did he just say that?

on the first day at the campground i was walking back from the bathroom and saw a turkey with 3 babies on my way. i quickly grabbed mapboy whose next favorite obsession is birds and took him to see the turkey. he quietly said he thought it was a peacock with her babies. now, every peacock i had seen was quite colorful and this one was all brown. i just smiled and pretended to agree. later, hubby came back and said he had seen a momma peacock and her babies. hmm...so maybe mapboy was right. a quick look in our book proved he was. this was the first of several times during the week that mapboy was right about things the rest of us were all wrong on.

we were getting back late a few nights later. we were all wondering what time it was when mapboy shouted out the answer. he does not have a watch and we kinda joked about the time he gave us. sure enough, he was exactly right. we laughed and asked him how he knew. he said he could tell by the stars. at this point i realize he is getting a little funny and just had a lucky guess! here is the conversation immedietely following:

mapboy: i told you i'm always right.

my dad: yes, yes, you are usually right.

me: there are times when mommy does know some things that you don't.

mapboy: well, atleast i know the difference between a peacock and a turkey!

everyone around: ha ha ha....

i can't believe i was just burned by my 6 year old son.....the rest of the family tried to make me feel better and he just kept on walking!!!

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....
