a bad day!

we all have them don't we? ours started out really not so bad...everyone slept in a little. we had a late breakfast. kiddos cleaned their bedrooms, well, i might add, and played while i cleaned house.

for whatever reason cleaning my house today put me in a bad mood and i can't get out of it. now...to be honest i shouldn't call it a bad mood. maybe more of a "i've had it" kind of mood. i realized while i was cleaning that we have a lot of junk. just odd toys we have that i find around the house. stacks of things sitting around - hubby is saying amen to that! clutter - i'm not in to knick-knacks!

anyways - i want to gut it all and start over. i did talk the kids into sending a few more games to the garage sale closet. but i want to take a giant trash can and throw it out! i want to organize. i want to have money to buy all sorts of cute organization things and have fun! but alas....not in my near future.

i decided to get out of the house to get away from my mood. my dad wanted me to pick their green beans so off we went. it helped. alittle.

oh well - someday, i will take a trash bag and go through this house. probably when i'm alone, for a long time - sometime in the far far future!!!!!! for now - i'm okay again.

i am sooooo with you, sweet sister in law! i need to attack my basement in the WORST way. i can't wait til it's finished down there with closets and things like that. it would help so much. why does eating healthy and staying organized have to cost so much money???!!!

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....
