Friday Musings

Happy Friday! Friday really has never meant anything to me since I generally work on Friday's. It's on of the busiest days of the week in my business.

Today I'm off to find a new job. It's really slowed down where I work and I need to find something that doesn't have an "off-season." So wish me luck.

I've also decided to quit daycare. It was a hard decision, but one that needed to be made. Since school is getting tougher and tougher, I'm needing to have more time to study. I've been getting way too stressed with watching the kids and trying to get anything done. I put an end to it and it's finishing up at the end of the month! Woo-hoo! Now I need to find that job that will make up for the money I'm losing out on.

That's my day in a nutshell. I need to read more for school and write a few papers.

Have a great day!!

Thirsty Thursday

So I'm currently a bartender by trade. I consider that my part time job. My full time job(s) being a mom, wife and student.

My plan is to introduce people who would not normally be able to figure out something new to serve at a party, new drink recipes. All of the recipes will be able to convert to however you have use for it, i.e. shot or drink.

Today's selection is one I learned last night, a Florida Apple.


Florida Apple (a take on a Washington Apple)

1 1/4 oz orange vodka
3/4 oz Apple Pucker, or other apple schnapps
3 oz cranberry juice

For shot:
Pour ingredients in shaker tin with ice, shake to mix. Strain to glass.

For drink:
Pour first 2 ingredients in high ball ( 4-6 oz glass) over ice. Fill to top with cranberry juice.

This could be made in big batches for parties. Just remember the ratio of 2:1 vodka:apple schnapps and 2:3 ration of booze:juice.

Calgon Thursday

It's Thursday. I hate Thursday's. I run a small daycare in my house, mostly made up of kids of friends of mine. Lately, I've felt stressed about this and need a change. I can't take care of these children, study, take care of my children and house at the same time. I'm just not sure how to tell them this. It's not easy to do.

I need more time. Any suggestions?
