Worst Blogger Ever!

I will never have a career in blogging, that's for sure. Ce' la vie! Life is insane and I should probably just learn to accept that this is my "new normal." Oh, how I long for those days when the hubby and I could watch movies in bed all day.

No big updates on us. We've been back in our house since August, which has been really nice. Bug and BooBoo still ask if we're going to the "big house" or the apartment sometimes, which just breaks my heart. They're like elephants, I tell you, yet they can never remember the things I want them to. Funny how that works! Kids still can't have dairy, the Bug still survives mostly on air and BooBoo is still a great eater and has recently started to become a good sleeper again. Life is good!

I do have to say that I'm pretty geeked that I can find Duncan Hines Spice Cake mix dairy free, though. I make the kids pumpkin muffins with a can of pumpkin and 1 box of spice cake mix ... and nothing else (Bug and BooBoo even helped make it, which is why I'm glad these muffins are just for them - LOL!). Wish I could find some kind of organic cake mix to make it with, but who am I kidding, I don't have time to run from store to store to look for things anymore. I get up to Trade Joe's (BooBoo loves the turkey meatballs, by the way) every month or so for some staples and their pumpkin cake mix isn't dairy free.

I wish I had some new, awesome recipe to share, but we've kind of just been getting by with the old standbys lately. We do breakfast for dinner and sandwichs/soup/salad one time a week each, so that's kind of helped shorten the amount of time I'm in the kitchen and decrease the need for new recipes. It's such a relief, meal planning can be stressful!

Hope all are well and I hope to post again soon!

TGIF!

At least that's what I'll be saying tomorrow! The day we finally get to move into our house. (where's my little dancing banana emoticon when I need him?) Finally, we can get back to a somewhat normal life! The next couple weeks will be crazy with moving, our (5th) anniversary and the Bugs 4th birthday and party. But, we'll make it through this just like we make it through everything.
I cannot even imagine sleeping in my bed again, much less waking up in it in the morning! I am so eager to set up my furniture, fill my cupboards and put my decorations back out. I cannot wait! (again, dancing banana would be helpful).
The only thing that is taking my mind off of it is finally getting sucked into the Twilight series. I've read 2 of the 4 books in a week and I'm sure I'll be checking off another by the end of the weekend. Sorry kids, no dairy-free mini-muffins this week ... mom's too busy reading teenage vamipire books. LOL!
All good stuff to report. Hope to be back to scheduled programming soon - whatever that is!
