Share A Spoon: Apple Cake
Today I am linking up with Think Tank Mama for Share a Spoon! This week it's all about APPLES!
(I know I posted this recipe before but it is so yummy and it fit so enjoy)
Apple Cake
2 cups apples cubed
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease a 9-in cake pan. Combine all ingredients until smooth (of course there will be apple chunks) and pour into prepared cake pan. Bake until toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Cool about 10 minutes and remove from cake pan to cool completely.

Hair It Is
Okay so I didn't post pictures of my teased hair/new hair cut but... I dyed my hair last night. Funny story actually, my sister and I rode last night, were did we ride... To Walgreens to buy hair dye, I felt like I was in middle school riding to the drug store to by hair dye because my mom wouldn't let me. Anyhow here are the pictures of my new look (not the best pictures I took them myself)
(Before)
After
That Kid
I went to Bear's Preschool Back to School Time today (okay yesterday, I was working on this and didn't finish) and something that happened while I was there was a perfect tie into something I have been planning on posting. Little background for you; Bear is a wild child, a little love bug, perfect gentleman, and future President of Animal House all in one. I kid not friends! One minute he will tell me "mommy, you are beautiful" and then the next he will drop his pants in the middle of his sisters birthday party and pee (we were in the backyard) and see how high of an angle he can get his pee to go. OH YES HE DID! He and his cousin also tried to turn himself into a mummy with toilet paper and tacky glue! So my child is no little angel, he is however MY little man who I would wouldn't trade for the world.
Anyhow, today as I am leaving I hear a father talking to the teacher "you know my daughter keeps telling me that a little boy in her class is pushing her and steps on her fingers, she doesn't know the little boys name". I automatically think it is Bear and I question him about it as soon as we step out the door. He tells me that he never stepped on any one's fingers and the only girl he pushes is P-nut. OK with that answer I believe him!
I am so that mom who thinks that my son in the cause of the problem a.k.a. "That Kid". He is not a "bad" boy, he is an "imaginative" boy. I say this because he is not mean, I truly believe that, he is just not that mean kid. He is just a crazy kid. Someone once told me that boys and girls are different in the following way; girls look at something and say "I could get hurt doing that so I will not try it" and boys look at the same thing and will say "I am going to get hurt doing that, but it is going to be FUN". I think it is so true! (I am sure there are some girls out there who have the view of the boys and some boys who are not that daring)
People I work with always tell me that it is good that I am aware that my child is no angel (especially since we come across many parents who feel their child does no wrong), of course there are some people who just don't believe me when I tell them just how my son is (I guess they have only seen that sweet, well behaved side). Then they witness his fun loving manner and look at me and say "wow, you do have your hands full". Don't get me wrong there are plenty of times that I wish Bear would be calm and not make a spectacle out of a trip to Target, but at the same time, life would not nearly be as "fun" as it is without his little antics, call me crazy!

De-Crapped
Not sure if that is how you would spell that but... I have been out of touch since Friday afternoon when my laptop "blue screened" and gave me the kiss of death! Leaving me without my beloved laptop (sorry I have not responded to comments) until this morning. Turns out my computer did not "fully" crash, whatever that means... It did however get de-crapped, I am aware that this is not the technical term for it, but it is however the term that was told to me "It is fine now, we de-crapped it". O-k, sure... I didn't realize that you could de-crap something but I'll go with that, it is fine now and working like it is new, oh wait it is new! So I was thinking... My computer has an issue and desides to stop working and then it gets de-crapped and is better...
Can I be "de-crapped"?
I wish someone would take all the yuck in me and de-crap me. Like the pepperoni pizza I ate for lunch yesterday, the fact that I am having feelings of being an inadequate mom for working full time out of the home, or that I have realized that I have issues, I need to relax, realize that Bear is 3.5 years old and is not playing for a Major League Soccer Team (more on that later)!

Exercise TV
I was so happy last night to have found Jillian Michaels on Exercise TV! I purchased one of her DVD's over the weekend (I have yet to use it, busy week) and last night while looking through what was available on Exercise TV I found a bunch of her workouts, one of them was the yoga level 1. I decided to give it a try. Hubs had just gotten home from class and I had about 30 minutes to kill before he was ready to hang out and watch Grey's. Let me tell you! I got my butt kicked. I did however love that she admitted straight off that she was not flexible, I was happy because it made me feel like I had her beat in something! (I am so competitive) This morning I am feeling muscles that I know I have not worked in a while and I am loving that! I love a challenge and I need it! I like changing things up in my workouts, I have been on the same plan for a while now... I am obsessed now, I want to master all that her workout had in it!
Happy Friday!
