HUMP DAY!!!!!
Gotta love Wednesdays... :)

I have been so sick the past couple days. I think it was some sort of stomach bug because i was so dizzy and light headed. I couldn't leave my bathroom for more then an 5 minutes at a time. It was AWFUL!

Gravol helped but it took a while to kick in and i would just let it out after i had taken it :( I feel much better today. I actually feel like a whole new person.

My hair is falling out like crazy. Everyone is telling me it was because of the pregnancy and it had happened to them too, but this is getting ridiculous. My daughter is almost 5 months old and it is still happening... It doesn't look like i am losing it though.. my hair still looks like it always has but when i brush it or put it up it just falls out in handfulls.. Ughhh it gets SOOO annoying.

I am going to get back to my workouts.. i have really been slacking. I'm just exhausted all the time. It's not like i don't have help ot i don't sleep at night, i just cannot find any energy... I am going to start eating a crap load of veggies and take my multi vitamins everyday because i need my energy back....

I'm going to go grocery shopping tomorrow and i need to figure out what we are having for dinner tonight.. heh. Probably processed crap but i just don't have the energy to cook from scratch tonight.... maybe tomorrow :)

BABY LEGS!!!!

I have a new addiction.. lol

I bought some from this woman on a site i go on and while i am waiting for them to come i decided to try to make my own just to see how they turn out.

Here they are!!!!

I'm actually pretty proud of myself....

I had to hand sew them because i don't have a sewing machine so it takes waaaay longer but i think i just might stick to buying them from the ladies and make a few pair when i have nothing to do (that is like once a month.. lol)

The hubby thnks i am crazy to sit here and do it but i actually enjoyed it!

The snow is crazy out there today.... it's storming out there and i just feel 'blah'.. going to cuddle up and watch a movie with the man tonight...Looking forward to relaxing!!!!!!

-More to come.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAT!!!

Today is my bestie's birthday... I LOVE her to bits and have no clue what to do for her b day.. We will probably got to this All You Can Eat Buffet called The Mandarin this weekend (Chinese food) It's sooo good there... The hubby and i are going to bring Amaya. This should be interesting.... Her first time in a restaurant.. hopefully she doesn't fuss.... *fingers crossed

We went grocery shopping today and she LOVED being in there... She likes to stare at someone until they notice and make a funny face and then she starts laughing with them... it's the cutest thing.

I have some stew steak (yes stew steak AGAIN) on the stove right now. I have to throw in a load of laundry *rolls eyes* and get some bottles washed and sterilized. Hopefully Amaya stays napping until i get this all done... Wishful thinking... i know.

Here is a pic from March 19th before we went for a walk to get a coffee @ Timmies...

She LOVES her walks...

She has 2 bottom teeth through the gum now.. i wonder how much longer until the top teeth poke through.. This child is growing up so fast it's scary.... I always rolled my eyes at the people that said 'Cherish every moment because they grow so fast' and now i find myself saying that.... Geez.... So depressing... lol

Anyway, off to slave around the house.. lol  Until next time- ;)

SUPER EXCITED TODAY!!!!

I am going to see my good friend and her two babies... She has a 16 month old and a 4 month old.. They are such cuties... Because her son was born not long after my daughter i haven't had the chance to make it down there because of the weather and i don't like driving with Amaya in bad weather..So the hubby is driving and i cannot wait to see them!

After that i am going to my moms.. She is going to do my tax return and i am going to help her set up her new LCD TV.. (big move for my mother.. lol)

After that i will probably come home and sleep because we have a long day ahead of us tomorrow at my cousins son's birthday party... He turned 3 a few days ago.. i can't believe how fast time flies.. like really....  Amaya is going to have such a good time with the other babies there.. Mickey and Mini are also making an appearance and i cant wait to get some pics with Amaya and them.... Hopefully she's not scared. heh

Well, time to get ready and get my little girl ready and off we go:) Will post pics of the party tomorrow and maybe some from tonight.

SO TIRED!!!

Well we got up super duper early so we could go and get our daughters passport done. It wasn't as bad as i thought and the wait time was just over half hour before our number was called.... Amaya did so well and didn't fuss one bit but she managed to take a HUGE poop while there so i got to take her ot the abthroom and change the stinky thing... lol
We are going to Florida to visit my inlaws late April so we had to get it done... i am looking forward to the trip but a little scared about it all.. heh

It's snowing here today.. the weather SUCKS and i cannot wait until it warms up so I can take my daughter out and see the world! Just going to the mall is super fun for her so i am looking forward to taking her to the zoo this summer.. She LOVES animals and i think the zoo is really going to WOW her. <3 She's my everything.

Tonight is left over pasta from last night.... it turned out really good too.....

Tomorrow I am making Chicken Parm with more leftover pasta.... (ugh pasta 3 days in a row but i won't let it go to waste) I made a lot of sauce so hopefully there is enough for the chicken parm.....

Here is how we make it...

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup milk
• seasoned bread crumbs
• 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil 
• Sliced mozzarella cheese, or more
• 1 jar of pasta sauce (straight tomato sauce.. no added spices)
• Parmesan cheese-grated

Preparation:

In a pot, bring your sauce to a boil. Add the spices you prefer when making your sauce. (i put salt, pepper, chili flakes, garlic salt and a pinch of chili powder) Once boiling, turn it down and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes.

Whisk together the egg and milk. Dip the chicken breast into the milk and egg mixture and then into bread crumbs.

Heat your olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Brown the chicken breast in the hot oil on both sides until golden, about 3-4 minutes on each side.

Set the chicken in a baking dish.

Slice your mozzarella into 1/2 inch slices and put two on top of each chicken breast.

Pour your cooked sauce over all pieces of chicken breasts.

Sprinkle the top with grated Parmesan cheese and a little more mozzarella (grated if prefered) and bake at 350° for about 30 minutes, or until bubbly. Serve and enjoy!!!

Makes a nice side for pasta.

HOLY EFF!!! IN PAIN!

So the day before yesterday i started to experience some sensitivity to my teeth after the dentist did some adjusting to the filling from my cavity.

Then the pain progressed and it was so bad that i couldn't bare it anymore. I called TeleHealth and they said i can go to emerg to get something for the pain until my dentist opens saturday morning. Well i stuck it out and dealt with the pain... i stayed up until 8am then called my dentis and they said to come in at 9am.

So in March 2009 I had had to molars (side by side) worke don. I got 2 root canals and they have bothered me ever since.

So my dentist shows up not that long adfter i did and she takes some X-Rays to see what's going on. Then the dreaded wortds "I have to take them out" WTF??!?

I went through 2 root canals AND paid $700 that my insurance didn't cover just to have them pulled? FML.

So she decided to pull only one at the time because that is the one that is the main problem.. IT HURT LIKE A MOTHERBLEEPER. OMFG NEVER AGAIN.

I am TERRIFIED that i will have to get the other one pulled. Hopefully the antibiotics help and i can save the other tooth.

My mother came up and met me at the dentist just incase i was unable to drive home but i was fine. She came over and helped out a bit then i went to sleep and slept like a baby.

The pain is slowly going away but i can still feel it and it sux.

YAY! JERSEY SHORE NIGHT!!!!

Today is going well.... so far.

I got up, fed my daughter, got dressed and went to the grocery store to get a few things. I came home and hubby and i started cooking lunch.

We made brocolli cheese soup.. it was soooooooo good!

Here is the recipe we used.

Ingredients

1 medium onion, chopped finely
1 small carrot, chopped finely (optional)
Splash of olive oil
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
2 cups milk, room temperature
1/2 pound chopped frozen or fresh broccoli
2 cups of chicken stock

1/2 pound of cheddar or marble cheese, grated
Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

1. Heat olive oil in soup pot on medium low heat
2. Add onion, carrot, and salt. Saute until onions and carrots are soft.
3. In separate pot, melt butter on medium low heat.
4. Add flour to melted butter a bit at a time. Mix well to prevent lumps.
5. Cook flour and butter mixture for about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
6. Slowly add milk to flour and butter, mixing thoroughly as you go to remove lumps.
7. When all the milk is added, return it to the heat, and gently warm it up.
8. When the milk, butter and flour mixture (white sauce) is hot, begin to add the cheese a bit at a time. Allow it to melt in before adding more.
9. When onions and carrots are done cooking, add chicken stock and broccoli. Turn up heat to medium-high.
10. Slowly add the cheese sauce to the soup, mixing thoroughly as you do so to avoid lumps.
11. Add pepper, and more salt if necessary.

                                        Here is my bowl :) ... It's great served with garlic bread!

4 MONTHS JUST FLEW BY!

My daughter is 4 months old today.. She's growing nicely and is still such an awesome kiddo!

She still sleeps 10-12 hours straight through the night and up for most of the day. She smiles A LOT.. She thinks the words 'poopie' and 'peepee' are HILARIOUS. lol
She's 14 pounds now too. I have to clear out her drawers and add all the 9 month clothing.. She's so tall she barely fits into 6 months anymore.

I'm STILL sick. Colds / Flu's SUCK.
When we were at the doctor yesterday i begged him to give me something to make it go away (antibiotics) but he told me to drink lots of fluids and get lots of sleep... Yeah but sometimes that doesn't so sh!t.. lol

I do feel a little better today though. I was able to get some groceries, cleaned up, did 2 loads of laundry, sterilyzed bottles and boiled her drinking water..i'm on a roll.

I want an iPad 2 but we are going to Florida next month and i would rather buy clothing and shoes for all three of us... we'll see how things work out. Plus i think if i get an iTouch i will be happier.. meh we'll see...

I jsut gave my little bugger a bath and put her down in the crib.. hopefully she will take a little nap so i can get some things done...

Oxtail is in the slowcooker cooking away... still has 4 hours on it and i am STARVED.. lol Maybe i'll make a bagel or something in the meantime.

Tomorrow's menu will be Bacon and eggs for breakfast, brocolli and cheese soup for lunch and left over oxtail and rice from today (There is no way we will finish all of it today unless FIL comes over.. lol)

I dis 50 jackknife site ups and 40 side crunches today. I have to get back on it. I gained back 3 pounds... how is it so hard to keep the weight off now? Before i got pregnant i was able to gain lose easy.. FML...
