If you cant stand the heat... Wear gloves when cutting the jalapeno's!

Tonight I thought I would make the kids happy and do chips with cheese dip for dinner. The Rotel and Velveeta thing. You know. If you dont:

1 Block Velveeta (I used 2% kind, this of course made it "healthy" heh)
1 pound lean ground beef (lean!)
1 can rotel tomatoes

yeah that is it. Cook your meat, add your cheese and tomatoes then melt. Dip chips into this lovely mess and call it a meal if you want to. Its okay if its just now and then!

So with this dip I felt we needed more. So I did my friend Pams infamous recipe of "stuffed jalapenos" MMMM. Love them dang things. The part I do not love is that night, the burning sensation I get after my shower... When I realize its the jalapenos I cut up earlier. Never fails I do not think about it while cutting the puppies up or waiting for them to bake. I don't even give it a second thought while eating the yummy guys... Its not until later that night, a hot bath or shower, when the burn sets in. Strange right? At least this time I did not touch my eyes!

Ahh a fresh new week.

It is Monday. Daylight savings gave me this extra hour of sleep and a bright sunny morning to wake up to. The weekend is behind me now along with that UNGODLY busy week. My best friend is home from her camping trip, I have learned how to use, and LOVE my new phone... All feels right with the world! Over the weekend Destiny was gone. It was kind of quiet around here, but Promise made sure to make up for the crankiness and teenager (esq) that might be lacking in the household. Thank you Promise. Your just too kind. Rooster boy came and stayed the night. Not sure why but my son always has these strange thoughts he thinks are good ideas when rooster boy stays... Not saying its rooster boy, my son even admitted it was his own idea, I just think when boys get together, they lose all ability to ration out what is a good and what is a bad idea. So what was the bright idea this weekend? To "splatter paint" A bowling pin . I guess I should be happy, that at least ...

Time Flies

A year ago today my best friend gave birth to her second little boy. TWO years ago tomorrow my first granddaughter was born. Both seem like yesterday, but also so long ago. Two years in a row almost on the same day I got to watch the miracle of life happen... I have done it myself four times, but it never ceases to amaze me. To watch it is just amazing that our body does that. GROWS someone in side of us and then gets that someone OUT. Just amazing. Life is stressing me out right now however, I am trying to take this weekend to just tune out anything and everything that is getting to me, just have fun, go to birthday parties, eat cake and not worrry. Not worry about bills or calories or my steps (I even took my fit bit off) Just be me, just enjoy what there is in life to enjoy. My amazing friends, and my crazy family and the hot summer weather.

Tea Party Time

Today was the school mother daughter tea party. I took miss Hannah Bear. She had a good time. A few of her friends were there. They got to get their nails painted, some make up on... There was a stack of dresses to try on and then model on a "runway" oh and of course some tea and snacks! (my favorite part of course) The kids school had a scare today. It was locked down and police were called after a man was seen just wondering around the playground at recess time. Again it makes me SO glad they go to a small school where teachers know parents and know when someone who does not belong, is there. No one was hurt, and the man just walked off when a teacher asked him his reasons for being there... Scary anyway. This week has been slower than the last, for that I am thankful. I am still busy don't get me wrong, but I am able to keep my head above water with just a minimal tread. Not having to do the backstroke all week is nice! It is nearly "my time" S...
