In sickness and in health...but mostly sickness

Woke up with a sick 4 year old (102 temp but chasing the dog and punching his brother) and decided that my pounding head and feeling of dizziness might be a little more (101 temp- YAY! Not.) I am not chasing the dog or punching my brother, but I feel like blah...& it  is true that moms just can NOT be sick. I still have to help someone wipe their butt, make sure teeth are brushed, get one off to school, make breakfast/lunch/dinner/snacks for both boys and the chief as well as take care of the zoo of animals. I want to call in sick, but who do I call into? It's called "living in suck it up ville" but wanting to make a u-turn onto "nice comfy bed with no children in the peace and quiet lane with a big cuppa coffay". Waaaa waaaa waaaaaa.

Cabbage Salad...Yummy Yummy

Chopped Raw Cabbage- about 2 cups (I used Green, but you can use any kind of Cabbage)
Sliced Red Delicious Apple (my preference)- big ol' Apple- no little sissy fruits for me
Half Cucumber peeled and sliced
Sliced Carrots (bout a handful)
1/2 cup Veganaise (found in Whole foods or in the Vegan/Organic section of the grocery store)

Add everything in a big ol' bowl and use something to toss it all together so the Veganaise mixes well (I used tongs) Made enough for two big salads!

Eat and be happy  :^)

Vegan anyone?

So yeah- haven't "blogged" in like forever because, well, life happens, and happened. I am trying to get back into it. I think its healthy for me to "write" and it saves my children from Mommy Dearest rantings if mommy has a creative outlet  ;^)


So after being diagnosed with the big "C" in November...had a complete shock to reality. I had to change, a lot if I wanted to be around to embarrass my grandchildren someday. My doctor suggested (okay- suggested is a VERY nice way of saying you MUST do this) I go Vegetarian. This to a woman that knows every Mcdonald's and Burger King jingle. To quote my friends in mommyland....whuck?? How in the world would I give up my need and desire for meat? Fortunately for me, this was not just to lose weight, which I could totally say I would do then cheat like crazy...everyone likes a fatty- right?? Nope- this was for my health, or more pointedly, for my LIFE. I started out on day one and thought "this isn't so bad- I think I can do this". I am on my second full week and I tell ya, I am doing it and LOVING it. I have been trying really really hard to go completely Vegan, and that has been hard because I am a Cheese-a-holic. I seriously need a 12 step Cheese program. "My name is Jennifer, and I am a Cheese-a-holic. It's been 20 minutes since my last cube of Cheddar." Luckily I have found some really good recipes and made my own creations that are not only tasty, but filling and good for me. I have lost seven pounds so far and I feel like I have more energy. My lunch today is what I call "Cabbage Salad...yummy yummy" (my fellow parents will now have the Wiggles fruit salad song stuck in your head- and your welcome) I will post my recipes if anyone wants to see them or even **GASP** try them for themselves. Signing off...for now.....the queen bee

WVU Mountaineers

Does anyone know where I can get ahold of WVU Football tickets? Any home game, face value, 2 seats together...trying to arrange a football weekend for Jesse and I....appreciate any help friends  ;^)

Things you never thought you would say...or implement

One of my girlfriends recently shared a link with me and it was all about Mom's and the crazy rules they have in their homes for their kids. I was laughing out loud SO hard because I guess I thought I was the only one with "odd" or "weird" rules. Here is just a sampling of some of our "rules":

1. Noone is allowed to sing songs about their Butt or talk about it in public
2. Noone is allowed to show their Butt in public, and if you do it at home, it better be going Potty, getting dressed, or taking a Bath, not dancing around shaking it and singing about it (hence rule number 1)
3. The only thing you are allowed to stick in your Nose is your Elbow
4. We do not smell our Feet or ask others to smell them
5. No Toys are allowed to swim in the Toilet at anytime
6. If you act up and have more than one time out in a day, you must go to Walmart and dance out front (not really- but the threat works wonderfully)


That's all I can think of right now, but fortunately, as a Mom, I can and will come up with anymore that I see fit as the days progress  ;^)

Peace
