What Ive been up to...............

Hmmm....WORK< WORK< WORK! I hate it! WHy cant I just stay home with my children like all my friends get too? It makes me soooo mad and Jelous!!! GRRRRRR!
Im due May 11th! YAY! I cant wait. Im hoping for a girl but another boy would be great too. Either way I am excited!
Trentons busy at preschool. He learned to say......Hi! Im sooo excited! He is finally getting the hang of it. We teach him his letter sounds by saying them on his hand. The speech therepist says he can feel how they are said this way. Cute! He has been fairly good at preschool....he does have his days...usually towards the end of the week. He gets tired and dont want to go. When we arrive to his classroom he pulls this big crying.......I love my mommy fit. I have to just walk away with tears in my eyes. LOL. The preschool teacher says sometimes when they go outside for playtime, Trenton crawls up on the bench and lies down to rest. She said several times she thought he was going to fall asleep. Maby he is just over tired! He goes to bed at 8pm. He has alot of fun! He does alot of fingerpainting and he loves it!
I have been working on the alphabet and words with Carter. He is comming right along. Catches on quick! We went to the docters a couple of days ago about his legs.....he has weak knees and he is severly intoed. He needs braces day and night and we go to the specialist on the 24th. Ive never noticed but when he is running, his knees Buckle up and fall out from underneath him. This is why he falls sooo much. I thought he was always tripping over his other foot......but apparently not. I wish I saw this earlier.
What else. Ive been extremely busy! Working at walmart. Writing my articles and editing others. I am also trying to get a part time job at our local deli. PLEASE CROSS YOUR FINGERS!!!! I really need this second job . At least until after winter. I am soooo far behind my bills and I dont even know why.....Plus Trentons birthday is comming up. YIKES! I have also been having some family troubles......those of you that know....NOTHINGS WORKING!
Jamies pregnant too. Did I mention that? Im trying to help her get a job and go to her appointments but she dont want my help and I think she thinks things are just going to fall into her hands for free. Whatever! Shes due April 12th. One month before me.
Time to go finish cleaning my house. It seems I get no time to myself anymore.

IM SOOOO Happy and Excited! So is Don!!!! We are going to keep it a secret until we find out what we are having...we go to the docters on monday!

Eay Breakfast Ideas!

Here's a list of great breakfast ideas, some easier than others:
Pancakes (make your own and freeze)
French toast (make your own and freeze)
Waffles (make your own and freeze)
Quick grits -add cheese if the kids don't like them plain ,don't use instant, quick is better!
soak the grits in the cooking water overnight for better results and serve with butter,
salt, and pepper
Eggs (try farm fresh eggs if you have never had them)
Hard-boiled
Scrambled
Fried
Poached
Oatmeal
Granola or granola bars (homemade is superior)
Leftovers
so what if it isn't breakfast food - pizza, fried rice, and pasta are great the next day
leftover spaghetti (pasta only) is delicious fried in butter with salt, pepper, and grated cheddar cheese
Fresh fruit
Smoothies
Mix fresh or frozen fruit, vanilla yogurt, and a little milk for a great smoothie
Wraps
scrambled eggs, lunchmeat, or fruit with yogurt can be put in a wrap for a portable meal
Quick and easy biscuits
Breakfast bars
Breakfast cookies
Fresh whole wheat bread (put it in your bread machine and set the timer so it will finish baking just as the kids get up in the morning) with butter
Breakfast casseroles (most of these can be quickly prepared the night before and baked in the morning; they make a big pan that could easily last several days)
Breakfast strata
Baked filled French toast
Crustless quiche
Breakfast pizza


Trentons starting Preschool this week!
