The kids are completely ready for the summer and vacation. I really don't know that I'm ready for them to be on vacation!
Even Mr.T was trying to squirm his way out of taking classes this summer!
All the while, I've gotten my ass in gear, and tried to get things (things being myself) in better working order. Coincidence? Maybe.
OH and I discovered Bean Brownies!!!
Sounds disgusting, but I promise you, they're not bad at all! Add some peanut butter chips and they will rock!
One can of black beans
One brownie mix
Rinse the black beans thoroughly.
Put them back into the rinsed can, then add water till the can is full (with the beans inside)
Puree beans
Stir into brownie mix
Add the extra 1/4 a cup of water (most mixes I've found it's been 1/4 a cup)
Blend
Pour mix into pam sprayed brownie pan
Time per usual directions
You're basically replacing the eggs and oil, and adding fiber and protein!!! They taste like brownies, they smell like brownies, they ARE brownies, but only 2-3 weight watchers points each!

What sort of Mother am I?!?!
Today, I picked up my daughter from school, as usual. I asked the same questions.
"What did you eat for lunch today?"
"Uhm, chicken nuggets!"
"Where they good?"
"Oh yeah!"
"How was your day?"
"It was good, we had another SCA meeting today, and voted on prizes."
Pause
"What kind of meeting did you have today!?" - confused
"Uhm an SCA meeting." - like duh, didn't you hear me?
"So does your whole class get to go to these meetings?" - me thinking maybe they rotate the kids in and out for the experience etc.
"Uhm, no, just Dhruvil and I go, and guess what's the best! We voted for a week of no homework for the winner! Wouldn't that be so great!?"
"Yeah... " - stunned - "So uh, how long have you been having these meetings?"
"I dunno, like from the beginning or something." - obviously has no idea
So there you have it folks. Proof that I'm obviously not paying enough attention! Here I thought we were so close... I mean she tells me when she forgot to stop biting her fingernails, and that one time when she picked her nose in class...
So... don't let the picture fool you!
EDIT: My dear friend Reagan has pointed out, ever so eloquently, that this is all Mr.T's fault. Saying "It's the Karlan in her. Wouldn't he be on some committee at work and then tell you later only b/c y'all ran into someone on the same committee and that person mentioned it?"

Happy St. Patricks Day!
Green everything!
Salad - of course
Green Pork chops mmmmmm
And you can't forget the green jello!!!
All green except that Elyssa wouldn't take off the orange sweatshirt to show her green shirt with a cute fairy on it and Isis refused to be dyed and hid in a box in the pantry...
