Honestly, I know exactly why my Mother (who worked full time before the microwave could thaw stuff quickly) would often say, "Let's go get something to eat." It was easier. I suppose the fact that my brother and I were both rather picky eaters also made this easier on her.
Still, I've been working on cooking when DH is away. I have been scouring new recipes and looking to widen our eating horizons a bit. Recently we have eaten Asian BBQ Pork w/smoked gouda sandwiches, Citrus Soy Scallops with lo-mein and sugar snap peas, and Watercress Chicken Salad with a honey-mustard glaze. It's been fun seeing the boys' faces as they wonder "what are we making tonight?" And, all in all, they have been really good sports about it.
School started back yesterday for teachers. I LOVE this time of year. I have to say that it really annoys me when teachers say they "dread going back" and treat it like a drudgery. Other than the plethora of meetings, I really love everything about it.
Tonight, our bosses are taking us to the beach for a back to school party. It should be fun.
That's pretty much it for me...oh yeah, there IS a little "bunny update" that I need to give...but I think that's an entire blogpost. I'll save it for later. There you go, have I hooked you to keep checking back?
Happy Tuesday!

As a former teacher and a parent, I am so thankful that my son has one of the teachers who was so excited to go back to school. Teachers like that (you) are a blessing!
I sure hope Luz's teacher is EXCITED to get back to school! We have had a last minute snafu where Amanda became EXTREMELY dissatisfied with the school Luz was supposed to attend, and has now decided to drive her up to OUR house every morning so she can attend my children's elementary school... CRAZY, I know... but I honestly agree with the decision! None of us were really comfortable sending her to the other school - it has verrrrrrrrrrry low ratings and is in a BAD neighborhood. Sooo... this will be a LOT of work for Amanda... but she is willing to do it. Our school has maintained very high ratings for the past 22 years... AND I still know a lot of the teachers - even after being gone from it for 8 or 9 years! And it's still the same principal too!
