I have seen this recipe on pinterest and via email but have yet to try it. So this morning, I was feeling eggs and I had a bell pepper in the fridge that I needed to use before it went bad. It was really good, and I will definitely be doing it again. Really easy. Literally just throw whatever you want into the Ziploc bag. I would recommend cooking a little longer than it says because mine wasn't quite done in the middle and to be microwaved an extra minute. Ziploc Omelet Ingredients: 2 eggsshredded cheese Salt and pepper And whatever else you want to add, ie onions, cubed ham or crumbled bacon, green peppers, mushrooms, olives etc.) Fill a pan half full of water, (3 quart pan for three omelets). Bring water to a boil. While water is heating, mix omelet together in a quart sized Ziploc bag. Combine eggs, ham or bacon, onion, cheese (or whatever else you want to toss in there) and add a couple of shakes of salt and pepper. Squish all the ingredients together and close the bag completely making sure there is no air in the bag. Boil in water for 13-14 minutes. Pull out of water carefully. Unzip the baggie and slide onto a plate. Suggestion: serve with salsa. You can cook more then one in a pot as long as you have the right size pot of boiling water.) My knee patient (husband) is doing well. He is 2 days post meniscus repair. We took his bandage off this morning and he got to shower (yea for me). Aside from swelling, his knee looks good. I'm worried that he is walking too much, without crutches. Just praying that he doesn't overdo it.
For the first time in what feels like months, we have zero plans this weekend. I do need to start preparing for Thanksgiving. My sister and I host every year at my house. This will be our fourth year. It still makes me a little nervous. I was hoping to get out to take some pictures (we have none of the 5 of us and I need to do Christmas cards; you would think as much as I take pictures) but it's supposed to be really cold this weekend. And with Josh's bum knee. I can just imagine cold, whiny kids, an irritated husband limping around on crutches, and me yelling at everybody and then crying. Probably wouldn't make for a very good family portrait. I've never been good at indoor photos. It's definitely a challenge for me. We have terrible lighting in our house. Something to think about. For my 35th birthday, I decided to write down 35 things I am celebrating. 35 things I am thankful for.
1. Our home. This is the one I intend to raise my children in. When my babies come home from college to visit, they can sleep in their childhood beds. We will build memories to last lifetimes within these walls. When they visit, they will recall holidays spent under this roof, nerf gun wars, and weekends spent in the pool or playing in the street with their friends. 2. My vehicle. For a safe and reliable ride. 3. My job. For its flexibility so that I may take off early to pick up a sick kid or take an extended lunch to surprise them with lunch at school. And for the self-worth and balance it provides. As well as the income. 4. Health. My children's, my husband's and mine. 5. The Walking Dead and Breaking Bad. 6. Clean sheets. And yummy fabric softener. 7. My camera. It keeps me dreaming. 8. Coffee. 9. My ride to work. Especially during the Fall. 10. Warm weather. 11. Living close to the beach. 12. My husband's job. And that he is able to work. 13. Centerville Elementary. Because they have a great staff and the teachers are amazing. 14. Debbie. Bella's babysitter. Finding her was a miracle. She loves Bella and Bella is so happy when she's with her. 15. Lay's Dill Pickle chips and Flaming Hot Cheeto's. And milk. I love milk. 16. My phone. Sadly, I use my phone a lot. I'm using it right now. But it keeps me in contact with my friends and family. It keeps me organized. And I'm able to capture pictures I might not get if I didn't have a camera at my disposal. 17. My genes. I have a relatively healthy family. 18. Being a mother. And that I was able to carry a baby. Three healthy pregnancies and three beautiful healthy babies. 19. Each of my children and their uniqueness. Their personalities. Cameron's fighting spirit. Jackson's quirkiness. Bella's spunkiness. 20. That my sister moved back home. That our children are growing up together. And for our closeness. And because it's just the 2 of us. 21. Josh's family and their support. 22. My mother. She is truly my biggest fan. It's true that no one can love you as much as your own mother. I know that now. 23. Crock pots. 24. Little League baseball. And the friends we have made. 25. Pinterest. Seriously. It changed my life. 26. My husband. He's one of the best men; son, father, brother, brother-in-law, grandson, friend. He is loyal and self-less. I'm a hard person to love. 27. Our pool. I thought I'd hate it. But we've gotten a lot of use out of it. And my kids are better swimmers because of it. 28. My freedom. 29. My extended family. I'm thankful that Facebook helps us stay connected even though we live so far apart. 30. Nights out with my husband. We don't get very many of these. At all. Which makes them so special. 31. Music. Music is therapeutic for me. It motivates me. It relaxes me. I love to dance. I love to sing (not saying I can). 32. Bella's doctor, And her neurosurgeon. 33. My niece and nephews, Sydney, Jordan and Kaleb. 34. Tivo. Best invention ever. 35. Pinot grigio. Well, it's official. We are old. My man had a knee arthroscopy today to repair a torn meniscus. It went better than (I) expected.
We couldn't figure out why he had to wear a surgical cap. Bella's newest obsession - the movie Tangled. It's been a constant the past few nights. We'll go upstairs to my bed and have some cuddle time. I'll admit, I sorta turned her onto it. It's one of my favorites. Plus, I've been looking forward to the day that we'd spend time together watching girly classics. It's one of the things you dream about when you're pregnant with a little girl, especially after two boys. But, the funny thing is.... it's not always just me & Bella....

AuthorMy name is Kaci. I am a working mom of 3. Wife to Josh. Mom to Jackson, Cameron & Isabella. My life is dinner, homework, baseball, basketball, grocery lists, laundry, middle school, wine, video games, and schedules. I started this blog because I love taking pictures, and I needed a place to document our life. I wanted a place to write it all down, to remember little details so easily forgotten in the mad rush that is the life of a family of 5. Through my photos and words, I endeavor to capture our story.
