| Homemade Chicken Parm
Apparently 17 weeks is magical! I was just saying at work today how I am not really hungry, but that, yes, I do snack throughout the day. Then I subconsciously devoured an entire boca burger and then made a Nutella and Banana sandwich for lunch. As well, that dinner hasn't been appealing at all and that I have my after work snack (french frieds, apple pies, marshmallows, or other nasty stuff) and then I'm pretty much done eating for the evening. On the way home from dinner, I wanted to go home and make a broccoli, onion, and tofu stir fry with cheese on top in a pita. Let me fill you in on the items that we currently have in our house: the cheese. We didn't stop at a grocery store on our way home so that plan was a no-go.
When I got home I had a sudden urge to cook chicken parmesan. This is important for two reasons: 1) I usually get home and crash. B) It involves more than 1 step to complete and 3) the chicken was not even defrosted. (That was really three, but who's counting?) So I put the chicken in warm water to defrost and waited for Jesse to go to the gym. While he was at the gym I made a full meal with starch, protein, and veggie! (corn). Upon his arrival home I prepared our plates and served them...of course now I'm wrapped up on the couch in one of my mother-in-law's quilts whilst he does the dishes. I love my husband!
On another note - I am actually watching the new Charlie's Angels (ridicule to ensue...now). One of my earliest memories was of coming home from pre-school and sitting at my little picnic table in the living room with my My Little Ponies dinner tray and a tuna fish sandwich (or whatever my mom was eating, may favorite was when she made me one of her grown-up salads and we had the same thing) and watching the original Charlie's Angels with my mom. I loved that! This new version is actually really good! It has the same theme music, the same Charlie voice, the same scene change graphic-y things, and the same names of characters! Is it weird that I'm actually thinking ahead to when my little one is 4 years old and we are watching Charlie's Angels together after school/work (fingers crossed that the show is still on). This is where I think of all the happy things from my childhood and I want my child to experience those things!
Tomorrow is the last day of my week with students because Friday is a Professional Development day. Fun times :)

AHH! I have a friend who has jet black hair, another that has long blonde hair, and me. So, we call ourselves the angels. Of course, coined by me. I was telling them how I loved that time when you came home from preschool and I made salads and we watched Charlies angels and the waltons! What a combo - both the shows and us! Good times.......
