same and new...

so today was the first of our new lifestyle. it went okay. hubby got a lot of work done. i cleaned house but couldn't vacuum until tonight. i worked at trying to keep the kids quiet and in one side of the house. with the exception of the storm and a few fights they did okay.

the kids and i spent the afternoon running errands. they did pretty good. the last 1/2 hour was rough and of course coming home is always the end of all of our ropes. for whatever reason, the moment we get out of the car they both start in. one needs a drink, one is starved, one said something to the other, one wants to watch something....i just want to unload the car and get stuff put away. but hey....i guess that is really the norm.

hubby did take the kids with him to a project tonight. they were gone for just over and hour and it was heaven here. i checked email, took a long walk, vacuumed, and started a magazine. then the door opened and the wants and needs started. i think i've created helpless kids!!!

off to bed....well, princess is back to her old tricks with the screaming and crying about being scared. i was trying to work on the computer and type some stuff up. but i knew i was losing my cool....so i grabbed a new magazine and sat on the back porch. i was kindly reprimanded by hubby for my parenting skills at bedtime and came back out to work. i got a few things done at the church today. i can do the internet stuff but i can't do any word documents. but it is after nine and frankly i'm done. i don't want to think anymore. i've been keyed up all day...

so i am boiling some water to make some relaxing tea and then head to bed. hubby handled the transition well...i, well, i'm gonna need to adjust!!!!!

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....
