Food Boxes

What an interesting day! First call this morning was from Barb....Almost in a panic at the grocery store! Did you know that there is no longer a receive for lasagna on the box for noodles? Well now we do. Did I have the recipe? Well no not exactly....I don't cook with them.... Just cook to taste! What to buy? Noodles, cheese (various kinds), tomato sauce and spices....I'm sure whatever she did turned out great!

Then 2nd call for Laura.....Did I know that the recipe for Rice Krispie Squares with butterscotch and peanutbutter was not on the bag or the box? Well no but it is 1 C PB 1/2C Butterscotch and 6C Rice Krispies....Melt PB and chips and mix in cereal let set and eat.

Maybe I should put out a recipe book of all the recipes I've found on boxes over the years. Why would a manufacturer take a good thing off their product? I don't know, but the book is a thought. I'll get on that in my spare time.

(Keep up the cooking girls! You're doing great)

2 DAYS IN A ROW....MARK THE CALENDAR!

Wow....what a treat...or not?

I need some imput, I just received word that if I want to I could continue with my studies in the nursing program beginning next fall if I achieve an 18 or better on the ACT.......

To those of you who were able to achieve that do you honestly think I could be coached to do the same? (Remember it took coaching for me to pass the Math section of the Compass exam on my 2nd try) Or is it time to work and take a break? Word has it I could do it in 2 semesters + 1 class this summer (so I could also work alot this summer and maybe save for fall?) What should I do? I've not been this confused since my first child arrived without a manual!

BE HONEST! I CAN TAKE IT

Pressure!!!!

Ok, ok! I got the email and get the point! Yes, I know that Barb is the queen of busy, but she has had years of practice in the balancing thing, I have only had to balance life with kids, husband and friends. Now I've added school. Sorry to those of you who really do read my blog. I was extremely busy putting together my case study on patient JB. Did my presentation on Friday (power point and all!) and I think it was great (if I do say so myself).

This weekend was designated laundry weekend by Bob (I still have clean undies). He gets really cranky when he has to look for clean things to wear. Ok, I can't remember the last time I washed clothes (I think it was 3 weeks ago). Well, I just finished my 3rd load and with it only being 2 of us know, I actually am done. The laundry is pretty scanty when I wear scrubs 3 times a week. One week to go until Spring break and I can't wait.

February has been an extremely hard month in the dialysis center with the loss of 5 patients. The staff has informed me that it is fairly normal this time of the year. I guess I know now that I will be taking off for the month of February in the future! Actually I think I would miss being gone that long as I have made many great friends.

Bob and I plan on spending some spring break time in the Milwaukee to catch up with family, but I made him promise me that I would be home by Friday and that Friday, Saturday & Sunday were just for me! It amazes me how selfish I have become with my own time. Sorry to all of those who I have not had time for this year, but it will get better. Well that is if I don't decide to continue on with my studies. I have grown to somewhat like it, but Bob says that you don't get paid to be a professional student, so school will just have to be part-time. Can you believe that he actually thinks that I should support him for awhile??? What's up with that? No one told me that after my kids were gone I would have to mother my husband. How long till he grows up to be on his own? No really, he has been great through all of this and I don't think I would have done it on my own. Who would have said "Did you finish your homework?", "Should you be watching TV?", "What did you get on your test?", "I guess you should have studied more" etc. I must apologize to the kids for all my nagging while they were students at home. Was I that bad?

Well, I have to go watch TV now. Thanks to the Serious Blogger who sent the email to get caught up.
