Sorry I have been a neglectful blogger…we were busy over MLK holiday (kids had 3 days off)and getting back in to the school routine was draining to say the least. Then this past weekend we lost our last precious four legged friend. Bonnie our sweet cat had been with us for 14 years and we said a very sad, sudden, unexpected good-bye. Not ready to talk about that yet. We march on though so here’s the update…
I’ll wrap up the Colorado trip updates by saying we so enjoyed our time visiting my parents, visiting, playing and just being together. I so enjoy that my kids know Grama Linda and Grampa Mike are and love them despite being miles and miles away. I look forward to seeing them more in the future and so hope that some changes we have made will make that more financially feasible.
I am trying to make an effort to cook at home more this year! After recovering from the small heart attack I had after looking at the staggering figure Quicken spit out at the end of the year for our dinning out expenses I decided to make a more concision effort to eat at home. So tonight I am cooking my second sit down dinner this week, and the kids ate at home last night too! Tonight’s menu chicken pie, mashed potatoes, corn and bread…can you say starch city…this here is my problem…4 people in the family, 3 very picky eaters and me. And when I say very picky eaters I mean VERY picky eaters! What is a mom on the run supposed to do when no one will eat the same thing, or anything with actual flavor? I make 3 different meals each time and still no one seems happy…poo on you family! Seriously though if you have suggestions please share!
That’s my vent for the day…oh I have more but for your sanity I will not share because really who tunes in just to hear me rant?
