1. the other day i was holding Lucas and actually felt his body temperature change. I looked at Joseph and said "oh Lord, Lucas is getting sick". Joseph looked at me like I was crazy...
By nightfall Lucas was running a 103.5 fever.
2. Today Lucas woke up from a nap and i saw that his hair had actually grown during the last 2 hours. I told Joseph this and he looked at me like I was crazy.
Lucas' hair is growing. I am with Lucas 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. I am actually around as his hair grows. It has to grow at some time....why not during his 2 hour nap...IT DID, I swear it did.
3. I am scared to move. When I move, Lucas remembers I am alive and cries for me.
***
When I worked, I was able to tell when a store was going to have a bad month before actually looking at the bottom line. I could tell before even hitting their income statement. I think I would mentally gather info throughout the month and know who was screwing labor over. If labor is out of control, a restaurant will NEVER make a profit.
I could tell you a "Future Partner", District Manager, or any other sort of higher up person, that they would never make it. I could call it WAY before the owners would ever even BEGIN TO THINK bad of that person.
Now I can tell you in an instant when one of my kids is up to no good. *I can tell you that Kamryn is the little miss temperamental but she will also help me in an instant when needed and leave me laughing in the process. *Summer Grace tattles on herself by saying "I love Kamryn and I will always be nice", which means she just terrorized Kam in some way. But she will also always ask for a hug in the most unexpected moments making your heart melt, and she is just such a little sweetheart. *I know exactly what every noise Lucas makes means. He can cry all day long and make me so impatient. But the moment he sleeps longer than expected, I miss him terribly and can't wait for the moment he awakes.
AND YES, each "talking" noise Lucas makes means something different, and I know them all. And I am in a continual growing stage with him. Right now we are in a communication stage. Last week, we were in a motor stage. Apparently he ditched the walking efforts for the "ba ba BA" sound.
So my point is....yes, I have a point......When I was working, I was on target with fact and my feelings. Now my work IS my kids for 24/7. So when I say their hair grew in the last 2 hours, then GUESS WHAT...IT DID. Cause all day I look at that head and so I know it!
When I say they are getting sick before they even have any symptoms....then GUESS WHAT!!!
THAT's RIGHT....cough cough
the power is with me.

dear deer meat
so 2 nights ago joseph came home with this huge ice chest full of 2 hindquarters of deer meat. it is ALOT of meat. i mean, A.L.O.T....so my kitchen became this butchering arena which caused me to have some weird dreams but none-the-less very exciting and kind of festive.
i asked him if it was road kill. he said he is pretty sure it was not. a customer of his brought it to him. apparently the rich who accompany my husbands work only hunt for the thrill, not the food.
so when joseph found the gunshot wound, we all breathed a sigh of relief. definitely was not roadkill.
so that night, because i had no other idea what to do with it, i made deer meat chicken fried steak. it was ok. i salted, pepper, and garlic salt. then coated in milk and flour. fried in olive oil. the flavor tasted pretty wild, literally. the next day, it tasted alot better....cold and straight out of the fridge.
So now joe has it all cut up. we have some steaks, some roast and loin size pieces. Is a roast the same thing as a loin? Anyways, I have plans for making deer stew, grilled steaks, roast in the oven, and a loin that cooks all day in that stew pot thingy that for the life of me I can not think of the proper name right now. anyways it is that pot that you turn on and leave it all day to cook.
Anyone have any ideas? I need some dear deer recipes. :)

stay-at-home mom
since staying at home, i have loved every single second of it. even the crazy parts. i have had one huge issue though. i have felt this whole time like i am not doing enough and as if everyone around thinks i am not either. i even went so far this week as to keep a detailed list of everything i do during the day. it was long and it was alot. still i felt like i was falling short.
you know there are moments that i am just sitting on the floor playing with lucas. or i spend alot of time patting summer grace's head cause she is a puppy not a person. but when i signed up for being a stay-at-home mom, isn't that what i expected? isn't that what i wanted? if i was a daycare worker, that is what i would be doing with other people's kids. if my kids were in daycare, that is what their teachers would be doing with them.
but i am not taking care of someone elses kids and someone else is not taking care of my kids. it is my job 24 hours a day for 7 days a week to do what i do.....and i am glad for that....no i am more than glad. i am so blessed by God to be doing the ONE job i have always craved.
There are women in the bible who worked a business and still excelled at raising a family. Then there are women of the bible that excelled at just raising their family. Both women loved their families and both women did as God directed. I happen to fall in category #2. I can not raise kids well and work at the same time. I always feel guilty at work for not being at home with my kids. But i never felt guilty at home for being away from work.
the other day i dreamed about my old job. it was an awful dream. in the dream i had the same feelings of inadequacies, felt ridiculed, never lived up to the expected potential, had low self-confidence, and just a big ugly feeling inside. when i woke up, i carried that feeling with me for awhile. then i remembered to be thankful that i no longer have to work in that kind of environment. i truly think that the last 1 or 2 years that i worked, i was meant to be there for only 2 reasons. 1. to realize that i wanted to be a stay-at-home mom and 2. to make enough money in the needed time frame in order to get all mine and Joseph's debt paid off so i could stay at home.
we have a limited budget and we struggle alot with learning to live on this new tight budget. but i would not trade this job for a billion bucks. i want to stay at home with my kids. i want to imagine with them and teach them to count and all the letters of the alphabet and the different sounds they make. i want to be here when they get home from school. i want to make sure they stay out of too much trouble when they are teenagers.
i figured out today that i have been holding myself back from being fully happy with my new "job" by thinking i am not doing enough. i am doing plenty and i am doing exactly what i need to be doing to raise my family right. before i was a stay-at-home mom, i had such a high-end, demanding job. so now as i sit on the floor with lucas crawling all over me and summer grace showing me her new puppet show, and as I make sure kamryn gets her homework done and ask her about her day at school, I will remember that just because i am not working my brain to bits does not mean that i do not have, for me, the best and most important job in the world.
I do not have to make alot of dollars or finish a spreadsheet by 5pm or balance a budget to be important. my only job of being a mom to my 3 children is important enough for me.

just cookin'
2 recipes I have cooked recently that have been delicious:
Recipe #1 we shall call "American stir-fry beef flanks":
package of wafer thin beef flanks. sprinkle with garlic salt, salt, pepper, and meat tenderizer. Then splash some Worcestershire sauce over the top of the flanks. while you let this sit, start some pasta or rice or both. Also chop your veggies. I cut up one onion, bell pepper, and Roma tomato. I do not cut the pieces too small. maybe the size of a nickel. have tablespoon of minced garlic ready with veggies.
heat up some olive oil in a large skillet or wok. once heated up to medium-high heat or maybe a little higher, then throw in the beef flanks. brown on each side for maybe a minute a piece or less. just until browned. move beef flanks to plate or bowl. try and keep as much juices with the beef flanks as you can.
add more olive oil if needed. throw in veggies and garlic and saute for about 5 minutes. while veggies are cooking, cut up beef flanks into strips about the size of your thumb (don't cut your thumb though). then throw in the beef flanks and juices with the veggies. stir and cook for about 10 minutes.
If you made pasta, then you will now want to mix together a mixture to toss in with the pasta. mix about 1/2 cup of olive oil, salt, garlic salt, parsley flakes, basil flakes, and about 1/4 tsp of minced garlic. stir then toss with pasta.
Serve with steamed rice or pasta.
.....................................................................................
Recipe #2 i found out of the Taste of Home magazines that Cindy bought me when she came to visit. she found a stack of about 50 wrapped together and on sale very cheap at Half Price books. I LOVE THEM. L.O.V.E them SOOOOOO much. I am now a recipe junkie. I love browsing around my TOH magazines for dinner ideas.
It is called Fisherman's Crispy Coating. I did modify it some because of my lack of some ingredients. so this is my own personal version of it ;)
I used steelhead trout for this recipe. this is a nice fish. it is pink like salmon but tastes better in my opinion. plus it is a tad bit cheaper. at my HEB it is farm raised and full of wonderful stuff that makes you healthy and strong. it is supposedly antibiotic free. You will need 1 pound of whatever fish you choose.
in shallow bowl mix together one egg with one cup of milk and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.
In a large resealable bag, mix together 1 cup CRUSHED crisp rice cereal, 1/4 cup flour, 1/4 cup cornmeal, dash of pepper, 1/4 tsp of seasoned salt or all-purpose seasoning, 1/4 tsp of garlic salt.
Dip fish in egg mixture, then coat with mixture in bag.
I did not put the mixture into resealable bag, I put it in the bowl and learned the hard way why they said put it in a bag and shake. because if you use a bowl, by the time you get to the last few fish, the mixture is too gooey to stick to the fish. so to fix that problem, i just added more cornmeal at the end.
Add 1/4 inch of olive oil (or whatever oil you use) into large skillet over medium-high heat. fry fillets for 5-7 minutes on each side. Serve.
YUMMY EATING!!! enjoy. :-)

i said "oops" to my lil' turkey...
I am getting Thanksgiving off to an early start by testing my turkey cooking skills. I have never made a real turkey before. I always buy the yummy pre-cooked turkey at HEB, which is FABULOUS. But this year, since I think I am Julia Child and Martha Stewart and Gordon Ramsey, I decided I must try the real thing. My "real turkey" is not really real. It is just a boneless 1 lb young thang (or 3-5 pound, I can't decide).
Tonight I am marinating it. I put in about 7 cups of water, 1/4 cup of sea salt, 1 cup of packed brown sugar, and a little more than 1 cup of maple syrup (light maple syrup, because as you can see we are trying to watch the calories).
Then I got out the lil' tukey package. I unwrapped it. Found that it came with a little package of gravy. Isn't that nice? don't need it right now though, so I stuck that back in the frig. Then I get out my lil' turkey. I see it is wrapped in a net. i wonder to myself why they wasted their time with this stupid net that i now have to cut off. I get out my scissors. And I cut the net off. my lil'turkey promptly falls apart.
WHY? why would they not tell me in big bold letters all over the turkey package over and over again to NOT CUT OFF THE NET.
Me and my scissors. Someone please come and confiscate all scissors from my house. When I need them, I have to sign them out only after getting approval for usage from a responsible scissor attendant.
So my poor lil' turkey which no longer even resembles a turkey is marinating in all these delicious juices I threw together and hopefully, even though the turkey is broken it will be FABULOUS.

bald is beautiful too
and thank goodness for that. ....
You ask why? or maybe even how?
....
Well let me explain. first you have lunch with a "friend". She convinces you that your child's one wacky curl and comb over hair on the back of his head needs to be cut. And well, maybe it was the bottle of wine you shared with this "friend" or maybe it was just a small lapse of judgment. Either way, you decide to get out the scissors right then and there and take care of this little issue. No big deal right?
....
Well, the next day, you then decide it doesn't look quite right. So you decide to even it out just a little. This decision results in a head with many bald patches in it.
....
and this can not be.
....
So you then proceed to call up "friend" and have her come over with her clippers to close crop his hair. Well, since baby is not even 8 months old yet, and also because this "friend" keeps answering her cell phone....this close crop didn't really turn out any better.
....
So finally later that night as little innocent baby sleeps soundly in your arms, you take a plain old blue razor and finish the job yourself.
....
You cry silently.

Spontaneous Beach'n
Today I took Kamryn to school instead of her riding the bus. Her Comanche project was due and I didn't want her losing all the little pieces on the bouncy bus. We worked really hard on it together and learned some pretty interesting facts about the Comanche tribe. For example, they were nomadic and when it was time to move on, the women were the ones responsible for taking down the tee-pee and packing everything up. Man, I wouldn't want to mess with a Comanche mama!!
Here is a pic of Lucas showing off his crazy crawling skills (I tried to post a video but couldn't get it to load. so if you want to see him in action, go to facebook).
He is just a crawlin, just a crawlin, oh yea!!......Peace out, Yo.
When we got to the school, Kamryn said as she was getting out "This is so embarrassing carrying this thing in" (it is a little canvas with a tee-pee on it and a few other things, barely noticeable.) You know, maybe next time I will help her carry it in. Then she will know what embarrassed really feels like!! :)
Today I had planned on taking the little ones to Cole Park. It is a really cool local playground on the bay that has lots of mazes, swings, slides, and other cool stuff. But mom called me up and didn't need to do much to convince me to go to Snoopy's instead. Snoopy's is another great local joint. It is a seafood restaurant on the bay where you can get great greasy food, beers, and sit on the deck to eat. So that is exactly what we did. Mom had fried oysters and Summer Grace and I shared a kids fried fish plate. Lucas ate alot of crackers and only choked once. Go Lucas!! We also each had a beer.....mom and me that is. Summer Grace and Lucas passed on the cervezas.
Summer Grace made herself a mean lemonade though.
So we sat on the deck and enjoyed a nice cool breeze and made plans to hit up the beach next. Mom and I were secretly having a contest on who could find the coolest spot on the beach to hang on. I had a great space in mind where Joseph and I went on our last date (boy, that was a looooooong time ago, huh Joseph?). Mom had a different spot that I KNOW she THOUGHT was better than mine. ;)
Well, since I am such a good daughter, I humored her for awhile and looked around for this spot of hers that was supposedly so grand. But eventually we meandered to MY SPOT! It really is a great spot. The sand is nice and packed down, there is a very wide sidewalk to walk or jog on if you don't want to get sandy but want to exercise on the beach. It is also very clean. For you locals, it is the spot off Whitecap on the Island next to the nice motels, I think the street name is Winward?? Anyways, they have a public parking area....for free!!! (hard to come by in Corpus, the city that is always looking to make a tiny bang off my little tinsy tiny buck).
So we sat in the sand, Summer Grace ran in circles and practiced writing all her letters in the sand. Lucas worked very very very hard to get as dirty as he possibly could. He even convinced me to let him chew on Summer Grace's flip flop. He got really ticked off when I took it away from him and was about to ruin the serenity of the occasion, so I decided really quickly that if he was in daycare, he would be exposed to all kinds of germs, and so I went ahead and let him get a dose of germs in today.
Now we are home. I forgot my camera on this little adventure though. I will try and be a better blogger next time and remember it so that I can show hard-core proof of my stories.
....
Lucas was very angry at me for sticking his dirty tail in the tub. I guess he thought since he worked so hard at getting dirty, I was going to let him stay that way.
....
Summer Grace is all tuckered out though, look and see for yourself.
Here is a pic of Lucas showing off his crazy crawling skills (I tried to post a video but couldn't get it to load. so if you want to see him in action, go to facebook). He is just a crawlin, just a crawlin, oh yea!!......Peace out, Yo.Tuesday, November 3, 2009
pessimistically optimistic
Alright, so both my little ones are sleeping soundly, or pretending to atleast. So I am excited I get to blog again. Please....please, hold the applause and the awws. I seriously doubt you will, everyday, have a treat such as this.....2 blogs from me in 1 day! But today, you do.
Well, lets get the crappy news out of the way to start with. When I was little, I had alot of health problems. I am a tinsy bit scared (ok, well scared mindless) that they have returned. I have to go see a specialist in order to get properly peeked at. Hopefully it is nothing. But since my biggest fear in life is leaving my children motherless, I am overly paranoid when something is wrong (as I am sure most mothers are). SO with that being said, and without having to go into yucky details, if you are the praying kind, please send a little prayer up for me that I get to stay healthy and watch my children grow!! and thankyou.
Now, on to the better stuff. I set my mom up with facebook. She was so cute replying to some of her old school buddies today. After alot of help from me and alot of typing to 2 of her friends, she was all tuckered out and said she will reply to others later. So if you didn't make the first cut, don't lose hope, you may receive a hello next time.
My husband cooked supper for us last night. It was his day off from the golf shop and on those days I always ask him to cook. he always acts so surprised when i ask him, even though everyday he is off, i do. men are so strange. my man especially. he always says the opposite of what he means. and you know, men are confusing enough as it is, so to add this twist to life.....well, let's just say after 5 years of marriage i may finally be getting used to it....but i don't like it. nope, not one bit.
but supper was delicious and he cleaned up too. when i cook, he cleans because, well a cook shouldn't have to clean up her own mess. but when he cooks, he cleans, because a cook on her day off shouldn't have to clean up another cook's mess.
Kamryn is trying out for the UIL spelling team today. we will know on thursday if she makes it. either way, life is good and she is slammin' smart.
well, lucas waved for the first time today. he waved bye to grandma. lucas "hearts" grandma. and grandma "hearts" lucas right back.
summer grace has been a busy bee today playing with all her farm animals. her antelope was a pig and all her cows were fairy cows, even the bull (yes, I said fairy, not dairy). they all had on skirts too. i couldn't see the skirts, but she insisted they were there. i believed her. what else was i to do?
peace, love, happiness

just me and my blog
so I love to read blogs and I love to write about my life, because it makes me feel interesting. So I figured I would start a blog all on my own, without even asking my husband for help. So don't you feel all famous, reading my very first, very own blog!
my life consists of my 3 children. They are Kamryn 9 years but almost 10, Summer Grace 4 years oh and a half, and Lucas 7 months. My husband, Joseph, is a wonderful man who works 2 jobs just so I can stay at home with them, which has always been my dream since I became a mom. i have been living this dream as long as lucas has been alive.
on this blog, you can read all abut my silly life. i will write about cooking and even post recipes, i will tell funny kid stories, i will complain, whine, say hilarious stuff, and maybe even make you cry. or i may just bore you to death.....i guess only time will tell.
i will also talk about my love for Jesus. He is the love of my life. i am not a crazy bible thumper, but i do love me some Jesus time. and no worries, i don't mind if you disagree with me, my faith is on solid ground. i don't even mind debating with you. and i certainly won't judge you.
when i don't capitilize alot, it is because i am holding a sleeping baby.
So that is the intro to my new blog. hope you come back to read again and again and again.....and again, well....as much as you like!
my life consists of my 3 children. They are Kamryn 9 years but almost 10, Summer Grace 4 years oh and a half, and Lucas 7 months. My husband, Joseph, is a wonderful man who works 2 jobs just so I can stay at home with them, which has always been my dream since I became a mom. i have been living this dream as long as lucas has been alive.
