Where's The Soy Butter???

When I started hearing about all the peanut butter problems we have been having, tainted batches. I thought I didn't have much to worry about. After all my girls love, love, love soy butter. It's there comfort food. When they are sick and nothing is appetizing. Soy Butter sandwiches always save the day. When lunches are all packed and the girls are out and about. It's soy butter sandwiches they are hoping to find when they open there lunch boxes. In fact I have contemplated making soy butter cookies rather then peanut butter cookies. Of course over the many years of soy butter I can't even bring myself to try it. I love peanut butter to much. That's why when peanut butter was taken of the shelves, it didn't worry me.

What I don't understand is all of the missing soy butter. Trader Joes has always offered great prices on soy butter. So imagine my surprise when I found no soy butter. How is it there was a fully stocked peanut butter aisle. Yet, no soy butter. Here we are a couple weeks later. I have been to 2 Trader Joes, several times and a stop at Safeway specifically for soy butter. All this searching and there is no soy butter to be found. My poor girls are so obviously disappointed with my lunches. They both try to make the best of it. We have been trying sunflower seed butter, turkey sandwiches with cheese... it simply is not the same. It's unclear why this is happening. Hopefully, it won't last to long. Life was so much easier with soy butter.

Sick Days

The last 3 days or so I have spent sick. For some reason my recovery is slow. But I am sure I will be ready for the week starting tomorrow. Here are some things that went through my mind while I lay trapped on the couch or bed unable to move:
1. 25 more things about me
2. Chenoa's homework
3. Drawings for my homework
4. Did Kylee get enough fruit and veggies today?
5. I hope Marc gets home soon
6. I really want some frozen yogurt
7. I am thirsty but I can't get up
8. 25 more things about me
9. I wonder if Marc is on his way home
10.Stop thinking just rest, but I can't sleep my head hurts, I need more medicine but I can't get up.
As you can see it has been a truly eventful couple of days so I will leave you with something fun Kylee and I did before I went and got sick.

We made a bird out of a balloon, she loved it!

Sadly Marc has lost a co-worker and friend to a tragic accident. He was just starting out at BMW and he had his whole life ahead of him. Please keep his family & friends in your thoughts and prayers.

Chenoa-rella and Kylee-rella

Clean up clean up everybody everywhere.... that's what I usually have to sing to get my girls to clean. Lately, I have been home more so they are cleaning even less. Fortunately, this week the girls just helped me out and they kept going and going. After unloading the dishwasher they wiped down the table then even the walls. I was a happy lady that evening:) I even took video to proove it!

New Semester, New Path

I have spent my break trying to slow down and get organized. I work out in the mornings and spend the afternoon with the girls. I still managed to lose my phone. But I feel like I am getting better. Although, maybe I should get a check up. A 28 year really shouldn't have this much trouble with her memory, right? Maybe it was all that studying:)
This week I started back to school. I was so nervous. I am really putting myself out there and trying something completely new. I am taking all art classes. Graphic design and photography which I thought would help with my graphic design classes. I was right they use the same computer program Adobe CS4. Now I want to buy it. Thank goodness I get a student discount. I want to enjoy my life and my family. That means I am not willing to sacrifice my time with my most favorite people. So I am searching for a career that will give me the best of both worlds. I hope this graphic design path is the right ticket.

2009

New Years Eve has come and gone. Every year I am sure to make a New Year's Resolution. Usually one resolution I truly want to work on. This year for some reason I have an unreasonably long list. However, after much thought I have come to realize it all is based with one theme. Slow Down!! Enjoy this absolutely wonderful life I have.
