Sleepless in Seattle

okay I have had a few babies

but I will readily admit

I am not an expert

especially where teething in involved

The BOSS

is Sleepless

which as you may have inferred

means I am as well

We...the two of us are resenting

our state of "unrest"

if you have any magical ideas

please share

Teething tablets are OUT

a recent discovery showed caffeine to be an ingredient

so we have been using some baby orajel

the prob seems to be that it needs re-application throughout the night and into the wee hours of the AM

so this is my shout out

please if you have any hints to prevent our sleeplessness here in Seattle

feel free to post any and all ideas in the comment section

sorry this is not so romantic as the cinema version

what can I say

This is how Glamorous my life is

don't be to envious

really

just another dinner post

My new friend Eryn served her mission in Japan and when she came over for the girls night she taught us how to make this great summer dish

I couldn't remember everything she did so I improvised a bit

But it turned out great so here you go

here is what you need

3 eggs

1 carrot

1 cucumber

( I used an English cucumber, but reg will work)

tomatoes ( not pictured)

I added Tofu

cut the carrots, cucumber, & tomato

press tofu

then brown each side in a bit of olive oil

stir eggs in separate container then put in a frying pan with a little olive oil

flip until both sides are done then cut in strips

boil spaghetti noodles

drain

add a bit of olive oil

about 1/3 cup of brown sugar

about 1/2 cup of soy sauce

5 of 6 garlic cloves pressed

place noodles in bowl

add cut veggies, tofu, & eggs

and ENJOY !!!!

I am not great at recipes

mostly I just throw ingredients in until it tastes good

I hope the amounts work for you

Let me know how it goes !!

a moment

a friend who I went to elementary, junior high, & high school with

was in a plane accident

she along with her husband are in critical condition burn unit

and the flight instructor was killed in the crash

We have not been close the last years but I have checked her blog daily as she is creative, stylish, & all in all very inspiring. She and her husband have 4 children, two boyz and two girlz.

I have always felt very connected to her because when I was pregnant with our first daughter Emma she was pregnant with her first Claire. We lost Emma & she had Claire very close to Emma's due date. I have loved to see her daughter grow older, it has felt like a piece of Emma still exists for me.

I cannot even find words to describe the sadness I felt at hearing of the accident. Even now I sit trying to put words together to express my thoughts, I cannot.

I guess I would just like to request that you all keep her in your prayers.

You can find details here

and in her sister's blog here
