When I was seven my mom made me go to bed right in the middle of a movie I was watching about a girl who shook her baby to death. I was mad because I wanted to stay up and see what happened.
After a few minutes of laying in bed and hearing the movie still on, I yelled for my mom and told her I had a stomachache and it hurt to lay down. She let me come back out to the living room and gave me a huge glass of prune juice. I drank it very slowly so I could watch the rest of my movie.
I have no clue what happened in the movie, but I do remember I had the runs the whole next day at school.
I’m a fun-loving foster and adoptive mom juggling a teenager, a tween, and a toddler, all while navigating the wild world of homeschooling. I recently took the plunge and moved to a new state without ever setting foot there—talk about an adventure! This is my real-life story, filled with chaos and joy. My mission? To swap out traditional products and pharmaceuticals for healthier, natural options for my family. Oh, and I really miss writing, so I'm excited to weave that back into my life!

ROFL! That's an awesome story. Thanks for sharing it. :)
That's funny. I can't say I've ever had prune juice. But now I know I'm not missing anything. LOL
