make it go away!

… the necessity of grocery shopping that is.

i cannot tell you how much i DON’T want to go grocery shopping right now.  i need to.  we will have nothing for dinner if i don’t, but i really REALLY don’t want to do it.  it should be done by now. it should have been done yesterday.  but it’s not.  why?  because of stupid mid-winter break!  i have this routine.  i make my menu plan and grocery list on sunday.  then on monday morning, i drop shane at his 9:00 class, and the little kids and i run to safeway before we have to pick him up at 9:50.  we’re already out, we have to get everyone buckled into carseats anyway, so we may as well get it over with.  it’s really not bad.  well, there was no class yesterday and therefore, shopping didn’t happen.  grrr.  we managed last night by shuffling the menu around and fixing sunday’s dinner.  as it was, i had to have dave bail me out and stop at the store for eggs, since i only had 5 in the carton.  but it was a good dinner, everyone enjoyed it and i got out of shopping for one more day.  i don’t think i’ve got another rabbit to pull out of my hat for today.

    My Rabbit in the hat is Orange Chicken from Costco, rice (brown if I think ahead) and a frozen veggie (normally broccoli)...everyone loves it so I don't feel so lazy! ;)

    Can I just say that I feel your pain? I haven't been to the grocery store in a few days either. Our rabbit last night was that the kids got McDonald's gift cards for V-day.

a tribute to layla

    i love my daughter. i really do. if i had only 3 words with which to describe her, it would be “full of life”. and she really, really is. she is someone who wants to experience all that life has to offer. i love the age she is too. her excitement about things is always contagious and her ideas hilarious and creative. she’s one of those kids who can’t just paint the paper, and whatever the rules for the game happen to be, they’re too boring and she’s going to play it her own way, darnit!                      there are a few things that come with this fabulous age, however, that i could easily do without. the screaming fit she had today, for example, over a graham cracker. she had the intention of giving it to micah, and broke it in half, even though, the whole time she was doing it, i was telling her NOT to give one to micah because he was having his lunch. i...

another sign

i'm going to have to take more pictures soon, i'm running out. christmas movies! yes, one of them is a bob the builder movie, but the kids deserve to get in on the festivities too, right?  we also have the polar express , but i'm not sure where that was when i was taking the pictures. and a charlie brown christmas , but that's on vhs and our vcr broke, so it will have to be replaced.  i want to just keep building our collection each year.  there are so many fabulous movies! and speaking of, i promised living-under-a-rock-kate a list of the absolute MUST SEE christmas movies... obviously, the ones in the picture (well, you can watch the bob the builder one if you REALLY want to, but i don't really consider that a MUST SEE!). in addition: it's a wonderful life, miracle on 34th street (the real old one, not the new one with the annoying girl), a christmas story, frosty the snowman, santa claus is coming to town, the year without a santa claus, christmas with the...

THAT’S NOT FOOD!

my friend, stephanie , has inspired me with her most recent post. apparently this was a topic on oprah today, i don’t watch her show, but it’s a good topic. my comment on her post (which is great – read it. the post, not my comment.), was quickly turning into a post of it’s own, so i decided to continue my vent here. it probably won’t be as eloquent as hers, but i’m climbing up on the soapbox she just got off of. we eat CRAP! LOTS and LOTS of CRAP!!! as a nation, it astounds me how much non-food we consume. i’ve wondered about this for a long time, but it used to be inspired from an environmental standpoint rather than a nutritional standpoint. i wondered about all the garbage we throw out. it bothered me that you couldn’t go to the store and buy granola bars without also buying a box and 6 wrappers, that would then be thrown away. i wondered why, every time you buy salad dressing or ketchup, you have to buy a new bottle, which would then be thrown away. i wondered why, every tim...

i love bees!

so, i took pictures for this post yesterday and then, upon checking some other favorite blogs, i discovered this on angie’s blog. she totally beat me to it! oh well, i guess it’s a common thing right now. but not to be outdone, here is my post: the bees are just crazy right now. especially on the raspberries, which makes me super duper happy because it means we’ll have a TON of wonderful raspberries this year! as you can see, we have a LOT of them… my patch keeps on growing! and the whole thing is literally alive with bees. you can watch it and it’s constantly moving and buzzing… just a whir of activity! it’s really something to see!    i just love bumblebees! i always say i want them for pets. maybe it’s because they’re so fuzzy! i could watch them for hours.    my rhodies are finally blooming! i love that purple one.
