a hero for father's day

so i really wanted to write a post on my father...and i will, but in light of our morning here i wanted to share about how my husband is quite the hero in our little world.

i was taking my shower this morning. all was uneventful. i was pondering a few recent happenings and just enjoying the morning quiet. i grabbed my towel and started to dry off. i felt a poke on my elbow and thought that was odd. for some reason it was odd enough that i turned to look down. what i saw FREAKED ME OUT!!! i screamed - well i think it was one of those almost silent inhale type screams. it was a giant, black, hairy spider. no kidding...atleast 3 inches!! and very hairy. i threw the towel around me and jumped out of the shower. i ran into our dining room, still draped in my towel and rather wet, and yelled for hubby. he was upstairs and asked what i needed. i think he did sense the tension or fear in my voice and came quickly down followed closely by mapboy.

he looked at me a bit odd and then asked what i wanted. i led him to the tub and pointed. i told him it fell out of my towel and he laughed. seeing my great fear he smiled and said, "where's the camera?" to which i replied, "are you going to blog about this?" to which he replied, "oh yes i am!" when he got the camera he told mapboy to bring him a shoe, a big one. mapboy ran off to get the shoe, hubby took a picture, i still stood there in shock. hubby played the hero and killed the spider.

i am totally creeped out. in one week i nearly stepped on a snake in our back yard and was attacked by the big giant spider in the shower. i don't think i care to move to the country anymore!!!

i do think hubby regrets having killed the spider. but i don't....i want it out of here!!!!

I'm so proud of Kurt. Not because he killed the spider and saved the his damsel in distress, but b/c he's thinking like a true blogger! A blogger always is thinking about what his life in terms of bloggable events---and to get a picture, too--first-class. I look forward to seeing the post and picture.

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 ...
