Well, for the last...let's see...6 months or so I have been an incredible slacker when it comes to my job. And by that I mean being a housewife! My family has been lucky if they get a "real" home cooked meal once a week. Mostly it's been fish sticks, corn dogs, sandwiches, and many hotdogs and hamburgers (which Kenny cooked and I reheated the next day). On top of that my house is rarely clean. I try to pick it up if I know people are coming and I have been able to keep up with the deep cleaning, but most of the time if the living room is clean then the kitchens a mess. I can't remember the time when my whole house was actually clean together:) Kenny of course has been a trooper and dealt with all of this wonderfully. I'm sure their have been many days when he comes home thinking, "PLEASE let their be a meal waiting for me!" Only to come home to chicken nuggets (or nothing at all). So lately I have felt like crap and wishing I could step up a little and make things better. My problem is that my feet are killing me all of the time and I just don't have the energy. However I think that I have finally started getting mad at myself and I also want to try to make Kenny's long days a little better:) So today I woke up and wanted to sit on the couch all day, but I pulled myself off the couch (literally, I am getting that big). I had a whole ton of tomatoes from my garden that I have been needing to do something with, and I decided to can some salsa! Luckily from then on I had a very constructive day!
Beautiful aren't they!!! A little thicker than I like, but Kenny likes his salsa thick.
I also made dinner!!!!! Huge accomplishment for me nowdays! I even tried a new recipe that ended out being really good! Sorry I forgot to take pictures until after dinner:) That's a stuffed chicken breast by the way- that's right- no boxed meals tonight!
And finally I also made rolls! Now if Kenny would just get home so he can see all of this:( 
Side note: My feet are KILLING me, my stomach feels like it's going to fall out, and I can't feel my finger tips (I always burn them when I can), BUT I finally got my job done today!!!!Tomorrow may be a different story.

Wow!! You are amazing!! That salsa looks yummy and don't worry about dinner my kids are lucky when it is not cereal! Your stuffed chicken looked like a hit with the fam! Soooo good to talk to you the other day!
Don't beat yourself up. I know you're not a slacker. You're great! I've been saying I'm going to do salsa this summer but still haven't done it. Yours looks wonderful. . . I'm going on a road trip to California to be with my ailing parents so, I won't get to visit you this month. Try to stay cool this summer and I'd like to taste that salsa but there probably won't be any left by the time I get back. Take care.
Well Congratulations! :) I'm glad you had a productive day...those always make me feel better too. And can you send me a jar of that salsa in the mail please???? :)
