Something has to give!!

So my internet is finally up and running again! What a nightmare...but at least it is up and I am able to continue my quest for gainful employment.

I am not even sure where I left off, note to self reread previous posts before ranting on the net. What have a ranted about or not ranted about...*SMH*


What a crazy past few weeks it has been! I am having a blast with Instagram and the apps to edit the pictures, I only have a few followers and am following a few as well. I tend to take a lot of pictures of my dogs. I am sure my followers just love that. And have been posting pictures of food, a picture a day challenge, my crazy faces (wait I may not have posted those), pictures of kidlet #4 (btw allow me to brag for a moment - he made honor roll!! YIPPEE!!)

 

Boy do I need a life - or a job a job would be fantastic!


I, in the past have never been much for cooking or baking but lately I have been really enjoying it, And have been baking up a storm. Even made dog treats!! I also scored a bread-maker and have made thus far one loaf of bread. And some dinner rolls. The loaf of bread was a little on the dense side, but the dinner rolls were amazing we had them with some homemade chicken vegetable soup.

Kidlet #4 has a terrible cold right now. 

He normally never gets sick and when he does he is usually pretty stoic about it, then last night I was introduced to his other personality that apparently has been dormant for all of his 11 years! We will call him demon child he showed up at 1:00 A.M. complete with kicking and flailing tantrum because he could not fall asleep. I gave said Demon child a Niquel capsule, it did the trick Demon child was knocked out in 12 minutes I on the other hand was awake until 5 A.M., at which time I started my day!

So I am feeling so discouraged, I had an interview this Tuesday and I felt it had gone really well, but just found out that today I was not selected was told that they had decided to hire from within the company, but that I had been referred to another position and to expect a call shortly to set up another in person interview. This is a good thing, but I am so discouraged...I just want a job!

To make matters worse my husband that has been out of work due to a work comp issue for 2 years just received notification that they are cutting off his benefits. GREAT - now what?? 

Moving forward..the now what brings me to my car was sick and also had to be in the shop. Bills are piling up...I am feeling stretched very thin! Something has to give...RIGHT?

Well, I am going to go bake something - love they way it smells up the house...and it will keep my head out of my head for a few minutes (at least).

Ta Ta for now!

Oh wait - let me leave a recipe I have tried and love! Some people don't like these things in a cup but I think they are great, I can't over eat then! It is just one item...So far I have made a cookie in a cup, a brownie in a cup, an oatmealy breakfast thing (complete with blueberries) in a cup, I have a recipe for coffee cake in a cup that I am willing to try. But for now here is the  original link for some chocolatey yumminess.Brownie in a Cup recipe = super easy - super yummy!! 

Ingredients:
1/4 c flour
1/4 c brown sugar
2 Tbsp applesauce (or oil) **I used oil**
2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
Pinch o' salt
2 Tbsp milk or coffee or water **I made one with milk and one with coffee, I enjoyed both**

 **I also threw in chocolate chips too maybe about a TBSP full**

Directions:
Stir ingredients together in a mug, microwave for 1 minute or until top is springy but still gooey...top with scoop of ice cream for extra awesomeness.

I apologize I only have a picture after it was half eaten! And it had ice cream on it too!!

Enjoy!!

Ok now I am officially shutting up and going to go find something to do or bake!!

Peace!
