Project woman

The morning had me dragging myself out of bed, half stumbling, and throwing a sweater on to go down and make breakfast. Wednesdays are good and bad. Good because Krischan gets on the bus at 9:40 instead of 8:40, bad because Krischan gets on the bus at 9:40 instead of 8:40. You get my point.

I took one look at the living room as we were waiting for the bus and I started grumbling immediately. Always a mess, toys everywhere...so on and so forth. That is when I made the decision. I would put on my project woman cape and start a project that entailed all of the toys removing themselves from the downstairs and relocating into the child's room of ownership.

I put together my Arbonne energy fizz drink for that extra boost I would need and went to work. First task: Gather all the toys.


This was about a 1/4 of the toys I gathered and took upstairs. I swear they reproduce, so for every toy I grabbed, about 2 went into a bag for adoption.
Finally, after many trips up the stairs and the cleaning of a very messy boys room, all the toys are now in their place where they belong. Kadence loves that her toys are in her room now. Her and Jakob played tea a lot today.


Then, Second task: I felt like I was on a roll so I tried attempt #856 of my ooey gooey brownie recipe. Ok, attempt 4, but 856 sounds so much better.


I need to cut the caramel in half and the marshmallow fluff works great. (Thanks Denise! She is the brownie woman, as soon as she gets her blog up I will let you know. You will be in brownie heaven.)

Third task: Hang up the mirrors my mother made for the kids. Mirrors are always good entertainment. It was fun to watch the two of them fight over who got to look at themselves. Although I did have to keep putting it back up on the wall...


Then at dinner, adventure hit. I may have burned the rice to a complete crisp, but the roasted brussel sprouts came out divine! So yummy. And yes, the kids do love them. I found the recipe in everyday food, martha of course.


I think this is the most I have ever completed in one day. Project woman strikes again! or should I say that I hope project woman comes back again...real soon...

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.

who does the world revolve around?

Mornings can be very interesting. This morning did not disappoint. Jakob and Kadence wanted apple juice for breakfast instead of milk. Rick didn't want to give them apple juice because he felt that was just weird. He wouldn't drink apple juice for breakfast, so why should they. I laughed and told him that this isn't Rick's world and it doesn't revolve around him. "what!?" Rick turns to Jakob and asks: "Jakob, does the world revolve around me?" "No." was Jakobs reply. So Rick decided to ask him who the world revolved around. I was minding my own business making my breakfast when I heard Jakob say "mommy." Let me tell you, that is one smart little kid.

My dishwasher died.

A couple of weeks ago our dishwasher was a loud raucous annoyance. It didn't used to be, it was one of those "quiet" dishwashers. Well, we use it so much I think we kind of slowly started killing it. It got louder and louder as the years passed, till it was at the point it was a couple of weeks ago. I am not kidding. It was so loud I would only run it when I was leaving the house. You couldn't even watch a movie because it would over power the movie. Then one day, we noticed it was back in it's quiet mode. Dishes looked clean, and they were...for a week. Yesterday I opened the dishwasher to put the dishes away and noticed they weren't even close to clean. There was a big pile of detergent just sitting on the bottom of the washer. Doesn't the soap know that it needs to get up into the dishwasher to clean? So this is my thought. Screw calling someone to fix it. We know that story, it costs just as much to fix it than to buy a new one. I say we buy two ...
