A mom and a WARRIOR!: Saturday!

Hoping you all had a fantastic 4th of July! Mine was PERFECT! A little World Cup, a little sun and pool time, and a few cocktails with great friends. Can't beat it!

Today is much of the same, minus sun, friends, and cocktails. World Cup and UFC! Not a bad day.....at all. This is a summer filled with fun!

Weidman is fighting tonight! HOPING he wins! Love this philosophy. Push forward, keep going, improve.

I skipped my workout today since I did double yesterday AND my ass and legs are extremely sore. Eeeeeeee! Tomorrow I will be doing the church workout AND yoga! Gotta get that burn in WITH my strength and flexibility work.

Yoga does chill me out.....for a SHORT while.

We have a fridge full of yummy, healthy food! I am cooking and we are avoiding eating out....unless we have a gift card. I am going to be a Nazi with our summer budget. Declan's day camp (3x a week) is pricey and we need to start being more careful with the summer budget. Fucking sucks. I really just want to be independently wealthy, workout, and have someone cook my meals and clean my house. Why is this so hard to understand??

Why has the universe NOT recieved my message that I would be a DARLING millionaire???

I just put my yummy turkey meatballs in the crock pot. Kids and hubby will probably make meatball subs. I will eat the balls with veggies on the side!

Meatball recipe:
frozen meatballs
sauce-2 cans of tomato sauce, 1 small can of tomato paste, Italian seasoning, basil, oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, Worcestershire sauce ( a lot), and just a hint of mustard, soy sauce, and fresh black pepper.....and 1 medium onion, chopped.
Put it all in the crock pot for several hours. Done!

This is still semi frozen, I just thought I'd show you what it looks like.

I'm TRYING to cook more in the crock pot over the summer. Turning on our oven heats up our tiny little house. UNCOMFORTABLE!!

Tried this the other day. Crock pot orange chicken. I used sugar free orange preserves and I served it with brown rice. YUM!
Cheap Orange Chicken

I accused my husband of being OBSESSED with Call of Duty the other day after he spent 5 hours playing. I then realized that since summer started, I've watched 65 episodes of Toddlers and Tiaras. I proceeded to quickly shut the hell up.
