Teenagers
Raising children is never boring, as I'm sure all moms out there will agree. I, happen to enjoy those little 'adventures' the little curves they throw at you from left field, it keeps life interesting.
Teenagers are especially great for this particular action! I'm so relieved to say I have an excellent relationship with both my teen boys, I truly am blessed. We share an open communication line, with nothing off limits. The agreement is as long as they're honest, they don't get in trouble.
Today while talking talking to my 15y.o he was questioning me on how I know certain things about his life and friends he doesn't share. Basically how I fill in the blanks. So, I decided the time is about right to share with him exactly what my gifts entail.
I explain to him that I am an empath, and in that I can feel what he's going through, so when he shares details with me, it's basically filling in the blanks. This gift makes it easier to communicate with my sons since they don't really talk much, I always have clues to spark our talks in the right direction.
Parenting teens is most definitely a challenge, but with it comes the greatest joys of watching them develop into respectful, productive members of society. That my friends, is what makes me proud!

Family Dinner
Since Jason started his 4-12 shift and misses dinner with us during the week, I've made it a point to make a mice meal on the weekends when he's home. On Sunday I made a meatloaf, well 2 small ones so they would cook faster.
Well when I tell you how much everyone went crazy over that meatloaf, LOL A few years ago I stopped making meatloaf because nobody would eat it!!
Jeff even asked me if I would leave him my recipe in my will(long story to come another time).
Needless to say meatloaf will now become a regular feature on the menu in our house :D
Recipe:
Groundbeef(for my family I used 7lbs)
Italian-style breadcrumbs depends on how much meat you use
Eggs again depending on how much meat, usually 2, I used 3
Lipton dry onion soup mix, 1 or 2 pkgs
Worcestershire sauce splash it over the top of your meat mound, again, the amount depends on the size
NOW...for the most important part of the meatloaf making...you take a small bowl of warm water and you wet your hands, then you mix the meatloaf, when your hands are dry you wet them from the bowl again, and you continue to do so until your meatloaf is well mixed, squishy and moist from the water bowl!
Bake in 375 oven for approx 1.5 hrs my meatloaf was 2 small loaves if yours is one loaf it may only need 1 hour.
Enjoy <3

I'm gonna be a Great Aunt, aw c'mon I already am! ;b
For those of you who have been keeping up with me, either blogging or by twitter, you know the story of me being reunited with my nephew after way too many years. Well, he and his wife are expecting their first baby very soon, and I've been scouring the web looking for just the right patterns for my soon-to-be-birthed great nephew! Of course he shall be great, he's a HAGAN! HAHA
I've found some, a Granny Square blanket which is very cool, not too retro, and a cutsie sweater lightweight enough for Houston. Now I need to find some rockin' kick ass beanies and booties and I'll be on my way. He just can't be born 'till then.
Send the stork a memo someone, will ya??
