Snow Snow Oh How Pretty .. But Please Can you Go Away!

Oh yeah they predicted 8 to 10 inches of snow and I think we are there or are very close to it!  We live in Washington snow is not something we usually get a lot of.  Rain now on the other hand, which is cool with me.  But Snow can really throw a wrench into my day.  Now Snow is great the kids can play and have fun and when I work OUTSIDE the home it was great.  I could call into work due to not being able to drive there and just hang with the kids.  Since my office is located in my house that leaves me with no excuse for not going to work.  SO we are on DAY 3!!! of kids home.  The kids go play for a while but come right back in and it’s all day long of “he touched me”.

THANK God Rick has the day off today so he can help out or you may all be seeing me in a looney bin!  Wish me luck and that the snow goes to higher ground where people love it and I can look at it from the distance … lol!

We Interrupt Your Regular Programing …

The Pacific North West has been hit by snow, thankfully yesterday was a Holiday so it didn’t mess up school but today we have been hit again.  It’s coming down like crazy, I swear it looks like a blizzard outside.  So a quick post today but of course I leave you with a recipe to keep your belly warm!  The boys of course are loving this, and mom is just trying to stay sane with boys in the house.

And for something to warm you up from the cold, well it’s served cold but when I was young mom would always serve it warm .  I found an amazing recipe for Refreshing Apple Tapioca Pudding.

What is on your menu tonight?  Are you getting snow?

Tuesday Friends with Full Bellies

Last week was a Mexican meal week, I didn’t realize that while I was making my meal plan for the week. This was super yummy and I can’t believe how easy! This Bubble-Up Enchiladas were a hit even my friends son that is a picky eater.

Then for dessert I made a Apple Oatmeal Crisp, that was easy and way to yummy!

So what is on your menu tonight?

We literally are Pulling Teeth :(

Pulling teeth is one of my favorite go to frazes when I call people for work and I’m trying to confirm and gather their information.  But today is a different type of pulling teeth.  2 weeks ago Caden couldn’t sleep and was complaining about his mouth.  Being the Amazing Super Mom that I am just thought he was being the little drama queen he always is.  Then when we didn’t sleep at all one wink I looked in his mouth to find that he back molar was cracked … UGH.

Called a local dentist to see if we could get him in.  When Rick changed jobs we lost our insurance so it was all out of pocket, thankfully this place let’s you make payments!  So we went in for a quick x-ray and a prescription for an antibiotic.  Along with an appointment to come back in two weeks for an extraction. YUP not looking forward to that bill! So today is the day for the extraction.  Caden is very scared and mama is too.  Wish us luck tomorrow!

He was all happy last time, plus got to play brothers DS!

Of Course when dentist came in it was all tears .

Happy Friday the 13th Everyone!  Stay away from black cats & walking under ladders.  I think I have had my far share of good and bad luck, I’ll be trying to find me a four leaf clover .. lol.

Look My New Work Clothes Arrived!!!

Rick was so sweet and bought me a new outfit for my work day, but sadly it was a size too big.  You should have seen his face when I put it on and you really could fit two of me in there, now if it was my regular size and that happened I’d be happy but come to find out it was just the wrong size.  So back it went and last night my right one came and this one was roomy too but not too bad. 

Here is my new Work Day Outfit:

Aren’t they cute??  Oh yes they are pink, soft and have cupcakes all over them!!  What I work from home!  At least it matches and doesn’t have stains! lol  Happy Thursday only 2 more work days for me! Yeah!!

Sticking to a Resolution

Well I gave up with resolutions I don’t seem to follow threw with some things. So why not something I NEED to do and won’t end up with me in tears laying on the bed trying to pull on a pair of pants … well I digress!

I tackled my spice rack that drives me insane.  The more cooking I do the more I rely on my spices.  Every day I’m pulling down all these bottles to get just the right spice and of course each time it’s in the back!  I saw some great ideas on Pinterest but my cupboards are older and I couldn’t do the cool idea with the magnet paint and hang the spices on the door.  So I went on a search of what I can do!

I then hit my favorite store Winco with their amazing bulk section they have great spice bottles for like 79 cents!  I then had Rick’s label gun and went to town transferring my spices to the new bottles and labeling them.  I then went OCD and put them in alphabetic order and put them in my new Christmas Present to myself the Swivel Store Spice Rack at Bed Bath & Beyond for $19.99 and used my 20% off coupon!!  I need to go back for one more rack, I’m just waiting for my next coupon to come in the mail.  I want to do all my baking stuff like the sugars and other decorating items I have.

Check out my mess to HEAVEN!

My year is getting off to a good start!  Now to tackle my spare room and get it ready for the boys to have separate rooms!!  Do you have a practical new years resolution?
