Happy New Year 2011

Here we are the opening of a brand new year. 2010 was an interesting year, lots of ups and downs it happens with a larger family. I am so excited to start a new year and start creating new memories.

For most of us Jan 1st is like a new beginning. I am hoping this holds true for our family. I have new plans for us and ideas to get through the year. I will be posting my Road Map 2011 in a few days I am working on where I want to ‘stop’ this year.

One thing I am doing is the Bloggy Moms Blog Dare, which is simply posting every day. As many of you know that is a hard thing for me at times. So I am going to start with it being the first thing I do after the kids go to school. I am so excited and dedicated to doing this dare this year.

I hope you visit and see whats going on with life here.

What to do with huge zucchini

Here I am with a lot of zucchini. A couple of days ago my son Jeffery brought home three huge zucchinis. I usually only buy them when a recipe calls for it and its usually a small one that you usually get from the store. First thought was zucchini bread, never have made it or even tasted it, I figured it was worth a try. I asked on facebook got no one who knew so I hit my swagbucks toolbar. I found a few then came across the one on the Food Network website it is for Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread sounded good. Off to the kitchen I went and this is what came out.I didn’t care for it all that much, I like the bites with out the chocolate chips for me it just didn’t add anything to it.

With a ton of the zucchini shredded I was on the hunt for something else to make with these. Back to the search I went I came across different things like soups, stews and grilled nothing that needed shredded. I then came across Squash and Zucchini Cakes they sounded pretty good. I did have to substitute the yellow squash for spaghetti squash and the Vidalia onion for yellow onion. I also made them a little thinner then they say in the recipe. Turned out pretty good even my picky eaters ate it right up.

I am still looking for more since i still have two more huge ones left. Do you have any other ideas?

Stress, Depression, and Exercise

As I have mentioned before that I am Bi-polar more on the depressed side then manic. I went to the Dr yesterday for a check up and all was the same as it has been she did give me something to help me sleep since I haven’t been sleeping. I haven’t been sleeping because of stress from my son. Something that is not much discussed he is also bi-polar and it seems that he has been stuck in a manic/rage state the last few months. We was evaluated and found that he possibly has aspergers syndrome we are looking more in to that with his Dr. So yea things have been stressful here with him and the other kiddos driving me crazy but it will be ok.

Her prescription was get more sleep and exercise. Both something I knew I had to do to both help me mentally but also help me physically, I am starting to get fluffy again. For me depression turns in to eating snacks usually salty and/or chocolaty snacks at that, I know not a good thing. I guess it is a step knowing this problem I have. Just taking all of this one day at a time.

So I broke out the Wii Fit again to start there. I am taking it slowly and not overly pushing myself. Did a work out today and felt better afterward, just got to keep it up. Talked to Alin’s girlfriend and she said that if I want to we can be workout buddies, Something I am going to think about doing. I think it will help.

Ned and I also discussed getting a bike to help with the exercise but also with getting out of the house and getting fresh air. Because seriously I will sit in the house for days if not weeks if he don’t force me to go out. So this can help at least get me outside. I am glad he is here on my side supporting me.

Since Jeff has been in this mood, that he has been in, it has been even harder for me to do anything for myself so yesterday I went and got my hair cut I like it so far its nice and short yet long enough to still pull back. It felt good to go out and do something for myself. I am going to work on myself more especially now that the kids are all in school. I am going to exercise, and try to get out of the house more.

Thanks for Stopping By

Yesterdays Wordless Wednesday was an important day here at the Wilson Household. It was taken while waiting for the bus. The bus that was picking up my princess for her first full day of Kindergarten. She was super excited to get on the bus and to go to school.

Brendan was just as excited to show her how things at school work. He was also excited to get to school since his best friend is in his class.

Time has flown by I am totally shocked at the time that has gone by and how they have grown. Each day is full of learning and getting smarter and smarter. I just hope their enthusiasm about school continues.

Proud to day Mommy didn’t get all teary or anything.
