our back door...

...has been closed for about a week now!!!!! yes, while our door is always open this week we have not opened our door to anyone. in fact, when grandma showed up yesterday afternoon we all yelled, "get out!"

you see....mapboy spent the night with grandparents last saturday. in the morning they called to say that he had gotten sick in the middle of the night. he spent sunday and monday home and then off to school. tuesday, princess and i did the shopping. wednesday....well. we woke up to 6 inches of snow and a 2 hour delay!! yippee right?? no, i woke up feeling not so great....but not horrible. started through my coffee and decided to just wait. and then princess was bopping around and said "i think i'm going to throw up!" hmm..... so the kids were supposed to do without tv, but by 9 i needed them to just watch tv and princess and i were camped out on the couch....

mapboy got off to school and princess and i spent the day drinking gatorade and eating nothing....mapboy got home and took care of himself and us. hubby and mapboy headed off to church to avoid the germy girls at home.

thursday...princess wakes up feeling fine. i'm still yuck, hubby is now yuck, so i call dear friend to come pick up mapboy and take him to school. she giggles and asks him to wear a mask but agrees. she even delivers us more gatorade and sprite. she hangs it on the back door, knocks, and runs!!! love good friends. then she brings mapboy home after school....

well, it is now friday...princess is definitely fine, i'm weak, but fine, hubby...well better. it is princess's preschool program tonight and we should all be okay to go. maybe not hubby yet, but boy has it been a week!!!!!!!!!!!

i wonder why the kids bounce back so much quicker than us adults!!!???

so i'll let you all know when our door is open for company again. we currently are airing out our house. we have windows open everywhere - and yes, it is only like 20 degress outside!!!!! the one highlight...i lost 6 pounds in 3 days!!!! can't say i'd like to lose anymore that way though:)

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....
