Mother's Day..

Wait what? Was it Mother's Day? Really? Are you sure?

Yes, this is a big ole dose of sarcasm for your reading pleasure.  I spent my mother's day tucked away in our lovely home spending quality (forced) time with my family.  Some may describe my lovely home as toxic and it has been for the last few days.

Me, D, and RL were all invaded with strep and it has been simply awful.  RL felt better within a day of her shot, but mom and dad not so much.  Parenting on 10% energy is not an easy task and I did not do it successfully.  My kids may or may not have had pop sickles for dinner.

D promises a "do-over" for mother's day.  Its a good thing I pat myself on the back often, cause this rumored "do-over" will never happen.

We must move forward into the week because it is RECITAL week!!! RL's first dance recital!!!! Oh, the excitement!!!

Crock pot chicken

I purchased defrosted chicken from sams and wanted to make a quick crock pot meal.

This is what I had in my pantry. Texmex tomatoes, corn, and fajita seasoning. I really wanted to add black beans, but I was out.





I drained the corn before adding and then added the rest of the ingredients with the chicken.  Cooked on Low for 8 hours.





Piled the mixture in taco bowls, but could be used in crunchy tacos or over rice or just plain.





-This was pretty good.  Didn't blow me a way, but certainly good enough for the 5 minutes it took me to throw it together!!

Weekend Wrap Up

Another packed weekend in the Emory household.  It never stops........never ever ever does it stop.

Friday I presented a scholarship to a Sterlington highschool student.  I really liked the size of the school.  I know that it will be significantly larger by the time my kids go there, but I enjoyed the feel of the school.


I did some more labeling with my new business adventure.  I went labeling crazy.  I love it.









We did many other things that were not photo documented.  Honestly now I can't even remember what those things were!  I have moved on to this crazy week with another one to follow.

This week is a dud in terms of deals, but I will post a couple tomorrow.

Today I am taking my son for labwork.  More test for this sweet baby boy.  :(

Zucchini Spaghetti

 Okay folks, I have exactly 5 weeks and a few days to prepare for my summer beach trip.  However lets call it what it is, I have exactly 5 weeks and a few days before I have to put on a bathing suit and stand shamefully on a beach full of skinny in shape people. I can just imagine beautifully shapped women running bay watch style across the sandy shore. I imagine myself trying to contain overflowing fatty jiggles as I yell at my kids not to eat sand or throw it in each other eyes.

Back to the low carb diet I go. My work roommate was nice enough to remind me of the idea to replace spaghetti with zucchini.  So that is what I did.  I sliced in 1/2 length wise and then boiled for about 8 minutes.







Seasoned with salt and pepper, covered with spaghetti sauce, topped with feta cheese (bc that is all I had) and baked at 350 for about 10 minutes.


Oh my, so good and so filling.  I can actually feel my beach bod being sculpted!!!
