Tuesdays Truth

My Pastor is on my Facebook.
I really appreciate the little church I attend even if I have missed the last 3 weeks, lol.
so y'all, he he posts these little gems of truth.


One from this week:


How do you know if you're out of God’s will? You planned to be out of God’s will! We don't accidentally slip out of the will of God Each and every one of us knows the basics of God's will for our life God directs us to specific people places and actions These things are where God’s blessings await us Yet, we insist in... going the wrong direction because of some insignificant inconvenience or some self-indulgent desire

Humm, so as i am redirecting myself toward the right path and making the right decisions, the obstacles I have to overcome were firmly placed there by me as a result of my bad decisions... I got there all by myself...    However, if I gave them to God instead of trying to stubbornly trying to fix them my self my load would be a little lighter. For me that is difficult, I think I am going to have to physically write them and leave them ... or burn them in the barbeque pit...
:D

C'mon, don't be bashful... post a truth.   Me and Cookie are the only ones in the pool right now. Come on in, the waters fine!

Inside out ...not me monday

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

The new job is 40 hours a week, so in the rest of the time, I am usually hurrying to get places, get things done but still... what was up with that woman walking into the Walmart with her shirt inside out the other day???   She quickly realized it at the entrance as she was reaching for her cart.  She stopped , embarassed and the kindly greeter looked at me her and said : I am so glad I am not the only one that does that ..." 

Whew people, "me either"  

edited to add:  Okay, so the one day I actually get my entry posted  so I can *gasp* be on time for something, it changes on me.... due to some not so kind comments, Mck Mama posted about that here.

Save "Loads" of Money on Laundry Detergent

I added pages to my blog recently, as this is an important item in my household in heling to accomplish two things, getting my clothes clean and saving "loads" of money.   This detergent has the endorsement of the VOT or the Very old teen... that is saying something, as she has some really high standards.   She actually said when were test drove this detergent that she liked it better than the commercial ones we bought at the Wal-mart.  You can find the link and instructions here for Homemade Laundry Detergent. 

See How She Cooks?? Umm, no thanks...

I created a new page for keeper recipes... you can find it at see-how-she-cooks. Since I have made a few things in the last year that I have lost recipes for, that the VOT (Very Old Teen) missed while she was out with friends- this seemed like a great idea. Thinking back, ther have been some pretty good dishes come out of my kitchen in the last few months with accolades from OT's ( other teens) even some that dont't belong to me! I was monitoring for mannered responses, however they asked for additional portions and quickly finished those off as well...


Ha! Take that (VOT)! She had walked by briefly on the way out the door, with the nose turned up at this particular dish.  CAN YOU SMELL WHAT "THA" MOM IS COOKIN'?

My VOT( very old teen) said the other day: "Why are you making that tonight?" to which my reply was that it used ingredients that I had on hand. (VOT): "Why not go buy a mix instead of making something?" Me: "That is wasteful, besides you don't like hamburger/tuna  h**p*r or anything like it, so what do you propose that I purchase? ( Seriously, what mix is left,  a can of manw*ich or pancake mix?  To which the reply would most certainly be  ... well, yea! )

*sigh*

Today, on the menu is: Laundry Detergent.... sorry kids.  And a visit to the dentist I have named Atila. Hope she doesn't take my little nickname personal. then workthe evening shift for 8 hours.  Never fear, VOT, sandwiches are in your future.

Simmered Chinese Chicken Recipe

RecipeZaar.com totally gets the credit for this one.  I made this the other night and it was easy and tasty.   My dd was saying she didn't want any of the sauce, as I scooped out a portion on her plate... I said it is really good, I am sure you will want some... but this is the child who ate ketchup with her whole cooked carrots when she was a kid...so her pickyness confuzzels me.   A few minutes later. she returns to the kitchen... "Man, I gotta get some sauce!".... so there is your picky kid/now very old teen ( VOT) endorsement.  Enjoy!
