Monday Schedule

Wellp we did it!!  Started a cleaning schedule yesterday!!  That along with my time schedule actually worked really well!! 

I know it's hard to believe!!

Monday's are bathroom cleaning night!!  That would be after dinner was cleaned up, laundry was started & the dog was walked!!!  It actually worked!!  I was so excited!!!

It's the small things in life that excite me!!  Is that sad???

It's a hard life around here...

We are trying to work out this whole schedule thing!!!  It's hard but we are working thru it!!  This week we are gonna work on a cleaning schedule!!

Man a time schedule & a cleaning schedule!!!!  Wish us luck!!

Last Saturday

Last Saturday was filled with all kinds of fun!!!!

Someone didn't want to get up out of the bed!!!  I can't really blame him!!!

It was much more fun than what I had to do............

Which was wash & dry almost every towel we have in the house cuz the washing machine decided it would be MUCH MORE FUN to let all the water go out on the floor than actually drain!!!!

Ohhhh we have such fun here in Hoss's World!!!!

Schedule

So I've NEVER been good at being on a time schedule!!  I like to plan things out & have my list of what needs to be done, I just DON'T like saying I do this from 6-7PM, this from 7-8, this from 8-10 etc.

That being said due to some comments & attitudes Hoss's World must now add scheduling to the list of craziness!!!

And today I get to figure out a schedule!!  Everything from a time schedule to a what gets done on certain days schedule!!! 

This might be painful!!!!!

Tuesday List

Today there are a few things on my list!!!  A list of things to do, things that get on my nerves, things that I'm thankful for, things that are on my mind......you know a LIST!!!

• I need bread & coffee creamer from the store.  Guess I'll be going there during lunch!!
• H & I are gonna be jogging tonight during our walk.  Cuz I'm just in the mood to jog tonight!!
• Did people forget their brains at home today??? 
• It's BEAUTIFUL outside today.....I don't wanna be at work!!

• I wanted DH to come eat lunch with me today......he went and ran errands with his brother instead!!  BRAT!!!
• I really need to organize my office again!!  I hate doing that!!
• Some people talk to much!!  I think they need to hear themselves talk to make them have a good day....when all I want to hear is quiet!!! 
• If what the voices in my head said ever came out of my mouth I would be in trouble!!
• I LOVE the sunshine & blue sky outside today....THANK YOU LORD for giving it to me today!!!

Andes Candies Cupcakes

Alrighty I know I say it almost everytime I make a cupcake but ummmmmm these are MY FAVORITE!!  And I'm thinking the FAVORITE of almost 99% of the receipents last weekend!!! 

I'm pretty sure I watched one of them eat 2 in about a minute!!!  So I'm thinking these were worth it!!

Run over here to Your Cup of Cake & get the recipe!!  You won't be sorry I PROMISE!!!!

Chocolate PB Hi Hat Cupcakes

I totally forgot I hadn't posted these yet.....SORRY!!!!  They are super easy to make & from what I was told YUMMY YUMMY!!!  I don't think any of them made it home from DH work the weekend I made them!!!

Cupcakes......

Whisk in bowl:
1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 t baking soda
1/2 cup cocoa powder

Cream together in another bowl:
1 1/2 cup sugar
3/4 c peanut butter
2 large eggs

Once creamed weel add 1/2 cup oil, 3/4 c milk, 1/2 t vanilla.  Mix well & then slowly add the flour mixture.

Fold in 1 cup choc chips.

Bake @ 350 for about 25-30 mins


While baking make your frosting up which is....

1 cup unsalted butter @ room temp, 2 c peanut butter, 4 c powdered sugar, 1/4 c & 2T milk added slowly until well blended.  I don't think I used all the milk.

Once cupcakes are cooled.  Put your frosting into a baggie & pipe a swirl of frosting onto the cupcake.  You can make it as big or small as you like.  Place cupcake in freezer for atleast 1 hour.

Right before you take the cupcakes out of the freezer, melt in the mircowave 2 C chocolate chips & 3 T oil.  Stir till well mixxed.  Let this cool just a second or two....THEN COMES THE FUN PART!!!  Take the cupcake out of the freezer & dunk the top of it in the chocolate!!!!  Let the chocolate drip off the cupcake & then put back into the freezer for it to harden & BAM you have a Chocolate PB Hi Hat Cupcake & a sugar high!!! LOL!!

ENJOY!!!!

Change

Today just seems like the perfect day for change!! 

As I kissed DH while he walked out the door this morning headed to work, came back in & changed the TV from the news to a show that believe it or not is 30 mins of crazy quietness, I came to the conclusion that today I'm gonna make a change.

A change for the better!  A change that will bring me closer to the ONE who matters!!!  A change that is gonna mean the world to my family, to me & to those around me!!!

I'm ready to be still & quiet today!!  I'm tired of the loud craziness that has become my life!!!  I've tried to change before but it hasn't totally worked for one reason or the other.

So today I'm making a change.......A change to be more quiet, more peaceful.  To be still just alittle more often!!!





Valentines Day

             HAPPY VALENTINES DAY EVERYONE!!!!!


Nothing special to report here!!!  Pretty much a normal day in Hoss's World.  DH got a special breakfast cooked this morning.......bacon, eggs & toast!!!  That's special cuz normally it's leftover from dinner the night before or a heated up sausage biscuit.  We get up really really early so a big breakfast is not in my vocabulary!!!!

Then we had steak, BP & salad for dinner.....which I must finish cleaning up here in a few mins. 

Hoss got an extra big Dingo as his Valentines present.  And DH got an extra can of snuff & a sweet card from his one & only....me!!!!

Just another day around our house.....mommy's gotta go finish dishes, do some laundry & clean house!!!

Yummy Taters

So the other night we had taters we needed to use up!  I wasn't in the mood for mashed taters, didn't feel like frying taters, DH was tired of baked taters.........so I made up a yummy concoction!!!! 

I thinly sliced up the taters & probably 2 onions.  Then mixed 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup with some milk in another bowl.

Sprayed the casserole dish with cooking spray then layered taters, onions, soup mixture until everything was gone!!

Baked for about 45 to an hour @ around 425 degrees.

We finished the whole dish.  The only thing I'd change for next time is make 2 dishes.......am betting it would be good in the morning for breakfast with some eggs & sausage patties!!!!

Enjoy!!!

Homemade Donuts

Hoss & I got up very early this morning to make goodies for the guys @ DH's work!!  We make them something every weekend!!!
