  • Thursdays Tale

    *Yawn*
    Its too early to be up...okay its not, but I don't want to be up.  I'm doing this as a running commentary of the day, and will hit submit to the public at night.

    Rainee woke up rather whiny, but no asthma so far.  She *gasp* actually ate breakfast which is rather unusual, she doesn't like breakfast much LOL.  And this morning she ate 2 sausage egg burritoes. 

    Zeria's bread didn't get ready for lunch, so we had burritoes for lunch.  The Mexican theme is getting old.  LOL  Rainee had one burrito, and some carrots & ranch dip for lunch.  She's done great so far this afternoon.

    We had baton this afternoon missed 3 of my girls, but it was still fun.  Taught them some new gymnastics which they loved.  Bought the three kids at baton pop as a VERY special basically never happens treat.  Rainee chose Orange Soda, which I was nervous about due to her reactions to Red Dye.  I was right.   She has admitted it, and she learned a valuable lesson.  So we rescued her, and moved on.  There's some lessons its just easier for your children to learn yourself.

    I made a FANTASTIC new Crockpot Recipe.  6 THUMBS up.

    Morocaan Chicken
    1 t cumin
    1 t tumeric
    1/2 t cinnamon
    1/2 t salt
    2 T lemon juice
    1 choped fine onion
    .1 cup raisins
    and your chicken

    Cook for 6 hours or so on low.  An hour before serving add Cauliflower and mix in with the chicken and spices.  Serve with couscous, although I'm sure rice would be just as good.

    It was sooooooooooooo good!  Rainee ate the chicken, but not the couscous, well five little bitty bites of it.

    I think Jeremiah is getting sick.  He's sleeping in my bed tonight--I guess I won't be lonely since Rob is sleeping in a computer chair at work.

    Zeria was also complaining about head ache, stomache ache etc.  But she *just* start Junior High Basketball, and has been doing 2 hour practices everyday so I suspect her pain is her body protesting all the movement its been getting.  At least that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

    So Rainee ate a piece of homemade bread with blackberry jam, and a bowl of Marshmallow maties without milk as a bedtime snack.  I know  (*Gag*).    About 30 minutes later she had a sandwich wrap with bologna and pickel in it.  About ten minutes after that sandwich she came out in severe distress.  I  had to give her albuterol and atrovent within five minutes of each other to get her under control.  She didn't desat which was GOOD.   So she recognized it and got it dealt with before she was too miserable.  I'm pondering bologna and hot dogs which she LOOOOVES.  I know there nasty, but I love them too LOL.  Ironically when we had ham she did just awesome.  But as Rob observed its way way more processed.  I'll keep writing things down, and watching it.    She's now asleep, and I get to go to bed and finish my book, and enjoy a few minutes of quiet.

    I discussed with the ladies at baton that its the weepy/cranky time of the year.  We have had a beautiful January, but the short days just get to you after awhile.  We're all ready for spring.

  • That chicken recipe sounds divine!:)

  • Spring?!  That's a figment of someone's overactive imagination : )

    Where does Zeria do basketball?  My kids don't really get a chance to play much basketball.  It isn't one of the school sports.  Justin doesn't like the sport and won't allow a hoop on our driveway because our street is too busy and vehicles zoom by.  The kids and I occasionally go over to the school yard to shoot hoops in the summer but not often.

  • She may be effected by some processed foods or preservatives.

    That crockpot recipe sounds great!
