Time for a week long recap
Holy Moly, We been bite by the cold bug/flu bug, ugh. Thank you (person who shall reman nameless) for sharing the nasties with us. Cough cough achoo your way~~~ I haven't had a chest cold in like almost 6 years, wtf? Thankfully I think (PRAY) its just about gone and we can get back to normal, I sound like I been hitting the bottle, like a mix between Janice Joplin and Marge Simpson, be nice to have my old voice back.
We missed church this morning because of our lovely germies and on this Sunday of all Sundays, the Sunday the topic was going to be about S E X, yep not the how tos but the spiritualness of it all, part of a two part marriage series in honor of V-day this last week. This topic always starts a fire with some couples. Bet it was intersting ;)
My kids just finished week two of lets wake mommy up all night and then for the day before 5 am to have party party. Thank GOD they slept past 6 this morning and yesterday morning, of course I had a date at 3 am with Dr. Robittusin DM and been up ever since.
We went to dinner and a movie for date night, we had some great cajun food (that I couldn't hardly taste due to this cold but it was good... I think, everyone around us was enjoying it and without reservations you had to wait in line for three hours to get in, thankfuly hubby called away in advance so it better of been good, lol) and then we seen a hilarious movie called "It's complicated", very funny. I nearly hacked up a lung during the awkward web cam "big fuzzy closeup" scene, great stuff!
And now I actually get on my PC for the first time in like three days and BAM outta nowhere I get bombarded with virus alerts, can't even use IE or anything (I'm using my MILs computer at the moment to check things and change passwords). Seriously bugged, so now I get to pay a ton of cash to get my PC back. Great. All well hope its not too much.
Heres to hoping we can sleep in (LOL, I can dream right?) get over this cold (please) and have my pc fixed for cheap without problems. Time for some couch time with hubby now that our babies are snoozing :)

A day of Love
Happy V-day yall!
Wonder what everyone does for v-day if anything.
We went to church, renewed our vows, and then went to lunch with our kiddos. It was a good day. Then we brought home some flowers for grandma, kind of also a peace offering (long story), were surprised by out of town drop ins and came home to a house full of smoke. Yep you guessed it, the...
Pellet Stove!
Grrrr, all well. Its almost spring, its almost spring...
I hope.
Hope everyone had a lovely V-day, now remember its v-day for our men folk on March 14 ;)

Fee Fi Fo Fum
I smell a candle yum yum. I love candles, good smelly ones that smell like Christmas or baked goods. Something that smells like spices and cinnimon and apples or sugar cookies and hazelnuts. I am NOT a fan of candles that smell like old lady perfume.
No offence
I love old people but certain scents are discontinued or sold by the gallon for 10 bucks for a reason, they are not exactly good scents anymore. Reminds me of makeup. Some makeup stinks and people think gee my face smells guess I'll spray more perfume..Umm why not take the gunk off (mini rant) any how....
The smell of cotton scented candles should be clean and odorless, not smell like deoderized fem. products. I have allergies, sinus gunk and severe gag reflux so guess how my afternoon with the lovely ladies candles has gone.
Yep its an all out war, do we really need three of those plug in candle melts, they are on..
ALL
DAY
Along with the pellet stove, my senses are being asaulted. So I have the door open, window open, fan on and a pot of tea brewing.
Muahahahaha
Victory will be mine! ;)

Froggy take two
Its official. I have become
The
FROG
My husband comes home from work the other day and apparently it was so hot in here that it felt like a sauna. I believe it now. See I woke up feeling perky and ready to take on the day, then zap. I felt like a toasted marshmellow stuck to the couch. I couldnt move, no energy. The heat zapping all I got. I told the dear older folk here that my insides were now well done and it was time to turn off the pellet stove.
They gave me a look.
Hubby is currently looking at ways to "accidentally" dismantel the thing
*ribbit*

Privacy
7 people(4 adults, 3 children) + 3 bedrooms=none
So we decided to switch around the rooms. Originally gma and gpa in one room, the boys in one, baby girl in another and my hubby and I in a living room made into a bedroom. Its worked all right. Untill dear ol mother inlaw takes the dogs out in the middle of the night right as your
*ahem*
so to stave off embarrassment we combined the kids into one tiny room, made the make shift bedroom/spare living room, into a play room and reclaimed our bedroom.
Yay for privacy...kind of. I mean when you have this many people in a small house you still lack privacy but at least I can frolic in the nude in my little 10'x 12' space.
Hubby is definately happy.

Nanner bread
Okay I have tried many banana bread recipes and all have been good but this takes the cakes, seriously you'll go bananas for it. HA HA
Okay so here goes (thanks to my online bud Misty for this recipe)
"The recipe goes in this order...
Beat (with mixer on low to med) together:
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
Then add & beat:2 ripe bananas - mashed
Then add & beat:1/4 cup & 1 TBS of whole cultured buttermilk
In a seperate bowl, mix together:
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 3/4 cups plain/all purpose flour
Add to wet mixture and beat.
Fold in 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (I use walnuts, any will work).
Grease and flour large loaf pan. Pour into loaf pan no more than 3/4 full.
Bake at 325 for 1 hour 15 minutes. Cool for about 10 minutes and then remove from pan.
Here are a few tips that make this recipe even better. Make sure you follow the steps in this order instead of just throwing it all together and then beating it. Won't turn out good. Use WHOLE cultured buttermilk - fat free or reduced fat will make a difference and doesn't turn out as good. Make sure you don't use self rising flour in place of the all purpose with baking soda and salt. Most recipes it doesn't matter but this one it does. It definitely turns out different and not near as good. Start checking doneness by inserting a toothpick into center after about an hour since ovens do vary so much. You don't want to cook it too long and dry it out. If you use a small or medium loaf pan, you will have extra batter. Instead of throwing it out, spray muffin tins and bake for about 17-19 minutes on those."
I dont have any pictures to share, we ate it up that fast but we make this often here now. Thanks again Misty from NC!
*Buttermilk makes a huge difference in this recipe as opposed to others so if you dont have buttermilk and can't find any you can make your own by curdling your milk with 1 tblsp fresh squeezed lemon juice to 1 cup milk. Let sit 10 minutes before adding into your recipe. Enjoy!

Ca c'est bon
Means thats good in cajun.
We took my son and neice to their first movie theater movie recently. The princess and the frog. It was awesome. It was the old traditional illustrations of Disney with the classic ellements of movies like Hercules, Emporers New groove, and Cinderella all in one.
The message of how important love is over all else and hard work. Very nice. Also refreshing to see a darker complected Disney leading lady.
About time Disney, good job.
It was great, the kids sat with their snack packs staring in awe the entire time. How cool, now if only they still had drive ins around here for them to experience. Now those are good memories, sitting in the ol' blue hatch back, in my jammies with a tupperware of home popped pop corn and the little speaker hanging on our drivers side door, good times....ca c'est bon!
