No cooking = no posting

The blog has been largely silent lately. I've had a lot going on this month.

The kids kept getting sick, I still have school, I'm freelancing, and the kitchen is being remodeled.

On top of all that the kids went to Texas for two weeks. It has been a roller coaster around here. Instead of staying home and missing the kids I decided to pack up my office (read laptop and day planner) and take a working vacation to NYC and Nashville.

Over all I had a lot of fun and got more work done than I probably would have if I were surrounded by the kids' stuff while they were visiting their dad.

Now I'm at home, the kitchen still isn't done, and the kids come home tonight. I'm really excited. I talked to them nearly every day, but I missed them like crazy and can't wait to settle back into normal life.

Now for some photos from the day I spent at Jersey Shore!

Not Me! Monday

Earlier this week my daughter started running a fever in the middle of the night, being the wonderful mother that I am, I would never dream of hiding the meds in some pudding. Nor would I ever eat ALL the left over pudding, thus forcing me to make another batch up for her. Twice . This weekend while my kids were visiting their uncle (who is on leave from Afganistan) I certainly did not go out to eat after church with two families who had all their kids in tow. Furthermore, I was not ridiculously excited when I found out that we were going to Old Country Buffet and that OCB now had a slushie machine. I certainly would never eat a ton of food and then stuff myself even more simply b/c the cake on the dessert bar looked amazing. Additionally, I did not toy with the idea of going back to get a mousse that looked really good despite the fact that I was ready to burst. After eating I did not volunteer to walk the two boys over to guitar center so that the three of us wouldn
