There's only 4 cupcakes-I'll give one each to the girls (Nevena's gone for the night) and one each to my neighbor's kids
That solves that problem! Phew!
Robin, you enable with the dvds, we'll enable with the chocolate
Kate, I signed my girls up for the summer reading program at our library and a six week series of creative arts classes-sculpture, painting, writing, theatre, dance, textiles. All free Another library near us has free movie Mondays. And I also found a picnic in the park series with music, clowns, inflatables, etc. My cousin gave me a link to the Museum Adventure Pass-get either 2 or 4 free admissions to area museums, etc. I'll be watching the neighbor boys M/W/F from 8:30-5:30 so I'm trying to figure out what to do that's cheap and easily done by one adult with 5 kids! I'm thinking about signing the girls up for something on those days just to catch a break!
Off to do some cardio!

Oh my talk of cupcakes and brownies!!
Katie - The house looks awesome. I would love to go on a trip also, but I'm homebound this summer.
Kate - Yay for you and Mike keeping each other in check. That's always nice.
Morris - I felt the same this morning...so hard to get up.
Angie - Feel better!
Anne - Awesome tapping!
Robin - Sorry about the fd. My sister used to do that to me...grr...ask for money because she needs to buy groceries then she buys stuff online. It's like wth???? I'm working from home today so should be a little more relaxing I hope.
Colleen - I love B&G.
Klaudia - I'm sending my kids off to summer fun. I'll have a few hours of peace from it! Good idea with the cupcakes. Get rid of temptation!
I got to run again in the am today!!! I love that DH doesn't start work 'til a little later. Anyway, I'm in the range of 10min miles for at least 3 miles. We'll see if I can keep that pace up at 4-6 miles. I haven't had much time since DH has to leave for work, but one day I will get up earlier and run earlier so I can at least clock in 4 miles which should take me about 40min. I have to also factor in the walk time to the park and walk back home which adds on to my total wo time. We'll see if I can peel myself out of bed at 6am. Yikes, I'm not a morning person. Bfast was toast w/pb, boiled egg, and yogurt. Eats have been good, but I'm overeating. I'm feeling work stress and I need to stop emotional eating. Anyway, better get back to work.

Cardio done! 45 minute speed/incline walk, 2.9 miles, approximately 475 calories. Gotta shower and take Danica for her allergy shot.
Kate, that's cause you're an awesome mom who plays, bakes, and does stuff with them! I wouldn't want to do anything either!
Robin or anyone else, how do you make your pork tenderloin?

Herbed Roast Pork Tenderloin
Serves 4 to 6
Pork tenderloins can vary greatly in weight; try to find 2 large roasts for this recipe. We prefer to remove the tough silver skin with a paring knife before butterflying. Save leftover meat for Hoppel Poppel.
3 tablespoons unsalted butter , softened
2 tablespoons coarse-grain mustard
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 garlic clove , minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh sage
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme
Salt and pepper
1 teaspoon sugar
2 pork tenderloins (about 3 pounds total)
1 teaspoon olive oil
1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 450 degrees. Using fork, beat butter, mustard, lemon zest and juice, garlic, herbs, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in bowl until combined. Reserve 3 tablespoons butter mixture. Combine sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in small bowl.
2. Pat tenderloins dry with paper towels and, following photos 1 to 4 at left, butterfly tenderloins, spread interior evenly with herb-butter mixture, interlock tenderloins, and tie securely with kitchen twine at 1 1/2-inch intervals. Rub pork with oil and sprinkle sugar mixture evenly over exterior.
3. Roast meat on rimmed baking sheet until exterior is golden brown and meat registers 140 degrees, about 35 minutes, flipping pork halfway through cooking. Transfer to cutting board and brush top of pork with reserved herb-butter mixture. Tent with foil and let rest 10 minutes. Remove kitchen twine. Slice and serve.

So not a rockstar! Cause instead of the cupcakes, I ended up eating my weight in Taco Bell! The pork wasn't gonna be ready in time and I'm pmsing in a BIG way. Like I want a Brownie Batter Blizzard!! Think I need to go for another walk!
Milla learned how to ride a two-wheeler! Danica is the one who taught her Now I can chase them on my run/walks
Kate, thanks for the recipes-I think I'm going to make the spicy or herbed one-gotta check the pantry!
Morris, you jinxed me! Way to go on the eats!

KLaudia, Sorry about the Taco Bell!! Mercifully, I find that place completely disgusting! Not one thing there I like!
We are SSSOOOO behind on teaching the girls the 2-wheeler thing! The biggest problem is we have no good even place for them to practice. Our driveway has the sllghtest incline that makes it hard, and we live on a country road where the minimum speed seems to be 60! Not good!
Katie, WTG on no cookies! Schwanie, as we call him, comes here Thursday. We usuallyhide from him! The girls think its so fun! But I just dont need him every 2 weeks and I feel horrible turning him away! Thank goodness for the garage to park in!
