So this past week we started off the New Year with a visit from my sister and SweetPea!
Due to the late time and the Canada Jr game lol Sis and I HAD to entertain ourselves…
Yeah those are Sephora Red nails!!! |
After all that snow the girls had Hot Cocoa and pillows (marshmallows) 🙂
Photobombed by Mom!!! |
Best picture EVER! |
SweetPea thinks so too 🙂 |
I got HBear in the shower because it was so late and she did have school the next day… and Ninja opened the door with a nakey SBean?!?!
She blew chunks from our bedroom, into the playpen we had set up for sicky SPea and allllllll the way down the hall.
Awesome. So I cleaned her up with the growing feeling of uneasiness in my belly.
After we got the kids down… finally, I layed down on the couch. I thought it was just for a minute but then my Sis curled up on the chair. We had planned a great night of Cards Against Humanity, chocolate cake and red wine until…
I ran to the bathroom and my Sister grabbed a BIG bowl!
We threw up ALL night!!!
I mean every hour I woke up and my body was first racked by heaving then by the worst chills ever and then the sweats!
In fact, it is now Friday and I am still not over this HORRIFIC stomach flu that my devil of a Niece left for me, she may smell like strawberries and cream but do not be deceived by those innocent big beautiful eyes and sweet scent.
Oh no. Do not be decieved.
LOL
“These girls were so unbelievable together. I can’t believe we live so far apart.”
She actually said this the same day as I talked to my WpgBesty. We talked about her kids, my kids… and I just can’t believe that the 3 women I always expected to to live near, raise my kids with…
are all so far away.
This came on the same day my cousin and her husband, a good friend of mine from… wow, jr high and up lol, told me they were moving back to The Peg.
If you would have told me 10 years ago that I would be raising my kids so far away from from my sister, my WpgBesty or my Mom I would have laughed in your face and said “Not a chance!”
My how things change. I love my life here. I love my new friends.
I will ALWAYS miss my lifelong friends. I will ALWAYS miss my sister. I will ALWAYS miss my Mom.
Hell, I miss my brother, my school friends that I have reconnected with over Facebook in the past few years and my SIL. Every time she is here I think, damn! We would have fun if we lived closer together and so would the kids.
But you know what? We all need to forge our own paths. They don’t expect me to live somewhere just for them and I don’t expect it from them either.
We all go our own ways but our love will remain forever.
And really if we lived close together… we would have missed all the fucking fun of this whole week 🙂
See, everything happens for a reason, apparently this one is for a helluva good story 🙂
Ask my sister about the return trip including the delayed flight and the surprise bus ride to Kelowna all while fighting this Mother Effing Flu!!!
Really you just gotta laugh.

Teriyaki Meatballs
Makes 44 meatballs
Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Combine all the ingredients in the order listed and mix until well combined.
Pour into a greased pie plate or casserole dish would also work.
Sprinkle more mozzarella on top if desired.
Bake for about half an hour until until bubbly and golden (you can broil it at the end if the cheese isn’t toasty enough).
Who doesn’t want a recipe that makes awesome breadsticks in 1 hour?!?!?!?
These were so good! We cut them into Christmas shapes with cookie cutters 🙂
Bake for 15 – 20 minutes at 350 or until lightly browned.
The next day we realized there were still 2 pans in Fort Knox waiting to be baked. (I made 5 pans lol). Ninja rolled them out and made cheese sticks with the leftover maribara for a late night snack.
To. Die. For.
