Sorry I haven't been blogging as much as usual. Summer has came and gone and with the back to school grind it takes me awhile to get back in the routine of things. This year, my freshman is on the freshman football team and the jv football team, my seventh grader is in Challenge, Junior Beta Club, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, basketball, and soccer. Between working full time, chauffeuring my kiddos around, cooking supper, entering sweepstakes, cleaning house, and taking care of my dogs, I've been really busy.

Breakfast was at my mother-in-law's today and she made us eggs, fried potatoes, and bacon.
For lunch I made New York Strip Steak which I got marked down at Wal-mart and zesty fries.
Supper was General Tso's Chicken and Shrimp egg rolls which I love! I preheat the oven to 375 degrees, bake both pans for 17 minutes, add the sauce to the chicken and bake everything for 5 more minutes. It's quick, easy, and so delicious! Sorry for my upside down picture LOL Life is messy and not always neat LOL

 

 

I watched The CW's The Flash last night. It is really good and action packed. I'm also loving Gotham. If you love Batman, you will love Gotham. I really like Arrow. Tonight they had the actor from Superman on. It's different from Smallville, but equally good.

I gathered a big bowl of peppers from our garden today, cut them up, and froze them in little bags. I love using them in recipes. It's so rewarding eating things that you grew yourself.

Does anyone else hate doing dishes? It's the chore I put off doing more than any other. My husband is in charge of laundry, my youngest son mows, and my oldest son takes out the trash.

My husband's Dodge Dakota was having problems with the window. It wouldn't roll up, it wasn't out of  track, we could hear the motor, but it would not go up. Finally we took it to the auto shop and $230 later, it's fixed.

Today I did dishes, cleaned out the refrigerator, cleaned the stove, vacuumed, and cleaned the microwave.
