Well, its definitely cooling down out and winter is on its way.  We got our kitchen ceiling finished, new lighting installed, and then today i got enough ambition to rearrange the livingroom and office.  Im tired now lol.  Seth's feeling down and out, as the littlest kid in his class or in his age period he tends to get bullied and in 4th grade hes at that age where I feel for him....Joel took him out to kick the soccer ball around while I got dinner ready, garlic parmesan chicken w artichokes in a butter white wine sauce and baked potatoes...as cold as it is might as well get used to making oven meals :)  Too bad Joel hates chicken lol but thats why we only have it once every few months sigh.

Life is really stressful right now, theres a lot to worry about, and a lot going on, but Im doing my best to keep sane, love my kids, and be patient w everything!

Well, in honor of the big "Frankenstorm" coming up I decided to fight this rainy dreariness by warming it up inside w some Mexican carnitas! :o) Oh how I love mexican, let me count the ways.....

Had a sick son home from school today but hes definitely feeling better and back to talking a mile a minute lol

So today an ad came across the tv for a WoW Lego set...needless to say the boyfriend was pretty excited and even my 9 yr old non WoW playing son (he has only played a few times and has a starter account of his own, but at 9 his attention span leans more to outdoorsy things like his momma) thought it was the coolest thing ever.  So, I guess WoW shall creep into yet another area of my life lol and I think it sounds like a fabulous "To: Joel and Seth, Love Santa" kind of present ;)

Last night the boyfriend made me watch the weather w him before bed to hear about the "Frankenstorm" coming.  He knows how much I love snow and cant wait for the first, and this storm looks like it may just bring that....hopefully without spreadin too much damage in its wake.

In other news I am very distraught at the fact that I just hung a regulation dartboard in the middle of my livingroom...something I would never have considered before as it does not go w my decor at all and I am all about everything looking just so, but the boyfriend and I love throwing darts (even bought myself pretty pink ones of my own months ago) we never get a chance to practice as bar days are mostly behind us old folks lol, and winter is coming itll be a lil something more to occupy our time.  On the positive side I made it look as "classy" as possible and life is about fun, not living in a house where everything needs to be perfect...I should know that by now!

Well, its been a rough year...so many changes, and everyone knows I dont adapt well to changes, especially extreme ones.  As such I have procrastinated on even my most favorite yearly activity, halloween decorating...much to my 9 yr old sons dismay....thankfully tonight he insisted that we may be in a new home, we may not have many decorations left, but it was time to hang up decorations! It was great! For a few moments I felt happy and hopeful and like maybe this place could be a home too....

Well after only about a month of wanting my heater fixed so we can get heat running through this house (its frickin cold in the mornings!!!) last night we finally figured out the problem.....breaker to it was off and we never thought to check it! Sigh.....but in better news we have heat, yay! No more miserable freezing....but of course with the cold weather the battery in my car decided to take a shit too so we were careless for a whole two days (I about died) lol  I guess that means we actually got two big jobs accomplished yesterday, thank goodness! Winter is coming and theres so much more to do...sigh.

Well, its been awhile, but I thought itd be interesting to note that as much as my life has changed in recent months, I made a post awhile back about homemade spaghetti sauce and wouldnt you know that I am making that for dinner tonight!  The boyfriend is a pasta-aholic, and of course im a potato-aholic so we've been eating a lot of meat and potatoes lately, so I thought id fill his craving for pasta and make him some homemade spaghetti and meatballs....

We have this thing tho, where he says everything i make is "good, its good, its not how i make it, and not how my momma makes it, but its good, it really is" lol.  Drives me nuts!  Just say "good dinner honey" and leave it at that silly man.

Oh well, I am sure its better than the squirmy delight I had in "wow-land" today ;)

Oh and lately Ive had this HUGE craving for molten chocolate lava cake w icecream (u know the hot kind from applebees tho sometimes when i make mine i put pb cups in middle so its molten chocolate and peanut butter omg) but havent had the oven, the time, or maybe just the energy to make it :(

So anyways today while looking over the intrenet i stumbled on a recipe that you cook in the microwave thats molten chocolate lava cake.  Now ive heard about this microwave cake that makes nothing but a rubber ball to eat, but this has gotten great reviews and seems like it may just fix my craving.....wish me luck!

Well, today was the first day of school once again...Annabel is now a 7th grader, officially in highschool, playing modified sports, and Seth is now a 3rd grader....cant believe time has passed this quickly. sigh. Made the green tomato salsa today, it was excellent and will be a keeper!!  Its getting darker earlier...
