I've been out of commission for a couple of weeks. Why? Because someone broke my laptop but no one will confess to it. I was actually blogging when I went upstairs for a sec and that's when it happened. Remember my very first blog, the one where I said I wish I had cameras recording all of the time? Well this would have been a perfect time. No one knows who did it. Diggy was on campus, so we can eliminate him. Tot and Nell were with their father, so not them either. I can't get a straight answer out of anyone! It's so frustrating.
However, I did get a lot of cleaning done and I even started sewing again! I'm so excited. I realized that I spend an awful lot of time on the computer when I should be doing other things. I have to make dinner now, running a little late. I will catch you guys up on the past two weeks asap!

Boys to Men
Diggy is sick of me asking about his girlfriend. I was just trying to be concerned and supportive. It hurt my feelings a little. Buck up Mom, they don't stay little boys forever.
Saving Time and Money
I like to buy the perdue oven roaster that comes seasoned in a bag.

I buy a couple of these when they go on sale at Mars. Even though I am feeding 8 people, the 3 younger ones still don't really eat that much. And on some weeks Tot and Nell aren't here so I actually do have left overs sometimes. I like to take the left overs and either make Quesadillas or enchilidas. Here is one of my favorite recipes: http://www.campbellskitchen.com/recipes/recipedetails?recipeid=50780 The kids really love them and sometimes I make Rice-a-roni Spanish rice and steamfresh southwestern corn to go with them. It's a great way to use leftovers to create a totally different meal. Steam in bag veggies are perfect for the busy mom. I try to buy a few of each when they go on sale.

WEIGHT WATCHERS, MEDIFAST, NUTRISTYSTEM????
I need to lose weight. I can't say the kids never gave me anything. I was 104 lbs before my first kid and now I'm 185 after my 7th. It's said that exercising gives you energy. What about having the energy to start in the first place? I really am not just lazy, (okay a little) but The anemia, insomnia, and depression really takes a toll on my energy level. I need to figure out how to work out working out into my schedule...

Feeling Depressed
Not sure what is really wrong with me today. I miss Diggy. I have to accept the fact that he is "grown" has his own life and his own friends. He was a big help. He seems so different now. He has a girlfriend and he hardly comes home. I don't want t be a grandma anytime soon.
I miss my motorcycle. I used to ride when I just wanted to clear my head. I felt so free.
I miss having a husband, sometimes. Are there any men, as normal as I am, who would date a single mom of seven? Please note I said as normal as I am. It's like age. I'll go my age or higher, but not younger. Same for normalacy. Same or more but not less.
Just because I do not work a job outside of the home does not mean that I do not work. I have seven kids, that is work, that is a REAL job.
Nema, D, and Dev seem to argue ALL the time.
Sometimes...I just want to sleep....
Shayla's laptop is not working. боже мой!
I talked to Tot on oovoo yesterday. It was nice. We talked so long I almost forgot to pick Nema up from dance. oops.
My white blood cell count is down and my Cholesterol is up. I don't know what that means, my doctor wants to see me next week. That should be fun, trying to schedule an appointment for myself betwixt the appointments for the kids.
I like the Big Bang Theory and I am an ID addict. Random thought.

I AM TIRED
well I made it through another week. ballet and tap for Nema today. Swan wasn't going to get the boys because Fuzzy had a runny nose but I had a date. Swan gets the boys regularly on Friday's from 3 to 7 p.m. I got stood up. I played in makeup and tried to create a Woody from Toy Story look. That is one of my hobbies. Check out my other blog here: http://honeyssweeteyes.blogspot.com/ I got my toes done and I soaked in the tub. Still tired.
