Dollar Tree Decor

So far today I have managed to make Valentine's day cups for the kiddies and St Patrick's Day decor. Now I have to clean up the house and get ready for my Valentine's day lunch date with hubby!!!!

Mama's Love Mondays!!!

     

It's only 11am and I have accomplished, showering, makeup, hair and nails as well as made myself a nice little chicken salad since I skipped breakfast. Its time for this mamma to relax since I spent all day yesterday cleaning the house top to bottom. Now I can sneak in some episodes of Criminal Minds on Netflix until I dive into meetings the rest of the day. Why I scheduled 3 meetings in one day, I have no idea. Glad my Dentist appointments got rescheduled this  morning or that would have been one long day. Trying to decide what to do for the kiddos for Valentines Day tomorrow. HUbby wants to go on a lunch date. Well, that's all I have for now. Have a blessed day everyone. ~K~

Ham BBQ Dinner!! Tru Pittsburgh Meal!!!

Yummy!!!  I can smell the Ham BBQ cooking. Almost time to eat. Classic Deli ham and BBQ mixture to boot. All done up in the crock to enjoy on a savory and Carb loaded bun, which I shouldnt be eating but who's counting, right!!!! Side of cajun season fries and buttered corn on the cob.....I am making myself hungry just thinking of it.

Crab Alfredo for Dinner!!!!!

So yesterday was a pretty busy day for me. It seems I always have to rush even with immense planning, Kids had a 2 hour delay because of the snow and it was -1 degree. Gotta love it, right? NOT, I hate snow. Makes me miss the beach. Warm sun, Sand  in my toes and the crashing of the waves.....I can hear it sometimes when I close my eyes. It was very therapeutic. In the midst of this 2 hr delay I also had a Dr appt. All went well but the hardest part is that all 3 kids go to different schools and have different pick up times. Non the less, we got it done. I went grocery shopping and got ingredients for dinner. Man was it good. Bow tie pasta with homemade Alfredo sauce, Crab and spinach.....It was amazing! Kids gobbled it up! I always love when I can incorporate a food like spinach into a meal. It works best in a sauce and the kids cant even tell its in there but they get to eat such an amazing veggie that they would otherwise not eat. Today I have nothing to do....some moderate house work but that's nothing and then its R&R before the weekend hits and the kiddos are back to running around like crazeees!!

Day 2 of Peace!!!

     It's been a smooth sailing morning. I have accomplished reorganizing my hoarded file cabinet. Spent some time dwelling on old pics and papers of the kids that I had packed away. Realizing I truly have an issue with throwing papers away. Made myself a small little breakfast that I enjoyed in silence which is always nice since it has been a rare treat for me in the last 5 months. 
      I made a grocery list for the week and even managed to shower with no interruptions. That's a plus because with 3 kids no matter what age they are, it seems someone always wants something at the exact moment the water gets to the perfect temp. Paid some bills, which is a not so fun necessity that I am sure everyone can relate to. I still have to fold laundry, vacuum, sweep and mop before I start making dinner. I can't wait; juicy BBQ ribs with garlic butter green beans, cheddar biscuits and mac and cheese, that I will be trying to avoid to keep me my CARBS down for the day. Perks of being diabetic. Can't eat the fun stuff!!!!!! 
     I still haven't managed to make it to Comcast to return cable equipment but I need to do this ASAP because I have recently switched to Netflix and Hulu which are so much more cost efficient, and I get better quality of service. Can't beat that. It will save me about 130.00 a month. Hubby is out driving for Uber so I have the house all to myself. It gets really quiet here during the day which is amazing but also strange. When you are used to the noise of kids running around all day the silence can be a little ominous. Well, thats my day so far and its only 11 am. I might be back to chat later. 

Have a blessed day. ~K~ 

7 am and I am anxiously awaiting for my sons bus. Its his first day back to school after homeschooling since October. He isnt thrilled to be up this early but Mamma cant wait. I think it will be good for him. I cant imagine its to fun for him as a 10 year old boy to be spending his days with his Mom. Praying he has a good day and makes some new friends. I know he will. Once he gets past being nervous he will enjoy himself. On a lighter note I plan on doing absolutely nothing today. Except going to return cable boxes. I have recently decided to not keep my cable and just subscribe to Hulu and Netflix. Cable is way to pricey and mine hardly works. I am always having issues with it freezing, I am gonna save myself over 100 dollars a month by eliminating it. Well, hope everyone has a blessed day. ~K~

Okay, so I am at it again. Trying to make a go of the whole blog thing. I am still not totally convinced anyone is going to care what I have to say, but I guess its worth a shot. I will have some extra time on my hands since my youngest heads back to school tomorrow. He has been homeschooling with me since October and while I love my child. Mamma needs a vacay!!!! Can't wait to sip my morning coffee in the warm sun on my porch all by my lonesome in peace. I will have to make sure I keep the news off while doing this because here lately I have been stressing myself out while trying to relax and watch CNN. those two things can not be done at the same time. It's just impossible. These days the news is STRESS!!!! Period!!! Anyway, I wont get on a political rant today. I just wanted to check in and say that I am back. If you have any questions or requests, let me know and I will try to touch on the topic you have interest in. I will try to check in later. Have a blessed day!!!! ~K~
