The things that keep me going! :)

Lately I have been looking at the bad things in my life, and I (and my hubby) thought I should write down the wonderful things I have in my life to kind of forget the bad stuff... My list is not in order from best to worst, or alphabetical, just what comes to my mind... :)
~Being married to my best friend
~My amazing, perfect children (all 5 of them)
~Skyler
~Corbin
~Alyssa
~Levi
~Emma
~Heavenly Father
~In-laws that love me for who I am
~My hubby makes enough money in his job that I don't have to work
~a car that runs
~a nice house
~Able to have a good relationship with Skyler and Corbin's mom
~Skyler is such a good kid!
~Skyler gets good grades
~Corbin is such a big help around the house
~Corbin is such a good big brother
~Alyssa is just like me, she has a huge heart!
~Levi is a very special boy, heavenly father made a special place in my heart just for him
~Emma is my angel
~all of my fun gadgets
~DANNY

I know that there are so many other things that I have in my life that are good! Writing them down has opened my eyes to really look at the good and not the bad. Dwelling over all of the bad things is just going to make my life miserable. For the last few months I have been making my life a living hell by living each day trying to make me and everyone else happy, well I am not she-ra. I can't do everything, but I can realize the things that I do have and live my life with a smile on my face! Face it, I have a pretty amazing life! :)

chicken spaghetti

Here is a recipe that I've made a couple of times that we really like. It comes from the Pioneer Woman.

Ingredients:

2 c. cooked chicken

2 can cream of mushroom soup

2 c grated sharp cheddar cheese (I don't think i used sharp)

1/4 c. finely diced green pepper

1/2 c. finely diced onion

1-4 oz jar diced pimento drained

3 cups dry spaghetti, broken into 2 inch peices

2 cups reserved chicken broth from pot that you cooked chicken in

1 teaspoon Lawry's season salt

1/8 - 1/4 tsp. ceyenne pepper

Salt and Pepper to taste

1 additional cup cheddar cheese for top

Cook 1 cut up fryer and pick out enough meat to make two cups (I just cooked chicken breast or thighs). Cook spaghetti in same chicken broth until al dente. Do not overcook. When spaghetti is cooked, combine with remaining ingredients except additional cup of cheese.

Place mixture in casserole dish and top with remaining cheese. She says you store this for up to 6 months in the freezer (I don't have room in mine!) or cover and store in refrigerator for 2 days or bake immediately and 350 for 45 minutes or until bubbly. If cheese starts to get too done you can cover with tinfoil.
