Mall trip

Selah is doing ok, her heart rate is up just a bit overall BUT not storming.  I bought her a probiotical for her to start taking in case it is just her tummy feeling bad with all the meds going in.  No fever or throwing up and no storming so things are ok I'd just like to see her feeling better after being on medicine since Friday!

This afternoon I took the kids to get their haircut and go to the mall, fun times:)  Sam loves getting his hair cut but if we touched his face near his bad eye, he'd flinch so it still must be painful.  Steve got a really nice hair cut and his beard trimmed, now he won't frighten small children!  Shad got everything shaved just like Sam and Sarah and I just got a trim.  I'll do some pictures but the little ones are taking naps. 

Then I found three pairs of SKORTS  HALLELUJAH!  And I ordered two other pairs that they didn't have in my size (they were too big whoohoo!)    We all have our addictions.....but at least my addiction was on sale 50% and I had a coupon for another 20% and got free shipping:)   If you don't know what a "skort" is...it is a skirt with attached shorts.  It is the most comfortable and modest shorts/skirt you can find.  Living in Florida, you tend to live in shorts.  Skorts can be dressy or you can wear tennis shoes and a tshirt with them....  I love Skorts, with having kids, it's nice to know I'm not flashing anyone when I bend over LOL   These were really good thick material and a little longer which is nice.  I'm HAPPY:)  I also got a badly needed pedicure and a 20 minute massage today....I feel very indulged!  Hey maybe it was me that won the lottery LOL!

Last night I put on a crock pot full of chicken legs and boneless breasts to cook all night.  This morning I had the broth to take off and save and now the chicken is baking with bbq sauce!  Also got baked beans, green beans and mac & cheese cooking.  That was so easy, meals around here have been hit or miss for the most part lately.  I hate that, I'm used to cooking supper every night....I've got to get back on track!  Some days I just don't focus good anymore.

When I had to wait at CVS Pharmacy for hours on Monday, I found a cookbook called "Fix It and Forget It" and it has all kinds of crock pot recipes.  I'm trying several out tomorrow.  For Christmas I got a 3 pot crock pot.  It is long and has 3 crock pots that are side by side in the machine.  My goal is to use it a couple of times a week.  I also have a giant crock pot, a medium/Large one and a small one.  I have NO excuse for not using them all the time.  There were so many recipes in that book to try out so we are going to do so.  Tomorrow night I am going to cook a wild chicken rice, seafood dip, and a Mexican beef/bean dip  all in the crock pots.  I do have to modify the recipes a bit to try and fit our healthier goals but it should be good.  I'll let you know and share the recipe if it all turns out good.  One thing I learned from that book was you could put in a completely frozen chicken or parts of chicken and let it cook all night on low and it will thaw and then cook....that was life changing LOL!

Thank you for your prayers for Selah and our family.  Thank you for your kind support, I love the emails and comments I get that are so encouraging!!!  Thanks!
