Unlike any other day

     Today is unlike any other day.  Well, any normal day in my house.  This week end really put us through some trials that I think helped ground us and made us appreciate even more the people around us and the things we have.  Fist our car broke down.  funnnny as heck.  we didn't get to fix it until yesterday. I walked to the grocery store(which saddened my husband). The walk back was a lot harder for me then I though it would be and yes I over did it.  I stressed the baby out big time.  my hubby fixed the car yesterday while I cleaned it out.  That was enough to cause some momma and baby problems for me and was told to go to the ER.  Once again I'm here, for the first time with this pregnancy but I'm not with my boys at home which is the hardest thing for me.  I missed out hugging them good Night and telling them good morning.....  I'm still waiting to have tests done this morning to find out for sure whats going on.  My two Nurses are so nice.  they made me a super plush bed with Lots and lots of pillows and warm blankets because i was so sad last night having to stay and missing my boys.  truthfully it may be their routine to do this but they didn't give me that impression at all.  I'll update later.

Not just another Day

Stuffed Peppers

Spaghetti Day

     Even though yesterday was National Spaghetti Day and I fully intended to make Braided Spaghetti Bread I ended up having a major craving for Stuffed Bell Peppers.  They didn't come out totally like i would have liked them to but all of the crew says they were great.  My taste buds are a bit off for me.  I at least know that I would have liked to use my moms sauce recipe in them.  This afternoon we did have Spaghetti for lunch. Well the little ones did.  My oldest son, husband and myself had fried Spaghetti.  It's not much for a clean eating but it sure hit the spot.  You have to try it.  For any red sauce paste you make the night before its easy yummy goodness.  Pull out from the fridge and get out your good pan.  Add a few pads of Butter. Yes, I said Butter and let it melt.  You have a choice at this point.  Either used your room temperature Spaghetti and start frying at med-low after mixing it once over. Or your cold Pasta on High and fry.  You're going to want to salt it a little and still stirring once over.  Let it sit and cook.  I take my time and have a seat and play on my phone and flip.  You can stir a little or don't even fry the other side.  My sister would call it a Paula Dean Special. But it's just something good to have that we don't have that often.  I hope you like it as much as we do.  Also, you can add some Parm Cheese while cooking.  Enjoy the day.

2013 brings its own...

     2013 has already brought on its own pains of happiness and heartache.  With so much that had to be done before the end of the year and Dec 31 st coming and going, it's just one of those things that you don't necessarily throw in the towel for.  You just keep on keeping on.  With such an important deadline passing so fast I really do admire my husband for just being able to keep trudging through as we always do.  Being the loving and supportive husband/father and taking so little I hope this year will go a bit easier for us.
      Already it's looking up.  We are no longer SixPlusOne we are becoming SevenPlusOne.  For those of us that have large families not only know but understand the space accommodation and large amount of love that comes with it.  We are due May this year and hopefully with lots of prayers we can make it to full term.
     In a few days I have a job interview.  That in its self is a huge plus for us.  Even though daycare will suck up everything the opportunity will help us build our future.  This year I have already been invited to a new Buzz. It's for MorningStarFarms, Truthfully I have never tried it but I am always looking for new ways to broaden my kids tastes buds.  Not to mentions My loving husband's as well.  We don't always eat meatless but we do have a few recipes that the family as a whole totally enjoys.  my eldest sons has been fighting with himself about going vegan.  He's still trying to figure out if it's a fade thing for him or if he can truly see the benefits of it.  I may not be a lifestyle that my family has hold dear but it is definitely one that we can respect and appreciate.
     As for my New years resolutions I don't think I have any.  I life truthfully to what I can change and if I "Cheat" I have no problem working through it and keep going. If there's one thing that I can contribute to my anything success is that life keeps going no matter what I do.  How I go about it is up to me. SparksPeople has always been by my side through my rough spots and I do plan on still utilizing their site.  There are so many amazing people on the site that continue to motivate me and help push me when I need it. So back to my Resolutions:
1. Implement a healthier living (food and exercise )
2. Have my own Curse jar
3. Hug my kids and husband everyday
4. Take time for myself
5. Family time
I'm sure there are so many things that I can add but These are the things that mean so much to me. If I'm not healthy then everything else will fall apart.

Until next time....
