15 Minute Dinner


Well the scheduling hasn't really went into affect yet because we really haven't been home much. However, tonight I made a full course 15 minute dinner if that. Roast beef, taters, and cream corn. Sounds like a lot of prep and cooking. Nope, not at all. There is two roast beef that I will eat and one you can buy at aldis it is my favorite. Its about $2.99 a can and we buy four cans.  Usually I heat up on the at stove but tonight no one felt like waiting or felt good. So I cooked them for 5 mins in the microwave. Every once in a blue moon I'll make home made mash taters but usually we buy the dollar packs of instant Idahoian potatoes for Walmart for a buck. And tonight we added cream corn. So 15 minutes later we had a delicious full course meal.

Tomorrow we have a lot of cleaning to do. We still haven't went thru  all these clothes that don't fit. We are trying to organize and plan out when and what end to build and extra bedroom on to.  But if the kids participate in cleaning tomorrow we are meeting Nana in cape to get shoes and visit then if they done good at getting their room clean they get McDonalds.

Now both kids are resting peacefully and I believe myself is heading to bed. Maybe a goodnight sleep will do me good.

What is your favorite 15 minute dinner?

Scheduling?

Does anyone ever make a schedule and stick to it? I am really trying this year to do one but considering I have been nauseous since the new year and still don't know whats wrong I have slacked a lot. But I feel in weird ways it could be beneficial for my family.  With school being back in session we have been getting up at 7:15. (Good thing the school is less than a block away!!) But after I drop the kids off I come home and sit after starting laundry. But today I came home and fell asleep in the chair for 2 hours. (That's what ya get with possibly 6 hours of sleep in 2 days.) Today I didn't so much cleaning but the day before I read a thing on pinterest about doing 15-20 min runs in your house. Guess what I done that in my kitchen and it was as clean as it was the day we  moved in. I'm going to post more on this matter but my phone is going dead and I do a lot of my blogging from my phone.

I wanted to post and say I will blogging in the morning on my dream schedule. My belly hurts and I'm gonna sleep it off

More than a 24 hour bug!

Its 1:16 am on Monday January 13th( I'm sure it will be later by time I finish typing this) but late Saturday I began feeling nauseated. I chopped it off as me coming off my period [because I get bad migraines that make me sick when coming off mine.]. Well at Midnight Last night I got so sick after drinking water I threw up. That's a rare moment I hardly ever throw up even when I was pregnant with my kids.  However I have felt like crap all day. I'd get a burst of energy get up and do something then get light headedly dizzy and sick to my stomach. So pretty much been in bed off and on all day. Well I went to get my daughter from my parents after having an hour and half nap and felt great cooked supper ate and bam hits me again. Now up with my daughter I'm back being sick especially after taking a sip of water. That's right a sip. I don't think this is a 24 hour bug. And I'm praying it isn't that super stomach bug that I've been catching wind of. If I'm pregnant we will be happy but not sure I'd that's possible considering I just had a period. Ugh I'm gonna try and sneak away from my daughter who is snoring again and go to bed. I really hope later today is a lot better on me. I need to get my kids ready for school in 7 hours and go grocery shopping then pick my daughter up at 3 and finally return back to dance after month. Wish me luck!

P.S. I made it to my room now just making sure I don't have her follow me in here. I must say I've been awfully clumsy lately. I've tripped over my own feet a few times and the cup of water I was talking about earlier. Well it was actually my second cup because my first cup ended up in the floor.  Alright 6 and half hours before time to get up goodnight

Christmas came to an end, leaves the New Year to begin!

I hope everyone had an absolutely wonderful Christmas. Presents and presents followed with food and fellowship.  I know Christmas isn't about presents and I know that is Jesus birthday. In our family we celebrate his birth by giving us the opportunity to give our children not only what they want but their needs. People may say, "well that's all y'all think about is getting presents!!" No I Thank the Lord everyday for the life he's given me. I thank the good Lord for given me the oppurrunity to make my children happy!  The smiles on their faces threw all the stress and hardships we've been dealing with out the window. Even if its just for one day.
   My kids are normal kids they ask for everything that they seen on TV or in a store. And to Thank God that he provided the finances to help make it happen along with given my parents the finances to give them what they want and need as well. 
  But enough of that..Christmas for our family was quite awesome. What's even more awesome is that the New Year is beginning. That makes for a lot if resolutions to hear from everyone. But I promised myself I wouldn't necessarily make a resolution but a few goals for the new year.

My Goals:
1. I want to be a better mother. Granted that we all talk about our great mothering skills but at the end of the day we are no better than the mother standing beside us. Life in general gets to us.  By time we get the day started and kids to school (well my kid save been out quite a bit cue to weather) but by time we do that come home start the household chores, get kids from school do supper, then extra activities. Face as a mother you are wore out. The kids start geting on your nerves and your agitated ready for bed. I want to be less agitated and focused on my kids more!
2. I want to start budgeting so by next new year we are financially free.
 3. A better girlfriend I mean I'm a old girlfriend but everyone's relationship could improve. 

These are a few I'm going to really work on that also includes being a better housekeeper. I mean let's all face it we hate to clean. Lol

Hoping everyone has a wonderfully great 2014!
