new carpet, new creation, new career...

well there you have it, we got the carpet for the family room today! and we love it! and it looks amazing! and the kids were super excited to play on it! sort of makes me wonder why we didn't take that plunge a little sooner.

i also created a new idea for dinners around here...italian (pizza) style quesadilla's. leave it to the german/irish girl to think up an italian twist to a mexican dish! but let me tell you, they were amazing! i diced up some chicken, sauted it with some garlic salt and other seasonings, put my tortilla shells on my hot skillet, topped them with cheese, my cooked chicken, pizza sauce and olives, folded the shell in half once the cheese was melted, flipped it for a few more minutes, cut it into 4's and man oh man, they were delicious! you have to try it!

and i got my computer all set up and linked to the doctor's office this afternoon. so i was able to get in my first (pretty successful) hour and a half of at-home-work-time accomplished while the kids were taking their nap! what a blessing this is already. when i started hearing them stirring in their beds, i finished up the section i was working on, logged out for the day, wrote down my time worked and turned off my computer screen. just minutes later i was holding sleepy babies, changing their diapers and playing in the family room with them.

for the first time in my life, i can honestly say, the last few months things have felt right on track. im not sure which track it is, but it feels like the right one and i hope to stay on it for a while!
