where i've been???

it has been almost a week since i posted. and since so many of you want to know the play by play of my life i'm offering a recap today.

last friday - well....you read that for yourself! great day!

saturday - i won a jousting contest, rode a bull for 13 seconds, lost my race in the obstacle course, and rocked at laser tag! did i mention i was at a children's ministry event?????

sunday - left the family at home and went to church alone. sent the good doc over to see hubby, picked up prescriptions and lunch, came home and started to crash myself. couldn't even make it up to watch pride and prejudice!!

monday - sent everyone to school and work and felt myself slowly go down hill. wait, by bedtime i was a mess!!

tuesday - had a fever, princess had an earache, mapboy went to school. princess and i got prescriptions and slept. okay, i slept, she played. then i mustered energy to go to a church meeting - bad idea!!

wednesday - mapboy screams at 2 am his ear is hurting - wakes up again at 6:15 and cries all day. doc sees him and finds a really bad ear infection. we are now all four on antiobiotics - all different - all different dosages. not good for a sick momma!!

and now today....mapboy was excused for today from school..oh boy since he is acting so much better. by that i mean - he is quite active!! i feel better - although still rather sinusey (is that a word). but my parents flew in from florida to attend a funeral today so we are all having dinner tonight, and yes, before you ask, i AM taking mapboy who will not be at school today to dinner at pizza hut!!

so there you have it folks...my week in review!!

oh wait...did any of you catch the eclipse last night??? it was pretty cool around here!!!

Wow, you guys have been slammed with sickness and snow this winter. Praying that health and spring come soon!

How much snow have you guys gotten this year? We are expecting 3-4 inches tomorrow, but probably haven't even had 3-5 inches the entire winter.

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 ...
