Long time no see

So it's been a while since I've unloaded blog style. Oh don't worry, I still have pent up rage, I just lack the time to sit and put it all on "paper".

I'm tired.

I'm tired of my kid's messy ass rooms. I'm tired of yelling at them to stop fighting, instigating, whining and doing shit they KNOW they shouldn't be doing. I'm tired of Owen not eating SHIT...EVER. I'm tired of work...oh Lord I'm tired of work. I'm tired of looking around this house and seeing a plethora of unfinished jobs. I'm tired of my husband being a crabby ass because he's tired. I'm tired of my ridiculous mess of a basement. I'm tired of dieting (although I'm down 20 lbs. Go me!). I'm tired of sweeping this GD kitchen after every GD meal because my kids don't eat over their plates. How can a kid who doesn't eat shit make such a mess?
I'm tired of being tired.

Did I mention I'm The Pampered Chef's newest consultant?

I'll sleep when I'm dead.

Recipe of the Day

This recipe rocked my socks off!!! It's soooo good. I served it over brown rice.

Orange chicken

1/2 cup Barbecue Sauce (garlic ones are yummy in this)

1/4 cup flour

1/4 cup orange juice

1/4 cup orange marmalade

3 Tbsp. soy sauce

1 tsp. grated gingerroot

8 bone-in chicken thighs (3-1/2 lb.), skin removed ( I use boneless chicken breasts)

Stir barbecue sauce and flour in small bowl with wire whisk until well blended. Add all remaining ingredients except chicken; mix well. Pour sauce mixture evenly over chicken in slow cooker. (Do not stir.) Cover with lid. Cook on LOW for 3 to 5 hours.

Serve chicken topped with the sauce.

"Mom, I have like 6 girlfriends now!"

"Really? 6 huh?"

"Yep, and one of them is really HOT!"

"Uh, do you even know what HOT means?"

"Yes, it means the girl is really pretty"

"Right, so I'm gonna tell ya that you should get use to saying "you're very pretty" and not "you're really HOT". Girls like to hear that they're pretty"

"Uh, you're a mom, what do you know?"

Niiiice.

"Mom, when are you gonna be done with your diet?"

"Not for a long time son. Why?"

"Because I don't want you to be on a special diet, I love you just the way you are."
