Today was a good day!

Now I'm reading "How to organize just about everything" by Peter Walsh. Tons of great valuable information. I highly recommend it. It's a huge book, but you can just skip over the sections that don't pertain to you. I forgot how much I like reading.

Today was a good day. Have you ever "stepped outside of the house", looked in, and liked what you saw, that was me today. Jess is so darn cute, it's amazing what she picks up, she's like a sponge. And Jon's always good for a smile. He's adorable, he's not able to run from the camera like Jess yet, hahaha! Even the cat was extra adorable today.

I found some great blog sites today, I'm addicted...

• http://nablopomo.ning.com/ is a fun blogging ring that gives you ideas on blogging, and you can jump on other blog sites.


• http://bloggingcafe.net/ is a great blogging forum.


• http://www.stumbleupon.com/ was the most fun I've had in a long time. I have downloaded their tool bar. You can select your interests and it jumps onto sites of interest, you can rate the site and it will show you more of that kind, and if you don't like it, then it won't show you sites like that.

Jeff went on the campbell's site and got a great recipe, real quick and easy:

Cheeseburger Pasta

From: Campbell's Kitchen

Prep/Cook: 20 minutes

Serves: 4

Ingredients:
1 lb. ground beef 1 can (10 3/4 oz.) Campbell's® Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup 1 can (10 3/4 oz.) Campbell's® Condensed Tomato Soup (Regular or 25% Less Sodium)1 1/2 cups water 2 cups uncooked medium shell-shaped pasta

Directions:
COOK beef in skillet until browned. Pour off fat.
ADD soups, water and pasta. Heat to a boil. Cook over medium heat 10 min. or until done, stirring often.

I think I'll search the internet for a good recipe for the week, and he should too. And if it's a winner we'll put it in a binder and save it, otherwise pitch it. Sometimes you just get tired of the same old, same old. I like that campbell's site because people write reviews on the recipes and they give you tips like use this ingredient instead of that one, it will taste better, etc. There is so much to do on the web, it's exhausting.

Brrr, sure is cold out there!

Finished the "It's all too much" book last night, it was very good and very inspiring. I spent the entire morning cleaning and organizing the basement, so I feel accomplished today. The inlaws made a quick visit, they wanted their saw back. The evening kind of flew by. My nice clean basement got destroyed by a two year old... very quickly. That's ok, it wasn't too hard to clean up real fast before we put her to bed. I guess if you keep up with it, it's not so bad.

I don't think Jess took a nap today, I put her in her crib and then went about my business in the basement, she was loud for quite a long time upstairs. My snoring kid, who fell asleep very fast tonight, now confirms I don't think she even shut her eyes today, she just played in her crib for an hour or so. But at least she "rested". And Jon woke up at 5pm, so he barely made it until 8pm. Ahh, it's so nice to have kids that love their bedtime!!!!

Did I mention I hate being sick

What an awful night, I hardly slept, I hate being sick! I really hope we don't have to make a trip to the doctor's again. We'll see how the next two days go.

I think I have the only kids in the world that like to go to bed. I've never seen any like this. I'm not complaining, I am just shocked. Jon actually gets excited when it's time to go to bed. And even Jess is raring to go. Unbeliveable. They even are good nappers, usually.

I can't believe Jon drank over 32 oz. today, plus a jar of peas. It seemed like he wasn't drinking much all day, but all the little bits add up I guess. And he always drinks a lot before bed.

My top 10 list of bands/artists are (in no particular order):
Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, Cher, Eminem, Faith Hill, Guns n’ Roses, Madonna, Metallica, Pink, Reba. As you can see I like a variety of music.
