The Sneaky Chef

October 12, 2009Food0
It's time to make a diet change. I love pasta. I love carbs. There's no way around that. I like fruits, but vegetables are gross. But if I keep eating pasta all the time, I am going to end up diabetic and I will probably die of starvation. So it's time to take some precautionary...

Island Chicken

Last night I made Island Chicken. This recipe is from Sandra Lee. I just love her and her food. I found the recipe online, but mine came from her “Cooking Made Light” cookbook. I don't like hot pineapple, so I kept some uncooked for myself to eat. And I only had chicken tenders on hand,...

Do you think….

October 2, 2009Randomness0
Do you think I could find some fabric like the picture below and get away with making curtains for my eating area in my kitchen with them? I have this pattern on my background on my computer at work and my laptop. I love it. I love stripes. I love these colors. I just love...

Today marked one year since my dear dad passed awa Today marked one year since my dear dad passed away. 💔 

I woke up early and saw the sun rise, then made the kids breakfast and went into work for a while. I knew if I sat around all day, I’d be sad…and my dad wouldn’t want that. 

When I got home, the kids and I sprinkled some of his ashes under the trees we planted in his memory. Then we hopped on the kayaks and sprinkled some by the buoy straight out from our house. Dannie and I listened to some voicemails he left me. It was so good to hear his voice. I listen to them sometimes just to hear him say “Hey Mo!”. 🥰 

I worked on a puzzle for a few minutes (because that’s how I spent a lot of my time when he was sick and after he died) before taking Dannie to hockey. On the way home from her game, my alarm went off for the time he died. So I had a good cry listening to “Miss You All The Time” by OAR (which is my alarm ringtone). Chuck made me a delicious dinner and then I put the kids to bed. Before bed, I curled up on the couch and watched a show with Chuck. 

I spent time thinking of him today and also doing everyday things. Because that is what living with grief and missing someone is. There are moments to stop and remember and honor them, but also mostly doing everyday things.

I love you, dad and I miss you tons. I can’t believe you’ve been gone a whole year. I wish you were here to talk to about and enjoy all these everyday things with us. 😘
Dannie’s @furyaaa_hockey team took 2nd place in Dannie’s @furyaaa_hockey team took 2nd place in a tournament last weekend. This was the longest game I’ve ever been to. 3 15 minute periods, ice between 2nd and 3rd, then three over times which was about 30 seconds from being a shootout before the other team scored. It was so fun to watch these girls play their hearts out! ❤️🏒
The kids and I had a great day at Valleyfair today The kids and I had a great day at Valleyfair today! 🎢
Our summer training program (STP) for hockey ended Our summer training program (STP) for hockey ended last week. This was my car every Friday for both girls to skate then Dannie’s goalie practice. It takes up our mornings for a big chunk of summer. With all three kids playing, we were at the rink 5 mornings a week. But it is also the most requested to do again by all three kids. ❤️🏒🥅

The kids had a blast when we grabbed food from chi The kids had a blast when we grabbed food from chipotle and ate it on the floor in the house! I’m guessing there will be a few more times doing this as the build continues. So much fun! 🌮

True story of why I’m a nutcase. While sitting o True story of why I’m a nutcase. While sitting on the boat recently, watching the kids play and listening to the house be built, I panicked. Crap! We should have put our house the other way. Left side on the right, right side on the left. That tree will be in our way! WHAT HAVE WE DONE?! 
.
So I immediately text Chuck who is working and tell him about how I am worried almost to tears about this. That we messed up.
.
It isn’t something we can do anything about even if we maybe should have done it the other way, which is probably nonsense. But we love this tree. And it’s going to add to our amazing view. And I want to plant another one on the other side one day anyway. And that big open spot will have a deck and porch behind the main floor garage. And what...I may have to turn my head slightly to see the lake better?🙄
.
Yep. I’m a nutcase. I don’t worry about the things right in front of me. Or even things I should worry about. Nope. Just things that can’t be changed...now that’s where my worry shines! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣🤪
