Today has been great! I am so exhausted, I wish I could just turn on the TV and *poof* be watching Castle... Season 3 is coming out on DVD soon! (I ordered it back in July...) ((No tv here, so I have to wait for the dvd release - please! no more spoilers! I already know Kate gets shot...)
We had pancakes and scrambled eggs for breakfast... that's pretty amazing, since I usually just give them cereal. That clinched it, I was bit by the cookin' bug today. Maaaaybe it had something to do with the terrible smell of OO nonstick spray burning cuz my pancake pan was too hot, and I had to fill the house with other smells?? Then I got a random phone call - I totally forgot that I told a friend I'd watch 2 of her kids at 8:15 this morning!! Glad she didn't show up until 8:30am!! Haha :D Her kids were so cute and well behaved! What a joy! Only had them for a few hours, and then it was lunch and nap time. Poor Zaya had a diarrhea dipe that woke her up from her nap WAY early. A few more of those as the day progressed. I think I fed her too much orange. She loves oranges. Yikes. Eva was so sweet and such a wonderful helper to me and Zaya today, it really made my day. I also made an apple blueberry crisp, a giant pan of stuffed shells (totally forgot to add the ground turkey I browned!! I squeezed access liquid from chopped & thawed spinach, I shredded carrot, added that to ricotta, cottage cheese and 1 egg, filled the shells, and forgot to mix the meat and marinara - sooo it was vegetarian, but DELISH.) AND I made some chocolate pudding from scratch to satisfy that chocolate craving I always have. (and almost always satisfy - sheesh. I soooo let my flesh desires control me! ... wellll, all my flesh really wants is chocolate and more sleep...) I was able to bless another friend by sharing the crazy bounty I had made today - the whole time I was cooking, I was thinking, What am I doing?? Why am I making so much food? We're gonna be gone almost all weekend... but I just kept cooking. And making giant messes in the kitchen. And cleaning them. And then, standing in the clean kitchen, I'd decide to make something else. It's clean right now, and I'm about to go down there and make home-made finger paint for the girls. What's wrong with me????
I've been feeling so weird lately, I actually took a pregnancy test! (Don't worry, it was negative) I have this lingering, vague sense of nausea, and a reallllly bad attitude with my poor sweet huz. He's been so caring with me, and I just have been a pain! Grrrr! I hate it when I'm like that, but ... I am, still. And then there's all this cooking and cleaning and crafting and organizing. Maybe I'm nesting for my pregnant friends?
Well, sorry, no new pics today. Done rambling. Off to re-messify my kitchen! Yay!
