I Have a 2-Year-Old!?

Just got back into this "Blogging" business, missed it, but never really got that INTO it, so yea, but it's been in the back of my mind... so here it is! I'm Baaaaaack! ;-D Here's a small, but very meaningful, post to get me back into this. ~PLEASE FORGIVE THE HORRIBLE SPELLING/GRAMMAR~

(I'm trying to bust this out during nap time) ;D Some days, I look in the mirror and forget I'm a MOM, that sounds silly, but you can forget sometimes. Not forget your wonderful child, for they are constantly on your mind, but forget that you are now a MOTHER. That "title" or "role" always seemed (for lack of a better term, I am in no way religious) nearly Holy to me, like Moms freaking MAKE PEOPLE, and then they raise them.. *mind blown* Well my, I mean our (Dylan helped a little too) little person, Coen Apollo Blystone is 2 years old today. It never imagined he would be as amazing as he is becoming. The whole concept is so odd. First you find out you're pregnant, then you hear the heart beat, then around 18 weeks gestation you are told "It's a boy!", then you feel "something" move inside of you, you don't get it, well I didn't. I was stoked to be having a baby and shopping for him, giving him a magical little rocket nursery, and all that. but you never see this baby, you don't get to look at it, hold it, just basically talk to your stomach for nearly a year (I learned it's technically 10 months your pregnant, aka 40 weeks) Then you go into mind-numbing pain, for anywhere from a few hours to days... so women are in hard-core, full-blown LABOR for DAYSSSSS... You're body does some crazy-ass-shit, then bam... This fetus, you have been obsessed with emerges and you literally are in awe. Welp, I neeeeed to hurry this along but HAPPY BIRTHDAY COEN!!! You are incredible, more than we could have EVER wished for!!!!

Weekend Worrier List

Last Minute Chicken Sliders

So my husband comes home from work around 5 or 6 most days of the week. So I have all day (until then) to plan some sort of dinner (as well as clean, bake, laundry, and just hang out) (I NEED A JOB!) ha ha so I came up with this really creative, and very last minute dinner. I'm probably most impressed by this because we're far from a full fridge, we're in that awkward "Between Grocery Shopping Trips" and we have to get really creative.

So I just threw a big hunk of frozen chicken breast (or a couple little ones) into a frying pan, with seasonings, chicken broth, butter, garlic, and a splash of water.

I let the chicken cook thoroughly...

while I was doing that I opened a can of GRANDS country style biscuits and flattened them out (they are the buns for the sliders) I put butter on top and threw them in the oven for a good 10 minutes.

While the biscuts and the chicken were cooking I sliced some Roma tomatoes, peperjack cheese (Dylan's FAVORITE) lettuce, and pickles each on their own plate (so we could pile them as we'd like)

That's basically it, once the chicken is done and the b

iscuts are a golden brown start to assemble them. I also had the condiments out and ready, I didn't know what he would like so I had out all the stuff; ranch, mayo, mustard, dijon & Ketchup.

I snapped some pictures of the process and the finished sliders!

I Want Her Back

By her I mean myself, I have to get back, everything is so murky right now. So scary, so upsetting, so frustrating. I've never been this gone, I've never really been gone... that probably doens't help. Realizing I've never really had to work for anything ever used to be something I was so proud of. I'd think "Oh, I guess I just dont have to work very hard in life, good things just always happen to me." Everything ALWAYS worked out. I'm not regretting that, because I wouldn't have been able to deal then either but It's just a lot to take in. By no means am I saying that I've never had to work hard or have struggles would be a lie, but nothing that really made me step back and take a really hard look.

Hearing (over and over again, from EVERYBODY) "You have this problem, and you are the only one who can fix it or make it any better!" is not what anybody wants to hear, but it's not about what I want anymore, except me wanting to get better, I need too. I need to do this so I can have life back to the way it was and not hate myself so much.

I was to wake up tomorrow and be like "Damn, that was a bad dream!" and I think I have been telling myself that is going to happen... can we arrange an appointment for someone to slap me across the face? I've been thinking it will all just go away, and it wont... I actually have to work at something I have no experience in and that scares the shit out of me.

Embellished Dishcloths: Part 1

Yesterday evening, Sarah & I went out around the town for some fun! I really needed this girl time :-) We went to Craft warehouse (found some goodies), Goodwill (found some more goodies) and Target... not so many goodies, except we each scored 2 packs of 6 Flour Sack Dishcloths! Each pack of 6 was less than $3.00 each! Why were we so interested in Flour Sack dishcloths you ask? Well, while we were at Craft warehouse they had a display and free directional how-to sheet (lost mine, reason for this blog actually) for Embellished Dishcloths. I was really into this idea, sounded so fun and *ahem* can you say, PERFECT CHRISTMAS GIFTS??? ;-D So today I washed all my dishcloths, I was really excited to get started... and then I could not find the little pale yellow direction sheet anywhere, I even peeked into the garbage, and no luck, left to my own devices I realized I had this handy tool, that I use several times a day that could help me...internet. So I googled and.... voila! Some lady (I greatly appreciate this stranger today, lol) did a whole tutorial, Embellishments For Decorative Dishcloths. So that is the tutorial I am going to use and I will post another blog soon about how I may have did mine differently, along with pictures of mine.

So I have 12 Flour Sack dishcloths to embellish and make all cute and fancy, and 3 (white, tan/khaki, and chocolate brown) I bought at Craft Ware house that are thicker and smaller.

My Love

So I finally got a Nikon D-40 SLR. Dylan took me to get it the last Sunday in April and I have barely put it down since. I've gotten so many good pics, I'll post some now.
