what do i do with this??

a few nights ago around the supper table, hubby announced we were going to have about 9 more kids. i'm not sure where he was going with this, but the kids got very interested. as the conversation went on, the kids decided they would rather live with our doctors family so they could have more siblings and catch frogs at their house. okay?!?

well, today princess had her kindergarten physical and told the doctor what they decided. he said that sounded great and finished her exam. no big deal...

until after dinner tonight...

at the table, princess told daddy that doc said they could come on out. she disappeared. when i went to find her, i found her in her room surrounded by bags filled with her favorite clothes and toys. she was packing!!!!!! i kinda giggled..okay so i laughed and didn't think much of it. i called the doc's wife and told her to get ready. when i went back upstairs she was sitting on daddy's lap just sobbing...i mean SOBBING!!!!

he had a friend waiting downstairs so i hung up the phone and picked her up. she cried for a good 20 minutes. she wants to move. she doesn't like her room. we talked for a while about what she would like to change in it and i tried to find some ways to meet her half-way on this one. i couldn't believe her incredible sobs. she can really turn on that fake cry, but this was true sobbing. i've never seen her so distressed!!!

what on earth do i do with this??!?!?!?! talk about feeling like i am a total failure as a mom. i mean the guilt is running wild through my heart and mind. what have i done wrong??? where do i go from here???

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...

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....

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...
