Attempting to be a Super Mom

The other night, I made a pork chops and they were super easy and yummy. I thought I would share the recipe because it was so good. I use the really thin, boneless pork chops. 1/4 c. soy sauce 1/2 c. brown sugar 1/3 c. vinegar 2 tbsp. flour 1/2 c. water 5-6 pork chops Preheat oven to 350. Combine soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, flour and water in a bowl. Arrange 5-6 pork chops in a casserole dish without layering. Pour over sauce. Cover with foil or the dish lid. Cook for 1 hour. Serves 4-6. I paired this with some steamed asparagus and green beans that I seasoned with some garlic powder, beau monde , pepper, and a little soy sauce. I know this dinner is full of sodium, but it was really easy and delicious and I'm sure there are alterations that can be made to make it a little more healthy.

I don't know if it's because I've been sick or the pregnancy, but today my hormones are in full swing. Once I start crying, I can't stop and it's always over silly or little things. Ben's birthday is tomorrow. I don't know that I'm ready for my little boy to be 2 already. I remember his birth like it was yesterday. It makes me really sad. Ben and I have had the flu for the last week or so. It's been a nightmare and the worst part is, while I have to pull myself together and go to work tonight, I still don't feel well at all. I just want to stay home with my boys and sleep.

I'm having a rough time staying motivated to go to work. I don't feel happy with that aspect of my life. I'm so stressed and I don't get to see my husband. I know this is a decision I've made, so that I could keep Ben out of day care, and I don't regret that part, I just feel like I'm missing out on quality family time and hurting myself with stress and pent up anger towards work. I don't know what to do. We can't afford for me to quit but I just don't know that it's healthy for me, or the baby, to keep up like I have been. I wish there was a way for me to work at home.
