A Whole Lot of Nothing

Since Christmas Eve, we have been battling some nasty coughs. It started with me and then trickled to Madeleine. I'm hoping it skips Morgan but he woke up with a sore throat today. Womp, womp. This is the first time Madeleine has ever been sick. It's pretty much the most awful thing ever, as a parent, to see your child so sick and you can't do anything to help her. We are lucky that it wasn't the flu. But, if we both had to get sick, I'm glad it was while Morgan was on vacation. He was a HUGE life saver. I sometimes underestimate how much of a help he really is. I am very thankful for an awesome hubby!

Needless to say, we have been spraying, wiping and soaking everything in lysol, germ-x and BabyGanics cleaners. Go away germs!!!!! I don't have time for you.

So, with us being sick we have pretty much been trapped inside the house. I did manage to cook a few things which is nice considering with the holidays we ate out quite often. It was nice to eat some healthier meals right from my kitchen. I managed to make chicken soup, roasted a whole chicken and chicken tortilla soup (my favorite). I kind of use the Hungry Girl's recipe as a base but I usually add in some corn, black beans and a lot more jalapenos and spices. I also boil and shred my chicken. Here is a link for the recipe http://quick-and-easy.food.com/recipe/hgs-kickin-chicken-tortilla-soup-ww-points-2-324336
I think I made enough of this soup for 22 people.We'll be eating this again for dinner tonight.

With it being the new year and trying to eat healthier, I did manage to go for a run today on the beach. This cough killed me! I hacked up a lung when I finally stopped. I'm pretty sure the other runners were looking at me like I was out of shape. It was nice to get that in since being sick has knocked me on my @$$!! But, 2014 you will be my bitch!! Two of my best friends are getting married and mommy needs to get toned and tight.

Being sick gave me the perfect excuse to catch up on my trash TV... The Real Housewives of Atlanta!!! These ladies are everything to me, LMAO. I don't care if I'm the only one but I love them!! I'm sure my husband judges me and might possibly question my sanity when he hears me watching these shows. But, he knows better than to say anything to me :)

Well, that's all I got... A whole lot of nothing. But, at least I have these gems to share with you...
