I hate mornings.....

This is me. One million percent. I'd stay up till 2 am and sleep in till noon. Every. Single. Day. If....I didn't have the littles to be responsible for. So, in reality, I stay up entirely too late every night and drag my ass out of bed before the bus comes, in a pissy mood. I don't like mornings, and I'm pretty sure they don't like me.

For some really weird reason, I get super motivated to do stuff when my husband has to travel. Like all these ideas suddenly flood into my crazy head, and I start frequenting Hobby Lobby and Lowe's. A lot. Don't get me wrong, we get a shit ton of cool stuff done when he's home. But, when he's here, I'd rather just hang out with him and stare at his hotness. I'm really not even joking a little bit. So, today, the motivation began with this....

 I had the genius idea of making breakfast food and freezing it. Yeah, someone else has had this idea before, duh. But, there's something else important about me. I'm cheap. Yeah, NOT like that. Jeeze. Anyhow, here's my little plan of how to make 12 breakfast sandwiches for about $8. In the freezer, ready to go, 45 seconds in the microwave goodness that will make me about 5% less cranky about making the littles breakfast in the morning.

One more disclosure. I'm a photographer, but my phone on my Android is, well, easier for this kind of thing. And a hell of a lot cheaper if I bust it. So, no hating on my "tutorial" snaps. 



INGREDIENTS
1 dozen eggs {$1.79}
2 packages sausage patties {$5.38}
2 packages english muffins {$2.50}
Cheese slices {$dunno. already had em}



The wine in the background is optional, yet necessary if you have children.

Crack the eggs into a muffin tin (lightly sprayed with cooking spray). Um awesome!!

Scramble the eggs up some. They look cool, anyways.

Pop them in the oven on 375ish for 15ish minutes.

Separate and toast the english muffins a little bit.

Cook the sausage on your stovetop. Uh, I don't really know the right way to do this. Like 10 minutes or so and your kids will probably be free from food poisoning...



Add the cheese on one half of the english muffins...like 1/2 a slice per. 

Add the sausage and eggs and then smash the whole thing together. Maybe smashing is optional. But I have pent up aggression some days. This helped.



Wrap em up in foil, throw them in big zip lock bags, label them. Yes. Mine are labeled with instructions/threats. If it's going to happen, it'll happen in this house. Trust me....





Yup, that's Skittles Vodka in our freezer. Cause we're raging alcoholics. I think one shot has been used from this bottle. And I loathe green and yellow Skittles anyhow....



So there you have it. 20 minutes today. 5% less bitch tomorrow morning. Worthwhile if you ask me.

Hello, world....

Well, here I am. Blogging. I always say, "Oh crap, I really need to start a blog, because THIS is freaking awesome...." And. I never do.....

But now I'm gonna. And it's going to go something like this....No one will know it exists (I loathe self promoting, I have to pull my own teeth to make myself do it for my business. It blows.). I'll forget to post. I'll get bored with it. And all of my awesomeness will sit in internet space alone.

Orrrr not. We'll have a reality show by 2013. Right......

Anyhow. A little about me, even though, if you're reading this, odds are you already know me. Or you're stalking me. Freaks.

I'm Khris. I'm thirty something. On the way low side, people. I'm married to an amazingly awesome, hot, and hilarious man who is my best friend. The only person I've ever met who swears as much as me and can battle me for title of most sarcastic asshole ever. And we are perfect. We have 4 super little humans of our own. 2 girls and 2 boys. And we have a dog, who at the moment, annoys the crap out of me. Oh, did I mention I'm brutally honest? Insensitive, no, I give a shit about other people's feelings. But words fly out of my mouth without me stopping them. Hey, I'm real. And that is awesome if you ask me.

Hmmm...what else. I'm a photographer. I'm new-ish. I am so freaking lucky to be able to do this and stay home with the littles. I've always loved design and art, I majored in graphic design in college for a few years before I went the business route, but hey, it all works.

I'm obsessed with decorating our house....and our house staying clean. Yeah, I know, get real, you have 4 kids. I. Don't. Care. Dirty houses are just yuck. I'm not wasting my kids childhoods cleaning....because they're the ones doing it. I kid. But yeah, they're required to pick up their shit. Or they go to bed early. And somehow, that punishment still pisses them off royally. It works.

So there I am, mostly, in my entirety. I love lots of things, and lots of things piss me off. But, I won't list them. I'm sure the gist of that will accumulate throughout this blog.

One last thing. I'm going to apologize in advance to my mother and mother in law for the profanity. They didn't raise us like that, really. We're just rebellious. So, I'm sorry if my swearing embarrasses you guys. See?? Told ya I wasn't insensitive....
