Resolutions...Not Going So Well

It has been a crazy month. Between health issues, school starting, insane weather, and hubby neck-deep in an intense project we have not been making the life changes we were hoping for.

Our diet has been all over the charts. There have been more veggies and good meats, but also more sugar...sigh. I've also been trying new recipes and have NOT had good results (stringy ribs, tough roast beef, mushy veggies). My goal was to try a new recipe every week but I am getting very discouraged with the poor results.

The cool thing is we got a smoker! The butcher we get our meat from is supposed to be getting pork bellies next week and I can not wait to make bacon! I'm drooling just at the thought. Winter salmon and steelhead season should start soon and I'm looking forward to smoking my first fishy (maybe smoking will make them edible!)

Hubby is off next week and the week after on business trips so its just me and kiddo. That always makes it easier as Mr. Finicky won't eat certain things kiddo and I love. And, strangely, the house stays cleaner! We miss him a lot when he's gone though.

School is hell. I'm taking four classes and the workload is intense. I set up my mid-term and final proctoring today and suddenly feel under intense pressure. There is just not enough time! AHHHHHH!!

And to top it off our street flooded the last couple days:
