Is there ANYTHING I cannot do?

So add marshmallow making to my list of things I am capable of! I love marshmallows. Peeps are my joy. No seriously, I was SO thrilled when they started making peeps for occasions other than Easter. Now I can enjoy peeps nearly year round!

 So the other day I was looking at the blogs I often look at http://budgetbytes.blogspot.com/2010/12/peppermint-marshmallows-258-recipe-022.html  She made peppermint marshmallows and of course, I went right out to get the things I needed to make it. Only Geletine, and corn syrup (mine expired in 06, apparently) Everything else, I had on hand.

 After making I bragged around here and there, and heard a few people say they thought marshmallows were hard to make, or that they couldn't make them. I got nervous, but when I pulled mine from the pan, they were set! A bit softer than store bought but set none the less. Tasted good, really pepperminty. I can't wait to try different flavors! Bailey wants to do a "rocky road" he said, and I am TOTALLY game!

 So I cut up my marshmallows and as the recipe states, I mixed corn starch, and powder sugar together and then sprinkled it over the yummy treats... Went to eat one and it tasted salty??? Yeah, the corn starch my husband bought is in a can... The exact same size can as my baking powder is in... Can you guess what I put on my marshmallows instead of cornstarch?

 Cornstarch, good for marshmallows and butts ( lol bailey ) Baking powder, not so good for butts, OR marshmallows. Bummer.


 
So is there anything I cannot do? Apparently, I cannot read cans. Oh and I can also not eat the marshmallows. Baking powder and marshmallows do not mix. That was what I learned today.

Its not always 50/50

 Sometimes one person has to hold up more weight than the other does. Lately I feel as though I am that person holding the extra weight. Lately I have been wishing I was not that person. I feel like I am being spread a bit too thin... I also feel like no matter how many times I try to explain myself, it does not matter.  So I will just keep waiting, and hopefully eventually someone will come and take a few books off of my stack. Take a load off. Help me out. Chip in. You get it? I am sure you do. Now if only other people did as well.  God doesnt give you more than you can handle. I wonder sometimes if He thinks the load he's giving me is being more evenly distributed than it is... Maybe he can review my case :)

8 years at the same job!

 I will say this about my work. No matter what is said, word gets around. Words also get twisted and changed, and rumors fly like well I don't know kites? I think co-workers are like a second family, not like to the point where you want to invite them over for Thanksgiving dinner... More like your around them enough that you are more than likely to have seen a bad side of them, and learned some annoyances. Chances are they were grumpy or depressed or pissed at some point and you have seen them at their worst. I think that makes it easier to get under each others skin and become annoyed. You get annoyed, you get over it, you move on. Your still co workers and you still get through. Like family, there are spats, you get over it move on and after it all your still family.  So do I always love my co workers or getting up early, or when someone is rude to me, or when I don't make any money... OF COURSE NOT. I have good days and I have bad days. Today it was raining, I would have ...

Done Growing

 Well soon enough it will be the start of a new school year. Sooner for my younger two, than for my older two. So today we went to get a few things that will be needed. Some shoes, socks and backpacks. Mommy needed a new pair of shoes too, I wear mine out pretty quickly being on my feet as a waitress.  So my son is about the pickiest shoe person out there. Nothing fits. We have to try on like every.single.shoe. in his size before he can choose. Its irritating and stressful. Hannah was pretty easy although she did not take the cheaper "on sale" pair I liked best. Either way she was quick and painless.  So then mom's turn. I put on a pair of 6.5 I wear those or 7's depending on the shoe. I wanted to try those new shoes with the curved bottom. Anyway... I get the 6.5 on and Hannah feels for my toes. "Oh you better get a size bigger" She says. "Those wont last the whole school year!" I told her I did not have to worry about outgrowing my shoes. My ...
