New Year's Eve!! Happy Anniversary and Happy New Year!

Wow! has it really been that long since I posted to my blog. Well here goes!

Since it is my anniversary, the kid's will stay home this evening. They need goodies and snack foods. I think I will start with their favorite; Rotel cheese dip and chips. Then on to something a little more substancial, chicken quesedillas and cheese enchilladas. Now for a dessert. Ahh! Blue Bell ice cream and cookies!

There! That should hold 'em! I hope!

Saturday, Sept. 12th Beef/vegetable soup

Sinus congestion calls for soup! But this headache makes cooking the last thing on my to-do list. I haven't been to the store because I just don't feel like it. So, a quick trip to the store, and a few canned veggies, fresh angus beef and beef stock, ....now I'm ready to cook. Hot soup sure tasted good! The pre-packaged cornbread mix, not so good. And, next time I won't rush, (I forgot to drain my beef, ick!)

What to do about blogging?!?

I'm trying to decide if I should make my blogs meaningful, or if I should just write about myself and my family. Hum, what to do, what to do? My husband and I went to see the movie "Julie & Julia", LOVED IT!! So I feel the need to blog with a purpose. I would love to blog about daily happenings in the Brixey household, but that would get really old after a while.

So what meaningful topic should I choose? Any ideas? How about diet struggles? Or, meal planning for the busy Mom? I just can't decide. There are so many more important topics than just meal-time and food. But that particular subject is on my mind. So it is off to the kitchen to prepare my family's dinner. Pepperoni chicken, broccoli/cauliflower blend and .....well I got that far, the rest will come to me.

The End of Christmas Break

Well it's back to the classroom tomorrow. I should already be in bed, but my endless to-do list keeps running through my head. I still don't feel prepared, even after spending 3 hours in one of my classrooms this evening. I am ready to go back. I think I have vegged in front of the TV all I can. The last 3 days I have had an excuse. At least I believe that a horrible headache and congestion from a cold, is a pretty good excuse.

What a great day at fbc! I really feel challenged to set goals for my everyday walk.
