Midweek Ramblings

I am already exhausted and it's just 9:35 a.m. I had to make myself get up early to get some stuff done for work that would have caused some errors if I didn't get done. I didn't do too bad. My alarm was set for 6:35 and I ended up getting up at 6:42. Sure, I poured me some coffee and then sat in the floor and watched the news a little before I got started, but I was still able to get some work done before getting Maddy up. It doesn't help that I've been fighting sinus' this week and my throat has been hurting and I feel run down because of it.

My bed time since I've moved into my own place seems to have changed to 12-12:30 a.m. If I didn't need sleep I would stay up until 1 a.m. at least and get my house clean. I'm not a stay at home mom (although I really wish I could be and still have income coming in) but if you were to see my house you would certainly think I was. I'm still trying to develop a routine that works for me.

I tried my first pinterest recipe this week and I must say I was impressed. It's called pizza casserole. I didn't think it would be as good as it said it was, but it really was. It's probably my second favorite meal I've cooked since I've been here. Maddy seemed to like it as well.

I did a before and after shot. I needed a bigger pan really because the juices spilled out a little, but oh well.

I'm not going to write about how to make it since it's not my recipe in the first place. If you have pinterest I definitely suggest looking this up :)

My grandmother surprised me yesterday with some homemade cookies. They were chocolate chip with cranberries in it, or craisins. It didn't really sound good to me and I was really not sure I wanted to try it, but I'm so glad I did. They are so yummy!!! I ate way too many yesterday, but did save some for Maddy. Even Maddy liked them so it was a win win.

I don't know what's wrong with me, but for the first time ever I forgot Maddy had water day yesterday. I woke up late and I think that had a lot to do with it. I was happy we got to school on time. We walk through the door and her teacher asked if she was ready for water day. My face fell and I about just cried right then and there. I offered to go get her a suit and shoes but they had an extra one she was able to wear. I felt so horrible! I know I would forget my head if it wasn't attached.

School started back on Monday here in town and that means my nieces had their first day of second and fifth grade. My oldest niece had a rough start to her first day because they got there a little late and there was no where for her to sit and her teacher wouldn't acknowledge they were standing in the door way. I am not ready for my baby to be in school, but in just two short years we will be among the back to school people.

I got a neat grocery tote online for a $1 +$3.99 shipping. It normally costs $8.99, which I don't think is worth it at all. I haven't used it yet because I just got it, but you get to personalize it and I love the way it turned out.

It's from York photo so go check them out and maybe there will be other promotions.

Manny has decided he loves my side of the bed. I either have to sleep in the middle, or on the other side. It's quite cute.

That's all my ramblings for now. Happy hump day!!!
