So Annoying

Why is it that everytime I get in the shower (whether it's morning, noon or night) my son has to poop?!?!? Gotta love having to wipe his little butt while being soaking wet. Sometimes I swear he waits until I get my hair completely wet when I see him drop his pants.

Bill-bored

Driving along Ford Rd. this week I hear this from the backseat:

Adam: "Look mom, the big yellow sign. Call Sam."

Cringe. Yes, it was a billboard advertisement for Sam Berstein. I always fast forward through any 1-800-call-sam commercials so Adam must really pay attention to the TV!

Currently Cooking

This is all my creation. This is also what you get when you only have a few odd ingredients in your household and have to make dinner!

Mediterranean Chicken Pillows

servings: 2.5 (6 pillows)

approx. 1/2 cup olive oil (or if you don't care about your fats, melted butter)
8 sheets Fillo Dough
4-5 chicken breast tenders, cut into bite size pcs.
1/4c sundried tomatoes, chopped (I use the Trader Joes ones, they're cheap & great!)
1/4c kalamata olives, chopped
1/2c mozarella cheese, shredded
1/2c fresh spinch, chopped

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

In a medium bowl mix together the tomatoes, olives, cheese and spinach. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.

Brush a large cutting surface with some olive oil. Place a single sheet of fillo dough on the oiled surface and brush with more oil. Top with another layer of dough and oil until you've used 4 sheets of dough. Cut the layers of dough into three equal sections (not long ways) and top each section with a generous scoop of the tomato mixture. Top each mixture with 4-5 peices of chicken then fold the dough over and seal the edges the best you can. Place on a baking sheet and then start the process all over again until you've made the last 3 pillows.

Bake for 18-19 minutes or until golden brown.

Serenity Now

This has been the most aggrivating week of my life. I've been channelling George Costanza about 100 times a day stating "SERENITY NOW!!!!!"
Brian has been working 12+ hour days. Adam is sick and refuses to cooperate with anything.

Bedtime = screaming fit of rage
Eating = screaming fit of rage
Anytime I tell him 'no' = screaming fit of rage
Turning off the tv = screaming fit of rage
Put your shoes on so we can leave = screaming fit of rage
Walk out the front door = screaming fit of rage
the list goes on and on and on......

As a matter of fact there's one going on right now that I'm trying my best to ignore. Tonight he refuses to eat the food I made and therefore I being hit right now. He just broke his favorite toy today yelling at me because I won't turn the tv on.

I'm at the point of dispair. If he doesn't eat or drink anything in one day will he die? I sure hope not because that means he won't be around tomorrow.

Motherhood is for the birds.
