daddy's girl

hubby was lucky enough on saturday to be a part of history! yes, folks, he was at the notre dame game where they scored their first offensive touch down and also lost making it the worst opening record ever!!

this was his first adventure to the stadium for a game. being local we always have the home games televised. the kids were super excited to see their dad on tv. i mean how often does that happen!! i tried to explain that we most likely will not be able to see him, but that we can watch the game.

as game time approaches i call the kids in to get situated! knowing full well we won't see him, i don't want to dampen their spirits and high hopes. mapboy heads to his favorite spot and princess climbs to the other end of the couch. once she gets settled she grabs the blanket and pulls it up over her eyes. i turn to look at her and hear this:

"i just can't watch! tell me when it's over! i can't even look!"

hmmm...not sure what she is thinking here, but she is definitely not looking. she is huddled under that blanket! and it is 85 degrees...not blanket weather! so i ask her why she can't watch..

reply: "i just can't do it, mom!! i can't look!!"

me: what is it you can't watch??

her: "i can't watch dad! i can't watch him play football!"

oh my!! how precious that is!! but for those of you who know us it is even funnier(hubby is not really a big sports fan)!! although he did just pack on 18 pounds of pure muscle!!!! and maybe, he might even help the team out a little!!

he got quite a laugh out of it as well!!

my lesson....the kids really view their daddy as a man who can do just about anything!!!!

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...

they're here!!!!

this is not how i left my house this morning. in fact, i wanted to take a picture of kitchen set-up #2. it was really quite a nice set-up my hubby did! very functional and i was pleased. but i came home this afternoon to my kitchen being moved to the dining room and boxes everywhere!!!!!!! as you can see....the cabinets are in and some are going up RIGHT NOW!!! isn't she pretty? i can turn each shelf by itself. look there are four drawers in the picture. i am used to only 1 drawer....what will i ever do with so many drawers? see those boxes above....i think i'll be able to start putting them away - maybe even tonight, although with idol, the olympics, and a very important mom's morning talk to prepare the box emptying may just have to wait! if you look closely you can find the red trim paint we sampled....i can't wait for the full effect ahh.....did i mention the countertops won't be installed until the 27th at the earliest and that i'm not without a kitchen ...
