so it has been a rather interesting week around here. here is a sampling:

Sunday:

hubby to me: "i think i'm going to keep my distance..." yes, i had woke up with a nasty head/sinus thing.

mapboy at supper time: "i don't really want to eat." yes....he was getting sick!!! oh boy!!!

princess, mapboy middle of night: "mom! mom! mom!! MOM!!!!!" oh joy:)

Monday:

mapboy at 5 am "ohhhhhhhhh" yep, he's home for the day!!

princess at 7:35 am "mom, when are you going to get me up?" me, "you can get up!" her, "i don't want to" me, "okay" her "i'm up!"

princess at 7:50 "when are you taking me to school?" me in my head, "what on earth. she kept me up half the night. why does she want to go to school????" but i took her!

mapboy at 8,9,10,1,2... "ohhhhh....."

princess at 3:30 - "i don't feel good! my ear, my ear MY EAR!!!!!!" oh joy!!!!

and it just keeps getting better folks!! but i'm thankful for a great doctor that calls in drugs and makes us all feel better about life:)

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.

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 ...
