Well, I’m sitting down to make out my weekly menu and I just can’t get motivated. I’ve had a crazy day so far starting with the fact that Emery had a checkup at 10:00 this morning and I didn’t even remember it until I opened up my calendar at around 8:30. It was a mad dash to get out the door in an hour, but we made it.
Then I thought I would take him to get his hair cut since we were over that way. In my head I planned a leisurely lunch and then getting back to school sneakers for both of them using a gift certificate I had for Stride Rite.
It didn’t go as planned. At least not the “leisurely” part. After the doctor appointment I got a frantic call from Jeremy that I needed to fax a document right away. Then his assistant called me with the same message. Then the real estate agent who was waiting for the fax called me to see when it was coming.
“I’M NOT AT HOME PEOPLE”, is what I wanted to scream into the phone. Geez…I’m always at home, but the one day I try to go out is the same day some urgent document needs to be faxed. Give me a break! The world will not stop spinning on it’s axis if that fax is received at 2:00 instead of 11:00. And if it does, well, we have bigger problems!
Yeah, I got grouchy. And getting the kids in and out for lunch and haircuts and shoes became a chore that I had to get done by a certain time so I could get back home as soon as possible. It was no fun. Not for any of us. But at least they got new shoes out of the deal.
So now here I sit trying to plan my weekly menu. I can’t shake the crankiness and even though I’ve looked through my recipe books and checked other blogs for cooking ideas, nothing sounds good. I think I may be PMSing. That might also explain the 2 Twinkies I just ate.
To wrap up the days events, the kids got new haircuts, chicken nuggets, and expensive shoes. I got stressed out, PMS, and a pimple on my right cheek that could be seen from outer space. I’m feeling rather sorry for myself. I think the only thing on this weeks menu will be a double layer Devil’s Food Cake with 2 tubs of chocolate frosting. Just perfect for my pity party. Anyone want to join me???
