Doctor's report on Cooper: no pink eye! Which is a sigh of relief. Apparently it's just his clogged ducts flaring up again... more than usual. She prescribed him some eye drops. 

This morning I woke up at 7:50am and Philip still wasn't home. I texted him to ask where he was (I was half asleep) and he walked in the door. So, Cooper and I just conked out again. He came in the bedroom and Cooper started waking up and being fussy. Philip knew we had a hard evening/night last night. So he took Cooper and fed him and played with him in the living room until I woke up at 9:30! When I walked in the living room Philip said, "Why are you awake? Go lay back down." Wow. But, I didn't. I stayed up so he could go get some rest. (FYI, He works 6p-6a so he hadn't slept in over 24 hours when he did this) It was a great and refreshing way to start the day. :-)

Tonight was the first night of "Photo Basics 2." I came in late (effing 5:00 traffic on I-35) so I was really lost when I walked in and *everyone* else seemed to be getting it perfectly. Great. What an awful way to start the new class...... then we went out to get some "hands on" time. Which was great! We didn't have this time in the first class, it was all "lecture" (<--- I use that word loosely) so it was nice to go shoot outside and have our instructors there to help. I learned a lot tonight and can't wait to have a photo shoot with someone this week :)
Next new recipe is a crock pot one...

Chicken and Stuffing (7 PTS)

6 whole boneless skinless chicken breasts

1 box stove top stuffing mix

1 can 98% fat-free cream of mushroom soup -- or any cream soup

1/2 cup water or chicken bouillon

Spray a 3 1/2 quart crockpot with cooking spray. Add chicken breasts. Combine stuffing, soup, and liquid. Spread over chicken. Cook on low 6 - 8 hours.


** It was also, just ok. It was really REALLY easy to throw together, but it didn't have a ton of flavor. I probably won't make it again unless I'm desperate for food and happen to have the ingredients laying around.


I think Cooper has pink eye :( I'm going to call the doctor tomorrow. Around his eye is all red and oozy, and his actual eye has a red tint to it. He was a mess tonight. I don't think he feels well.


Tomorrow night is my first "Photo Basics 2" class!
