And Then there was 1

 
 
Dear Diary,
 
I have been waiting for my house to become a bit quieter, the grocery bill to become lower, my sanity to come back to me a little bit...BUT, maybe I'm not!
 
 
Today was the big day, we woke up early, made sure everything was packed and ready, loaded the cars up and off we were to take my middle son to college. Oh yes, ladies and gents I did just say college, I know you all know where this is heading!
 
I was doing great, enjoyed the 2 hour car ride (had my T-tops off) and it was a beautiful day! We got there, of course he was on the 3rd floor. We arrived on campus and started unloading the cars, WOW did he have a lot of stuff. The men were working on putting together furniture and little odds and ends and myself and my sons grandma started putting clothes, food, little stuff away and doing a bit of decorating. All was still good and well. Once we were done my sons grandparents left and then it was just Cory, myself, my middle son and my youngest. We hung out for a while talking, went to a meeting about football, had dinner. It was really an awesome way to spend his first day on campus with him!
 
Now it comes time to leave, we each give him hugs and kisses of course, and each of us take a picture with him in his dorm, piece of cake! We then proceeded to drive him to the hall he had to be at before we left. He gets out of the car, I wave tell him I love him, see him walking up the sidewalk. 2 minutes down the road and the tears won't stop coming!
 
 
Finally I calm down and Cory lets out a big yell joking around "only 1 more to go" I then look back at my youngest son who I now see is in full blown tears! What happens next you may ask? My tears start flowing again! I calm down, enjoy the ride home, sit down to work on the blog, happen to look up and see his picture, what do I do? I start crying yet again!!!
 
Now for those of you that haven't had kids leave the nest, it is almost devastating. No matter where they are going or how happy you think it will be it just breaks your heart! My oldest son moved out last summer, he has been on his own for a year and its still strange not seeing him in the house, now today...that means I only have one left! I need to figure out a way to keep him from growing!!!
 
 
Go Muskies!!!

Buffalo Chicken Nachos

  Football has started so everyone wants something to snack on BUT I even look for something different for dinner. I tried to look up buffalo chicken shit on a shingle with no recipes but I came across this one. Now you can do the nachos or you can create your own shit on a shingle version with a piece of toast and melted cheese on top of the toast with the buffalo chicken on top...hmmmm... Anyways, here ya go. Recipe makes 6-8 servings. What you'll need: Nachos.... 1/3 - 1/2c you're favorite hot sauce 3c cooked shredded chicken 8-10oz tortilla chips 1 1/3 - 2c shredded Mexican blend cheese Topping.... 1/2c plain greek yogurt 3-5T more of hot sauce 3-4 green onions thinly sliced Create: Preheat the oven to 400˚F. In a medium bowl, mix the hot sauce with the shredded chicken until well coated. Set aside. Place the tortilla chips in an even layer on a baking sheet, face side up so the chips will hold the toppings. Add the chicken evenly over the chips, followed by the cheese. Bak

Home Remedies for Sinus Drainage

Every time I get a sinus infection I have sinus drainage forever or at least it seems so I had looked up ways to help the drainage. Below are a few ideas to try next time you start looking like Rudolph. Drink plenty of fluids Run a humidifier or vaporizer Use saline solution and or a Neti Pot (make your own mixture for the Neti Pot by dissolving 1tsp of sea salt in 1 pint of distilled water. Add a pinch of baking soda to the mixture.) Steam! Boil some water and add some eucalyptus oil to the water (you can use Walmart's brand for this). Lower the pot to a simmer and take a towel over your head and put your head over the pot. Chicken Soup, yes you read that right! A 2000 study found that chicken soup reduces inflammation associated with sinus congestion, runny nose and colds. Warm & Cold Compresses, lay back with the warm compress draped across your nose, cheeks and forehead for 3 minutes. Remove and replace with a cold compress for 30 second
