Yummy-O

by Michelle on May 17, 2010

Just to prove I [can and do] eat healthy. Every once in awhile.

spag

I’m on my no-meat-whatsoever kick again. After watching Food Inc on PBS it is a wonder I’m eating anything at all. I’m just glad it was about animals and not chocolate. Don’t wanna give up my chocolate. HA! I told David, if they would just make one about junk food to gross me out, all would be well, and my hips would be happy.

Anyhoo, I actually gave red meat up several years ago, thanks Wayne!, but continued to eat chicken, but since watching that video, I just can’t do it anymore.

I still cook it for David and the girls though. And just want to add that my weird aversion to meat has nothing to do with saving the animals. I’m just weird. It grosses me out.

A week or two ago David and the girls had spaghetti and meatballs for dinner……….. I wanted some too but didn’t have any meatless sauce, so I threw some red onions & tomatoes in a skillet with some olive oil and my new favorite {that i cook} meal was born.

Do you have any weird food issues? Have you watched Food Inc?

Just a little something funny David said to me last night……….he’s a hoot. Shoot, I can’t remember exactly what he said, he can correct me later but basically…….

He is going to have me locked away if I continue to get crazier/weirder/mental the older I get *snort*

This was after I sprayed a mosquito with 409 {because I don’t like to feel them squish in tissue } and wouldn’t pick it up because I had just washed my hands, and didn’t want to have to wash them again since I was in the middle of cooking supper. To which he replied it is dead, and I replied, but I’ll still have to wash my hands ………

Yes, I’m weird. I’m choosing to embrace it HA!

Sweet Summertime

by Michelle on May 13, 2010

Blog break —————> officially over. HA!

Who am I kidding, I’ve been doing this for five years, I can’t stay away long.

Whew. Our school year is coming to a close, sooner rather than later. We test at the end of May so from here on out it’s gonna be review, review & review some more.

I am SO ready for this year to be over but looking SO forward to next year. Isn’t that crazy. Mind of a homeschoolin’ momma I guess. Right now I just need a break from it, not so much the learning part, but the teaching part. During the school year, even when we take a day off, school is ALWAYS on my mind. Did we do this? Do they know how to do that? Will this be on the test? Should they know this? yada, yada, yada.

In Sunday school a couple weeks ago we talked about being in a rut, what kind of ruts you get into [job,relationships, church] and what to do about them. I’m here to tell ya, I’m in a homeschool rut! Big time. So, to mix things up a bit we are going to do some unofficial unschooling stuff over the summer. Lots of fieldtrips, lots of hands on stuff, lots of reading & lots of time spent doing what they want to do.

We also have our 2010 summer fun list up and the girls are very eager to get started.

Fun. That was Sarah’s idea. She just wants to have fun. A girl after my own heart.

When do you start summer break? Any big plans?

How do y’all go about reading blogs? I have [...]

Randomness on Friday

April 9, 2010

Summer break is just around the corner. The girls are already talking all about things they want to do. Their lists are like mine, never ending. So far at the top is swimming. Which will be a lot easier this year with Sarah being older and the girls being better swimmers. I always worry when [...]
