What makes you think that you are so damn important.

Sorry, couldnt blog yesterday. Super busy, left house at 8 to volunteer for art class for my daughters class. They made sculptures fun times indeed. Than went to another class, after class i got an invitation from my friend for chai and chat.  Tempting...I havent  chai and chatted with her for months. However,  before i accepted the offer i had to think like a responsible mom and housewife...i thought about the many tasks that can be accomplished if i miss this chai and chat.  Like dishes, laundry, vacuuming ( man i really need to vacuum).   Shoot, I need to cook too for my family, i have this really important lecture that i need to attend in the evening and i wont have enough time to cook anything if i go for my chai and chat. Than, i quickly contemplated on what i would cook. Something easy that my husband can handle serving and tasty so my kids wont take too long too finish. Oh yes, i can make pasta with chicken. Easy peesy. All i need to do is marinate chicken with montreal steak seasoning or just salt, pepper, garlic and whatever i have in my spice cabinet, and grill or quickly saute in pan. Boil some pasta preferably bow tie or penne or that twirly one rigatoni i dont know who cares. Quickly saute mushrooms, and oh yes that asparagus i bought from the farmers market which was a result of a very long and informative discussion on facebook on how to cook asparagus. I guess i can use peas, or green beans or even spinach anything green really, just to make sure we got the greens covered.  I chop up the asparagus and saute that too, got some sundried tomatoes and artichoke hearts in the fridge, toss those in with the asparagus than toss in the cooked mushrooms and some good old jar of alfredo sauce ( I like classico brand and thats all ill use). Wait do i even have a jar? I guess i can make  the sauce. Its easy really:
1/4 cup butter

1 cup heavy cream

1 clove garlic, crushed

1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

melt butter on medium, add in the cream simmer for  5 minutes toss in the rest of the ingredients and that's it really.

But i am totally hoping i have a jar. I hate chopping parsley!

So when the sauce is simmering I  add in the chicken bring to a nice boil simmer for like 10 minutes and let the flavors combine. I can do all that while the pasta boils. After, pasta cooks, add in some olive oil to prevent it from sticking. I can just ask shak (my husband) to simply add in the sauce before serving. (If I add it in too early than the ever moisture sucking pasta will suck the sauce dry and they ll be stuck with cheesy non saucy pasta with asparagus, mushrooms and sundried tomatoes. No biggie i can so do that, I can even do that after the kids come home from school, it will be done in less than 30 minutes. Now back to my friends offer..So, i snapped out of my contemplation and i saw my friends face waiting for an answer.  I thought to myself..."screw it all" I'm going for chai and chat. All those things will be there for me tomorrow but spending time with my friend is priceless, its so not cliche. Me needs some my time too you know i am important. Besides i came home beaming with positive happy vibes, than after school one of my kids had  to go to her friends house for a very important school project, than the friends mom offered her to stay for dinner, the other offspring  came along with me to the lecture at the university i was going to in the evening.  My  husband  calls and says dont cook just for two people, he will take my son out for dinner. Good positive energy emits good outcomes.

I need to learn to be a bit more selfish, giving myself importance is a new thing for me. I have been completely exhausting myself of all my resources.  I need to revitalize so i dont end up hating what i am doing. I need to step back fuel up than get back into the race. I mean in this day age we are all like those race cars in a nascar race.  If we dont make a quick pit stop to fuel up and tune up. We will most likely BURN UP.

I firmly believe in the power of good intentions, if you make good sincere intentions with pure thoughts, God will absolutely definitely will help you accomplish it.  So far so good, i pray my intentions dont go astray and my sincerity stays firm to its purity.
