Longing for Home/my castle

I am so confused...I want to work, I like to work. I am not a lazy person and I do not like alot of downtime. My back can't take it. I want to be home for my boys. I am actively looking for a position do do at home. I have contacted several large corporations speaking with them concerning my employment with them using my home office. I pray that soon I will hear from one of these companies.

What is interesting is the fact that I work on my own in my office daily. No supervision, no one to answer to. This job that I perform on a daily basis can be performed in its entirity in my home. Why can't I just do this job there???

The kicker to this all, is that what I do can be completed in about 2 hours a day...No kidding. Aside from answering phones, which a young person just out of highschool could do for $7.00-$8.00 per hour.

Can't a little birdie just drop this info into my current employer's mind??? Please!!!

I will be home soon, my kids need me, and I believe that my loving Husband will get this job that he has an interview for tomorrow. This job will meet our needs as a family and I can't take care of our home. That is my job anyway. I told my Hubby this morning that with me being home I could ensure we all get to bed at a decent hour so he can get 8 hours of sleep instead of 5-6. He was very happy about that.

Just think of all the wonderful dishes I can make and all the house work I can get caught up on...And all the organizing I can do. Oh my, I get giddy. To be in my home taking care of it, it is all that I ask.

Pumkin Seeds

Whilst in Hempstead, Tx area, we decided to go to DiIorio's before our trip back home. I bought 2 sugar pumpkins. The kids wanted them to color on and I wanted them for their seeds. Oh yes, wonderful nutrient packed pumpkin seeds. I cut the pumpkin with Tater Tots help, then we took the seeds and stringy pulp out and then sorted and cleaned the seeds. Tater Tot was so helpful. After draining the seeds I put canola oil on a cookie sheet and lay the seeds out. I sprinkled salt, garlic salt and chili powder on the seeds. We baked them for 20 mins at 350 degrees. Talk about yummy and oh, so good for you. By the way, they didn't make it through the night. GONE

Our Camping trip...

Well, it rained and it was soooooo cold. The boys were just itching to get out, so we let them play outside even tho' it was difficult for me because it was so cold. They appear to be happy and well. We took them to Yogi Bear/Jellystone Park in Waller, Tx. Great place. Just couldn't do anything fun, at all. They loved the cabin which had a loft. They slept in the loft, so did their dad. I ended up on the couch, not the couch bed, the couch. There was no room to pull the bed out. My mom and dad went too, they had the bed on the bottom floor. It was so crowded, but we ate good, and had fun watching movies and snacking. Dad grilled some awesome steaks. I haven't had a steak in about a year. It was soooooo good.

We came back a day early, didn't tell anyone, cause we were bummed. We got everything put up and I washed everything. The next day we got up and I made french toast, sausage, and oatmeal. We got dressed and surprised the boys with a day at Kemah, Tx on the boardwalk. We bought all-day/all-ride passes and we had a blast...The boys loved it. We rode all the rides, except the bullet. We ran out of time. We ate at the Cadillac Bar, Mexican food. High priced and not so great food. Oh well. We had fun eating on the balcony and seeing the boats go by.

I hope we can take the boys fishing this week, they are out for Spring Break. We would also like to take them to the movies and putt-putt or something like that.

Well, on the weight front I was up 2 lbs. No worries, I will get it back down, hopefully by my weigh in day Friday. We'll see. I won't worry too much, since it was a vacation weekend.

More later!!!

Where have I been???

I just celebrated my 36th birthday last Thursday!!! I have been taking care of my sick, sick, sick child. A-N-D my oldest is walking like he needs a cane, he actually asked for a cane!!! He is having growing pains, I just know it. I made an appointment for him to see the doc Wed.

My friend, Laura, and I are going to do this losing weight business together...We will help each other and give encouragement and a big kick in the butt, whenever and whoever needs it...

Okay, this is a new week. Waiting not so patiently to hear about a job, I need a good job, one with bene's...I hope and pray to hear from them this week. I hate to leave the Donalson's, but they will manage, they can't pay me and give me benefits, so I must go elsewhere.

I will post a new Chinese Salad later, that is to die for!!!
