The curse of the Sunday sweet tooth

We got home from the in-laws about 6:30 and I couldn't shake it. I needed a sugar fix. Popsicles were available for the taking but I needed something hearty. My mom always made a lemon poppyseed bundt cake and I adored it. I savored every bite. But there was always something it needed- MORE FROSTING! Frosting isn't a problem with this beauty.

By the time I finished making it I noticed Dill and Derek were dead to the world on the couch. I can always count on Kasi though! Yum, more for us.

Easy Lemon Poppy Seed Cake

1 box lemon cake mix

1 box instant lemon pudding

1/4 cup poppy seeds

2/3 cup water

1/2 cup softened butter

3 eggs

(I threw in about 1/2 cup of white chocolate chips, call me crazy)

Blend all ingredients. Grease and flour bundt pan (or bread pan). Pour batter in pan and spread it around evenly. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-45 min. Cool for 15 min. and then add glaze. (should still be warm)

Lemon glaze

2 cups powdered sugar

1 tsp . vanilla

3 TBL. milk

3 TBL softened butter

3 TBL. lemon juice (add more if too thick)

mix and drizzle

I don't know if you do this- but by the time I was finished licking the bowls and beaters of the cake and frosting I had met my sugar quota and didn't want any of the finished product . I'm sure tomorrow it will be very tasty!

The power of a post

I spoke too soon - the christmas tree, fence posts, and broken umbrella have been taken to a dumster!

And Dillon had a "late night" (we don't do sleepovers with friends) last night with a friend while Kasidee went to her friends for one. Trying to kill time before she left Kasi made a welcome sign for Luke for when he came over. She showed the sign to Dillon and he said," Um, thanks Kas. But I'd really just like the house to be clean." and when she gave him the "say what" look. He said,"Well, at least put your shoes in your room."
What an angel! (see how easily we moms forget)

Your probably wondering (not really) how my weight loss plan is going-
My die hard sister invited me to a class at the gym, AT 5:45 AM! That alone killed me, but today, let's just say I'm not sure when I will regain full use of my legs.
And to top it off- Today I had three cokes, Apollo burger for lunch, popcorn, a sucker, and-just now- some cake. So yeah it's going well thank you.

And yeah, the red hair was an oops.

So, what's been goin on with you?

It's the question I get from every client. I might need to borrow some stories because I think I have said. "um nothing really" about 50 times this week! Because nobody really care's that I:

Am now a red head, and I totally planned it that way because if you have blue eyes red hair makes them stand out (or so I have heard :) )

Live in a world of TV reruns and old movies.

When Dillon was in the tub I heard him say, "I am finally debt free!"
He also told Derek that he could "trade his gold for cash."
Derek and Dillon can only recite movie lines to each other, anytime, all the time. I had to put my foot down at the dinner table the other day and say we could only talk about what is going on in REAL LIFE.

Am trying to loose weight.

And PLEASE don't comment if your going to tell me "Oh you look fine". Because, ladies and gentlemen, the scales don't lie. And the lady at Smith's asked me when my baby was due.

Am having an argument over home improvement issues with Derek.

Hmm, I don't know, let's try to get something, anything, 100% finished before we move on to something new-like building a pergola because the weather is nice. How about we fix the cracked and flaking tile and grout. Or maybe throw away the old fence and Christmas tree in the backyard. What about the finishing touches I have been asking for in the salon for a year now.

have a 5 year old who is driving me insane!!

go brush your teeth- whine, fit , tantrum
we are going to the gym- whine, fit , tantrum
get dressed for the day at 4:00- whine, fit, tantrum
sorry, you can't play with a friend at 7:00 am- whine, fit, tantrum

AHHHHH!!!! Who is this wildly emotional, lazy, child!!

Am actually pretty happy with the usual, and glad that "nothing really" is going on right now.
