Sleep At Last!

Wow...it's amazing how ya feel after getting a really good night of sleep. And of course follow it up with some morning java. Despite the overcast morn' I am feeling pretty good....for now. WARNING!!!! Mood subject to change without warning! lol

I made a pretty amazing meal on Sunday night at work (if i do say so myself). I sauteed (sp?) chicken in seasoned olive oil, added steamed broccoli and cauliflower and placed it atop a bed of pesto laced fettuccine. Yum!

I am into coming up with inexpensive meal ideas since I am now supporting 2 boys on my meager salary. Their favorite is something similar to the above concoction, but with ramen noodles and sugar snap pea stir fry. Inexpensive AND healthy! I have decided to become a ramen noodle connoisseur. lol How can you go wrong with a product that costs 10 cents!?!?!? Do you have inexpensive meal ideas? Please share!

A Break In The Action

For 90 days we are in transition (and I am sure there is more drama to come...there always is). We were awarded our divorce, I get my maiden name back but we still have some issues on the table....mostly custody which was not something we were truly fighting about. Due to some unwise choices by "him," the judge has awarded me sole physical custody with the minimum visitation. What a change to our lives. I am hopeful that during this time the right choices for our kids can be made by "him" and we can get back to our original plan for the kids.

Things That Don't Suck

*Karma

*Baking peanut butter cookies with Scotty

*Waking up to the sound of the laughter of my children

*My dad and his help with some "man-stuff" around the homestead...lol I just don't get the whole wall anchor thingies.

*Storage units....gotta move some o' the clutter!

*Wii cow racing & bowling....funfunfun!
