WRAPPING UP THE WEEKEND

Sunday, April 11, 2010
WOW..HOW TIME REALLY FLYS. I DON'T KNOW WHERE ALL THE HOURS IN THE DAY WENT?...I EVEN GOT UP EARLY SO YOU WOULD THINK THAT WOULD BE THE CASE , BUT REALLY TIME ESCAPED ME TODAY. IT DIDN'T EVEN SEEM LIKE BABY WAS GONE THAT LONG. I GUESS WHEN YOU STAY BUSY, THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS. I WAS TRYING TO GET A COOKING BLOG FINISHED TONIGHT BUT I JUST COULDN'T FINISH IT..SO I THOUGHT I WOULD AT LEAST SHARE THE FINAL PICTURES TO SHOW YOU HOW DINNER AND DESSERT CAME OUT....HERE'S WHAT WAS ON THE MENU FOR TONIGHT.. I WANTED SOMETHING EASY THAT I COULD TOSS ALL IN THE SAME PAN, AND LET IT SLOW COOK. SO I MADE BUTTER AND THYME ROASTED CHICKEN WITH CARROTS, POTATOES, ROASTED SHALLOTS, GARLIC, AND CELERY..IT WAS DELICIOUS..SCOTT REALLY LIKED IT TOO. ON THE MENU FOR TONIGHT'S DESSERT WAS CHOCOLATE POTS DE CREME..ITS A FRENCH DESSERT THAT TRANSLATES TO " POTS OF CREME"..ITS A RICK CUSTARD TYPE OF DESSERT...IT WAS TO DIE FOR.. ONLY 6 INGREDIENTS TO MAKE THIS..SOOOO WORTH IT! SO WE ENJOYED A NICE LATE DINNER..IT WAS ALMOST 9PM WHEN WE ATE..JUST PROVING THAT SOMEHOW TODAY HAD LESS HOURS IN IT..BUT WHEN WE FINALLY ATE I THINK THE FOOD TASTED EXTRA GOOD BECAUSE WE WERE STARVING.. I AM PRETTY SURE TOMORROW I AM MAKING A NEW BANANA PUDDING RECIPE I FOUND..I WILL HOPEFULLY BE ABLE TO GET THAT POSTED IF IT TURNS OUT RIGHT..I HAVE BEEN ON A HUGE BANANA KICK THE PAST FEW MONTHS..I JUST CANT GET ENOUGH..AND I DON'T FEEL AS BAD BEING IT IS AFTER ALL HEALTHY..AT LEAST THE BANANA IS ANYWAY! I NEED HEALTHY..ALL THE LEFT OVER EASTER CANDY SITTING AROUND HERE IS SO TEMPTING. ITS HARD TO STAY OUT OF..IF I KEEP EATING IT LATE AT NIGHT, MY DENTIST WILL BE MAKING A LOT OF MONEY!! WITH THE HOURS PASSING SO FAST, THAT MEANS THE DAYS ARE ALSO PASSING FAST. BABY HAS A BIRTHDAY COMING UP ON THE 26TH...I HAVE GOT TO FIGURE OUT WHAT I AM DOING FOR HIM. I HAVE A FEW THINGS IN MIND BUT STILL WORKING OUT THE PLANS. HE IS GOING TO BE 41 THIS YEAR. I LOVE HIM BEING 7 YEARS OLDER THAN ME. HE IS SECURE AND SETTLED. HE KNOWS WHAT HE WANTS AND DOES NOT COMPROMISE. ITS A BLESSING TO HAVE HIM WALKING THROUGH THIS LIFE WITH ME. IT SURE HAS BEEN AN ADVENTURE WITH MORE LAUGHS THAN I COULD EVER IMAGINE. I FEEL I AM A LUCKY GIRL. I HAVE A LOVE AFFAIR WITH A MAN I HAVE BEEN WITH FOR MANY YEARS. EVERYTHING HAS ONLY GOT BETTER BETWEEN US. HOWS THAT FOR LOVE..WE STILL CAN ALWAYS HAVE A GREAT TIME JUST WITH EACH OTHER.. YET THAT WILL SOON END. THE KIDS WILL BE HERE FOR THE SUMMER SOON. VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT. MORE TIME WILL BE SPENT PLAYING THAN ANYTHING ELSE. I TRY TO NOT WORRY SO MUCH ABOUT THE HOUSE AND ABOUT THINGS BEING PERFECT ALL THE TIME AND JUST FOCUS ON HANGING OUT WITH MY BABIES. ITS HARD BECAUSE ITS KINDA LIKE THEY ARE OFF AT BOARDING SCHOOL. WHEN WE HAD TO RELOCATE HERE DO TO SCOTT'S JOB NEITHER OF THEM WANTED TO LEAVE THEIR SCHOOL SO I MADE A CHOICE THAT THEY COULD STAY THERE WITH THEIR FATHER. THEY HAVE VOICES AND OPINIONS. THEY WANT TO BE HEARD. SO I LISTENED AND TRIED TO NOT BE SELFISH..TO THINK OF THEM AND CONSIDER THEIR WANTS AND NEEDS TOO. PLUS IF I DID MAKE THEM MOVE, AND IT DIDN'T WORK OUT HERE FOR ANY REASON, THEY WOULD KILL ME. SO FOR RIGHT NOW, THIS IS WHAT OUR LIFE IS. I DO PTA CONFERENCES OVER SKYPE, TALK TO THE KIDS ON IT TOO, ALONG WITH MANY DAILY CALLS, EMAIL, AND SNAIL MAIL..ITS NOT EASY..BUT WE ARE MAKING IT WORK. I MISS ALL THE LITTLE DAILY MOMENTS WITH THEM, BUT WE MAKE UP FOR IT IN THE SUMMER! GUESS I BETTER FIND THAT BATHING SUIT THAT WILL HELP HIDE MY TROUBLE AREAS SO WE CAN SPEND OUR DAYS AT THE POOL AND RIVER. I CANT WAIT! I GOT SOME GOOD PICTURES OF GABBY AND GIOVANNI TODAY..HERE THEY ARE!!
A DAY IN THE LIFE....
I LOVE THIS PICTURE OF GABBY WITH THE BUBBLES AROUND IT!
THESE CATS SURE LOOK LIKE THEY HAD A PRETTY EASY DAY TODAY. GIOVANNI WAS PRETTY GOOD MOST OF THE DAY. I AM STILL HAVING SOME PROBLEMS WITH HIM WANTING TO GET OUTSIDE. HES WORSE IF THE WINDOWS ARE OPEN, BUT TODAY HE WAS PRETTY QUITE. AT LEAST TILL THE LATE EVENING! THEY BOTH HAVE SUCH PERSONALITIES. THEY HAVE REALLY MOLDED THEMSELVES INTO THE HEART OF OUR FAMILY. LITTLE GABBY IS JUST ONE OF THE CUTEST KITTENS I HAVE EVER SEEN. ITS NOT JUST THAT PRECIOUS LITTLE FACE, BUT HER ATTITUDE AND DEMEANOR IS AS OUT GOING AS CAN BE. SHES ONE OF A KIND...AS IS GIOVANNI.. WELL GOING TO RELAX IN A HOT BATH BEFORE SNUGGLING UP IN THE BED. HOPE ALL MY FRIENDS HAD A GREAT WEEKEND! K JAGGERS ♥
