Mud

Have you ever felt like your feet were stuck in mud? Metaphorically speaking obviously.

You are in limbo. You don’t know whether you are coming or going.

You are just sitting and waiting. Waiting and waiting.

My life has been on hold for 5 years. No actually since my divorce in 2006. Maybe even before that but I have such a bad memory I can’t remeber beyond 1993.

I felt like I was living in a pinball machine and I was the ball getting knocked from side to side just waiting to fall through the hole and be done with the game.

It’s been a rough ride down. It hurt going from one side to the other side and being smash by the metal prongs.

I just wanted to fall through the hole and lay my head down and rest.

I am almost to the bottom but my body is sore. My brain is over being jolted. There are too many thoughts being thrown around. I’m over it.

I’m tired.

But, it’s almost over.

You have to believe and never give up.

Invest in You

Invest in yourself. Hold yourself accountable to yourself. You are responsible for your health, mentally and physically. You are responsible for your peace of mind.

Be mindful, be courteous, be strong, and protect your heart, mind, and body.

Invest in what you have left and take care of you.

Let Me Do My Job

I’m taking a huge risk and it’s sad. I am taking a risk for saying how I really feel.

Today’s society is nothing like the one in which I grew up in. I had morals. I had respect. I lived by rules. Because of this, I am and became the person who I am today.

Things are different today. We, the older generation have to be afraid of what we say and do. The older generation is a lost and forgotten generation. I am talking about the ones who were born in the 60’s and 70’s and younger. Some of us are afraid, like me, who is in fear of losing my job. The job that’s keeping me afloat in this messed up world that we live in today. But should I really be living in fear? What am I at risk of losing? What am I going to gain if I say and do what I feel is in my heart?

The loss of my voice is debilitating. I cannot do the job that my heart yearns for me to do. My job is to make others better. To make others worthy and stronger and self-sufficient. All that is being stripped away from me.

I am a teacher. Let me teach. Let me do the best job I can and have faith in me that I will give others a chance to be successful in life. But how am I supposed to do that if you take away everything I believe in that I need to pass on to generations to come?

It’s a sad society that we live in today. It’s sad that we have to be afraid to discipline, give guidance, and instill morals to those who need it the most.

Green Chili Chicken Enchiladas

So here is another quick and easy recipe for you to try. I love Mexican food. It’s so hearty and cheesy, love it! I always say add your seasonings little by little and taste test. There are a set of basic ingredients that you can build off of so don’t be afraid to try and make your own creation. Trust me I have screwed up plenty of times until I mastered exactly the way I wanted it.

Filling

  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great also)
  • 1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies
  • 1 – 8 oz can of green enchilada sauce
  • 1 can of condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup of sour cream
  • 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
  • Seasonings

For the Green Chili Sauce:

  • 1 – 8 oz can of green enchilada sauce
  • 1 – 4 oz can of diced green chilis
  • 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 tsp of seasoning such as cumin, taco seasoning etc., I use Cilantro and Lime Seasoning that I got from the Dollar Tree and it is absolutely amazing. Shown in picture

8 – 10 either corn tortillas or regular flour tortillas

Okay so let’s do the obvious now. Spray the bottom of your 9 x 13 or 8. x 8 baking pan. Stuff your tortillas with one or two scoops of the filling. It depends on the size of the tortilla. Repeat and fill your pan. Cover with the enchilada sauce and generously sprinkle your shredded cheddar cheese on-top.

Bake at 375 degrees for approximately 15 – 20 minutes. After they’re melted and bubbly I usually turn on the broiler for 5 minutes to give it that crispy cheesy topping.

I hope you enjoy these!
