I recently noticed that whenever we get ready to go somewhere my guys grab a baseball cap to throw on. I guess it is like how I always grab my purse. Of course you cant keep things in your hat so it actually seems a bit weird. I wear a baseball cap when we are going to be out like walking the dogs and things and they are great for protecting your eyes from the sun. Thats the extent of my hat experiences. As a joke the other day when my guys grabbed their caps I put my hair in a pony tail and threw on mine as well. I now know the secret. You dont have to worry with how your hair looks. I may never take this thing off or brush my hair ever again. I fell so free now. Think of all the time I will save!
I was not feeling well this weekend. Nothing serious and nothing a heating pad. chocolate. lying in bed and crying while watching chick flicks wouldnt cure I should have known something was wrong when I had the urge to flip someone off the other day. I dont do that or ever think about it but sometimes those hormones are insane.
My guys and my oldest daughter and her hubby went to a baseball game Friday night. I normally go out shopping with our other daughter but shes in Alabama visiting my sister and sending me pictures like this one.
I am totally jealous but glad they are having a good time. So since I was alone I did some Christmas shopping. I know that may sound crazy to some but I really like to get it all knocked out before Thanksgiving. I even try to have most of my meals planned and cooked for the month of December just so I can sit back and enjoy the holidays and whatever else might pop up that month. We will discuss that more as the holidays approach.
Saturday was so lazy and just what a frazzled ladybug needed. My husband put on a few finishing touches to our daughters room while she was away. She painted her room before she left and he told her he would do her trim and hang her light fixture. The boy and I ran to Chipotle with my amazing coupon. I also had a great coupon at chicken place and the boy used that one since he does not like Chipotle. While we ate lunch we watched The Lost World of Z. I enjoyed the book and I enjoyed the movie. It had gotten some bad reviews, I am guessing because it wasnt action packed enough for some people. I found the story of Percy Fawcett interesting and sad. The book was written by David Grann and of course had much more information than the movie.
Every Sunday I make pancakes for breakfast. I have no idea how this started as a tradition. Honestly am not a huge fan of them but my guys are and I am a huge fan of my guys. These are my blueberry pancakes.
Pancakes
1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
2-3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons sugar
1 egg
2 Tablespoons cooking oil
1/2-1 cup of milk This is a personal preference. I like a thicker batter so I only use 1/2 cup some like a more thin batter.
Mix dry ingredients and then add the wet ones. You can add chocolate chips or any berries if you like. Use a 1/4 measuring cup or scoop to put in a hot oiled skillet. when you see bubbles its time flip.
The other day my friend Marlene messaged me a picture of a crockpot full of homemade spaghetti sauce. She was going to freeze what her family didnt eat for faster dinners later. I was super inspired and the boy and I are going to make up a big batch of spaghetti sauce today to make spaghetti and meatballs, a ravioli casserole, lasagna soup and pizzas. I will share my recipes tomorrow. I dont have them written down and will try to get better measurements for your guys other than " throw in this or that".
Have a great Monday friends.
Lots of Love,
Mrs Ladybug
