Teaholic not quite anonymous

Since Maddy and I have been out and about so much over the last few days I feel like the house has been falling down around me. So Friday we spent at home and I spent part of the day trying to catch up some. SHEESH, I feel like as soon as I accomplish one thing four more pop up in their place. I don't know how all stuff tends to accumulate the way it does, but I am CONSTANTLY putting things away. Drives me NUTS. The kitchen tends to be the worst. It's a dropping spot for everything and anything because it's the one area that Maddy can't reach yet and still is easily accessible to me. What I need is a good three hours with Matt and Maddy out of the house to REALLY get this place organized and cleaned up. I did get three good loads of laundry done, though.

I tried my hand at stuffed peppers on Friday. I had red, yellow and orange peppers from BJs that were starting to turn so I thought it'd be a good way to use them. I kind of winged it with the filling since I wanted to use what I had on hand. So I stuffed it with italian sausage, tomato sauce, 1 can of green chilies and tomatoes, and brown rice. I dumped a can of Progresso Tomato Soup over the top. They were REALLY decent! I liked it with the sausage instead of hamburger. I added a small bit of shredded mozzarella over the hot peppers at the end before serving. I wound up having so much filling that I sent Matt and Maddy out to get more peppers for Saturday, too. Although, I didn't like the way Saturday's turned out. I had to add more tomato sauce to the filling since it dried out some overnight and it lost some of it's bite.

Matt went into work for four hours on Saturday. He was discussing working late a couple of nights last week and I asked him if he could just do the Saturday thing instead and if it was possible. I am pretty beat by 6 when he gets home from work that I'd rather have Maddy to myself on Saturday for a bit than put her to bed by myself on the week day. It was quite productive though to get ahead since there wasn't anyone there to bug him with the day-to-day type stuff and emails to respond to.

Speaking of Matt and work. He's officially been given the OK to hire someone to work for him as Information Security... (forgot the official title) 'guy'. So that's increased his job title to Information Security Manager. Plus, another of his coworkers quit on Friday and he's now interim manager for that as well while they find someone to hire in the next couple of weeks. I know he feels pretty good that his work is being acknowledged and that things are going well.

We have quite a busy day 'tomorrow' (but since it's 3:30 I guess I should just say 'this morning'). We have church in the morning. We haven't been in forever. Our last attempt was three weeks ago! Then I'm hoping to get Maddy an early lunch and then nap because we have a birthday party in the afternoon to attend.

Ok, I'm going to try to get some more sleep. I have some really cute pictures of Maddy with some italian ice yesterday, but I didn't want to go rummaging around in the kitchen (again, it's always in the kitchen) and waking the house up to get the uploaded. I will do so tomorrow.

Goodnight, I hope!

Tea of the day: Yesterday I had two large glasses of suntea
WO: None yesterday, but the day before I did a lot of weights, resistance bands and jump rope. While I don't feel like it's as good of a workout as my elliptical, it's good to vary my workouts. We'll see how this goes! Oh, Verizon has FitTV and it's great for recording and then doing during the day.
