Cowboy Stew

Just a quick recipe for Cowboy Stew

2lbs ground hamburger meat

1 can rotel

( you pick the hotness )

2 cans Ranch Style beans

1 can whole corn

1 can green beans

1 can diced potatoes

Simply brown the hamburger meat in a pot. I usually season the meat with some garlic, Cavender's seasoning, and onion powder.

Add all canned goods.

Let simmer for 30 to 45 minutes.

It is simple and easy!!

Next time~ Chicken Noodle soup!! : )

I have decided that I want to go back to school. I said this at the end of the summer last year but then Chris got his new job which sent him back to school, so now I am kinda stuck. Since Chris is in school 4 nights a week I don't know when I would have time to go since I can't very well leave my 4 soon to be 5 year old home alone. I think there are several laws against that. So my question is, is there a place I can take most of my classes on line. If not, and I have to go to NWACC how do I qualify for financial aid? I wanted to go to Nursing School, but I still have to work and you can't do everything you need to do for nursing school and work 40 hours a week. So I have decided that I would go for accounting and or business administration. I could take some classes on-line through NWACC.

So give me your thoughts, helpful hints!!

Big Mess!

As you know we had some snow on the ground a week or so ago. It was so pretty! Now NOT so much!!

My driveway looks like this......

Normally this is where we park. But today my wonderfully amazing husband ordered some rock so he can fix our drive-way!

So that I won't have to park way over here!

I have never been more grateful for a giant pile of rocks in all my life!

I put of my Valentine decorations!

This is the extent of my Valentine decorations!!

Oh My!

Well it has begun! The planning of this little man's 5th birthday!!!

We wanted a bowling party but the bowling alley is having a district/city tournament the weekend before and the weekend after his actual birthday. So today I had to start at square one again! All the kids in his class have had Chuck E Cheese parties and that is what he wanted but we are on a budget and I am not a HUGE fan of the mouse, so I called Fun City, they have recently moved into a bigger building and they have added an indoor putt-putt course! Ladies and Gentlemen we have a winner!!! We went to Hobby Lobby and got his cowboy themed party invites today after work and filled them out to send to school tomorrow! He is very excited.

Still can't believe he is going to be 5 in 19 days!

This was taken in May/June 05

He would have been 3 or 4 months old.

October 2005

He is 8 months and 3 days old when I took this picture!

Christmas 2005

He is almost 11 months old here!

Pure craziness!!!

I totally for got to say WELCOME to my 3rd follower!!! I am so excited to have readers!!!

Tuesday!!! You know what that means!!!

I was doing my nightly blog reading and realized from reading Cole's blog that it is RTT!!!!

* I have baby fever! I know of a couple of girls that are expecting and it makes me want a baby in a bad way!!

* I had a rough day at work today! But the Lord gave me the strength to keep my mouth shut!!

* My husband was making the most annoying sound during the last commerical break from Dirty Jobs! He has since stopped thank goodness

* My son says he is freezing after his bath but refuses to get his PJ's on.

* My middle sister applied and interviewed for her first real job today!

* I am changing my name from Mom to something else and not telling my son what it is!! : )

* I really could use some ice cream right now!

Ok that is all I have!

Ok so I thought of 1 more RTT!!

* I want to see the movie Dear John, I read the book and loved it! It made me cry but I loved the book! I also want to see the movie Valentines Day! It looks so FUNNY!
