What's that smell?

It is this...........I usually buy store brand everything, but I had a coupon for 1.00 off of this little sweet thing. I bit the bullet and bought it. It smells sooo GOOD. I couldn't wait to do laundry when I got home. I'm finally getting caught up after our illness. This may be my new "indulgence". Lord knows Bath and Body works (Which used to be my indulgence) hasn't seen my face in a long time. :(

Stuff

I made this pork tonight for dinner. It was SOOO GOOD. I took a package of thin pork chops and dipped them in an egg. Then covered them in crushed french fried onions and baked them at 350 for abou 40 minutes. Everyone loved them (except Ashley.. who doesn't like anything!)This is a new recipe that I tried last week. Buffalo Chicken Pizza. It was delish. I bought the canned pizza crust. (easy) I cooked it a little first about 7 minutes. Then brushed on blue cheese dressing. I then added chicken strips that I cooked in buffalo chicken wing sauce. topped with cheese and baked it at the temp on the can for about 9 minutes or so. We like a crispy crust pizza. It was really good.

I Made It...

...And I liked it.

I finally did my first sub job. IN PE of all things! I was soooo nervous last night. I only had to sub half day though. It was easy though I felt a little like a fish out of water. The kids are practicing for their P.E. programs with the music teacher. Basically I was "Crowd Control". I had a lot of kids tapping on me, "Teacher, my arm hurts" and "Teacher, she is being mean to me." We even had a girl possibly break her wrist today on the playground. OUCH! Overall I am very excited to go back and do it all over again. I can see myself really enjoying it. I would sign up for Monday, but Charlie has a Doctor follow up. But I'm ready for my next adventure.

Finally Home...

I'm going to make this one very short. We are finally home after 5 long days in the hospital. Charlie had a long bath and looks and smells better. Started to run a temp. again after we got here. (104.3) WHY? He's been fever free for a day and a half? But he did eat a cup of fruit loops and some pulled pork. (What a combination) We are all very tired. Ashley is glad to be sleeping in her own bed tonight too. OH HOW I CAN'T WAIT EITHER. I can almost feel it now! Got the alarm set for midnight to check temp. again and give tylenol if needed. Henry is SICK.. He is running fever and coughing with a VERY sore throat. He has an appointment to see the Doctor tomorrow. I did get to read on my YADA YADA book while in the hospital. I like it can't wait to finish it. I know most or all of you have finished it already. I'm way behind! Well, goodnight for now! Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. We really appreciate them.

Quick update.

We came home for a few minutes to shower and get some needed supplies.
Charlie was sleeping when we left. He is in better spirits today. Even smiled a couple of times today. :) The doctor came in and said they still have a concern over his belly. They are going to run a barrium swallow and I think a barrium enema tomorrow before the Pedi. Surgeon comes in. Still think surgery is possible. Breathing issues are BETTER. They have stopped all breathing treatments. He still has his NG Tube in his belly. They are measuring his abdomen every 4 hours to see if it is getting bigger. His temp is normal so far today. I know this is a little short and random, but I'm in a hurry. Thank you for prayers. We need them. Thank you to all who have called or visited. And thank you for all the goodies and gifts too. We appreciate it all. Also Ashley is felling much better too. She is staying with my mom and dad right now. She is still coughing, but overall is better too. I miss her when we have to be apart. So I worry about both of my kids and my stress level could uses some help.LOL
