Its official......WINTER SUCKS!!!

It is Friday but the weekend ahead is going to be busy.

Jess has a volleyball tournament at Drake University and we have to be there at 7:15 am. It is about 45 minutes away but we will leave about an hour ahead of time so that would be 6:15. Kids want up an hour prior, that is 5:15.........5:00 am ON A SATURDAY!!!!

Drew had a basketball tournament in Boone and he doesn't have his first game until 11. Boone is about 30 minutes or so away and one of his friends mom is taking him up to the game. Jess' games should be done by 2 and Drew will play at 4 so we will all head up to see his last game or two. Sunday Jess has game but Drew will be finished on Saturday.

So I was watching the food network a few years ago and they were talking about how the old Greek society used to just cook with whatever they had in the fridge or cooler. Leftovers of rice, meat sauces, vegetables or whatever they had, they would combine to make a meal. Well I have adopted that philosophy and from time to time, I throw leftovers together and create kind of a variety fried rice dish. Usually, meat of some kind, vegtables, rice, and some type of sauce like soy or even salsa.

The kids are not big fans of this type of meal. I was going to make chicken burritos but Jess had track practice and then had to go to Ankeny for volleyball practice right after. I figure I will make the burritos tonight and make rice stuff last night.

Drew thought is was terrible and as soon as Jess walked in the door from volleyball practice he said, "Guess what I had for dinner?"........"GREEK" and Jess made the gagging sound.

Nice......real nice!

I plan to take more pictures this weekend and will get them posted to the blog soon.
