Everything here at the Haines household is going well. Life continues to be extremely busy for Victory but he is good about taking breaks from grading to hold little girl, help out and spend a little time with me. (I just want to know who came up with the genious idea of retesting. Victory spends so much time grading retests its ridiculous! What happened to the pressure of a test and having to study for it? Now, they can just take a test and if they don't do well they can just take it again and again! And people are complaining that kids aren't ready for college? I wonder why!)
As for me, life is great!! I don't mind working and being mom. Honestly, It's probably easier than being a stay at home mom. I'm trying to find the right words to explain why its easier. Its less demanding. I still have all the housework to do but I don't have to constantly try to keep up with the little one AND try to do everything else. I do miss her though and get sadden with I think that others know her better than I do. I only get to spend four hours at most with her a day. We'll see what the future holds. (AND THANKS TO MY MOM AND BECKY FOR BEING AWESOME BABYSITTERS!!)
Anyway, now the reason that compelled me to write is because Friday night's meal is still on my mind. IT WAS AMAZING! (I know another food post...I guess I'm just hungry?) I kept mentioning to Victory how wonderful it was long, long after it had been digested. OLIVE GARDEN!! I think it just became my FAVORITE restaurant (sorry Lazlos). Ever since the Chicken Alfredo when I was three months pregnant, Olive Garden began to find favor with me. Then I fell in love with their salad. I could totally eat an ENTIRE bowl of salad there! It's addicting. My next favorite find...TUSCAN POTATOES...yum! (I stole them off of Victory's plate). Then a Friday work lunch, GRILLED CHICKEN SPIEDINI served with Tuscan potatoes! And then Friday night's meal, the meal of all meals, FOUR CHEESE STUFFED PANSOTTI with CHICKEN!! SOOOOO GOOOD!!! LOVED IT! The chicken was fabulous! I don't even want to know the fat content!!
Have a great day!!

Oh man! You're making me hungry! That's it, I'm going to make a treat.
It's funny because when I was a working mom, a treat meant going to the vending machine...now it means making something in the kitchen. I would have to say instant gratification is much better...but, a treat is a treat, right? Instant or not.
Great post!
I had to laugh because that is exactly what I ordered when I went there a couple weeks ago. I love Olive Garden!!!
Your little girl is so precious. She totally rocks a bow. Glad to hear you are managing work and parenting. It's an adjustment, that's for sure.
Nursing always made me hungry, more so even then being pregnant. Rebekah looks adorable. Can't wait to meet her.
I don't like Olive garden. yuck.
haha- addicted? I just went there last night...it's all about the mixed grill! DELICIOUS!!
Hope all is well! Miss ya
I love the Olive Garden too :) Mmmmm. i'll have to try your favorite next time! I just DIE to eat the salad and breadsticks.
ps. i love rebekah's bow. it's so pretty on her :)
Totally understand the being ok with working and having a baby. I was going crazy just staying home with Hyrum! I'm ok not working now that there are 3 of them. ;o) p.s. Olive Garden is FABULOUS!
I like this post--I was wondering how the whole balancing two things has been going....It looks like I'll have to work during Jeff's residency since the laws changed and we'll have to start paying back our enormous amount of loans on a small salary, so it's nice to hear this from someone who's doing that. She's cute: I hope one day we'll get to see her!
