Hi All!
Wow, I am realizing I really need to make the time to journal. I feel so out of touch! Been very busy working 2 jobs - JCPenneys and as a home health aide for the hospital. I had a home visit yesterday from 8-11am, then worked at Penneys from 12:30 - 6:30. Plus Saturday I worked 7:30a - 4:p. Not huge hours, but when you have psoriatic ra and lupus, it wears on your body!
I have a question for you all, and would LOVE your feedback. My oldest son Cody is graduating from high school May 23. We are planning on having an open house here on June 21. I need ideas from anyone who has ever had an open house. The menu is what I am stuck on........ I want something simple, but good (sounds impossible to me!) I don't have any family that will help, so it will be the boys and Bruce and I, and I really want to enjoy the day, not be running all over, ya know? I have a couple friends who are going to help, which I totally appreciate, but I just don't want to over-do it - been to lots of those and it is so much work and the parents don't get to enjoy themselves. We are going to get a root beer keg (no alcohol) and a bouncy house - my friend was at an open house last year and said that kept the little kids and the big kids busy and having a blast. Yep, even the high school kids! Other than that, I am stuck. Oh, obviously I will have tons of pics ;) Want to think of something unique for the centerpieces, too.............. like I have the time to do this, but I am going to do it and I want it special for Cody!
Hope you all are doing well........... it is so nice to finally see some sun and feel a little tiny ray of warmth! On my way to work....... Laura

Fried chicken brought in with salads are always good. Also italian beef. You can either buy it and prepare yourself in a slow cooker ( that way it will stay hot) cut up small pieces of french bread. Also a fruit and a cheesetray. There is a place called incrediable edibles that makes fresh fruit arrangements look like flowers. Visit there website, really great fruit and so pretty. Of course a big sheet cake it is easy to cut and feeds alot of people. Personally I went with the fried chicken at an open house with salds and rolls. I ordered mine from Brown's but you could do the same at KFC. For italian beef if you ahve a smas club you can buy vienna frozen. Get a few boxes and toss in slow cooker. Easy and always good. Taffy apple salad is also a hit. Hope something in my suggestion sounds good. ((hugs))marcia

I would suggest either sloppy joes, or hot beef. salads, veggies and dip.
