Weekend August 21-23, 2009

Back to school shopping is alot harder then I thought. Everywhere we went yesterday did not have her size in the color that we need. So today we are going to try again. As far as the supply list teachers are very picky and the things they want are very hard to find. School for other kids have already started or parents knew for sure their child was going so they have been picking up things when they see it. Construction paper that is in a pack only of course we are finding just the ones that are in the pads. Thin mat that is red and blue-we found a thin mat but it was only blue and a red and blue one that was thick. I was out all day yesterday with no luck. I just hope today is better. Walgreens are out of the huggies wipes so if you find them good for you.

Biggest news my daughter got into preschool and its paid for by a grant woohoo. It will still cost alot of money for her to go to school. Uniform shirts are $16 each and the pants I didn't even look at yet. We do have a few hand me downs that will help us. She is really excited about going. Even though she says the uniforms are ugly and she doesn't want to go to school wearing that lol. Did I mention she is only 4.
Ok I tried the shrimp chow mein yesterday for lunch and it was pretty nasty. The liquid was oil and the seasoning pack was way too much. I probably should of left both of those out. The little shrimp that was in it had a sweet taste. So next time I will not buy the shrimp flavor.

Yesterday we tried this Chicken Chow Mein for lunch. I liked it. It was cheap, fast and easy to make and had a pretty good taste. If you have some left over chicken it would taste yummy in it. At walmart they are only .50 can't beat that. I will buy this one again. I also bought the shrimp flavor which I will probably try tomorrow.
Last night for dinner I made homemade tortillas. Then warmed up left over red beans and stuck that on there. It was good and filling. These tortillas are also yummy with honey. I like making things from scratch the kids enjoy it and with these I also get a work out in there mixing and then rolling out the dough. Next time I will throw everything in the bread machine to mix it. I guess I will never figure out how people make them into those nice little circles.

Tonight on Bravo channel a new season of Top Chef starts. I like this show but hate it b/c it makes me hungry lol. I try to watch it after I have already eaten and cant eat anymore. 9/8c

Monday August 17, 2009

The first day of school for most. Make sure you drive careful with all the extra traffic out there. This weekend was pretty fun. Saturday night a big group of us played a game called Banco and had a blast but I think it went on pretty late. People were yawning and trying to stay up to finish playing. Sunday I baked and washed clothes. I dug at the top of my pantry where only someone with a chair can see and I was so excited to find cocoa and what I really got up there for was brown sugar. I made homemade brownies recipe off the box, Chocolate chip cookies recipe off the bag of chocolate chips, I did take some out before I added the chocolate chips and added some baking M&M's which were on clearance at walmart for $1.75. I also baked some bread. Then I needed to sweep my kitchen floor and needed the girls out of the kitchen so I set up a tent using the kitchen table chairs and some sheets. We had fun.

Weekend August 14-16, 2009

My mom used to tell me all the time think about what your going to say before you say it. Once I told my step dad bye when he said he was leaving after an argument. I got in trouble for saying it. Sometimes people say things that they don't think effects others. When I found out I was pregnant with my second child people told me again, instead of congratulations. Then someone told me something the other day that has been eating me up. What made that person say it? Am I not a good mom? Have I asked for help alittle too much? Maybe I said something on here that I shouldn't of said.
