this has been the most interesting week, as far as uncommon things…

I’ve started the site renovations.  The entire site is pretty much GONE except for this blog. LOL.  Have you seen the main page lately? www.bunnycates.com  Yep, WE KNOW. lol…  Maybe this time I’ll LOVE the new theme and it will be the last makeover we need for a while…

you see, here is something we rarely see…  my son, SMILING!  He usually goes straight into the “I hate you face” at the mere glimpse of a camera. But not today. 

See today he finally caved and got his haircut.  Anything to make Mom shuddup happy. 

I tired to get him to cut it like Joe Jonas, or like that Zac “messy haired” Efron, but he informed me they were both examples of young men with “sexuality issues” umm yea, we’ll say that’s what he said.  

He left with Darrin, and all my wonderful celebrity hairdo ideas. 

He came home, looking just like Darrin. LOL..  My men and their “high and tight” military do’s. 

Bug and I bitched about the non-jo-bro-fro  “oo’d and ahhhh’d” and of course I whipped out the trusty Canon.  Much to my surprise, there were SMILES and *gasp* laughter!  Laughter, in THIS house!  Can you imagine such a thing!

ahh come on man don’t make that mean face!  Here I begged him not to spoil the fun shots, and to “turn that frown upside down”  Which resulted in laughter and me being told I was retarded the best mom EVER!

Seriously, this next shot is my favorite pic of Bub, out of even his baby shots!  So lovin this pic!!

after this though he was done placating his mother having his photos taken and he went to his room. 

I of course wasn’t sure I got the PERFECT shot and these were what followed.

When I saw the next one in my viewfinder I put the camera away and came into my office and cried.

Its sadly apparent that my baby boy is no longer a baby or a boy.  He is a teenager (2 more months!) and damn near a man.  *sigh*  Yep, today I decided parenting really does suck is a wonderful experience.

  the other thing…

a comment my aunt made on my blog the other day really has gotten me to thinking.

I said on a post “I love my life” and she replied it was great to actually see someone say that.  Why is that great? Doesn’t everyone love their life?  I really have been thinking about it ever since she posted it.

I mean life is hard sure.  Money is tight, kids don’t do as you think they should, but really… in the grand scheme of things is life so bad?  I know mine isn’t.  Its far from perfect but I really don’t think I would have it any other way!  Its too short I think, life I mean.  If you just sat around pining for the ‘would’ve should’ve could’ve” you really miss out on the do’s, the RIGHT NOWS, the have gots….

at least that’s how I see it.

Im just thinking…

Right now, I have a home.  Its not perfect but it’s MINE. 

Right now, I have my kids.  Puberty hasn’t taken them from me just yet.  They’re not perfect but they’re mine.  and they still like hanging out with MOM and that’s might alright by me! 

Right now, I have a man.  He’s grouchy as hell and is always up when I’m sleeping.   He’s not perfect, shoot no!  But he’s mine.

See, I see it like this.  I could’ve had a mansion, but would it have been a home?  I could had perfect kids, but then they probably wouldn’t have liked me.  And yep, I could’ve gotten with an easy going fella, but if I’m truthin…one of them kind wouldn’t be able to put up with me and it sure wouldn’t have lasted…

so if you dont think you “love your life”  maybe you should set back and have real good look around.  Im sure if your sitting here reading this that if you lean back there are probably signs of your “perfect” all around you.  You just haven’t really noticed em yet.

BIG HUGS my friends!  Here’s hopin’ you come to realize that your life really aint that bad ah-tall….

Not much to say today, got lots to do and the day is already half gone!

First: Some Food

RECIPE:  Bunny’s Lowfat Pancake Breakfast

Serves: 3 adults

1 cup Heartsmart Bisquick
2/3 cup Fat Free Milk
Egg substitute = to 1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 banana
4-5 Strawberries
1/2 cup Low Fat Vanilla Yogurt (I LOVE Light & Fit or Activia)
2 Tblsp Fat Free Whipped Topping

Prep:

Preheat Griddle or skillet.

In mixing bowl mix Bisquick, Milk, egg sub, and vanilla.  When griddle is hot, start cooking.  I use a 1/8 cup measuring cup to scoop and poor batter.  This gives me 6 good sized pancakes!  While the pancakes are cooking slice bananas and dice strawberries.  In another bowl combine yogurt and whipped topping.

To serve:
Place a pancake on your plate, layer a few banana slices, place another pancake, sprinkle some banana slices, strawberries, and a few tbsp of the topping mix.  So each plate gets too pancakes and some of everything else.

To my best guess (mathin’ is no  longer my forte) This is ABOUT 300 calories.  Of course it all depends on  how much fruit and how much topping you add.

second: new schtuff!
