Breakfast for Dinner!!

So it's that time again... finals are coming...

You may be asking yourself, what does a crazy-busy single mother/full time student do for dinner at night when she has two mouths to feed that can't skip dinner to continue getting that precious needed study time? Well, since you asked...

Breakfast for dinner!! The girls were super excited. And to make things even faster and clean-up even easier, I remembered I bought one of those shake and pour pancake mixers about a month ago that I hadn't opened yet... no messy mixing bowl and whisk or anything!!



I was beyond stoked that dinner was going to be so easy and quick. I moved last nights frying pan and this mornings breakfast pan to the back burners... turned on the two front and got everything ready for scrambled eggs and pancakes. (Yeah, I didn't do my dishes today or last night.. what of it?!)



While the first pancake is cooking, I grab four eggs. The girls are begging me to let them help crack the eggs, but I said no, I really didn't have the time to clean up a mess tonight. I'm so mean. So anyway, I start the eggs cooking and by the time I get back to the pancake and get it on a plate, I figure the batter needs to be shaken again before pouring another one. I give it one super hard shake over my right shoulder and batter goes EVERYWHERE.. All I feel is this thick glob plop down my shoulder and on my leg. My foot is covered in batter... I totally forgot to put the cap back on first...

I burst out laughing. The girls are looking at me like I'm crazy, but then jump at the chance to dip their fingers in the batter dripping down my oven and put it in their mouths. I told them to wash their hands and then started cleaning up when I saw a camera flash...



Gotta love Jayruh! You can't even begin to see the extent of the mess that was all over the front of me... but it was dripping down the entire front of my body all the way to my foot.

I really need to find a new spot to put the camera where they can't reach. This is the last picture that was taken on my old camera before it was mysteriously broken... that's definitely Angelina's foot... So I know who the culprit was.




Anyway, I salvaged enough batter from scraping the inside of the container with a spoon so I was able to make one more pancake. The girls still got to have their breakfast for dinner and they loved it!

So now my kitchen is covered in pancake batter. Which is slighter worse than yesterday's kitchen disaster... but I still hadn't finished cleaning up yesterday's kitchen disaster!! see this jug of water?



Yeah, about half of that splashed down my cabinets (leaking inside and wetting all the plastic bags I keep down there), all over my floor, and of course all over myself.. How did I accomplish this? I got the idea of re-using my plastic water bottles.. I absolutely hate dirtying a dish... I go to extremes to avoid doing it at times... So I love the plastic bottles I can grab and go, but to save money, I figured I would just reuse them a few times before recycling them... and while I was pouring the fifth bottle, the cap of the jug just came right off and it GUSHED out... it's kind of a trend that's been going on lately. Stuff spilling all over, that is... I guess kitchen spills are becoming a trend too. At least that time it was just water. Hence the pink comforter blanket still laying on the kitchen floor.. it was the closest thing to me when the water poured out everywhere so I left it on the floor while I got the cabinets dry.



The plastic bags were being aired out so they didn't smell like mildew from the water. My kitchen is a disaster...

When I stepped down and my foot landed in something cold and squishy I came down with another case of the giggles. I had to grab my phone and start taking all these pictures that I put in this post.



So needless to say, tonight will not be as productive as it needs to be. Which means I probably wont get enough sleep... which is frustrating with having epilepsy because I'm way more seizure prone when I'm not rested... but it was definitely hilarious. I am amazed that so many times it's the littlest things that set me off and get me upset, and other times, things that I could legitimately be like "Oh crap that freaking sucks, this just totally set me back for what I needed to get done" about don't phase me. hmmmm... I should probably go clean that up now... LMAO (JK I did that BEFORE the blog, but I still SHOULD do the dishes... ;)

This is another place I stepped in it RIGHT AFTER cleaning my foot up.. rofl..


You can't tell in this picture, but my cabinet next to the oven is COVERED..


And you can see where little fingers were licking the batter off of the oven :)

Why I love Justin Bieber

First off, the kid has an awesome voice...



Secondly, he's adorable...



Wanna know what the big deal is about this kid? Besides the fact that he is amazingly talented...

One of the main reasons I like him is because his songs and videos are definitely age-appropriate... Don't know how long it will last, but the most action Justin has gotten in a video is a peck on the cheek... the kids in the video are having a good time dancing (without being all over eachother) and just hanging out (I know, I know, it is without parental supervision lol.. but still)... this compared to a Miley Cyrus video (who is just one year older than Justin I might add)... wow... and I like Miley, don't get me wrong, but which would I rather have my daughters watching and copying dance moves from?

Justin Bieber


Miley Cyrus- Party in the USA
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M11SvDtPBhA

and don't even get me started on the differences between the way the girls are dressed in each video...

(Yes, that is her bra hanging out of the front of her shirt)

Think back to 3LW... this video was recorded when they were 16, 17 and 14 years old...

3LW


YIKES!!

And Justin's songs are not nearly as intense as other songs by groups like Immature... and each member of this group was 14 when they sang the following... shirtless at times... and lying in bed at others..

Immature


Then there's Justin Bieber at a bowling alley with friends singing about his first love...

Justin Bieber


Again I ask you, which dancers would I rather my girls immitate??

If you guessed Britney Spears when she was 17 doing "One More Time"... you're out of your mind.

I like Justin. I like the image that he is portraying... I like that his songs and his videos are fun and light-hearted. It's like he's not trying to sell music to strictly the adult population. He's being a kid and I totally respect him for that. He brings me back to elementary school and the way I felt about my crushes.. lol.. I sit back and smile and reminisce when his songs play. Also, The kids in the videos aren't bumping and grinding and acting way too mature for their age. They are having fun just being kids. Justin Bieber is awesome. Which is why I went out and bought his CD yesterday, to show him support...

and that's kind of a big deal for me, because I the last CD I bought was the "504 Boys" when I was 13 and in the 8th grade ...

Wobble Wobble!!


(yeahhh... Justin Bieber would have totally been more age appropriate)... and the fact that Justin's new CD could possibly hold a golden ticket that would win you a trip to the Bahamas all expenses paid to see him in concert didn't influence my decision to buy the CD at ALL... okay, that was a total lie... LMAO

Kids and Prayer ~ cute!!

KIDS AND PRAYER

3-year-old Reese :
'Our Father, Who does art in heaven,
Harold is His name.
Amen.'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


A little boy was overheard praying:
'Lord, if you can't make me a better boy,
don't worry about it.
I'm having a real good time like I am.'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


After the christening of his baby brother in church,
Jason sobbed all the way home in the back seat of the car.
His father asked him three times what was wrong.
Finally, the boy replied,
'That preacher said he wanted us brought up in a Christian
home, and I wanted to stay with you guys.'


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


One particular four-year-old prayed,
'And forgive us our trash baskets
as we forgive those who put trash in our baskets.'

A Sunday school teacher asked her children as they
were on the way to church service,
'And why is it necessary to be quiet in church?'
One bright little girl replied,
'Because people are sleeping.'


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


A mother was preparing pancakes for her sons, Kevin 5, and
Ryan 3. The boys began to argue over who would get the
first pancake. Their mother saw the opportunity for a moral

'Let my brother have the first pancake, I can wait.'
Kevin turned to his younger brother and said,
' Ryan , you be Jesus !'


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


A father was at the beach with his children
when the four-year-old son ran up to him,
grabbed his hand, and led him to the shore
where a seagull lay dead in the sand.
'Daddy, what happened to him?' the son asked.
'He died and went to Heaven,' the Dad replied.
The boy thought a moment and then said,
'Did God throw him back down?'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


A wife invited some people to dinner.
At the table, she turned to their six-year-old daughter and
said, 'Would you like to say the blessing?'
'I wouldn't know what to say,' the girl replied.
'Just say what you hear Mommy say,' the wife answered.
The daughter bowed her head and said,
'Lord, why on earth did I invite all these people to
dinner?'

Child Slavery and Haiti's Orphans.. What Can You Do?

If you're anything like me, you've probably financially given as much as possible to the Haiti relief fund. With money starting to get tight, and still having the uncontrollable urge to help in any way shape or form, it's time to look for other ways to help. Here is one way we can ALL help..

Haitian orphans are extremely vulnerable right now. There are reports of human traffickers abducting the orphaned children. There is evidence of children being stolen amid the death and destruction in Haiti. There are reports of unauthorised people taking children by road to the neighbouring Dominican Republic and of planes illegally loading children before they left the airport.

We have documented around 15 case of children disappearing from hospitals and not with their own family at the time," Luc Legrand, an adviser to Unicef said. "Unicef (United Nations Children's Fund) has been working in Haiti for many years and we know the problem with trade of children in Haiti and unfortunately many of these trade networks have links with international 'market'.... See More
"This is going on, this is happening now, and we are starting to have the first evidence of that, this is unquestionable."
Rupert Colville, a spokesman for the office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, said child trafficking in Haiti was "an existing problem and could easily emerge as a serious issue over the coming weeks and months".

Take Action for Haiti’s Orphans

• The United States government has issued humanitarian parole for the few hundred orphans that were already matched with adoptive parents in the United States prior to the earthquake.
• There are still over 50,000 orphans left in Haiti after the earthquake. These children have no one looking out for them. Some orphanage workers are reporting that they are overseeing 50-100 children per worker, with food and water running out or already gone.
• You can make a difference!

Contact the following government officials from Florida and either call, fax or write to them. Pray first and be polite, straight forward and brief. Below is a sample of what to say. Feel free to copy exactly if you wish:

“Thank you for supporting the humanitarian parole for the children who were already matched with a family in the United States. BUT, we must do something for the orphans who were not yet matched. There were thousands in orphanages with documentation before the earthquake. These children ARE extremely vulnerable right now and must be granted the same humanitarian parole. Where do you stand on expanding humanitarian parole for them? What actions are you taking to ensure that they are safe?”

Also, you can contact the Haitian Embassy at www.haiti.org as well.

What is humanitarian parole?
Humanitarian parole is an extraordinary measure, sparingly used to bring an otherwise inadmissible alien into the United States for a temporary period of time due to a very compelling emergency. Not that humanitarian parole may only be requested for persons who are outside of the United States. Parole into the United States may be granted temporarily on a case by case basis for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit.

Quotes I like by Demetri Martin

- ‘Sort of’ is such a harmless thing to say. Sort of. It’s just a filler..... Sort of – it doesn’t really mean anything. But after certain things, 'sort of' means everything. Like after ‘I love you’.... or ‘You’re going to live’.... or ‘It’s a boy.’


- I saw a guy at a party wearing a leather jacket and I thought, ‘That is cool.’ But then I saw another guy wearing a leather vest and I thought, ‘That is not cool’. Then I figured it out: ‘Cool’ is all about leather sleeves.



- Whenever I investigate a smell, I find that the answer is always bad. It’s never: ‘What IS that? *sniff* .........muffins!’


- I got some new pajamas with pockets in ‘em. Which is great, because before that, I used to have to hold stuff when I slept. But now I’m like, ‘Where’s my planner? There it is. “Keep sleeping.” All right, perfect.’


- I like fruit baskets because it gives you the ability to mail someone a piece of fruit without appearing insane. Like, if someone just mailed you an apple you’d be like ‘Huh? What the hell is this?’, but if it’s in a fruit basket you’re like ‘This is nice!.



- I feel stupid when I write the word banana. Its like, how many n-a’s are on this thing? ‘Cause I’m like ‘Ba-n-a … keep going. n-a n-a … damn.’


- I wanna make a jigsaw puzzle that’s 40,000 pieces. And when you finish it, it says ‘go outside.’


- One of my friends has a stutter and a lot of people think that’s a bad thing, but to me that’s just like starting certain words with a drum roll. That’s not an impediment, that’s suspense! What’s he going to say? Car?? …or Carnival?? …Carburetor!?!? Man…





- A drunk driver is very dangerous. So is a drunk backseat driver if he’s persuasive. ‘Dude make a left.’ ‘Those are trees…’ ‘Trust me .’


- I like the beach. I like to get there really early before everyone else shows up and take like thirty bottles with notes in them and throw them into the water. Then I wait for everyone to come to the beach and when someone goes to pick up one of the bottles, I go up
behind them because when they open it there’s a note saying ‘I’m standing right behind you.’


- I like sports; I like professional football. I like to get to the stadium and see the games live, you know. And I paint my chest before I leave the house. But I don’t have many friends, you know, so I usually just do punctuation and tack on a group already in progress. But sometimes it works out kind of weird because we ended up on TV one time and it said ‘JETS?’


- I went into a clothes store and a lady came up to me and said “if you need anything, I’m Jill”. I’ve never met anyone with a conditional identity before. What if I don't need anything? Who are you?


- The digital camera is a great invention because it allows us to reminisce.... Instantly.


- I used to play sports. Then I realized you can buy trophies. Now I’m good at everything.


- I saw a door that said exit only. So I entered through it and went up to the guy working there and said “I have good news. You have severely underestimated that door over there. By like a hundred percent.”


- I don’t like thank you cards because i don’t know what else to say. It’s like what to I put on the inside?.... “See Front”





- So I was eating this cereal, and I had all these questions and comments. Luckily there was a number on the box. So I called, and said, ‘I have a question: Is this cereal as delicious as i think it is? And I have a comment: yes.’”


- I feel like my washing machine is sneaky. I put clothes in there and detergent and I hear all this noise and this turning around then I open the lid to see what’s going on and it’s like,... ‘…What man we’re just hanging out in here. There’s nothing happening, don’t worry about it. I’m a washing machine, not a Show-you-how-I-do-it machine.’


- I noticed that there are no B batteries. I think that’s to avoid confusion, cause if there were you wouldn’t know if someone was stuttering. ‘Yes, hello I’d like some b-batteries.’ ‘What kind?’ ‘B-batteries.’ ‘What kind?!?’ ‘B-batteries!!!’ and D-batteries that’s hard for foreigners. ‘Yes, I would like de batteries.’


- I was on the street. This guy waved to me, and he came up to me and said, “I’m sorry, I thought you were someone else.” And I said, “I am"


- About a month ago I got a cactus. A week later, it died. I was really depressed because I was like ‘Dang! I am less nurturing than a desert.’

**New as of 02.04.10**

- I like parties, but I don't like piñatas because the pinata promotes violence against flamboyant animals. Hey, there's a donkey with some pizzazz. Let's kick its ass. What I'm trying to say is, don't make the same Halloween costume mistake that I did.

- Employee of the month is a good example of how somebody can be both a winner and a loser at the same time



- I like clothes, you know. I dig fabrics. One of my favorite clothing patterns is camouflage. Because when you're in the woods it makes you blend in. But when you're not it does just the opposite. It's like, 'Hey, there's an A-hole.' But when you're in the woods you're like, 'Is there an A-hole out here?' They look like trees.

- My favorite fruit is grapes. Because with grapes, you always get another chance. 'Cause, you know, if you have a crappy apple or a peach, you're stuck with that crappy piece of fruit. But if you have a crappy grape, no problem - just move on to the next. 'Grapes: The Fruit of Hope.'

- My plumbing is all screwed up. Because it turns out, I do not own a garbage disposal

- I keep a lighter in my back pocket all the time. I'm not a smoker, I just really like certain songs

- There's a saying that goes "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones." Okay. How about "Nobody should throw stones." That's crappy behavior. My policy is: "No stone throwing regardless of housing situation." Don't do it. There is one exception though. If you're trapped in a glass house, and you have a stone, then throw it. What are you, an idiot? So maybe it's "Only people in glass houses should throw stones, provided they are trapped in the house with a stone." It's a little longer, but yeah.



(this next one is awful... sorry)
- If I ever saw an amputee being hanged, I would just yell out letters

- There's a store in my neighborhood called Futon World. I like that name, "Futon World." Makes me think of a magical place that gets less and less comfortable over time.

- I like video games, but they are very violent. I want to create a video game in which you have to help all the characters who have died in the other games. "Hey, man, what are you playing?" "Super Busy Hospital. Could you leave me alone? I'm performing surgery! This guy got shot in the head, like, 27 times!"

bumper stickers- random rant

Bumper stickers drive me absolutely batty... let me rephrase that, bumper stickers that make no sense to ME drive me batty. okay.. A. Why would you intentionally put a bumper sticker on your car if it's not intended to be understood by everyone... example.. (13.1)... (CH)... (MVY)... (DK)....? Really?? what does that even mean?? B. Can you not see the agony you have caused me?? I hate you. and C. Why is this even blog worthy??!

I wanna take some random numbers or letters and put them on the back of my car. or better yet, some random words... (WIRE) or (ROPE) or (PETUNIA) ... but knowing my luck, they would be acronyms for something... Part ExtraTerrestrial United Nudist International Association...

bills bills bills

So I went to check my mail this morning on the way back from taking Angelina to school, hoping that there was a check from financial aid in there... No check..

UGH

but there were like 3 bills...

I put them back in my mailbox...

Hopefully if I wish really really hard, when I check my mail this afternoon, they will have vanished...

Oh yea? well YOUR MOM needs to work on sequences at home cuz she doesn't understand it

So this is what bothers me about having 20+ kids in a classroom... These papers (see the attached picture) get sent home weekly.. and every week Jayruh's is "wrong"... If the teacher would take the time to find out what's going on instead of just telling me Jayruh isn't doing well with any of these assignments, she would see Jayruh can totally understand the concept of sequence. I sat down with her the other day and worked on a few of the take-home assignments.

Basically Jayruh cuts out four pictures. Then puts them in order according to which of the pictures happened first, second, third, last. We did one the other day with three pictures... and Jayruh got them "wrong" and I was frustrated... I'm like "Jayruh, tell me what is going on in each picture and then tell me which order they go in"

And here is what I saw going on in the picture.. Picture 1 - Girl picking apples from trees and putting them in baskets.. Picture 2- Girl taking baskets of apples to her "Annie's Apples" truck.. Picture 3- Girl stirring pot and making applesauce..
And here is what Jayruh told me was going on in the pictures.. Picture 1- Girl picking apples from the tree.. Picture 2- Girl cooking different kinds of things with the apples.. Picture 3- Girl taking the rest of the apples to her friends..

Clearly Jayruh doesn't have a problem with putting things in sequence.. she just is not interpreting things the same way that everyone else is.. but it's not that she's dumb and can't do the assignment..

In the attached picture.. the sequence was supposed to be Pic 1- bear with snowball in hand.. Pic 2- Bear with smaller snowball that was beginning to melt.. Pic 3- bear with even smaller snowball that was melting and even bigger puddle by his feet.. Pic 4- bear with no snowball in hand..

And here is how Jayruh interpreted it... Pic 1- bear with no snowball.. Pic 2-bear made a snowball.. Pic 3- snowball starts melting.. Pic 4- snowball melts more..

Like I can totally understand how she is mixing these things up.. I don't think I need a parent-teacher conference to tell me that Jayruh needs to work on these things more.. She understands that things go in a particular order... She's just looking at each picture in a different way. Trust me, we do these things at home, and when she sees a certain picture, she interprets what's happening differently than I do. And who's to say SHE isn't right? Really, our judgement of a snapshot of a story can be totally wrong.

I guess it's hard, because every teacher she's ever had has been blown away by her ability to understand things.. I mean she was talking in sentences at age 2. Her memory is absolutely amazing. She's a very intelligent girl. And to have this teacher telling me she's not, irks me..

typical day in my life.. Fall Semester 09

A typical day in my life

6:20 AM~ first alarm goes off (music on the radio station)
6:30 AM~ second alarm goes off if I haven't gotten up to turn off the first one ( this one is a loud annoying beeping sound that I can't sleep through)
** MAKE COFFEE **
6:45 AM~ wake up Jayruh (in order to keep her in a good mood, I rub her back and sing silly songs and tell silly jokes until she wakes up, then we usually talk about funny things or read a book for a good 10 minutes)
7:00 AM~ make Jayruh breakfast, get the clothes I picked out for her the night before and begin searching for missing sock (lol) Pack her lunch for the day and say "Jayruh I'm going to turn the TV off if you don't start eating"... sometimes this works, sometimes I have to actually turn it off...
7:15 AM~ get Jayruh dressed, help her brush her teeth, do her hair (get yelled at because her hair is so fine and curly that it hurts her for me to even look at it)
7:20 AM~ carry sleeping Angelina out of bed and to the car with Jayruh
7:30 AM~ listen to "Stupid News" on Kiss 105.3 and answer a million questions on the way to Jayruh's school like "what does 'reason' mean? why are you waiting until you get married to have another newborn baby? why do I have to do good in school? why does Santa Clause come at night?"

7:40 AM~ finally make it through the morning traffic and drop Jayruh off at school (her school is less than a mile away) by this time Angelina is usually awake

12:00 AM~ Bed!!
6:20 AM~ fml

Random things I think about- Yoplait Pink lids

So as I'm licking the pink lid of my Yoplait yogurt today, something occurs to me. This is utterly disgusting. I mean, the idea of sending in the lids and Yoplait donating 10 cents for each lid for breast cancer awareness is awesome... but even on the commercials, the women are licking the lids and then putting them in envelopes. How gross. I wonder who opens the letters. Do they wear gloves? With this swine flu scare going around, who would want that job? On second thought, with the economy the way it is, I'm sure many people would take that job...

And then I wonder, are there people that actually open up all of those envelopes and count the saliva covered lids? Or does Yoplait just have a set amount of money that they are going to donate regardless of whether or not people actually send the pink tops in? Is it just a ploy to get people to buy their product, under the impression that they are helping by donating money to breast cancer awareness? I applaud Yoplait for what they are doing, but why not just tell everyone when they buy their yogurt, a portion of the money goes to charity?

Yuck... can you imagine being a mail carrier? Thousands of people licking all over those tops before putting them in the envelope... or even without the Yoplait tops, people lick envelopes all the time. Gross..
