Another bites the dust …. That’s Right Spammer!

Rick actually had an early night last night so we had a family night of dinner and chit chat and you know not try to kill the kids who were in overdrive.  I haven’t heard I’m hungry so many times in my life.  UGH growth spurts I guess but really must all the food end up on my FLOOR!

I wanted to post about my customer service that really pissed me off but that would take some time and I’m still cooling off … hehe.  So I leave you with a comment from a spammer (I copied it before deleted the comment that had links to I’m sure some kind of virus).

Got to love when a spammer is more critical then your own mother, guess I should be happy they didn’t tell me I’m fat … hehe.

Get ready …. Here it comes!

NOTE LEFT : In the great pattern of things you actually get an A+ for effort and hard work. Where you actually lost me was first in all the facts. You know, people say, details make or break the argument.. And that couldn't be much more true here. Having said that, permit me say to you precisely what did give good results. The writing is certainly incredibly convincing and this is probably the reason why I am taking the effort in order to opine. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Next, although I can easily notice a jumps in reason you make, I am not certain of just how you appear to connect your points that produce the final result. For the moment I shall subscribe to your position however wish in the foreseeable future you link your dots much better.

Yes cut me down and then leave me spam links …hehe.  And for you wondering what the post it was.  It was a recipe post.

I’ll be pulling out my hair from now on posting a recipe to make sure I connect the dots on how the dish comes together! hehe

Weekend that I didn’t sit down again!

As usual it was a full packed weekend this weekend.  I of course packed it all in!  Saturday as most of you know I work Sat from 5am to 9am.  Then I had to run get me and the boys dressed and run out the door to head to Lowe’s kid clinic to make a school house photo holder.  All I have to say 1 mom vs 2 kids with hammers never seems to work in my favor … lol.

After Lowe’s we hit Ross to pick up 2 toys for the birthday parties we had to go to and oh yeah mom needed an outfit.  One thing about working at home I don’t have much of a wardrobe now.  Plus sitting on my rear all day may … just may have made it grow a tad bit out of my previous clothes.  So I got home tried on my new top and jeans and of course had to play in the mirror for a while.  hehe who would think I get nervous going to parties and fitting in I may just may practice my look and smile before we leave … ok maybe just a little pep talk too … hehe!

First birthday party here we come!!!  Bouncy house is where it is at.  And yeah my boys didn’t come out crying or bloody so it was a good day! Caden wasn’t having the bouncy house, to many big kids but then he decided to go in and had fun!

2nd Birthday party gave us hotdogs, burgers and ice cream cake.  We ran around, ok the kids did I got to sit down and chit chat and even warm up by the bonfire.  Yes I said warm up, the NW has been having an odd summer.  We get sun and then all of a sudden it get breezy and cold.

Sunday our new church did a day of community service instead of services.  I love to get out and to give a helping hand or in the service I chose was serving hot dogs at a mobile home park.  I help the Pastor’s mom do a story board of Noah’s ark, she read the book and I put up the felt characters.  Cole came with me which I thought would be fun for him but he got bored for a while the back yard didn’t have a lot of toys like I was told so that of course was a challenge with my hyper boy.  Caden stayed at the church and played on the outdoor toy.

One of the other community services was to pass out goodies at the park and ride down the street.  I offered to make a few goodies.  I made Brownie Cherry Bites and my Rice Krispie popscicles.   First off I made Brownie Cherry Bites.  I was told by the church lady one of the gals said these were the best brownie’s she had ever tasted.  I didn’t have one but they looked very moist and my neighbor got a plate too and she agreed .

Then I whipped up a batch of Rice Krispie Dipper Treats one with the sprinkles and then I experimented with dipped in milk chocolate and drizzling with white chocolate.  I then put them in a candy bag and tied them up with a pink polka-dot ribbon.  I’m so excited to hear that these were such a hit that one lady asked for my business card and would like me to make them for her niece's party.  I think I may just have to put together a little side business .

Happy Wednesday!

Simple meal when your in a pinch

So as you know I’m a little nutty and have gotten really good at doing a meal plan each week.  One way that keeps me sane is I created a folder on my webpage that I save recipes by categories etc … I told you I was nutty.  Well last week something happened that made me cry some how the folder was gone.  I mean MONTHS and MONTHS of finding recipes and saving them for later is gone.  SO I had to find a meal today in a pinch and since my neighbor didn’t have enough cans of black beans (just playing with her I didn’t want to clock out and run to the store hoping she had extras).  I had to make with what I had my house and this is what I found!

First on the list was Pasta with Roasted Broccoli with Garlic and Oil from Skinnytaste.com.  This was super yummy and easy to make plus the boys love broccoli so it works out perfect (Cole had 3 helpings).

And I had to give the boys some meat so chicken came into play.  I found this Parmesan Chicken on a NEW site I found ladies check out loseweightfit.com has some great weight watcher recipes and points!

Happy Tuesday everyone hope you had a fabulous day mine was kind of long and then I had a VERY horrible customer service conversation … don’t worry that post will come this weekend.  Don’t mess with a blogger because we WILL post and let all of our friends know about it.  I think the manager thought I was joking when I said I will let EVERYONE know about this .  Yes in my head I’m a real famous blogger … lol.

BBQ time? How about a pork marinate?

Rick wanted something different then the usual that I have been making so I found some pork chops on sale at Winco so I picked them up and had to find something to do with them!  Thanks to Google I found a yummy marinate.  I started the marinate early since it was Tuesday and that is when our friends come for dinner.  Sadly later that day she had cancel and I already had the chops marinating so I had Rick put them on the grill and knew I would use them again later that week.   My little helper Caden had to get into helping to, man I’m telling you when he gets married the lady better thank me for his cooking skills … lol

Have a great Monday everyone, I’m still trying to find the bottom to this thing they call my life.  I need some normal here soon .

More Gym Funny Stick Notes!

Well the gym and my relationship has more bumps and bruises then my poor son Caden who hasn’t meet a wall or concrete that he hasn’t felt the need to place his head on.  But I’m back baby … No really my butt is back and holy crap do I need to loose it.  Not even Sir Mix A lot would like this baby got back! Do you think if I wish hard enough I’ll wake up with J-Lo’s booty and Fergies stomach?  Yeah I didn’t think so either.  So we laugh at ourselves and the fun I see at gym!

Weekend of Zoo & the Lake

Another weekend of running around and fun! Saturday I ran out of here after work at 9am to take the kids to the zoo, they were having a shark day (but sadly by the time we got there the one thing was over and the next one didn’t start until 2p).  By 1pm Caden was tired grumpy and was yelling “I want to go home”. I took my queue cut the trip then and back to the car and home we went for naps and playtime with neighbor kids.

First we stopped in the play center, checked out all the animals there and tried out some fun toys!

I even sprung for some french fries for the boys.  They enjoyed the PB&J sandwiches and flavored water I packed for them.  It was nice to fill up before we headed out walking.

We hit up the touch tank and felt the star fish, sea enemies and other fun water creatures.

Then we feed the budgies is always fun heck for $1 each you can’t beat the fun of a bird hoping onto your hand.

Sunday we headed to my parents house to visit.  The sun all of a sudden came out so we headed to the waterfront for an impromptu lunch and then some swim time.  I of course didn’t bring suits so it was underwear to the rescue …. What they are like tiny winy bathsuits!

This week still is not going off the way I thought it would.  I signed Cole up for summer camp thinking I could get back in the groove of gym etc but Monday had break down didn’t go, yesterday I had to take him and then stay for 45 min with the promise I would come back early.  Today looks like I’ll be dropping off and picking up again.  I may win someday soon! Hope your week is going better then mine .. teehee
