Amber Waves and Rant and Raves

Monday.

Kids were great today. Mondays are kind of crazy and the kids are usually not very tired and we are all just trying to survive. Tuesdays are worse. I think Tuesdays are worse for everyone. But today, we played with spaghetti brains. Last night I boiled a pound of spaghetti and then rinsed all the starch off and let it cool and then divided it into four ziplocks and put food coloring in them with a hint of water and let them sit overnight. Then this morning at work, i rinsed them all so that they wouldn't stain the kids' hands and then dumped them all into a big bowl. I honestly don't know who was more excited, me or the kids.
So the average attention span of a toddler is like 3 minutes and Cason, Addison, Kellen, and I played in the stuff for over 20 minutes. It was sooooo much fun. We squished it and splattered it and made it into mush and I flicked it on them and we threw it at each other. I probably have the highest tolerance of messes in the center. I just let them do whatever for the experience and I clean them up before I go home, or they go home, whichever comes first.

Man I am sick of grocery shopping.
If anyone knows me, like really knows me, I love going to Wal-Mart. NO really.
But lately, I am so sick of them being out of all of the food that I buy and I get sick of shopping around and never getting the crap I buy. I buy all kinds of those steam bags of chicken vegetables and a cheap pasta and sauce. Wal-Mart doesn't carry the kind I am now addicted to and so I went to Marvin's in Farmington and guess what? They don't either! I'm going to have to freaking kill my own chicken and pluck it and take it to work every day. Geez.
They need an app where you scan or can scan the barcode and they tell you where the stores are that have it. So I don't have to go to all 17 walmarts in the tri county area. Just wishful hoping I guess.

So tonight I made chicken fried rice, egg rolls, chicken enchiladas, and margarhite pizza. The enchiladas were from scratch and I didn't follow a recipe and they were divine. If I do say myself.

I'm so grateful for all of the prayers and responses to my post from last night. Your words are encouraging and needed. Your prayers worked. I slept fine last night and I woke up 4am with wonderful dreams. Good day. Got my meds today.

We are watching "Killers" on Netflix tonight.
