My Hissy Fit

I have really been in a mood lately. I feel like "the help" in my own home. The kids have had horrible, rotten attitudes since their last "visit" with the egg donor. My husband has been distant since right after we came home from Texas.

Yesterday I was out working in the yard in my pajamas as David left with the kids for an appointment for Kenny. Neither of the kids said goodbye to me and I just really got torked.

So, what did I do? I got online, found a day spa and treated myself to the most amazing facial ever. Then, I came home and made my Daddy's favorite meal, something he taught me how to make. Kraut Bierok. I told my family that there were Speghetti O's or PBJs if they didn't like what I was making, and I really didn't care if they ate or not. I was in THAT sort of place. I was treating myself and I was done serving everyone what THEY wanted and doing for everyone but myself.

And you know what? They all loved it! The kids even asked for it to be in their lunches! I doubt they would have eaten it if they knew what it was.....but I am not telling!

What is Kraut Bierok you ask? It is hamburger, cabbage and onion inside bread pockets. Sort of like a hot pocket, but I of course made my own dough. The cabbage and onion get chopped up really fine and cooked in the hamburger and then it gets wrapped up in dough and baked. My Daddy used to make it like a big loaf. Some people call them Runzas. There is actually a small fast food chain in the midwest called Runza that serves these and other variations of them. I always have to have them when we go back to Nebraska.

So, my hissy fit day turned out fabulous. My skin feels amazing and my family actually ate my favorite meal!
