Food

1. My favorite cookie is a sugar cookie with icing. Here is my favorite recipe.

2. My favorite restaurant is Texas Roadhouse. I always order the house salad with Italian dressing (they have the best Italian dressing) and a baked potato. Sometimes I order a 6 oz steak with it. This is my absolute favorite restaurant meal. The rolls just make it all come together.

3. For each of our birthdays my mom cooks us a birthday dinner. I always pick fried pork chops, fried potatoes, homemade biscuits, sliced tomatoes, pinto beans, and gravy made from the grease from the pork chops. 

4. My favorite ice cream is vanilla with hot fudge with cherries and salted pecans.

5. The day my mom broke her leg and knee I made  this crock pot chicken Parmesan recipe. We were about to eat when I got the call. I never even got to taste it but Jeremy said it was good.

6. My mom makes the best banana pudding from scratch.

7. I HATE milk, sour cream, and ranch (gasp!)

8. I really love green beans. I like to cook them with purple onion and garlic. I also like them wrapped in bacon with a butter/brown sugar/garlic mix on top. 

9. The easiest meal for me to cook is chicken and dumplings. We all love it, it's cheap, and pretty easy to make.

10. The perfect breakfast has a little sweet and meat. Give me sourdough French Toast with sausage every morning.

Men Are Big Babies

My sweet darling husband had outpatient surgery yesterday. It was a quick 35 minute surgery where they cut open his stomach and took out some scar tissue from an old appendectomy. The cut is about 5 inches max. You would think he was on his death bed. Aren't all men like that? If he gets a little cold he can't get out of bed for days. I get a cold and I have to put on my big girl panties and deal with it. So just imagine how he is after a surgery.

Last January I had major surgery where they cut out a whole bunch of my stomach and inserted a wound vac. I had to stay in the hospital for 4 days. The day after the surgery I was up walking around. I wanted to feel productive. Laying in the bed didn't feel good. The night I came home to my parents house I cared for my baby. For the most part I was the same person. Resting wasn't what I wanted to do. I got in trouble by him and other family members for not taking it easy but it just isn't my way. I do not like being taken care of. It's either that or just me keeping score. You can read more about that here. 

I know this post sounds kind of braggy but that isn't my intention. My intention is to say men are big babies when they are sick. Us women don't have the option of taking it easy. There have been very few times where I've been so sick that I couldn't be around Jack. What did I do? Depend on the husband to take care of everything? Heck no! I called my mama. 

Jeremy will be home for the whole week. During the day I'll be at work and Jack at daycare. At night I'll be taken care of two babies. Please pray that the Lord will give me the patience I need this week.
