Teds Montana Grill coupon!

You've gotta try the Vermejo!  Ok, so only if you like mushrooms!  it's this chicken sandwish with monteray jack cheese, grilled mushrooms & mushrooms.  SO SO SO good...Print this coupon & you can get $5 off a purchase of $15 or more!

Tugging at my heartstrings!

So as I’m dropping my baby, OK so he's almost 5, off this morning he's asking for one more hug & one more kiss!  As I race out the door I say to another Mom "how many kisses & hugs can you give before you leave"!?  So then I'm in the car driving & thinking how terrible it is for me to be thinking that! It hits me that this is one of those things that stinks about being a working Mom! I don’t get the time to enjoy these hugs and kisses that he's so dying to give me today. He’s not going to be this young and affectionate with his Mama forever. I wish there were more time to enjoy these little things!

I so wish I'd of finished school to be a teacher!

Seeing my son at pre-school everday & having fun in there and engaging with the kids myself, makes me really wish I'd of gone to school to be a teacher as I'd wanted too in my younger years!  Too much fun & not enough focus & studying pulled me 100% the opposit direction & had me not even finishing school!  Oh if I only knew then what I know now...

Next Food Network Star: And the winner is...

Aarti!  I loved her & she really was my favorite all the way through this season!  I missed the finale last night b/c I was watching Big Brother.  Also, the past few weeks it's been nice to watch The Next Food Network Star Monday night when there's nothing on & I can speed through teh commericals on my DVR!  Anyways, I couldn't wait another minute to see who won so even though I've not watched the last episode, I just saw on Foodnetwork.com that Aarti won!  YEA...so happy for her!  really was happy with all three of the final three, just really was rooting for Aarti!  Always sad when the season is over though!  I will watch her show and will be anxious to try some of these Indian recipes!

Great truths that children have learned:

1) No matter how hard you try, you can't baptize cats.
2) When your Mom is mad at your Dad, don't let her brush your hair.
3) If your sister hits you, don't hit her back. They always catch the second person.
4) Never ask your 3-year old brother to hold a tomato.
5) You can't trust dogs to watch your food..
6) Don't sneeze when someone is cutting your hair..
7) Never hold a Dust-Buster and a cat at the same time.
8) You can't hide a piece of broccoli in a glass of milk.
9) Don't wear polka-dot underwear under white shorts.
10) The best place to be when you're sad is Grandma's lap.
