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???

I totally want to join you. Double Layer Devils Food Cake, are you kidding me? I’d fly to your parts for that!
I hope you shake your crankiness.
Now I want a twinkie.
If I were there, I’d give you a big hug!! Can you feel it from cyberspace. Love You Linda
I totally hear you! Can I get some of that cake too? I might need it after this week is finished! Good luck on the crankyness…but hey, at least you can blame the twinkies on the fax!
I sure would have joined you last week for sure! ;) Sorry your day has been rough. If it makes you feel any better, I haven’t planned my menu yet this week either. I am working on it right now though! Hope the rest of your day goes better–and I say go for the cake. Cures everything–well almost!
Sign me up!!! Totally with you on the PMSing… Hope things get better!!!! Love ya
I feel ya’! I was cranky today too, and I’m definitely not PMSing. I’m not sure what got into my kids, but all I did was discipline today. I’m hoping my chocolate chip cookies tonight will relax me! Hope tomorrow is better for you (and me)!
I don’t have PMS anymore, but can I come for Double Layer Devil’s Food Cake anyways?
Jodi- you crack me up. That is the kind of day I’ve been having for weeks. That would explain my near complete absence from the blog world.
Good to read yours again!
I think we all need SCHOOL TO START! Even though I sure did enjoy my summer and I’m going to
miss the late mornings and lazy schedule! We just have to shake days like that off and
move on! At least you are honest!
I hear you girl! Cake sounds wonderful for breakfast, lunch and dinner!!
I haven’t been motivated to make a meal plan this entire summer! I’m hoping once we get back home (for good–I’m there now) I’ll get back on track.
Save some chocolate cake & frosting for me–that sounds heavenly.
Sorry about the pimple. :P
The reward for a day like this is definitely the chocolate. Because chocolate at the end of days like these means 0 calories and that makes it
all worth it!!!!! Hope you are doing better!
