SO WHAT! Wednesday

This week, I am linking up with Shannon over at Life After I Dew for SO WHAT! Wednesday. Please go check out her blog! Thanks. :)

This week I am saying SO WHAT! if:

• One day, I am running around like a chicken with my head cut off cleaning while JR sleeps. Then yesterday, I just wanted to read duing his nap.
• I have an idea of what needs to be done around the house when I get up; however, I would just rather sit on the floor and watch cartoons with JR sometimes.
• I have A LOT of books in my "To Be Read" pile, but I always go buy more.
• My son has a farmer's tan. :)
• I haven't been to the tanning bed in over two months. My natural color of pale is coming back. Damn.
• My husband and I know each other so well it's scary.

There is just some of my SO WHAT!s for the week. What are y'all saying SO WHAT! to?

Happy 1st Day of Summer! :)

I'm Baaack!

Hello again!

A couple of weeks ago, a good friend of mine said that she missed me blogging. To be honest, I missed it, too!

There has been A LOT of things going on in our family lately that have made it hard to blog. A lot has been on my mind other than blogging. Sad but true.

Here are just some of the things that have been occupying my mind:

1. About a month ago, my husband was told at his work that by the end of the year he will likely be without a job.
2. After 15 months of being a stay at home mother, I am looking for a job. It is hard to find a job when nobody is hiring or they want two years experience. GR!
3. Finding a daycare that is good enough I like is harder than I thought.
4. There has been a lot a tension in the house. :(
5. In order for my husband to keep his job through the company where he is now, there is a possibility that we might have to move. To another state.

As you can see, I have been stressed. My husband has been beyond stressed. But no matter how stressed we get or if we fight, our son makes everything disappear just by being himself!

I hope y'all are still out there. I have missed you.

Katherine

P.S. - I think I am going to start a tradition on here. Every Tuesday will be Tuesday Truths from now on. :) Have a great day!

Currently

Why, Hello! It has been two weeks since the last time I blogged, and I am sorry. There was this little thing called, Life that took over for alittle while. I'm sure you have heard of it! :)

There are A LOT of fabulous blogs in the "Blog World"; however, I have my favorites! Call me bias. I don't care. One of my favorites is Shannon over at Life After I "Dew" . She posted a "Lately" blog, today. It is about all the things she is doing now. I liked the idea SO much that I stole borrowed the idea!

Currently: Music

I am LOVING this station, right now! They play all the hits from now and then. Yes, I love country music. To be honest, I believe it is the best genre. Whatever mood you are in, it has a song for it. :)

TV

This is one of my all time favorite tv shows! I'm so happy that Bones and Booth are finally together and have baby Christine. It just brings so much more to the show. :)

Reading

This is the fourth book in her series, and I absolutely love it! The main character is such a smart ass. Kinda like me! :)

These are just acouple of things that I am currently doing. I hope everyone has a Fabulous Friday!

SO WHAT! Wednesday

This week, I am linking up with Shannon over at Life After I "Dew" again. If you haven't checked out her blog yet, please do. She is very straight forward and funny! :)

This week I am saying SO WHAT! if:

• I'm already thinking about what to put in JR's Easter basket, next year.
• I want the warm weather back . . BAD! It's supposed to be 36 degrees here, tonight. Thirty six!
• JR has been a drinking juice and eating toddler!
• Going to the tanning bed is a great relaxation. Getting a tan while relaxing . . what could be better?
• As soon as I get done exercising, I take a shower. Can't stand to be all hot and sweaty!

What is everyone saying SO WHAT! to, this week?

Have a Wonderful Wednesday!

Sloppy Joes

Courtesy of Food.com

I hope everyone had a Happy Easter! We had a fun filled weekend here at our house. :) Last night, I  wanted something quick and easy to make because the hubby called to say that he didn't have class, and he was on his way home. :o

So, I found this recipe for Sloppy Joes over at Food.com. I was surprised at how good these were. They tasted almost like the canned sloppy joes which I won't be buying anymore now! The hubby and son LOVED them, too!

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 2 stalks celery, chopped
• ( I added 1 carrot, grated )
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 1/4 cup barbecue sauce (your favorite)
• 1 tablespoon firmly packed brown sugar ( I didn't use brown sugar )
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard ( I used regular yellow mustard )
• salt and pepper
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon vinegar ( Optional )

Directions:

1. In a large skillet, brown ground beef, celery and onion.
2. Drain the fat.
3. Stir in remaining ingredients, simmer covered for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. If Sloppy Joes appear to be loose, leave cover off and let moisture evaporate.
5. Cook until it's the consistency you like for serving.
 

Here is JR at our Easter egg hunt. :)

Have a Terrific Tuesday!

SO WHAT! Wednesday

Today, I am linking up with Shannon over at Life After I "Dew" for SO WHAT! Wednesday. Please go check her blog out! Thanks. :)

This week I am saying SO WHAT! if:

• I worked out yesterday, and I am SORE.
• I ate a slice of cheesecake today because it has just been one of those days.
• JR has decided that he doesn't want to take but ONE nap a day, now. This makes for an ILL boy come late afternoon / night.
• I didn't want ANY interruptions Monday night because I was watching Bones. Didn't happen.
• We didn't take JR to get a picture with the Easter bunny, this year.
• I look forward to reading. It's MY alone time.
• I played a good April Fool's joke on my hubby. Apparently after getting sick two times is the PERFECT way to try a "Surprise! We are pregnant!" joke. He didn't think it was funny, though. LOL! ( Btw, I am NOT pregnant. I just ate something that didn't agree with me. )

So, what are y'all saying SO WHAT! to, this week??

Have a Wonderful Wednesday!
