This morning started with cranky kids. Both of them. E just whiny and M complaining that her stomache hurts (which is generally gas when she complains). Then, I am changing E's dirty diaper and low and behold I find this in his diaper: (not the quarter, its there for size reference)
...oh yeah - in one end and out the other. It is a glass bead/rock. GEEZ! Then I go to school and take them to educare, M went fine, but as soon as I put E down he started to cry. Off to class, where I am shopping for a new quickbooks trial so I can finish my Computerized accounting class; I purchased one, but I was trying to save money by buying a used edition. Well, guess what? Used trials only work for 30 days, and you can't register it for the full 140 days cause it has already been registered under someone else. You know how much a new one costs? $100! Did I mention I was trying to save money?? Anyway, around 2 I get a call from M's teacher who says that M has a 102 fever and has thrown up - so I go to get my kids and go home. M still has her fever and feels horrible but has not thrown up so far. (keep your fingers crossed for me). Then while just chillin at home with justi E makes this HORRIBLE noise in his diaper. And I am busy taking care of M so Justi offers (sort of) to change his diaper - she deserves a raise. It was nasty (I know you want to hear this) but I will spare you all the details...essentially E has diahrea that can not be contained by a diaper. He does it again...and again. And the third time he continued even after I had opened the diaper. Neither kid ate dinner - which was the highlight of the night having 3 very important factors: yummy, cheap and easy. And I am sharing the recipe because I owe Megan one:
Swiss Chicken and Steamed Rice
4-6 boneless chicken breasts, pounded
1/4 c white cooking wine
1 can cream of chicken soup
Swiss Cheese slices
1 c herb stuffing mix
1/4 c melted butter
enough steamed rice for your family
Mix wine and chicken soup. Mix butter and herb stuffing. Layer chicken, cheese, soup mixture and then stuffing mix. Bake @ 350 for 45 minutes, uncovered. Serve over steamed rice.
(we also served ours with green beans.)
Now they are in bed, and I am sharing my day with you. The end.
