even better news makes good news bad news

SO remember that chinese food? well... THAT was good news. The better news? we are expecting!! the good news becoming bad news? it made me so very sick for a good 24 hours afterwards. yikes. oh well. i suffered through it, cried plenty at work yesterday... yes... a little uncontrollably, and then came home to cry to brad about how i have two jobs and am failing at both. I could barely get the words out to him telling him the apartment is a mess, the laundry isnt done, i never make dinner, im unhappy all the time (not really true but seemed true at the moment!) And how my other job to make money... im awful at. (that one really is prolly true but im trying.) Anyway, it was a bad day. today in comparison was glorious, my kids were awesome, we finally made turkeys to go on the bulletin board and i didnt throw up and only suffered minor nausea!

my favorite thing i crave all the time: rice krispies with bananas and a little sugar. mm.

i need to start exercising more though. Ive been losing a little weight from being sick but im also getting flabby. i dont wanna be a flabby young mom, i wanna be a hot mama! haha... okay or really just not flabby. okay done my hormonal ramblings.

YING YANG, CHING CHANG

Good news!! There is an AMAZING chinese place in Rexburg! Okay, I know Im a fat kid for getting so excited about this, and (okay intermission, Brad just folding both loads of laundry in the guest room and I didnt even notice! what a stinker.) ANYWAY... the food is AMAZING. Its completely authentic too. Our wontons were works of art and the pastry is made there, and the meat in them is ground there the day of! crazy! its a chinese family that owns it. Its also very pretty inside with a long mural, perfect lighting and waitresses that are in traditional chinese attire. AND

drumroll

best part: PRICE. it was only 8 dollars per plate. And by plate i mean skillet with meat and vegetables. And all of the sides (except the chow mien ones) come with a bucket of fried rice ALL YOU CAN EAT and the rice was delicious. mm. We also got the wonton appetizer for only 2.50! what a deal. Our service was incredible too. we liked it so much brad stuck a magnet to our car.

We are planning to take Mandy when she comes. :)
