Did you feel the Earthquake last night? I felt my bed shaking and wondered what in the world my husband was doing to make the bed shake like that. When I rolled over he was sound asleep. I tried to wake him up, but he didn't even budge. I have never felt an Earthquake before so I thought it was pretty cool. I would like to know your quake stories.
My mom, Stepfather and Stepbrothers sent me these flowers when they found out that I made it into the Nursing program! Thank you so much. They are still opening and smell fantastic!
Nick got this as a gift for his first birthday from his Aunt Judy. He is really starting to become attached to it. When you put your hand in the body it has a few sayings. When he hears Lamb Chop speak, you can see on his face that he thinks she/he is real. At night we put Lamb Chop on his bookshelf and he tells Lamb Chop goodnight. When he wakes up he will go to Lamb Chop and say "sleeping?" It is really cute!
After nearly three months of anticipation I finally recieved my acceptance letter today. I have been accepted to start the Southwestern Illinois College Nursing Program in June. Only 80 people out of almost 500 applicants were accepted. I am so excited. I finally feel like my life is really coming together! I have worked very hard. I know I have quit a road in front of me, but I have accomplished this so I know I can make it through!
1-2 lbs ground beef
1 small onion
1 green, red, and yellow pepper
1 clove garlic
Italian seasonings
salt and pepper
1 large container mushrooms, sliced
1 can tomato soup
1 large can whole tomatoes, chopped
1 large container of prairie farms cottage cheese
2 bags mozzarella cheese
6-9 lasagna noodles
In skillet brown ground beef with the onion, garlic, peppers, salt and pepper. Drain. Return to pan and add tomato soup, Italian seasoning, mushrooms, and chopped tomatoes. Cook to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 to 45 minutes. Remove from heat and add cottage cheese. Boil noodles until Al Dante. It makes the lasagna a little less runny when the noodles are not done all the way. In a 9x13 baking dish coat the bottom with a small amount of sauce. Layer noodles, sauce, cheese. Continue until all sauce is used. Add cheese to the top. Make sure to cover your pan with foil so that the cheese does not burn. You may want to put toothpicks in the middle of the pans so the foil does not stick to the cheese. Bake on 350 for about 30 minutes or until cheese and sauce bubble. let sit for about 10 minutes to help thicken. Enjoy!!!!
This picture has no meaning to this post, I just thought I would include it. What a day it has turned out to be. My day started with the annoying sound of my alarm going off. For some reason I have been without a good night sleep for about 20 months (right around when Nick was born). I wake up tired each day and go to bed tired each night.
