An unexpected date with Mr Right

I woke up this morning with great plans of going in to my classroom to get some "stuff" accomplished that has been looming over head and been a black cloud for too long. And by the time I got my feet on the floor, I had a feeling that something was going to go awry. My right eye was stinging and after inspection in the bathroom mirror I noticed I had a stye in my eye. I altered my plans and decided I would shower and go buy an OTC ointment and pick up new makeup later. As I was preparing to run to the store for the ointment and a gallon of milk I was going to get PeeWee dressed in case her and Mr. Right went to visit my in-laws she would look presentable. Well, PeeWee has always been strong willed but I believe she started her terrible two's the day before her 18month birthday. She reached up and grabbed at my face and scratched my left eye in the process.

At first, I thought my eyelashes were in my eye but as the pain set on, I realized it must be worse. Mr Right called my MIL to see if she could watch PeeWee while we went to Urgent Care. Of course, my sweet MIL is always very eager to spend time with PeeWee. :) We dropped her off and we were on our way to Urgent Care for our date.

After a minimal wait time, we we're brought back to be triaged. As I opened my eye for the first time, my eyes burned with pain and tears poured out of my eyes like the first time I had my heart broken. We were to told to have a seat back in the waiting room for a bit and were finally called back. Mr Right entertained me in the waiting room and exam room by going through Pinterest explaining the pins that I could not see. (Isn't he fabulous?) The doctor came in writing drops that he claimed would fix me. I envisioned some sort of miracle drop that would glue the scratched are back together. But I was wrong. They temporarily numbed my eye and he then put in more drops that looked like highlighter juice. He shined a blue light in my eye and he called Mr Right over to see what was apparently a great chasm in my cornea. He said she most definitely caught it with her fingernail and caused a severe corneal abrasion. He prescribed Percocet and an antibacterial drop and said it will be quite painful for 2-3 days but on the good side, they no longer "patch" the eye and my FIL wouldn't need to refer to me as "Ol' Dead Eye". And the Jolly Roger would need to find a different captain this time.

We dropped off my prescription and went to grab lunch at Firehouse Subs. Of course I always see people I know when I don't have makeup on outside of the house. This time was of course a brother/sister set of students I have had this year. As I sat near them I tries to ensure they didn't see me. How embarrassing to have to explain to my students why I am wearing my sunglasses in a restaurant and why tears continually roll down my cheek.. Well anyhow, the plus side to all of it is that I got to have a surprise date with Mr Right and he has been doing a great job taking care of PeeWee and me.

I love the two of them yesterday, today, and tomorrow 2!

Sloppy Joe, Slop, Sloppy Joe!

Sloppy Joe, Slop, Sloppy Joe! 

What says childhood better than a good Sloppy Joe? So how does one craft sloppy joes without a particular canned sauce? EASY!

Ingredients

1 lb ground turkey
1 small onion
3/4 C. Catchup
4 tsp. red wine vinegar
4 tsp. worcestershire sauce
4 tsp. sugar
4 tsp. mustard
1 tsp. garlic powder

Spray cooking spray in a sautee pan. Brown ground turkey and onion. Add catchup, red wine vinegar, worcestershire, sugar, mustard and garlic powder when turkey is cooked through. Simmer until ready to serve on a toasted hamburger bun.

PeeWee and Mr. Right were caught numerous times with their hands in the pot.

Help in the kitchen

It is such a wonderful experience to have PeeWee helping me in the kitchen. I started a delicious Crockpot Beef Stew that we found at: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/slow-cooker-beef-stew-i/

As we drove home anticipating our delicious dinner that was waiting for us, I started to wish we had some  biscuits to have with dinner. I decided we would venture in making out own from scratch. I found this tasty recipe in our Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook. 

Ingredients

3 Cups All Purpose flour

4 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp salt

1T. Sugar

3/4 C. butter

1 1/2 C. Buttermilk

Add all the dry ingredients and cut butter in with pastry blender. Mix until mix resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center pour all buttermilk into the well and mix with fork. When mix is moistened, pour mix onto floured surface. Fold over 5-6 times. Roll out dough to 3/4" and cut out biscuits with biscuit round. Place on greased cookie sheet and bake 10 minutes in 450 degree oven. 

Welcome

WELCOME

Welcome to my mommy blog! I am by no means an expert on being a mommy in fact, I am more of a novice. I am a mommy to 1 beautiful almost 18 month old little girl, PeeWee. I am married to the man of my dreams, Mr. Right and we live a beautiful life together. I am a licensed Elementary school teacher and I am finishing up my first year teaching. Through believing in God's plan and the love and support from Mr. Right, we have decided that I will not be teaching next year. Instead, I will get to stay home with PeeWee. I daydream and Pin about the fun things that we will be able to do at home when I am not consumed with the obligations to grade papers, create flipcharts, and do reading interventions for students. It will be an exciting journey as I organize our home, figure out where to cut costs, and most importantly provide PeeWee with all of the mommy time that she deserves.

The title of my blog, "Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow too (2)" Comes from the book I Love you Through and Through that PeeWee received from my sweet MIL.

Thank you for stopping by! I am so excited to get my mommy blog rolling!
