This past week I did two different meals, where I took leftovers and changed them into a new meal. As I do this frequently, I thought I would share with you what I do. The first meal was made from leftover turkey. Actually, I had canned the leftover turkey from Christmas, but one of the jars didn’t seal and was sitting in the fridge. When I opened the fridge to “stare” at the contents for a while and try to come up with dinner, I saw the jar and thought, “Oh, I need to use that.” |

I I am here to testify that it is no so. If anything, you become more and more busy. Of course, I do not have to do many of the tasks that I used to have to do. I rarely pick up toys anymore, but now I edit college papers, help fill out FASA forms, help them with resumes, towing a car, buying something, and so on. I do not change diapers anymore, but I still buy diapers (for my mom), clean and empty her potty, help her bath, comb her hair, help get her ready for church, and do her laundry. |

Yesterday, I ran the 9 pounds of cooked pork through the food processor, then added 13 pounds of Mozzarella cheese. I mixed those with my hands in 3 different bowls then added the sauce. I put everything out that I needed to make the Pupusas then went to work on the computer. Later in the afternoon, the boys put everything in the Suburban and I drove to the school. Maria showed up after she took the two little girls to a friend's house where they spent the night and she helped me set up the griddles, and then she started making tortillas balls. |

It is Monday afternoon and I have taught two classes today. I started a new training program today. It looks like it will be a great class. The employees are all educated and have a real desire to complete this training...and desire is a necessary drive of success. Right now, I am sitting outside a Panera Bread using their wireless, while I am waiting to meet with the tax accountant. I have about 15 minutes to kill. I had forgotten how great a laptop could be. I am so glad I bought this laptop. |

Well, we are snowed in again. We didn’t have school yesterday or today as another snowstorm came in to Oklahoma. We still have wood to burn and the electricity is on, so we are enjoying our break. I, actually was lazy yesterday, and read a book, spent time just surfing on the Internet, and watching movies. Fito cooked dinner, which was nice. Today, I woke up early and have been working like crazy. Doing laundry, general cleaning, doing taxes for the children, working on my training classes, paying bills, and so on. |

We just keep getting sick. Now a stomach virus is going around. I guess that is to be expected. My husband works at a school in another town. I work at three different locations. Moreover, the four children are each in different schools. Statistically, we are doomed to bring something thing home and then we pass it among one another. Felipe and David stayed home yesterday, and David was running a fever again. The doctor changed his antibiotic to something stronger. Today I have Elizabeth and Rebeca home. |

Thursday evening, I had a rush of energy and so I made 19 loaves of Poppy Seed bread and cleaned. Friday, December 10th, I got the children off to school and pulled a Turkey out of the freezer and made aSpanish Turkey. I also made a large batch of rice using the broth from the Turkey. Tonight, was the Christmas Social at church. Travis and Maria picked up my mom and the children and took them and the food. I heard that it was really good and that the program was really inspiring. |

Sunday, December 4th. I cut some new branches from the Crabapple tree and put them with some Pampa grass for an arrangement for church. The meeting was exceptional today! I went to teach my class of 3 year-olds and everything went fine during class. It was when we went to sharing and singing time that two of the boys gave me problems. They did not want to sit...period...and were making noises, etc. I kept taking them out. When I go out, I usually just go to an empty classroom, unless they are screaming and then I take them outside. |

Saturday, I got up about 8 and did some stuff on the computer. Then my husband and I got ready to go to a job. He has been carving a rock for a gentleman that lives about an hour and a half from us. We hadn't been there for such a long time. We had the trailer hooked up, all the tools loaded, were just leaving town when I remembered the plumber was coming today and I had told him I would leave him cash inside the dryer. We made a quick stop to an ATM, drove back home, deposited the cash, told the children he was coming and then left. |

Same as always, teach class, kids to school, morning routine. I did do some laundry early, but that is because I did not go for a walk. When I came back from teaching I made: Carmel Corn Pop 1 bag of microwave popcorn. Put the popcorn in a large flat baking dish. Remove all the kernels. In another sauce pan put: 2 cups of brown sugar 1/2 cup corn syrup 2 sticks of butter Bring to a boil and boil 5 minutes. Add: 1 teaspoon of vanilla Pour the mixture over the popcorn and stir. |
