suprise!

this is a few days late, but still worthy of a post!

all year princess and her friend poppy seed would have play dates twice a week. dear friend would pick them up one day and i would pick them up the next. as moms, we had a guaranteed 2 day free time, and the girls of course loved it. they had 4 awesome teachers that each day would ask to come have lunch with them. the girls would giggle and say no.

well, dear friend and i decided that we would surprise the girls by having the teachers over for lunch this week. i told princess we were going to go play with poppy seed for a little while and maybe have lunch with them. dear friend had a large variety of food on the counter and the girls never asked why there was so much. we did finally tell them some other people might come by for lunch.

the doorbell rang and the 2 girls ran to the door. they were running at full speed and then came to an abrupt halt. it was the 4 teachers!!! they turned back, looked at me, and ran away. we all laughed and the girls decided they could stay for lunch. they were so quiet the whole time and then went off to play. the 6 of us ladies sat and laughed for a good 2 hours!!

it was so much fun to hear the stories and see that they really do love our girls. not that i every really wondered about that. but i loved spending some time with them and letting them know how much i appreciate what they have done for princess.

on the way home i asked princess if she enjoyed the lunch. she kinda smiled and said, "yeah, but we told them they had to work while we played. and today they played." not sure what she meant by that, but she was quite serious.

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 ...
