The Three Kings came a few days early this year ;)

Of course the 2nd is not the 6th, well after talking it over, we agreed it was easier to have Epiphany tomorrow since school is still out and the Mr is home.

Yes our Kings fill our Stockings.

Happy New Year!

An online friend posted this today-

Thought I'd share it with you all too-

An Irish blessing for you all.

Wishing you always...

Walls for the wind,

A roof for the rain

And tea beside the fire.

Laughter to cheer you,

Those you love near you,

And all that your heart may desire

~Tasty Tuesday~ Breakfast

Breakfast Burritos & Egg Muffin Sandwiches

(premake 12 at a time)

You'll need:

vacuum seal storage bags

paper towels/napkins

Ingredients:

6 tortillas

6 english muffins

1 dozen eggs

6 slices bacon

6 slices cheese

It took about an hour to bust out the 12 items and about $10 so that's under $1 each morning for a hot fresh burrito or sandwich. Take one to work, take out of bag, pop in the microwave wrapped in paper towel. maybe 30-45 seconds, time varies, try it a few times to get it right.

Warm up 6 tortillas, place 1/2 slice cheese in the center of each,

Cook up 6 slices bacon, place a slice on top of each tortilla w/ cheese,

Scramble up 6 eggs, scoop out evenly between the tortillas.

Fold two sides in slightly and roll tight, wrap with paper towel,

place in bag, seal, label and freeze.

Egg Muffins~

Open the 6 muffins, place 1/2 slice cheese on each,

either cook up sausage patties and place on cheese,

or place a slice of canadian bacon on cheese,

Fry up an egg at a time, place on meat,

Enjoy!!!

Dinner tonight!

Me-

So with this past week going as well as it has I'm feeling up to a diet again. I know over the years I couldnt stay with it but I really need a life long eating habit change. Here I go again, this time I'm cutting out dairy (hopefully to help with my acne issues) and starch (potatoes,pastas,bread,rice). I'll mainly be on meat/veggies/fruits and I'll add in egg & beans if I feel like it. I am off soda already, but will weed out the other drinks as time goes by, I enjoy my morning coffee way to much.

Lunch yesterday~
tuna (in oil=no soy product added), msprinkled w/ seasame seeds & soy
green beans w/ salt-pepper-garlic
boiled egg w/ rice srinkles
seaweed sheets

This can be GF w/ the right soysauce, LC too since theres no rice.
So good I almost didnt miss the Jasmin Rice I normally eat this with.

Over time I know this will get easier

3 growing boys

All in one room !?!
really, can it be done?
of course it CAN but comfortably?
w/ privacy?
how about when they are all so different?
or have way to much stuff each?
what about all the gaming stuff they are to "share"



Well I did it! I fit all 3 boys in one room.

Me-a quick round up.....

....of whats been going on.
Over the past year or so I've been working on parenting classes, mindfullness, love & logic........
Well I came to finally realize its me, I need help, I feel the need to run-but cant. I look back and see that its been a few years that I've been slowly going downhill.
I called for an appt.
So the past 7 weeks I've been trying out some meds, 3 to be exact, this one seems to be it.
