Oh yeah? well try this...

Have you ever sit and watched television and seen some of the crazy inventions people come up with? Well, I do. I see it and then I say and always out loud "Dang, I could have come up with something like that." Then reality hits and I think, no I couldn't, and I get mad thinking how rich the people that were actually smart enough to invent something will get. Getting rich all because of people like me that just gotta have one cause we are mad that we didn't come up with the idea!

Tried cooking Chicken and Noodles for the very first time in my life tonight. I am 40 years old now and I am just trying to make that. What is wrong with me? I say trying - but it turned out pretty well. Daughter A got seconds as well as the hub. Daughter R was upset I put onions in it, and Daughter K had a peanut butter sandwich for dinner. Supposedly, she doesn't like chicken and noodles. News to me, but how do I know since I never have cooked them?!
Every time I start a new cooking adventure, I call my mom. She is a terrific cook and makes me feel really stupid sometimes when I call. But she generously shares her recipes with me, so THANKS mom. The chicken mush turned out good

What's next? I feel like I should make resolutions to try something new at least once a week. Like trying to play the guitar, or sewing, or heck even riding a horse. bahahahahahaha who am I kidding? WHY would I want to ride a horse? I will leave that one to the kids.

My oldest has been trying to teach herself (and watch youtube videos to learn) how to play the guitar. Things are going so well. lol. She sounds a lot like Phoebe from friends. For those of you who don't know, she strums her guitar, sings (haha) a line, then strums her guitar again. She makes a pretty good Phoebe. :) Love ya kiddo!

Well, I am going to hop off here and try something else new - like maybe folding some laundry.

Life rocks!

Family

Love the holidays, gives me time to really spend some good time with family! My kiddos especially. We have had some real fun, without spending very much mulah!! Which is good because when you don't have it, you can't spend it right?

My little K is growing so much! She is really starting to come into her own personality, instead of just being little sister or the baby of the family, she is becoming her own person. It is so cool to see your children grow up...

My R is recovering from a broken bone. She broke her Ischial bone. Don't know where that is at??? It is the bone that connects your hamstring to your pelvic bone. About six weeks ago, she was goofing around in the gym after school and pulled her hamstring so badly, that she broke the ischial bone off of her pelvic. OUCH is right. So for the last 6 weeks my teenager has been in either a wheelchair, or on crutches. :) Finally today at the doctor, they cleared her to start walking again. we go back soon to be released, so we are counting the days!

A is on the fence about returning to the college that she has been attending (and playing bball at) for the last year and a half. She really hasn't been happy there this year, so I am not going to push her back to somewhere she isn't happy, but I do want her to start making some grown up decisions and start acting like a grown up! Hard to make that last push ... but I am learning.

I love all three of my beautiful girls and it saddens me when they are hurt, or sad...I want to fix everything for them. I was told that I am the one really hurting them, by doing just that. So I am starting to restrain myself from being the crutch. That is one of my new years resolutions.

My sisters were both at my house over the holidays, with their families! We had such a great time! We are all so different, but still very close. Went shopping with my older sister and my two youngest and while we (me and my sister) sit up front and argued about traffic and the easiest way to get somewhere, I saw my girls sitting back there just shaking their heads...So I turned and just informed them, that even in your 40's you will still argue with your sister, but it doesn't change your relationship or how much you love them.

My mom and dad also made the trek down to the house that day too! The older they get the cuter they are...So blessed to still have my parents with me.

My hub for the first time in years, took vacation the week of Christmas. He was going to work on projects - but ended up just kinda kickin it with his family, and being under my feet. About drove me crazy!!!!!!!!! lol He was going to take the week after Christmas too, but I told him that we would either be divorced or one of us would kill the other (j/k people relax!) before our next anniversary - which is January 3rd. Needless to say he has been going to work every day this week. :) Aww the power of words!

It's getting late. Been up working on TWITTER account of all things. I am getting so social networked it isn't even funny.

Off to sleep .... zZZZZZzzzzzZZZZZZZZ
