SO I have some free time and I really want to post; however, due to lack of sleep, food, water and my increased stress level... well, let's just say I don't have a normally functioning brain right now. But I want to write!!!!!!
So here are some issues/ideas/thoughts/fantacies spinning in my mind.
1) I have all of the ingredients for some yummy, Paula Deen empanadas I really want to make; I just don't have the time. AHHHH, that frustrates me. If some of you haven't heard, I have an obsession with finding new recipes and trying them out on my family and friends. And now it's all I can do to find the time to find these new recipes. Let's hope I get to make these before the chicken goes bad!!!
2) Did I make the right decision by pulling Kenli out of preschool? This one floats around in my head everynight. Really, I've almost come to the conclusion that I made the right decision. And if I didn't- well, I just hope she's too young to remember.
3) What can I do to help my one-year old feel less stress. Ever since the baby came home, she has been having a rough time. I give her one-on-one attention as much as I can, but I don't think I'm cutting it. At least according to her.
4) Will I ever get to have a kid-free date night with my husband before I reach middle age? That one's self-explanitory if you know that my three kids are 26 months and younger.
5) Why isn't there more wine in this house? It is one treat that I really enjoy a couple of nights each week. Just a half glass relaxes my mind and body.
6) I have this wild fantacy about being able to walk into a restaurant and not have to worry about what bad "stuff" is hiding in the food I order. I really want to open a retaurant where all of the food is naturally healthy and made in a healthy manner. For instance, all food would be made without trans fat. I'd make everything fresh from scratch and it would all be low in sodium and sugar. Also, I'd use lean meats like ground turkey instead of beef, lots of fish and skinless chicken. Nothing processed or made from enriched flour-- only whole-wheat for me. Lots of baking and grilling, but not much frying. Does anybody know of a place like this where the food is actually good? I think it could be pulled off, but not anywhere around here. Oh, and it's smoke-free.
7) When is Oprah going to have her "FAVS" show? This is the only way I can stay up on new technology. She's keeping the air-date a secret. Doesn't she understand that some of us don't have every afternoon free at 4 o'clock? I need the date, lady!
Ok, I've vented a few of my thoughts. Don't worry, I edited for content so I didn't scare any of you too much from being my friends/family.
I think I'm going to go and spend some of my free time with my family-man hubby.
