protective film that stands guard against pathogens you encounter throughout the day.

If a transfer of germs occurs while AMOSILQ is on defense, it actively slices the cell wall of pathogens you confront for up to 24 hours, whether wet or dry.
3. Goodbye chapped, cracked, bleeding hands. Prefense contains soothing botanicals that softens your hands to prevent drying, redness and chapping. My hands felt soft and moisturized after I used the Prefense!

4. Prefense is Non-Toxic and Safe For Kids! You know what this means? Less stress for MOM!!

5. Prefense protects against staph infections, strep, E.coli, drug resistant MRSA strains, and so many more.

There are just too many benefits to list! Seriously. This product is phenominal! They even have them available in wipes now.

So now Moms, are you convinced? Believe me. Prefense does not need bloggers to convince anyone! This product speaks volumes for itself. Here's a comparison:

And just one more thing: 

The 8oz. Prefense you have a chance of winning:

Contains 640 sprays! And because of their "one spray lasts all day", that one bottle of Prefense could potentially last one user almost 2 years! To purchase the hand sanitizer only costs about $.08 per day, compared to $1.20 per day with traditional hand sanitizers. 

Beat that! Goodbye alcohol sanitizers. You are so yesterday!

Hello Prefense! You are my BFF for life<3

Here's how to get yours:

I carry the pager for my job. I always keep the pager in my purse during working hours.
Today at work, the pager went off in my purse when I was out smoking a cigarette.
No one came to get me even though I was just 5 feet outside the door.
Instead, I came back in from smoking my cigarette to find a male supervisor rummaging through my purse to try to find the pager and turn it off.

So, here's the question: Regarding the co-worker rummaging through my purse:

Is it a mountain,


Or a Molehill?
