Just got back from a birthday party for my BGP's 5 year old at Chuck E Cheese's.
DS had his fill of pizza/coke/salad, but that was at 3:00. So I'd done a cheesecake for the adults. I'm used to just making them and delivering them; Not used to the REACTION people give to them.
Gobs--people were holding their plates out, and acting like they'd never had a cheesecake before. Little bit overwhelming, to say the least. BUT, I did get a few contacts out of that. Which is exciting! ![]()
Tonight:
Chicken breasts stuffed with spinach and feta
White cheddar garlic mashed potatoes
Thanks to everyone for the kind thoughts. I'm just trying to keep breathing through this. I can't fix it for him, and that's what kills me the most. I should be able to fix things. Will let y'all know what happens.
Thanks again,
--Knox--
Hey yall. I am feeling alittle better minute by minute.

Thank you all for being so sweet to me ![]()

toast and oatmeal- I painted all day and am so tired.
Ok I am totally wiped out still. Last night I just left the kitchen as it was. Frosting everywhere. I just chilled out with a couple of much desrved beers. I slept in late(noon) Pulled myself out of bed. Finally took a shower while DH took DD to mall to use a gift card she got at here party. Then I finally went to the store to get chicken for supper. I felt so bad neglecting my family. I am still dragging finally cleaned the kitchen after supper.
Supper was fried chicken, homemade mashed potatoes & gravy, and corn

DD has home work I have to help with and then it'll be time for bed. I may join them tonight. I feel like I've been burning my candle a both ends and I don't even have one!
I think all the preping I had to do for DS ARD at school wore me out. But we had success and everything is working out. Having special need children can do that to you sometimes. He's a sweetie though.
A warm country Gd-nite,
Gloria
home made tacos tonight and left over cookies from the cookie bouquets. (my husband calls eating the "bad" cookies "quality control"
)
i actually got through my first batch of decorated cookies EVER!!!
(pictures of cookies and cupcakes for the kids' halloween party in the gallery) and now i absolutely love it! my mom had a lady come over tonight who owns a store that sells all sorts of things. she saw my bouquets and she offered me a space in her building (if i can get legal
)! so tomorrow i'm going to call around and try to find a kitchen i can rent!!! i'm so excited! i've been wanting to do this for awhile now and i think its finally going to happen!!!! ![]()

Hey guys I got me some sick kids
Sorry if this is long but gotta vent about my BIG BAD DAY ![]()

![]()
My DD carved pumpkins on Sunday. We had them sitting on our steps. DD went to do alittle trick or treating and wanted to come home cause her tummy hurt. Then she started to get sick. She fell asleep on the couch. My DH and I were sitting watching TV. Our flood lights lit up and I heard giggles. I tought it was our niece and nephew stopping bay after trick or treating. Then I heard doors slam and vehicle take off. I looked out to see the vehicle taking off and our pumpkins gone. So DH shoeless grabbed his keys and took off after them. I had seen the back of the vehicle and it had plastic on the whole back end and it had been smashed. So DH finally caught up to them got out and told them he would like his kids pumpkins back. Of course they played dumb. He came back home and we called the police. They got them and called and asked if I wanted to press charges. I said no but they brought them over to appoligize. I showed them my DD who was asleep on couch with bowl beside her if she got sick. I made them cry. They ranged in age from around 13 to 16. 4 boys They said they were sorry and the younger one said he would probably get a butt kickin when he got home. I told them if my teenager had done it he would have to. My DD woke up alttle while ago to get sick again and I told her what happened. She was glad they caught them but was sad 2 of her pumpkins were gone.
Oh and since DS started all this sickness yesterday. I haven't really cooked. I was going to make enchiladas. But since nobody would be eating them. I thought I would wait.
Knox I cleaned for DD party and you can't tell it now. That was only 3 days ago. But I still had them boys come in to see DD sleeping ![]()

I think I got my point acroos real well ![]()
PIZZA HUT last night (kids eat free on Tuesday)
Tara that's what we had Pizza Hut last night too...lol.
Tonight will be chicken strips and fried potatoes. I'll be having something easy to swallow though.
I spend all afternoon yesterday outside pig wrangling(we live in the country). Someone's pigs were here and I was trying to pen them so someone wouldn't run over them. No luck but I tried for a long time. Then trick or treating with the kids in the evening. Needless to say my throat is swollen. It doesn't hurt but I just can't swallow food very well. I just finished some chicken and noodle soup. May end up eating vienna sausages for supper because they are mushy.
Ohhhhh, Kay! ![]()
Poor children!
Sounds like your police there are at least working. That's good, at least. I would have opened up their trunk, though; We can do that here, under certain circumstances. JERKS!!
Your poor little girl--I hope she and brother get better soon. For Mom's sake, too! ![]()
JUJU: Golly, girl--you get better, too! Poor JUJU! ![]()
DALTONAM: We had pizza last night, too. Little one's best friend spent the night last night. (Yes, on a school night! Once in a great while, it's not awful, I don't think.) YIKES! I'm always glad when those nights are over--and I get my house back.
EVERYONE: DODIBUG is coming back to the table! She's been moving, and very busy with all that! I dragged her back earlier today....lol ![]()
Tonight was easy:
Tyson frozen country fried steaks
Green beans w/bacon grease (I know....I know!)
Biscuits
Gravy
Wedding consult this weekend; I don't think the poor lil' bride's got any money, though!
But it's the holidays, and I know someday in Knoxville, people will remember when getting one of my cakes was just a regular thing; Not like how it's going to be when I'm FAMOUS!!! ![]()
So--I'ma be charitable this time. It always comes back. ![]()
--Knox--
Oh Kay I feel so bad for you & your kids
I hope you all get to feeling better, soon!
Knox-Your the mom at the table roundin' up the "kids" to come back to the dinner table ![]()
![]()
Tonight was cheese puffs for me ![]()
I'm baaaaaaack! heehee!
Hey! Glad to be back (thanks mamma knox!) It has just been craziness! The weekend after we moved I had to do 5 (eeeekkk) cakes! I've never had to do that many at once (not counting wedding cake tiers) and not knowing which box all my garbage was in, I was ready to pull my hair out. The poor baby didn't even get his birthday party yet but by gosh he did get a smash cake to play with on his birthday-the paw/bone cake in pics!
Tonight:
Alton Brown's broiled chicken-love it but it sets the smoke alarm off like crazy
smashed red potatos
green peas
cookies and cream ice cream
Oooohhh and I made the best N'awlins BBQ shrimp (my version) the other night!
okay, deer & elk-ewwwwwww rice & tomatoes

Ok you guys sorry for the moaning last night. I had to get it out.

daltonam I love deer can you send me some ![]()
Kids are feelin better but not quite up to eatin alot. Son feelin better cause he started it all. Had bologna sandwiches. DD had some spaghetioos and alittle candy. I felt sorry for her so we went to Wal-Mart and got some goodies half off. I told her she had to wait to eat some. But she was OK with it. I made DH some Schwans sweet and sour chicken. Me I don't know what I am going to have yet. You guys all had Pizza and that sounds so good ![]()
We're having chicken noodle soup. DH came home sick too. I still don't feel well. I just need a lot of sleep to get over mine. But that won't happen for a while. Neither child of mine likes to sleep normally at night. Then I have to get up at 5am to get DH awake for work. I get more sleep after that but I then get up around 9 and homeschool DS. Then lunch and their naptime if I'm lucky. I just need a babysitter for a day so I can sleep all day long...lol.
Tonight:Little of this, little of that (leftovers) No real dinner tonight since ds and I went to visit my nanny and on the way home I saw McDonalds again has the greatest gift to fast food ever-the McRib!!!!! If they had these out when I was pregnant I would have gained 400lbs!
So that was my late afternoon snack/dinner. And ds barfed all over himself on the way home so needless to say he was much for food tonight. This is why I always carry towels in the car!
OMG--
I'm doing the 2nd shift blues this week, so I've just called them and they've ordered pizza.....AGAIN!!!
Such a loser am I...
--Knox--
