Ugggghhhhh!

Ugggghhhh! This is going to be the longest week ever. I just know it.

It started out last night when I was trying to mow the yard. First, I was mowing along and stepped on a rock that borders my flowerbed. The rock flipped over, and crashed into my ankle and I fell into a tree. The tree caught me, but I'm certain I was a vision of grace! Then a few minutes later as I was mowing along I heard a loud crack. You know what it was? It was the other back wheel on my mower cracking and breaking off! Seriously? I was just trying to get the whole thing mowed so I could start the week off right!

This morning of course, I had to wake up at 5:40 so that I could leave for class by 6:25. I didn't sleep all that well. You know how when you know you are going to have to wake up early and it prevents you from sleeping? That was me last night.

I have class again tonight from 7-9:45, then Wednesday and Friday morning at 7:00 a.m. and then Thursday night from 7-9:45. As if that isn't enough, I have to be in Waco tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. for an interview with one of my juvenile clients. I'm trying to get him into the Methodist Children's Home there and will have to again leave my house at the crack of dawn.

To top all that off, Lola is acting like she has been a participant in CIA's program of sleep deprivation torture. She has been passed out all day...SNORING! Here is how Lola's day has shaken out... I woke her up when I got up. She slept on the floor beside me while I got ready. She napped the whole time I was gone and all day since. Tough life for the poor girl! Here's a pic of the snoring angel...I wish I could add the proper sound effects so that you could hear the slumbering that is going on beside me right now!



Weeks like this that make me wish I drank coffee!

I don't drink coffee either, but think I need to pick up the habit.

I hope you get a little rest this week.

Wow your teaching lots of classes! Good luck with the juvey. At least your rough schedule isn't getting in Lola's way.

I really think it would be so much better if you would let random gay guy come arrange your chi! Just a thought!

Swiss Oatmeal {Copy Cat Recipe}

I'm obsessed with Swiss Oatmeal.  I particularly love   Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal.  If you are not familiar with Swiss Oatmeal, it is a cold oatmeal cereal with fruit and nuts. I've had a similar recipe for years, but it was only similar.  It wasn't close enough for my liking.  So I finally set out into the land of Pinterest to find a recipe that was a good Copy Cat.  I found a few, combined them and came up with what I think is a very close Copy Cat Recipe of Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal. Here's what I do (note, this recipe is really just pictures, because I don't really have measurements for these things.  The photos aren't great, but it's easier if I show you what I do)... Here's the Phase 1 ingredients...   Milk Honey Yogurt (I use a vanilla greek yogurt) Oats (old fashioned, not quick...you probably could do steel cut too)    I've simplified this to where you only need a bowl and a spoon for Phase 1 becau...
