In Memory of Rocky

Why do I feel so gloomy? Last year on Halloween my cat Rocky passed away. He chocked on a pretzel treat bag that the kids left on the floor. Now, every time I see a treat bag on the floor it's a reminder of my poor cat and I get so mad. I miss my pooh bear so much. He was only 12 years old when he passed away. If only my kids would have picked up after themselves my cat would still be here. Even today they continue to put things on the floor. How could I get another cat when my kids are not able to keep this house clean?

Who Said

My kids just love watching Hanna Montana. It's like on 24/7 now. While watching it tonight she sang this song. The part that struck me was the line: Who said, who said I can't be Superman
I say, I say that I know I can. Lately, I have been taking on more and more things. Yes, I do think I'm superman or would you say, SuperMOM! Anyway, I changed the song on my blog to this new song. Here is the rest of the song.

Lyrics to Who Said
by Miley Cyrus:
I'm more than just
You're average girl
I'd like to turn me up
And show the world

Aw yeah!

Cause some can talk the talk
This girl just wants to rock
I'm individual
I'm not like anyone

I can be glamorous
Just like you see in all the magazines
I can be cool as ice
Or anything I want to be

Who said, who said I can't be Superman
I say, I say that I know I can
Who said, who said I won't be President
I say, I say you ain't seen nothin' yet

Oh yeah. Yeah

Go on and make some noise
Every girl has a choice
To lead their own parade
I do it my way

Ow!

I can be soft and sweet
Or louder than the radio (radio)
I can be sophisticated
Or totally go (totally go) out of control

Who said, who said I can't be Superman
I say, I say that I know I can
Who said, who said I'm not electrified
I say, I say

There's no holdin' back
Stayin' right on track
Cause you control the game
So let them know your name

No limitations on imagination
Imagine that

Yeah!

Who said, who said I can't be worldwide
I say, I say time is on my side
Who said, who said i can't be ten feet tall
I say, I say that i can have it all

Who said, who said I can't be Superman
I say, I say that I know I can
Who said, who said i won't be President
I say, I say you ain't seen nothin' yet you ain't seen nothing yet

Wowww...
Yeahhhh...!

Who said

Come on

Yeah...

Menu Plan Monday - Family Favorites

I am so trying to get back into menu planning. My days now are really filled with school/work and other activities. I started to use Google Calendar as advised by Simple Mom to help plan my meals. I'm hoping after my 2 weeks of entries my upcoming weeks of planning will be easier. I so need an easier way and, of course, better recipes.

Before giving you my plan for this week, I want to first review last weeks menus. All the recipes I made last week were new so...... of course, there were some that we didn't like at all. The keepers from last week are: Bar-B-Cued Round Steak and Penne Pasta with Sausage. I deleted the other ones from my google calendar so they will not be repeated filling in next time with another recipe until all the days are filled with tried and true recipes.

This week:
Monday - Meatloaf, Green Beans and Rice
Tuesday - Bourbon Chicken, Parmesan Zucchini and Rice (TRIED AND KEEPING)
Wednesday- Sweet and Sour Meatballs (OUR ALL TIME FAVORITE)
Thursday - BBQ Chicken Pizza (NEW RECIPE)
Friday - Crock Pot Spaghetti Sauce and Meatballs (TRIED AND keeping)
Saturday -Crunchy Nut Chicken (NEW RECIPE)

To find more tried and true favorites from many others who menu plan go to I'm an Organizing Junkie here.

Are You Messy?




You Are a Little Messy



You aren't the cleanest person in the world, but you're definitely not a slob.

You clean up when you have the time, but you're realistic about what you can get done.

Generally, you're pretty organized and tidy - though you may have a few hidden messes.

You eventually get around to making things spotless, but you do it on your own schedule!

French Fries with Adobe flavoring
Tuesday - Chicken Jardiniere (Pressure Cooker Recipe)
Wednesday -Penne Pasta with Sausage
