I have decided what I am making... sort of. I have looked at a few of the soup recipes using the Santa Fe sauce and I'm not making any of them.
I don't know how spicy/flavorful the sauce is. I may add a can of chili beans. I'm not crazy about beans either, but a few in the soup are fine and it will add a thing to the soup -- not just flavor but a chunk. Or I may puree a can of tomatoes (with or without chilies). We had chili dogs for supper last night (hmmm, this could be redundant, that didn't occur to me til I typed that). I have part of a can of chili with no beans in the fridge I could throw in. I have red and green peppers in the freezer but if I start tossing too much in there they aren't going to eat it.
Then I'll make corn bread to go with it.
I still have 7 little bitty cans of tomato paste.
Are the peppers in the freezer the bagged kind or did you freeze them yourself? We do like the TGIF that have the frozen peppers in them but I had never thought of freezing fresh peppers.
I can't get poblano peppers locally so every now and then I will grab a couple when I am out of town if I think I might want them. If I don't use them, I just throw those in the freezer whole.
Soup is made and in the crock pot on warm. I had about 2 cups of really nice chicken broth and shredded about a pound of the chicken. Dumped in the Philly, 1 cup of Half & Half, and a bag of Kraft Mexican with a Touch of Philly shredded cheese. Oh my. It's good. It is thin so if you prefer thicker, if would need thickened.
Progresso makes a Chicken Cheese Enchilada soup and this taste very much like it. I loved that soup and they quit making it --- was what I was going to say. Then I went to search and it looks like they might be making it again. It also happens to be one of the Carb Monitor soups.
riddle me this.. what is in the 43000 family?
And Rachael (I think it was you, or Nikayla, forgot to multiquote), I started out on mycoupons, too! So funny. Maybe we were there at the same time. Another one of my favorites was pinchingyourpennies. They were mainly based in UT, but they were a good starting place for me. They had a wishing well, where they would open the well for a limited amount of time. You would send your wishlist from their coupon list, and if you were one of the lucky ones, you would get an envelope full of coupons. Pretty cool.

jello, cystal light, maxwell house coffee come to mind.
I think I read here that some of you can use expired coupons. I have BUNCHES
of T friendly coupons that expired recently. PM me if you can use them. Would love for them to see a scanner instead of a trash can.
so i couldn't find our regular crest toothpaste but had a couple of tubes of 3d from a cvs promo. so i pulled one out about 3 weeks ago. past couple of weeks my mouth has been feeling sore and achy, then last week i started noticing bright red inflamed patches on my gums. i thought did i eat something very hot and burn my mouth with it? couldn't figure it out. the red areas kept getting worse, and couple of days ago i developed a giant bulbous inflamed section near one of my molars and major inflammation upfront, and i can see burst/bleeding capillaries through the thin skin. plus my gums have been bleeding considerably.
worried, i called the doc.
she asked if i'd changed anything in my oral care routine. took me a long while to realize and then i said oh yeah, i started using a different flavor crest toothpaste. she was quiet for a moment, then she said is it crest 3d? i said yes. and she told me stop immediately saying several people have had reactions to the paste.
did a google search - sure enough, people are complaining of very similar things: red sores in the mouth, inflammation, bleeding, irritated gums.
my mouth feels so sore right now and my gums are burning.
so, if you have these in your stockpile, might want to throw em in the trash or take em back to the store if you have a rcpt.

1. You are the boss, not the child.
2. Too much talking is a bad thing.
3. Start with one rule at a time.
4. Let them know your expectations.
5. Don't put them in "jail"
1. You are the boss. Get that through your head. YOU ARE THE BOSS. The child is the child and you run the house. If you allow the child to manipulate you, you've lost control and you are no longer the boss.
2. Too much talking is a bad thing. You know, a lot of books say that if you discipline your child, and their discipline time is up, you should get down on their level and explain why they were put in time-out, what you want them to do right, and that you still love them. A. they know what they did wrong B. they know what is right and C. they know you love them. There is no need to go through that each and ever time you discipline your child.
3. Start with one rule at a time. Right now, our first rule is: Respect Others. It's simply put but covers a very broad area of things from not hitting, to sharing, to giving each other space. We have a big thick paper board thing and I bought markers to write on it. I will post pics of it once it is done. It's simply "Rules" and it will be hung in our living room by the TV so they always have access to seeing it. Seeing it makes it more real, even if they can't read it. Because we will discuss it and involve them in it by asking them what "respect others" means to them. Obviously the answers we get will vary because of age and maturity but it's a starting point.
4. Let them know your expectations. What do you expect out of your child? Start with the most important. I expect you to respect others. I expect you to be courteous and use your manners. I expect you to remain calm and go to your room if you feel overwhelmed or angry. If you make it complicated, they stop listening. I don't expect tanner to clean his room or make his bed every morning. I expect him to say "thank you" if someone helps him or gives him something. Eventually (way down the road) those expectations will go up. Remember to keep it simple.
5. Don't put them in "jail." The therapist suggested (for safety and behavioral reasons) that we should remove everything from Tanner's room that might be a danger to himself. So we took out his TV, his DVD player, all his toys, including his bed frame. All he has is his mattress on the floor, his pillow, and his blanket. He can have a stuffed animal if he choses but he doesn't want one. Reason being, when tanner is feeling aggressive and acting violent, his room is his "safe place" and his "calm place." That is where he will go to throw his fit, to calm down, and to think. A lock will be installed on the outside of the door because it's irrational to think that we can physically hold it shut when he's extremely angry. He's a very strong little boy and mix that with some adrenaline and you've got a problem. Lots of times parents want to take away cell phones, laptops, and other things for too long of a time. "You didn't clean your room like I asked you to so you lose your cell phone for 2 weeks." Is that reasonable? Not really. Take it away for 1 day and tell them you EXPECT them to clean their room to EARN that phone back. If they clean it, they get it back. Next time, keep it longer, but don't make it excessive. Most kids that have cell phones are at a functioning maturity that taking their phone away for 5 minutes is the end of the world. lol
So here's how it played out last night.
It was bedtime and we asked all of them to go to bed. River was already in bed, makena went up to her room, Ambree to her room, and Tanner to his room. When he got into his room, he realized there was nothing in there but a mattress, pillow, and blanket. He wanted his TV. So he came downstairs demanding his TV. I told him that he would have to earn the priviledge of having his TV placed back into his room. (same with his DVD player, his bed frame..etc) He was outraged. He started to scream and kick and throw a fit. Charles immediately picked him up and carried him to his room. He proceeded to scream, yell, cuss, kick the walls, throw around his pillow, and even ripped the closet bar that holds his clothes out of the wall. He used it to puncture a hole in the ajoining wall before charles was able to get it away from him. Not a word was said from us the entire time but tanner proceeded to carry on. I'm sure the neighbors heard his ranting and raving. I went upstairs and sent charles downstairs. The deal was for us: charles could carry him to his room (he's so heavy) and I would sit by the door. So I sat there and listened to him scream about his bed, scream about his tv, and carry on. Sometimes he'd calm down then he'd get all flustered again and scream. I didn't say a word. I sat there for about 45 minutes before he finally stopped crying. I waited 2 more minutes and opened the door and he was sound asleep in his bed.
It worked.
So, tonight, we will have our family "Rules" meeting where we talk about what having respect for others' means. I want their input because I want them to fully understand what we are getting at. The same rule(s) apply to my girls (even River, she's 18 months old) as they do to tanner. We will all respect each other. I have the respect not to yell, they have the respect not to hit or hurt each other. (or be destructive)..etc.
Tanner will get his TV back tonight after the meeting. He will understand that if he has another outburst, he will lose his TV. If he cannot follow our basic rule of "respect others" then he loses a priviledge. Eventually, over many weeks, he will get the idea. They all will.
So I know that was super long but I hope it helps someone. I'll update with more things as we go through the process. She actually gave me a paper that lists some things. I'll type that up tonight if I get a chance.
