It is like a taste of summer

Friday and Saturday were rainy, Sunday came and there was snow on the ground. Spring, where are you?

This morning we woke up, jakob is sick so he is a number ten on the crank scale.
Kadence is sick and her crank scale is at 10 also. Good thing they both slept in and I was able to get Krischan ready for school and out the door first.

To top it off I have a sinus infection that is giving me a killer headache so my crank scale is up there also. What a match we three are this morning. So between the screaming and crying I decide to have a Martha moment and look for my favorite dessert that tastes like summer:


I love this app, it was only 99c and it is the Martha Everyday Food app. I know, shoe string budget and I have an iPhone. But I have this wonderful husband who can't help but get me the things I really want. Haven't gotten that new GMC Acadia though...Suze Orman would probably tell me to go crawl back in the womb and start over again because she would deny every part of my life that causes me to have to buy anything. (but I bought the app with Ricks gift card.)

So, back to the taste of summer. Amist the crying and tantrums I was able to whip up the crust, mmm, the cookie part of this confection.


In between making lunch and getting the two cranky kids fed I whipped up the lemon topping and bake it.


It says you need to let it cool then let it set in the fridge for 2 hours and up to 3 days. Who has that kind of time. If I bake something I want it now. Who was the crazy nut that came up with that recipe? I just let it cool enough to cut into it.


I was wisked away to a sunny day in the summer, breeze blowing, the smell of fresh cut grass clinging to the air.


Yum. Now I can go back to my cranky two sick kids and pray they take a nap.

Musings over a weekend

The weather was beautiful, got to go out on a date with my husband, and got in my garden for some therapy. How much more perfect can a weekend get. On weekends like this my mind wanders (ok it always wanders) and I have specific thoughts that sometimes stick out like neon lights. Musing #1 I can not wait till the day where the only butt I have to wipe, is my own. Musing #2 In three weeks, if it is meant to be...we will have a new family member. (baby puppy..said in the most baby of voices...EVER!) Musing #3 If I had the money, I would hire Martha Stewart to organize my home from the basement on up. (She would be horrified by my current state of organization.) Musing #4 Amazing, I take my husband to a healthy restaurant, and he finds the most unhealthy thing to eat. Musing #5 I am going to wake up at 6:30 so I can get ready for the day, make my cup of coffee, and then go out and watch the sunrise. (that one is pretty funny. I can't remember the last time I actually ...

is anyone out there?

It has been so long since I blogged. So much so that I let my domain expire and it isn't easy to reinstate it…things become more complicated with technology sometimes you just give up. And that is what I am doing now on the domain, giving up and I hope that I can get my monday back. I will be back here.
I had to share this post from Facebook by my cousin Bailey. His words ring very true, and I stand by them. I feel as a society we need to move forward and not backward. Learning to accept everyone for who they are and not forcing everyone into what we feel they should be. Bailey's post: Just in case the Georgetown Times doesn't post my response... Mr. Brock, Your recent opinion article on the topic of same-sex marriages saddened me. Not only as a gay man, but as a forward thinking American citizen, I whole-heartedly disagree with you on your views. No matter what kind of intentions President Obama had for announcing his support of same sex marriage, he will be relieved one day when he finds his beliefs to be on the right side of history. You say, “The biological premise of the joining of one man and one woman is propagation of the species.” If that’s true, why should elderly people be allowed to get married? Or heterosexual couples who can’t conceive children? Should th...
