The one where a lady teaches them to play the violin? I love that movie.

Lean on Me is a good one too, though his methods would NOT fly in most schools.. can you imagine locking kids into a school!

Are you kidding me? I have been crying all week. I hate being this sappy. I feel like a dang goober. I actually had a total panic freak out thing last night because Mikalah has this little sore on her lip. Its NOT a cold sore.. I dont even know what it is. Its just a little red dot in the middle of her lip. She said she bit it. Most likely... but I still had a cow about it.

Then today Alex's teacher was telling me how much she just loved him.. and how great he is doing.. all that jazz.. and then she said, You are just doing the BEST job with him! I mean.. Sure, I know.. But it made me cry all over again! Im a ding dong.

Then yesterday.. Oy. I Cried all freaking day.

Anyhow... Dinner? Oh yeah. Hot dogs, tater tots, green beans, and rice a roni. Just because I wanted some rice a roni.

Aw!! You have double the hormones going amuck!!! Congrats on Alex!!

mmm, sounds good.
I have chicken thighs defrosting in the fridge. Trying to decide what evil creation to make it into this weekend.
Do I try something new, and have the boys go Or do I make the usual.. but I'm getting bored with the ordinary and usual lately.

I hear ya. I have been doing some reading online looking up new recipes. I am trying to get a decent stock pile of easy to make casserole type dishes for hubby to make- should I go out of commission for any length of time.

It's uper easy.

Put about 8- 10 chicken thighs into crockpot. Mix together about a cup of apricot jam, one envelope of Lipton onion soup mix, one can of drained pineapple tidbits or chunks,and about 1/4 cup of reserved liquid. I also add some crushed red pepper for some bam. 1/2 teaspoon? Pour over the chicken. I usually cook the frozen chicken thighs for about 3- 4 hours. Thawed I don't know. At the end, thicken the juice with some cornstarch. Usually about 2-3 tablespoons to 1/4 cup of water. Mix into the sauce, and let thicken. Serve over the rice.


Yummy!!
My 15 DD loves this recipe. And it is so easy!!!

 

[staley7580]
