I don’t know what’s come over me but I think I have a problem, a big problem.
I have been baking. Seriously. I’m not kidding. BAKING! And some serious baking.
I saw some browning bananas the other day and normally I would wait another day or 2 to see if anyone puts them to use and if not I throw them into the freezer until the next 6 month bug I get to make my go to banana bread. But no, not this past week, I saw them and thought, Hmmm I can make a banana cream cheese pie or a banana cream pie, I do after all have 2 graham cracker pie shells in the cupboard that have been there for quite some time…
I even looked on line for a banana cream pie/pudding/cheese cake recipe, I even checked if I had the ingredients and I made a list to pick up the missing ingredients I was missing during the next visit to the grocery store. *gasp*
Who am I??
Has my Mr. been slipping some herbal substance that causes increased domestication into my tea? When it comes to the possibility of him getting more sweets and baking in the home, I wouldn’t put it past him…
Do your children bicker?
Good Lord, help me. Mine do. And I know, I know all kids do. Especially when there are three children in very close age proximity. (been there, done that, this is my second ‘batch’ of them)
But sometimes I am absolutely dumbfounded about the petty (to me) things that my children choose to bicker about.
I have this imaginary game I play with myself called Mom of the Year and every time I do something I know will ‘wow’ the kids I give myself some imaginary ‘points’ and this gets me excited! I love that the only person I am competing with is myself.
This will give me points even after they’ve left home!
I came across a web site with these fantastic recipes for convenient meals that you can prepare on the weekend. Weekdays you grab a meal out of the fridge or freezer and throw it all in the crock pot. It takes the worry and stress out of a parents concern on whether your family will be eating healthy meals at night especially with the many unforeseen time hampers during the busy workweek like unexpected stops at the wine store.

Since I currently stay home I don’t have much of an issue with this.
What it did get me thinking about is my many teenagers that are soon to embark on moving on with their lives *tear* and attending college and university (some of them will stay close’ish’ to home – an hour or 2 car ride away but still wanting the ‘full college experience’ aka freedom, aka dorm, aka big bucks *tear*) Continue reading
