Confession Wednesday

I confess I have lost all sense of creativity at the moment so I am posting a confession day.

I confess we are doing biggest loser at work and we did our first official weighing today and I wanted to cry. Excess baby weight is depressing when your baby is almost a year old!

I confess I'm going to struggle with the biggest loser contest now that I have found a new cookie idea-Oreos baked inside of chocolate chip cookies. I am serious. I am having a serious craving for them!

I confess I am giving up soda to help with my 'diet'...I am now a sweet tea addict and I am not sure if it's much healthier than soda but it's def yummy!

I confess Tyler is sleeping next to me right now and that I could go upstairs and post pictures too but, since I am in my nice warm bed next to my sleeping husband it just isn't going to happen,haha!

I confess I am addicted to playing scrabble on my iPad. Seriously. Angry birds doesn't have anything on scrabble in my book! It is my personal goal to beat the computer without using the 'best word' cheat button on the highest level.

I confess one of my students asked me to rap on his phone into a new app he got and i did then all could think is that I sounded like Kip from napoleon dynamite when he sang to lafawnduh at their wedding.

I confess I almost cried when a few of my students said they didn't know what napoleon dynamite was. When did I get to be the old one?!

I confess there is a cricket stuck in the wall of our bedroom and it's making me want to go insane. It just keeps making noise and I want it to go away. Desperately.

I confess I wish I had more time to blog.I love it but it's insanely busy these days.:(

I confess I have no free nights this week since Monday...tuesday I had our churches christain Ed meeting, wednesday night is youth group, Thursday we are going to the volleyball game and Tyler is working out of town that night, Friday is the football game and then 5th quarter, Saturday is a bonfire for my youth group, Sunday is impact. I can't believe I am saying this but, I am ready for Monday so I can have a night home with my family!

That's all for tonight!

3rd Time is a Charm? and a Recipie to say I'm sorry for being a terrible blogger!

Well, clearly I am the worst person at consistently blogging. I just don't have time to keep up with it so, instead, I'm going to shoot for more like once or twice a week. I'll be realistic and be honest when I say I have just not had time. Being a wife, mommy, youth pastor, house keeper, etc doesn't allow me much extra time. It's sad, I know. But, I miss blogging. I really enjoy it. So instead of feeling like I need to blog every day I'm going to try out be more realistic about it.
Last week I tried out a new recipie that I thought I would share with you- it was super easy and yummy!

Easy Chicken and Cheese Enchiladas
(It came in my Better Home's and Garden's Magazine that my mom got me for christmas!)



1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
1.2 cup sour cream
1 cup salsa
2tsp chili powder
2 cups chopped cooked chicken
1/2 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
6 flour tortillas warmed
1 small tomato chopped (optional)
1 green onion sliced (optional)

Heat oven to 350. Stir soup, sour cream, salsa, and chili powder in medicum bowl.
Combine 1 cup of the soup mixture, chicken, and cheese and stir together.
Divide chicken mixture among tortillas, roll up the tortillas, and place seam side down in a baking dish.
Pour the remaining soup mixture over tortillas. Cover the baking dish.
Bake 40 mins or until enchiladas are hot and bubbling. Top with tomato and onion (optional)

Enjoy and hopefully I'll be much better about blogging randomly throughout the week instead of feeling like I should every day!
