Have you ever...

Do you ever:


...have one of those day{s}
...have a list that is a mile long and not sure how you will finish
...get the dreaded phone call I think something is wrong with your child!!!
...wish the week long headache would just go away!!
...hope that it really isn’t that bad??
...just wish you could go back to bed and start over!!
...wish that your child is just not sick make it all better no matter how old she is!!
...wish teachers would stop giving huge projects!!
...wish you could relax for a moment!!
...been so thankful it wasn’t that bad!!

Yes I got the call from Jessica’s work I think you need to pick her up and take her to the hospital. She doesn’t look well and I think she is really sick. ( she had been sick for a few days but not that bad??) So I hurry to pick her up and yah they were right she looked bad. I take her to the ER and tell them whats wrong with her!!  In a matter of 3 minutes we were in a isolated room with a mask on her!!  (possible Meningitis). So the Doctor comes in and finally says I don’t think so I think it is strep throat. So they give the awful swab. about 30 minutes later the nurse comes in says MASK BACK ON!!  it is not strep!!  Puts an IV in her and says we need to test for the flu!!  Oh you think the strep swab is bad!!  They stuck a cotton swab up her nose ( she thinks they touched her brain). Took some blood and they let us be!!  I was amazed at how much better the medication in the magical bag made her feel!!  They came back a while later and said not flu it just shows a infection!!  We could go home and just let her rest!!  Ugh scary moments but so Thankful all turned out ok!! Now after being in a closed door room for 5 hours in the ER where does that leave me??  I guess time will tell!!

The Cake Project!!

 Kelsi had a science project this year and she decided to do a taste test on the difference of baking a cake with applesauce, the regular way with oil, and the weight watchers diet soda cake where you just put a cake mix and 1 can of diet soda!!  


We had a little party for the tasting of the cakes!!  No one knew what cake was which and at the end they had to sign the card of the cake they liked!!

Mike and Hayley like cake #1 which was the regular way of cooking a cake!!


Allison, Jacob and I liked the Applesauce cake!!

But the winner which I was really surprised was the cake #3 with Diet soda!!
Todd, Vicki, Holly, Richard and Jessica!!

I wanted to thanks the Lowders, and Mike for coming over and helping us decide to make Kelsi's project a lot of fun!!

My Turn!!

Seafood of course fascinates me  ( probably because I manage a fish counter) So one of the places I wanted to go see were the boats down at the fishing area!!  This boat was one of the retired Deadliest Catch boats!!

Seattle Bowing Plant

When we were in Seattle last month one of the places we went to was the Bowing plant where they make all the airplanes. I have to say it was pretty cool!!


I thought my husband was a little on the short side but this picture just makes him look tiny!!


Now that would be a little scary wouldn't it??  Richard flying a plane??



This was the one place he really wanted to go!!  Thanks for a great 20 years Richard!!

My Favorite Meal!!

So being on this diet that is so wonderfully great!! I have lost 21# and feel great ( in 2 months)!! I (everyone sit for this one) don't even crave anything and I love it!!

So here it is Alfresco sausage chicken and sundried tomato with raw cashews added in at the end. Mixed with sauted mushrooms!!

Not the most colorful meal as my sister would probably say but so wonderfully delicious my mouth is watering just talking about it!!

Happy 1St. Birthday Zack!!

So on our trip to Santa Monica we also stopped off at Sprinkle Cupcakes in Beverly Hills!! I love these cupcakes and as most of you know because this wonderful diet I am on I can't have sugar so I got one for each of the girls and walked out without one!! Yah for me!! Now I have to say that is some strong willpower !!

SO I know why does it say Happy Birthday Zack? Well the week we were there Zack turned 1 so we had to get him his very own Sprinkle dog cupcake!! So pretty isn't it?

He was not sure what to do with it !!



But a few seconds later he was having no problems at all. We had to break it up a little for him but I think he enjoyed his Birthday cake!!
