true confessions

on friday, princess had her preschool graduation. she only graduated from the 3/4 class to the prek class but still a huge deal in our little world.

tonight, mapboy has his school music program. this is the first one of his school career. it is for all of the k-2nd grade. he will be singing several songs with an animal theme of some kind. this should be a big moment as well, and it is....but here's my confession: the finals of american idol are on tonight! so all day long i've been thinking "will we make it home on time? why won't our recorder record anymore? who can i call to record it for me? when will i get to watch it?"

sad isn't it? while my little boy is so excited to perform for his friends and family i'm stressed about american idol!! what does that say about me??? well, amazing race is over, survivor is over, this is the final week of american idol....what will i watch next - and geez, i am really pathetic!!!

what can i say? at the end of the day i love a good reality show. that reality always seems much more exciting than mine. i do think i'm living a bit more reality though.

and yes, tonights performance at our elementary school will be the great reality show that i most definitely do not want to miss. and rest assured, i will find a solution to my american idol dilema!

That's so funny because that's exactly my dilemna for tonight. In fact, Say Anything just said this morning that she can't believe I scheduled this coffeehouse the night of the American Idol finals!!!! So, don't worry, we are all pathetic. But my DVR is definitely set to catch all the action. Go Jordin!!!

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....
