I'm glad T won't be driving anytime soon!

Because he's not that great of a driver. You should have seen how many times his driver was thrown from the car or rammed into a tree. Not to mention the fact that both trucks were on fire most of the time he was driving.


And some love from baby A.

Ridiculously Easy... and good... Beef noodle bowl

The only changes I made was to double the sauce and I used pre-cut broccoli and carrot stir-fry veggies. I also used steak that had already been cut into stir-fry strips.

I made this in less that 20 minutes while being pestered unmercifully by my three year old and stopping umpteen times to put a pacifier in the mouth of my screaming 6 week old.

-Oh, and giving credit where credit is due, I got this recipe from K*raft magazine.

Beef Noodle Bowl
1/2 lb. linguine, uncooked
3 cups broccoli florets
3 carrots, peeled, sliced
2 tsp. oil
1 lb. beef sirloin steak, cut into strips
1/4 cup K*RAFT Asian Toasted Sesame Dressing
1 Tbsp. teriyaki sauce

COOK pasta in large saucepan as directed on package, adding vegetables to the boiling water for the last 2 min.

MEANWHILE, heat oil in large nonstick skillet. Add meat; cook until browned on all sides, stirring occasionally. Stir in dressing and teriyaki sauce; cook 2 min. or until sauce is thickened, stirring occasionally.

DRAIN pasta mixture; place in large serving bowl. Add meat mixture; toss to coat.

Stupid, stupid dogs and their stupid owners!!

I'll be the first to admit that I am not a dog lover. Other people's dogs are fine as long as they don't lick me, jump on me, or bark all day or night.

Last night I would have had uninterrupted sleep from 11:00 to 4:00 if it weren't for a stupid, damn dog. At 12:30 I am dreaming and this weird sound woke me up. I run down the hall staggering because I thought Audrey is either whimpering really weird or is having trouble breathing or something else catastrophic. She's asleep. As I wake up a bit and make a bathroom stop, I realize that the stupid chihuahua down the street is barking its head off. That's the sound that woke me from a deep, deep sleep.

Who lets their dog bark for 10 minutes at 12:30 in the morning????

Oh, I know. People who tie their dog up on the front porch to bark at every person, child, car, leaf, and bug that goes past the house.

GRRR!

Baby A's first day at Church

She looked so sweet in her dress.
