and we are off!!

princess is packed. mapboy is packed. hubby is packed. me? mostly packed. we are off in just a few hours!!

this trip should be quite the adventure. my kiddos have never had to ride such long days. when we did route 66 we did short days with a lot of stops along the way. at that time princess was just learning to crawl so sitting didn't bother her. thankfully the motorhome travel is complete with a large tv for viewing, room to move around in, a table to play games in, and i don't get car sick!!

i'm looking forward to some fun time together...this spring has been filled with disappointment and some tension around here. getting away will be good for all of us. since we have my parents with us i'm looking forward to the night where they keep the kiddos and we get a chance to have a date at disney! i've always wondered what that would be like - really i have. my best friend and i went to disney on a spring break trip in college and we talked about what we would do there if we were on a date. i know, pathetic, but when you are a junior in college and some of your friends are getting engaged that is what you think about!!!

okay - now i'm rambling and for those of you who know me that happens a lot when i get a little stressed. there are a few things left to pack up. i must vacuum and wipe down counter tops, and then my poor little oscar dog gets loaded up to visit the doggy hotel! i'm sure he is least excited about this trip!

anyways, dear friends, not sure that i'll check in down there...so you all have a great week and i'll let you know what kind of adventures we had!!!

many blessings

me, on politics

i despise politics. i never liked it, but i married a man fascinated with it. a man who wanted to be part of it all...and was, briefly. boy were our eyes opened... anyways...it seems like this election has several hot button topics. one of which is universal healthcare. my cousin started a blog called politics for mom and there have been several heated debates going on. i was reading several comments on healthcare. and frankly i was bothered! now, i don't know that a strict universal healthcare is the answer, but i do know that we have now doesn't work for the average person. here is our story.... hubby worked in a small business - 3 employees at the most that i can remember. we paid 1/2 our insurance..until it came to the point where our half each month was twice what we would pay if we were on our own. but for the owner it saved him money. so he agreed to cover ours in full. we were very grateful. i also know at times, that because of the healthcare cost, it was a struggle f...

from the kitchen...

chicken bruschetta bake if you know me, you know my great distaste of tomatoes. i usually pick the tomato chunks out of my sgetti sauce. yes i just called it sgetti!! i eat all the chunks of my salsa, except the tomatoes. but over the past few years i've gotten a bit brave and will eat small pieces of tomatoes in fresh salsa and in this dish as well. i hadn't fixed this in probably over a year. but a few weeks ago i pulled out my recipe file to find some old favorites. i found this and realized i had everything in the pantry. that's a deal!!!!! i did have to switch out the diced tomatoes because my can was crushed instead. i prefer the diced but this worked just as well. the kids loved the chicken, but not so much the topping. this was great as leftovers, too. i ate it for lunch the following two days. 1 can. (12.5oz) diced tomatoes, undrained 1 pkg. stove top stuffing mix for chicken (i use aldi brand) 1/2 cup water 2 cloves garlic, minced 1.5 pounds skinless...

life with izzie b

so i'm out of town right now and this time with my friend izzie b (names have been changed to protect the people we know). we are actually at a conference that is rocking my world, but we are two crazy girls alone in a big city. anyways.....she is a weird person. she likes car rides and she likes to watch the sunrise while riding in the car so we started our trip at 5:30 AM!!! 5:30 AM friends...ugh. but we had a non-eventful trip and honestly it wasn't so bad. i'm weird so i had packed us ham and cheese sandwichs. we stopped several times to get out and walk. we stopped for gas somewhere a bit redneck and they sold mostly fireworks. lots and lots of fireworks. that place also had some kind of super duper blue light hand dryer. it was honestly a bit freaky. then we checked in and found we had a smoking room. it was quite smoky and so we asked for a change. no luck, but the nice lady offered to bring up an odor remover machine while we were at the conference. um....
