I am thinking I'll start blogging about my family more often. I LOVE picture blogs so I might start doing just that.
My husband left for Boston Tuesday morning. His job requires him to travel, quite often. This was his first trip out of town. I think he was excited about it. I hope he likes his job here in the USA now though. I know it must be a lot different than Norway. I know Americans are different than Norwegians.
A part of me does miss the Norwegian culture. For so many years I kept rejecting it. But as soon as I started losing weight I started to embrace it even more. I would have embraced it even more if we had decided to continue living there. I don't really know if I would have gone further with my studies though. I don't even know if I'm going to continue them here. I really want to though. But life is just getting started for me here. I'm still young. I know I can do what I want to do. I'm not 100% sure what that is yet though. It will take some time.
I need my stuff here first though. I can't wait to have all my things back! I am really in the mood to start organizing but I need proper things to start organizing with. I guess I could start with my clothes upstairs. I just hate the thought of letting my kids watch TV all day while I clean. It will be a lot better once they start school. I will get some time to myself, probably to do the grocery shopping in peace, while they go have some fun at school. I have to say I miss the barnehage in Norway. They were such nice ladies. The kids were brats, some of them and I could never understand everything they would tell me but the ladies who worked there were nice. They aren't as strict in Norway as they are here. It's such a different culture! They really concentrate on letting the kids spend more time outdoors there than they do here. Of course we are talking about just a daycare here. Not school. I'm sure it's a bit different with school.
Anyway, speaking of school. I let my kids do a little project for me here at home. I bought some cheap frames at Walmart I believe, for 99 cents each. I bought some foam stickers and let them decorate the frames. I love them! I need to put the picture in them a bit better but they are cute and are sitting (for now) on my desk in the office.
So lately I have been blogging about my breakfasts! I don't know why but I guess it's always nice to have something to do. I could think of more things to do around the house but I am really good at procrastinating! I need to get better about that actually. I try to keep myself busy around the house but with my two kids it can be a bit hard at times.
Today for breakfast I had two waffles. I'm thinking I should have had me some eggs on top of that. I miss fried eggs and salsa! Yum! I might have that tomorrow actually. I don't know. We'll see.
I had a cup of fruit. Mangos, Melon and strawberries. I also had half a banana on top of all this. I was under 300 calories for breakfast. I made up for it at lunch though.
I had one of my moms tortillas with cheese, chicken, avocado, salsa and romaine lettuce. Oh yeah and sour cream. It was delicious!!! I like my moms tortillas but not all the time actually. They get a bit hard and crack easy and aren't very good for burritos. Maybe when they are fresh but not after a couple days. But I enjoyed my burrito regardless.
For snacks I had an apple and a fiber one bar. I also had a yogurt. I'm about to sit down and have dinner. I am patiently waiting for my brother but I'm thinking I'll have to start eating without him. I will be warming up last nights dinner for tonights dinner. Will be adding some chicken though and perhaps a sprinkle of cheese.
;-)
Tomorrow I will be making crockpot chicken! I can't wait!!! I am throwing in some chicken breasts, salsa, cream of mushroom soup and my own blend of taco seasoning spices. I'm not sure what else. But I hope it turns out good! I think we'll be eating it with either rice or a salad. I might do both. I can't wait!
Oh yeah and something else. I organized one of my cupboards the other day. I am proud of it!
I added my kids cups at the top so they could have easy access to them. I think I'll be changing it a bit later on though once I get more of their things here. But I love having this huge cupboard for nothing but plastics. Easy access! I just hope it doesn't get super messy with time. I'm sure it will. lol
And here's my spice cabinet as well. I love it! I'm still missing quite a few spices though. I'll buy them as I need them.
I really want to make a new recipe I saw online somewhere. It sounds so good especially for breakfast! And for a fall breakfast too. Served warm. Yum! Pumpkin Oatmeal I believe.
Anyway, that's enough for today.
I'll leave you with a picture of my son eating breakfast with me this morning. =)
Not yet wanting to go potty in the toilet but I am trying to soak up all the hugs and kisses he gives me. =) He's my cutie pie!
Until Next Time!
