It’s Sunday again, and I’ve been keeping up with SPS lately. No smiles this week. The hives are returning. What a fabulous Mother’s Day gift for me. I’ve got hives on my eyes!! I made a run to the drug store and bought a big ole box of Benedryl and I”m trying that before I resort to going to the doctor to get shot full of super strength Benedryl and Prednisone again.
I really hate being on the steroids all the time, it made me hungry and thirsty constantly, and I think I gained a good ten pounds in that two week period. But, at least I wasn’t itchy!! And not being itchy was so…. wonderfully amazing! I’m only slightly itchy compared to my last trip to the doctor, but now that I remember what it’s like to be hive free this little bit is just making me miserable today.
Check out all the Self Portrait Sunday posters over at Midlife Musings.
And it’s Mother’s Day. The boys got up all early and made breakfast and brought it to me. My kids definitely know me, they brought me favorite thing, peanut butter toast and a banana. Such sweet little boys I have. Then they checked on me every ten seconds to see if I had eaten it yet. I got the usual construction paper cards with wonderful letters from them inside, and Ethan painted a butterfly keychain for me at school. So, other than being itchy and blurry eyed, it’s been a good day with my little guys.
Happy Mother’s day to all the Mommies out there!

I can’t believe it’s already May! Where has the time gone? Two things about my pictures today… thing number one, I hate my chin. Thing number two, the air conditioner conked out and my hair seems to have a mind of it’s own. Which, is pretty normal for my hair anyhow, but eh, oh well. So, happy Sunday everybody. And yes, I am wearing that beat up old Grateful Dead shirt again! Get used to it -lol-

So, I’m sitting here wrapping up stuff on Friday night. Did some recipe hunting for Brian so he doesn’t get bored with his rice and carrots -lol- and I decided to participate in Four Foods on Friday. I always mean to play along, and I always forget!
#1. What brand of frozen dinners do you think are the best and why?
I <3 Stouffer's mac 'n' cheese. And also their lasagna. Lean Cuisine's are okay too, but those are also from Stouffer's. So, I guess Stouffer's wins by default.
#2. What is your favorite frozen waffle or breakfast food?
French toast sticks, any brand will do 
#3. Frozen appetizers. Which one is your favorite?
Mozzarella sticks! Mmmmmm yummy!
#4. Share a recipe or meal made from at least one frozen food.
recipe is from Birds Eye’s website, totally yummy stuff. Amazing what you find printed on the back of a bag of veggies!
