I love that the whole family will eat it without complaint. It is a lengthy meal to prepare, but the kids help with it, and Tony is the main chef on this one. I'll be making the Reuben Sandwiches for St Patty's Day, which are my favorite sandwich, so this makes it even. </p><p>I wasn't able to find the video my husband found this recipe on so we could give them a shout out and credit for this yummy dish. </p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38;

We were getting into that repetitious rut!! </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">I found a chalk board at Hobby Lobby (because sometimes you need it NOW and don't have time to craft something!). We started out with a side for Thank Thee, and a side for Ask Thee. We would write down any things we were happy/grateful for (sunshine, selling our house, good friends) on one side, and on the other, anything we wanted to pray for (a cousin battle cancer, help in school, a friend who was sad). We can refer to the board before family prayer for reminders. (Even I can't remember everything!)</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Now we just jot down whatever comes to mind, a great time with family or friends, an illness, the rain watering the flowers, wind blowing away things, whatever and wherever on the board.</span></span></span><br />

I really need to be better at documenting it, so I decided to just start now and get words down before it leaves my mind.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, let's see... I'll have a modge-podge of what we have been doing. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For starters, we've been on this path of building for about 7 years. When we added Delta and Emma to the family, we were instantly squished in our house. Boys in one room, older girls in another room, and the three (3) little girls in another. And babies have lots of needs. Diapers, blankets, clothes, toys were everywhere. Organization didn't look like it was organized. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We had every room filled to overflowing. We had a full storage room with our food storage and seasonal items and hand-me-down and seasonal clothes. Plus kids have STUFF. LOTS OF STUFF. </div>
<div>
The older girls moved out and did the adult thing, but we were still a bit squished. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We had been trying to sell our home. But because we had so much stuff, everyone wasn't able to see around it. We tried selling several times. When it didn't work out, we thought we weren't supposed to move. Yet every time we took it to the Lord, we knew we were supposed to get into a larger house. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Finally we decided to look for a rental. We would move into that and empty our house since an empty house sells better. Finding a rental took over 9 months.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A friend in our neighborhood had a rental that became empty, so we were able to move in there. It seems HUGE!! Ari and Jayden have their own rooms, as well as Katia. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We don't have all of our things at the house. We had put most of our seasonal things in storage. Decorations, clothing, snow boots and other gear, and everything that is a less used item. We did, however move our food storage with us. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
{{I've been playing a sort of GAME where I try and figure out how much of an item I need to buy before we move. We have used lots of things in the past 14 months, and luckily haven't had to purchase a ton of food and other grocery items. That was so helpful when we were making two (2) house payments!}}</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This whole process has been a blessing. We have been able to go through some items and declutter! Hooray for getting rid of things!!! We also are able to see how big we need/want rooms to be. It's helped us to know what rooms need to be larger, smaller, or are just fine how they are. Ideas have come to mind while we are working on the house. For example, we have decided to ask others about our placement of light switches. Some rooms are easy to figure out, such as bathrooms and bedrooms. Those go right inside the door. Other rooms are harder to figure out. Like the kitchen!!! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now that spring is upon us, hopefully we will be so busy getting the house done!!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I hope that anyone with great ideas will share them with us. Then we can find which ideas work for our family.</div>
<div>
I am so excited to share our adventures!</div>

It's also my errand day. I usually go run a few errands then head to the temple. Inn the winter I can get the groceries first, then get to the temple when it isn't as busy. This week I decided to go first, then do running around. It was pretty good. The session wasn't very big, and I was able to sit by a super nice sister. I even stayed awake through it all. (Yeah, shouldn't be shocking, but in the last 6 months it's become pretty hard for me to get through the day.) <br />Well, I then went to see what I could get done before lunch. But hey, I forgot the coupons for a few thins. I decide to go get groceries on the way home. As I was getting ready to go in, I realized I forgot my family name at the temple. It wouldn't have been a big deal, but that name needed sealing to her parents, and I didn't want to forget. I drove back to the temple to grab the name. I remembered an errand I could run on the way home. <br />
I finally got home and had lunch. I made sure I had all I needed to go out again. Went to grab Julia a birthday present. Went to find what I thought she would like. I know what she was talking about around Christmas, and decided that would be the thing. It took a few stops to find just the thing. There were a few other things to get, so grabbed them as I could.<br />
Got home and discovered that I had forgotten a few things!!! Ugh! Now I just have to try and check the list next time I go out.Aunt Suzi Quiltshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09991285620492892848noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543688490030712167.post-13500534552582319392017-10-19T18:05:00.000-06:002017-10-19T18:05:27.921-06:00Witches and Goblins and Ghouls, OH! My!At our house we love Halloween! As in, LOVE IT! <br />
Before status migrainosus I use to make all the costumes.<br />Since that has been put on the back burner, I have gone back to the movies!<br />
We do love movies at our house, so this shouldn't surprise anyone.<br />
<br />
I thought I would share a few of the movies we enjoy, and maybe a little history about each.<br />
<br />
The first is, of course, Nightmare Before Christmas! I mean, it works for both holidays even!!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/disney/images/a/a0/Nightmarebeforechristmas.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160629025045" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="539" src="https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/disney/images/a/a0/Nightmarebeforechristmas.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160629025045" /></a></div>
<br />
This movie came out 13 October 1993. We only had one child. (So much awesomeness there.) It is claymation, so that's kinda cool. It's Disney, which I am a huge fan of lots of Disney. (Which you will see as I keep sharing all these movies.) I loved that the main character is tired of all the "boring" stuff he's doing (totally relate-able!) and decides to try something new. Then it goes all wrong! Man, been there! So in the end he realizes that he is great at what he does, and he learns to be happy with that.<br />
<br />
Second, Hocus Pocus!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/disney/images/2/20/Hocus_Pocus.png/revision/latest?cb=20120314073317" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="755" data-original-width="473" height="320" src="https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/disney/images/2/20/Hocus_Pocus.png/revision/latest?cb=20120314073317" width="200" /></a></div>
<br />
(Released 16 July 1993! Two great movies in one year!) Three witches!! Coming back to take over the world (well, Salem)! Stealing the youth from all the children. And then are beaten by children! Yeah! Pretty awesome!<br />
<br />
A movie from my childhood (which my parents had recorded off of TV during the Disney Sunday Night movie) Is Mr Boogedy!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/disney/images/b/b3/Disneyhalloween-08.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/250?cb=20140112193059" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="63" data-original-width="250" src="https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/disney/images/b/b3/Disneyhalloween-08.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/250?cb=20140112193059" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This aired in 1983. It was pretty freaky when I was a child. T<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #3a3a3a;">he story is about a gag gift salesman and his family moving into a new house in New England which they soon find to be haunted by ghosts from the colonial period</span> </span> Watching it now it seems cheesy! </span><br />
This movie was Julia's favorite movie. She would watch it all the time! (My mom let me have the recorded copy. Then later we were able to purchase it on DVD.)<br />
<br />
I'll leave these with you until next time, as I am needed by the children, and the dinner needs started.<br /><br />
Happy Watching!!<br />

This past week was SO VERY HARD!<br />
<br />
It's so hard to think I'm improving, then mess up every day! I forget things and people, and freak out, and just want to be done. I ask for things to be better, and then can't figure out what I'm doing wrong that would make things so hard. What am I doing that needs to change? What is happening that I can't see or understand?<br />
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Then a friend posted this talk! It helped me think of how well I <b><i>AM</i></b> doing! I'm praying, reading scriptures, going to all my meetings.<br />
<br />
This doesn't mean I'm done and don't have to keep trying. But I'm doing well for what I'm going through. And Heavenly Father loves me.<br />

And it doesn't matter what talent everyone has when the class starts, they will be improved by the end. And EVERYONE gets to perform!!<br />

I was so so so hoping it would help with the migraines. But alas, it didn't.<br />
Anyway, here were the rules that we followed, in case you were wanting to do your own:<br />
<i>You will use a scoring sheet each week to keep track of your score.
Each week when you weigh in you will send me your weight and how many
points you earned for that week and I will enter it into a spreadsheet
to keep a tally of individual and team points and % of weight lost for
each week. I will add whatever points you earn for weight lost. </i><br />
<i>
Each week I will post the team and individual points and % of weight
lost or gained in this group. I will NOT post actual weight. Here is an
example of how you can earn points. </i><br />
<i> Scoring: (see rules below for further clarification)<br /> Exercise: 15 min = 1 pt (up to 16 pts/week)<br /> Eat a healthy breakfast = 1 pt<br /> NO junk food = 2 pts; MINIMAL junk food = 1 pt<br /> 3-4 servings of vegetables = 1 pt; 5+ servings = 2 pts<br /> No soda = 1 pt<br /> No eating w/in 2 hours of bed = 1 pt<br /> Drink at least 64 oz of water = 1 pt<br /> Get at least 7 hours of sleep every 24 hours = 1 pt<br /> Weight loss = 2 pts for every % lost (rounding up)</i><br />
<br />
<i> </i>Needless to say, I did get my weight and healthy habits where they should be. No more running to the the pantry for handfuls of chocolate chips! Eating lots of veggies! Exercising everyday.<br />
<br />
<i></i>
We'll see what the future holds.<br />

I love being able to feel the spirit, learn new things (or be reminded of things), serve, and just start being a better person ('cuz I mess up, like lots!). <br />
<div>
One thing I have learned to help extend the feeling of peace from <a href="https://www.lds.org/topics/sacrament-meeting?lang=eng" target="_blank">sacrament meeting</a> is to not <i>Rush out of there</i>. We all have someplace we need to go afterward. Whether it's to teach a class, attend a class, run an auxiliary, or help in the library. Sometimes I have felt that I needed to leave before the closing prayer. However, when I was in the <a href="https://www.lds.org/callings/primary/getting-started/roles-and-responsibilities/presidency?lang=eng" target="_blank">primary presidency</a>, our bishop admonished us to stay until after the closing prayer was said. I was wondering about this. We needed to set up the room and get things ready for the children to arrive. Yet he told us that everyone should stay until the closing prayer, and that we should still have plenty of time to get there and settled before the primary room started filling up. The schedule for Sunday meetings gives a 10 minute break between Sacrament meeting and the rest of the classes. This is more than enough time to get there. I have our kids start to clean up their items during the closing song, then we are all ready to leave right after the prayer is said. </div>
<div>
So here I am a few years later, and unless there is some unforeseen problem, I stay until the very end. I like not feeling rushed to get to Sunday School. I like keeping the thoughts shared in talks in my head so I can ponder them. When I'm not rushing off I can be thinking about these things. </div>

But I was a MAJOR fail!! I got the recipe online. Two different sources. But it was crumbs. (Katia said it was like sand. She thinks we can use it for Kenetic Sand.) At least the icing was good. I MAY have just ate it plain and with the crumbs mixed in.<br>

Hooray!!<br />
The first order of business was to get them going with some spell books.<br />
I found <a href="http://dirtandsunshine.com/assetlibrary/harry-potter-files/encyclopedia-of-potions.pdf" target="_blank">this</a> one at <a href="http://dirtandsunshine.com/" target="_blank">dirt and sunshine</a>. So good. I did make a word doc if that would help anyone who wants to print it out. The PDF wouldn't let me print it in book form like I wanted. Anywho...<br />
<br />
I'll hopefully get an updated version and post it here. I really love that the girls love to pretend still. It makes me so happy.<br />
<br />
Happy spell making!Aunt Suzi Quiltshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09991285620492892848noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543688490030712167.post-4442020736016914102016-09-11T16:47:00.001-06:002016-09-11T21:59:29.706-06:00Tender Mercies<div dir="ltr">
You kno<i>w </i>those things/times that are crazy (trying to get the school routine figured out before it's spring) and you have this little thought pop in and just jump on it? {Those are <i>RARE </i>moments for me.} <br />
Anywho... Last week was one of these weeks. Crazy everything. Exhausted from working in the yard and canning. Sunday was <i>oh so needed!</i> Sacrament meeting was so thought provoking. Sunday school was great. Then Relief Society. Sitting down visiting with friends. The welcome and announcements. Time for the opening prayer. No one is up there ready to lead. What are we going to do? One second and I'm up there. I just jumped up. The RS Pres was so thankful. I didn't even think about it. Just helping out.
Fast forward to today. We were struggling to get there on time. My hands were shaking quite badly, but I had a thought of hairstyles for Delta and Emma I was<i> dete</i><i>rmined</i> to accomplish. Finally got it done, teeth brushed, talks ready, off we go. <br />
I get there and the welcome remarks are going on. Announce the opening song. The organist is looking around. No one is up there to lead. Hey, I can do that. I jump up and go up there. I look to make sure I have the correct song, the organist plays the introduction, and off we go. Great song, turned out okay. We're good.<br />
Then as I sit down for the prayer, I realized that three weeks ago the Ward Music Director had asked me to sub for her. Oops! So very grateful I had the experience just the previous Sunday so it was not a big deal to just get up. <br />
Then in RS the music director wasn't there again, so I just got up again. <br />
I do love music. I know it is a gift from Heavenly Father. I also know He gives us tender mercies to help us and let him know he loves us.</div>

I love the opportunity to rejuvenate. I get to refill my bucket that I dip into through the week. <br>
It is a chance to set (or reset) goals.<br>
It is a change from the week. <br>
Even though there is the stress of getting everyone and everything ready, it is still peaceful. <br>
We listen to different music. (Songs singing praise.)<br>
We watch different movies. (Use to just say Disney, but now Veggie Tales or movies put out by the church.)<br>
We hang out with different people. (Family or those in need.)<br>
We serve differently. It's more focused. Instead of thinking about taking cookies/bread, it is teaching and sharing.<br></p>

I have been reading a ton! I finally started reading some books by Traci Hunter Abramson. I really enjoy them. She used to work for the CIA, but then stayed home with her children. Any way, she's pretty good.<br>
So yeah, been reading. Not sure if it helps to lay around reading, but it's been hard to concentrate on much, do much. O know I need to have some down time. I know I am lucky (Blessed really) that I have learned to work through the pain. I am blessed with an amazing husband who makes breakfast everyday. Who comes home and doesn't care what the house looks like, but will just jump in and start helping. <br>
But what if I wanted to do something? What if I wanted to sew? What if I wanted to work on the basement? What about that?<br>
I did finally get up Thursday afternoon and scraped the floor in the bathroom since we are going to be tiling it. <br>
That felt good. Then not good later. But I was done doing nothing. Of course I paid for it today. Oh well. I read another book and watched the opening of the Olympics. </p>

For starters, I didn't get enough sleep last night. I'm sure that made things worse.<br>
I guess it just frustrates me that it's hard to function. Just when I think I can handle my situation, the pain becomes worse. Just when I think I might be able to focus and accomplish something, I have a hard time figuring out how to do something.<br>
I spent the morning getting breakfast, had kids get breakfast (Delta made pancakes), and everyone got ready for the day. <br>
I finished one book I had been reading, and started another.  (I'm currently reading books by Traci Hunter Abramson.)<br>
Jayden decided that we should go to the movie today. (We do the summer movie thingamajig, where you purchase tickets for the whole summer at half the price.) <br>
Then after that we went to the library to borrow a movie (because the movie showing was different than the one advertised). The library didn't have it, but got a movie for me.<br>
I let the kids have friends over, then I laid down and read some more.<br>
Tony came home and is fixing dinner while I type this hoping that maybe getting my thoughts down will help me be able to handle how I feel.</p>

These late nights after busy-go-go-go-and-do days are wearing me out. <br>
To the point where what ever you want to eat is fine with me.<br>
Chips? For lunch? Sure, go ahead.<br>
Ramen noodles for breakfast? And lunch? And dinner? Okay. <br>
So when I came across <a href="http://www.tipsfromatypicalmomblog.com/2016/08/ad-organize-fridge-freezer-back-school.html">this</a> post on Instagram, I was very intrigued. It reminded me of how the beginning of summer looked. And I think I can still do nothing and it will work. Slushies made with apple juice and strawberries! Brilliant!<br>
Because let's face it, I have no energy left for super awesome snacks!<br>
So, yeah, head over to http://www.tipsfromatypicalmomblog.com/2016/08/ad-organize-fridge-freezer-back-school.html<br>
You will be glad you did!<br></p>

The best way to go at the drop of the hat, is to not have to gather too much. It drives me crazy that when I am heading to the store with the kids, it takes an hour. (That might be an exaggeration, maybe.). <br />
Gotta find shoes, drinks, sometimes a snack, that book that can't be left, even though I don't know where it is. Then after the first 15 minutes, they are ready to go home because shopping is boring.<br />
Any who... We have been trying to get lots of adventures in this year. Some days we'll get everything done, no one can play, but we want to do something, so we'll go do something. <br />
When it takes forever to get ready, it makes me not want to go. <br />

One way to get out the door more quickly is to have snacks pre-packed, and water bottles filled in the fridge. We are ready for tomorrow when we get a hankerin' to go somewhere kinda sudden like.<br />

Christmas break. Sometimes the kids drive me crazy. It's cold out. No one gets along. Then lo and behold, they find something that they can all agree on. Granted it's on an electronic device, but no one is yelling of pouting.

Things that I struggle with are keeping moving, and perpetual sadness. With winter coming on, it makes things really hard. It makes it hard with less sunlight. I really don't like it at all. It makes life harder to handle. <br />
So it's quite hard to explain unless you deal with it everyday.<br />
The main problem is that I don't want to do anything. This makes me unable to focus. Then add the continual headache, and day are not good. I just want to lay around and watch TV. I can only concentrate for maybe 5 minutes. It's hard to follow through with anything. <br />
I feel like a failure, I panic about leaving the house. What if I say the wrong thing. People must think I am a total slacker. I don't help anyone because I can't help myself. <br />
I'm not a good mom. I don't keep on the kids about homework or chores or instruments. I can't fight with them about everything. If they don't do it on their own, then it might not get done. <br />
I am super blessed, though. I have a sweet husband who listens to me. He picks up the slack. He takes care of the kids. He listens to me. <br />
<br />
Things that do help: Chocolate, sunshine, flowers, talking. I also have found that reading scriptures, listening to conference, and praying are great helps. It keeps me focused on what matters, and keeps the Spirit of the Holy Ghost close. Feeling the spirit reminds me who I am, and Whose I am.Aunt Suzi Quiltshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09991285620492892848noreply@blogger.com0
