ok well I made another GROSS dinner!! I am so mad!! Why are all the recipes I choose so gross?!!! I am a decent cook when I make things that I know are good but trying new things lately has not been good. None of them!! My poor dh!! It was a crock pot meal and it was chicken and sweet potato stew. Sounded good to me, but I guess not. So needless to say we had sandwiches and chips for dinner, probably not the healthiest choice for me but I have been doing really good and hadn't eaten much all day. DD had the stew and seemed to like it but she eats anything LOL! Tomorrow is pulled pork sandwiches and I think that is pretty much fool proof so I think I am safe tomorrow.
Went to the grocery store earlier and got all my shopping done for the week and stuff for my dh to camp with this weekend. He is going to the coast with some buddies to go ride dirt bikes. I was going to go but another couple with kids pulled out and now it's just bachelors going so I don't think it would all that fun for me and Bayley. So now I can focus on getting stuff done for Bayley's 1st b-day!!! What are all your plans this weekend?
Ricci sorry I gave you my sickness!! LOL I think mine was the stomach flu though and yours sounds more like a bad cold. I hope you are feeling better.
Spryng I go to the gym in the morning so all the hot guys are at work and it's full of old people. Which is good because I roll out of bed and go so I'm not looking good at all!! Not that I'm there to scope out guys anyway but you know what I mean. Flylady was great today, I think we should set up a regular time to do it every week and then whoever wants to join can and we can put it in our control journal so it's actually an organized thing!!
Melinda I hope you can find out what is biting your baby. Bayley had that a couple weeks ago and I never did figure out what it was. I think she was allergic to the soap I washed her with one day cause I was out of her baby soap. Not sure though. Good luck back on WW!!
Kristin glad you are back!!! Can't wait to hear more about your trip! Good luck on all the laundry. That's the worst part of vacation!!!
Hi Jae. I'm Jill SAHM of Bayley who is almost 1. I'm from Oregon too! So glad to have someone from the west coast here!! How is the baby doing?
Michelle, Where are you??!!!!!! I miss you!!!
Penny thanks for the post card!! You are so sweet!! It just brightened my day when I saw that! You are the best!!
Ok hope you all post some more later. I know a couple of you are working so hope to hear from you when you get off work! TTYL
Hi Geri sorry you are tired, hope to hear from you soon!!
Crystal give us some details in the morning about the move.
Deana sorry you had such a hard day. I know how hard it is to do anything in heat!! I had to work in a kitchen with no A/C during record heat of 105 here!! Was not fun. Good for you for sticking with it though. I would have given up!! LOL
YAH! One of the evil twins was booted out of the big brother house tonight!! LOL.. Leigh I hope you have been able to watch it!
Jill, where are you getting your recipes?? I did that at first when I started doing saving dinner... some recipes were great and some were down right gross. But I figured out after awhile which would be what and go accordingly. Like alot of her crockpot stuff isn't so hot... and I don't like any of the soups I made... and forget salads... lol. I am all for doing flylady every week together... I thought we decided on monday's before? Just pick a day and i'm there!
Deana, you poor thing!! Come over here and enjoy my ac with me. I could not clean when it was that hot in the house. So kudos to you!! Have a great nights sleep, you deserve it!
Geri, so glad you popped in! Get some rest and you can catch up with us tomorrow!
Crystal, what kind of restrictions did he place?? I hope everything gets worked out for you all. And I didn't think you were rude when you didn't chat with us this afternoon, lol... ok, at first I did because the message that popped up was Thanks But No thanks!! And I thought, how rude! LOL... but then Jill said that is what the yahoo messenger says when someone declines and it wasn't you, lol... so I took back all the nasty things I said about you, lol! But I remembered you said your dh would be home so I completely understand! I mean I'm always MIA when my dh is in!
Jae, do you have yahoo messenger?? If not download it because when I'm online I would love to do a challenge or two with you!! You can click on my yahoo icon on the left of this message to get my screen name and all that.
Ok, I need to get in bed. WI is tomorrow and I have my hopes up... I know, bad idea... but I really think I may hit 125 even tomorrow!!!! I'm hoping so badly! So off to bed I go! TTYL!
Spryng I am watching Big Brother now and you ruined it!!! Ha Ha it's ok though!! Ya I think we did decide on Mondays I had just forgotten because I wasn't here last week and I am scatterbrained. I love using my crock pot but not for gross meals. Do you have any good ones that you like that you could share with me? I was thinking about signing up for Saving Dinner but wasn't sure about it. Are most of the recipes good? Anyway my WI is tomorrow and I hope I didn't ruin it tonight by having the salty chips and such. I think I will spend the rest of the night drinking water and try and get rid of it. Ok back to BB!! TTYL
Jill yes most of the recipes on saving dinner is good! She does one crock pot recipe a week, one salad, one grilled item (since it's summer) but you can use your oven, one fish.. etc... you get real variety. I like the majority of her recipes but there are always those "few" that come out bad. Go to savingdinner.com and try her sample menu, then after that week decide whether or not you want to buy the subscription ok? And sorry about the big brother spoiler!!!! I thought thursday's were live?? I forget you are two hours earlier than me.
I do have one really good crockpot recipe that everyone loves...
Sour cream salsa Chicken
Place chicken breasts (boneless skinless) in crock pot, pour a pkg of taco season over them and 1 cup salsa, cook for 6-8 on low or until done. Remove chicken and stir in one cup sour cream until smooth than replace chicken in salsa/sour cream sauce.
This is great to eat just like that but it's really really good as burrito filling! I shred it up when it's all done and eat it as burritos. Everyone I've ever made it for or given the recipe to has loved it, so try it and it's low fat/cals too.
Hey girls!! I'm here sorry I didn't get a chance to post all day today. I cleaned house did laundry and my car windows got tinted my car looks really cute now!! I also worked til 8pm and then went and met with an insurance agent to fill out life insurance forms for myself I only currently have 25,000 on myself and it was reccommended that I at least have 150,000 so I've applied for 200,000 more but we'll see if they approve it because of my health issues. We'll see though. Hubby already has plenty on himself and then we're getting cash building policies on the kids so when they are older it will have cash value that they can cash out on. Anyway thats what I did tonight lol sorry to be so long winded.
Thanks everyone for the nice comments on our family photos. I am pleased with them as well and can't wait to hang them on our walls! There were so many posts I can't catch up but please know that I love you all to pieces!! I need to hit the sack because I have a doctors appointment tomorrow morning for my monthly weigh in. I was at 210 on my scale today so I'm pleased
I hope you all sleep well! I'll be posting more after this week is over and I"m not working so much
Hello Chicks! I hope everyone is doing great! I just wanted to let everyone know that I am still here! I’m Alive!!! I don’t have anything positive to report, so I’ll keep this short. I swear since I decided not to get on the computer while my son is at school, the time just seems to be running out before my eyes, and I have another busy day today, but I’ll try to check back in later!
