The only good thing about being stressed is I tend to deep clean!  I got lots of blankets washed, floors scrubbed, dishes done, refrigerator cleaned out, laundry room floor mopped.  All the dusting and cleaning of the furniture.  Oh don't get me wrong, I would have done these things anyway because I can't live in a dirty home,  but the stress adrenalin gives me that added kick to keep moving!

Keeps me out of trouble in the way of eating junk because I am bored. 



Well I am not such a good girl today.  I was so hungry from all the cleaning I decided to made some mozzarella cheese sticks that I got from the Schwans order.  They were so good, as was the marinara sauce that went with them.  When will I learn to keep my mouth  shut and stop eating the garbage? I certainly could have had fruit or veggies, anything else would have probably been better than cheese sticks. 

Maggie works until five o'clock and then we have band practice tonight, later though because Kevin will be coming back from Marquette later.  I sure hope he gets his truck fixed before that tire falls off when he is driving down the road, it sounded horrible today. 

Good news,  Maggie got offered a second job today so between the two she will be working full time.  IF she takes it.  Funny how life shifts,  just a month ago she was home with no car, no job, no money and nothing to do.  Today she has a job, a car and lots to do, even a boyfriend.  I am now jobless, car-less with nothing to do.  Life sucks sometimes.  I MISS my job, I miss Austin, I miss having my own money, which technically was not my own.  I was taking care of the groceries, animal food and a household supplies.

So yea, I feel special now because I cannot help out at all.  

I am making oven fried chicken for dinner tonight.  I have my chicken marinating in buttermilk right now. The recipe is from my diabetic exchange so it is not unhealthy to eat.  I want to bake a cake or pie or something for tomorrow when the kids come in for the weekend. 

As you may have noticed, I have discovered my "emoticons" and they are quite fun to use.  Don't worry, as soon as the novelty wears off  you wont see so many anymore.  Right now, they are kind of fun!

I may come back and post after band practice tonight, most especially if this lady singer turns out to be a disaster.  We shall see later on.............

I kept dinner for myself simple.  This way I don't feel as guilty for eating so many mozzarella sticks! 



Poor David came home super exhausted again today.  I'm starting to think a doctors appointment is a good idea, he just seems super spaced out.  He barely ate any dinner tonight and went strait down to the bedroom to take a nap.  This is just not like him....
