Monday Blues

I hate Mondays. I think it has something to do with a week of work ahead of me. With 6 kids the homework is overwhelming and then there are all the places to be, appointments to keep, etc. It makes me tired to look at the calendar for the week. So, who knows why but here I am on a Monday morning feeling particularly ornery. I think I need a change of attitude. Surely, Monday can't be as bad as I have made it out to be. Ok, so on that thought I am going to list good things about Monday.

1. The kids are gone so I can get the house picked back up after the weekend.
2. I didn't get sick so I could go to the gym this morning.
(I am stretching it, this is harder than I thought)
3. Ah, the house is quiet for a moment (see number 1)
4. New week new opportunity for growth?
5. ?

Alright, I think I am done for now. On to the next thought.

Have you noticed that Drew Carey is such a nerd? The morning news just ended as I am sitting here writing and The Price is Right show just came on. So, Drew Carey is the new host and I can't believe he ever got to star status. Bob Barker at least had a presence of refinement about him. And, I can't believe with my memory that I just pulled Bob Barker's name out of my head. Shocker! I do need to clarify though that I don't watch The Price is Right. Boring!

So, I am going to start my day now and my goal for today is to work on being positive. Wish me luck.

Cute header! I agree that I have a love/hate relationship with Mondays! I hate that my house is a disaster after the weekend, but I love getting it clean and back in order! And the semi quiet part- someday!!!

Broccoli Salad

My children have this thing for broccoli salad and they beg me to make it weekly. Every time I make it I become mom of the week around here which I happen to like! One would think that it might be odd for kids to love broccoli salad, and I am not necessarily thinking it is normal, but I do know it is pretty tasty. I decided for today's post to share my recipe. Beware, I am all about easy so don't expect something elaborate, and I cook for a crowd so if you want to make this adjust to your size of family. 1/2 package of broccoli florets from Costco (chopped) 1/2 red cabbage (shredded) 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of Craisins 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of real bacon bits 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of unsalted sunflower seeds 1/2 a bottle of Kraft Creamy Poppyseed Dressing Mix Seriously, if my kids scarf this salad down I promise most kids will.

Questions Answered, Questions Created

Today was Mark's appointment with the pulmonologist at the Huntsman Cancer Institute. I wish I could say that we came away with answers, good or bad, but instead Mark and I just feel confused. We got to the appointment about 15 minutes early which gave us plenty of time to fill out the piles of paperwork. As we were filling out the paperwork we noticed a sign that was posted with the names of each of the doctors and whether each of them were on time or not. According to the sign our doctor was right on time so after finishing the paperwork we sat back expecting that we would get in within a few minutes. Well, a few minutes turned into a half hour, which turned into an hour plus. Finally they called us back to our room and the nurse assured us that the doctor was just writing up a couple prescriptions for the previous patient and then he would be right in. Of course right in meant another 20 minutes or so. The doctor finally came in and proceeded to ask us questions about Ma...

Mmmm, Chocolate!

I have said before that I love photography. My other love is children and my favorite thing to photograph is children. I love capturing their innocent moments. My kids have gotten pretty good at ignoring the camera although Rachael taught Jillian how to say cheese (when the camera was pointed at her) when she was still a baby. Last night I made homemade brownies. They were so good and so easy to make. Of course the kids got to lick the mixing spoons. Since I have so many kids they have to take turn on who gets to lick the spoons though. This time it was the older kids turn. Jillian, being the baby and totally spoiled, still got a utensil to lick. She was so adorable with the spatula that I had to grab the camera.
