Ok organization is something that I suffer from to start with, now add 3 kids and a husband to the mix and I tell you there is not a thing organized in my life. I can't begin to tell you how frustrating it is to me. I am a Type A personality. I like to be in control of things..........I know this........I admit to this..........but dang it I am at frustration level right now.
Beer bread. That is what really set me off today. I made a couple dips this afternoon and went to make some beer bread to go with them.........something different once I was thinking. I buy the beer bread in 3 packs and those packs are too big to store once you have one or two out of the box........so I am sure one day I was thinking that I would just leave the spare one down in a cupboard and hope to remember what it was. So yeah.........today get the crappy Coors Light that someone left at my house and going to make beer bread. Go to the cupboard.......get out this bag of what I hope is beer bread. Mix it up and the whole time I am thinking about is this really beer bread.............wonder what a cake mix and a beer will do together...............seriously for an hour while this SURPRISE mixture was baking I was sitting there wondering if I had the right mix. It did turn out to be the beer bread, but it is just the whole aspect that I really didn't know. Next time.......maybe writing on the bag would be a good idea huh? So yeah beer bread and dip right? Yeah dog got the dip off the table ................seriously. Here is what I am looking for in my next dog........one that doesn't bark, one that doesn't shed, does not poop on the front yard, is unable to stand on hind legs to reach anything on the cupboard................maybe something with gills and stays in a bowl on the counter is really what I need. So really I worried for an hour about this beer bread .............and didn't have anything to go with it anyway. Beat me.
Made my trip to the grocery store today and still ended up with Jackson in the vehicle. Chugged a diet coke in aisle three............ice cold......it was great. Reminded me of a late night trip to HyVee with my college roommate back in the day, but that is a story for another day. Another vent of the day..........I bought bananas last week.............green. Seriously those should change in a couple days right? Yeah no......nothing. Jeff tells me oh yeah those are the green bananas and they will change to yellow in about 3 weeks. Umm Hmm. Because I have three weeks for a flipping banana to change yellow. Of course Jeff didn't understand why I threw those bananas away...........I guess he doesn't get the fact that Kennedy has been carrying them all around the house already for a week wanting me to give her one...............I will not have bananas all over my house for another week. I bought yellow bananas today. Done deal...........woman thinking near as I can figure.
Kid Moments:
One tomato..........that is what I can see in my neighbor's garden. One tomato. It is a nice sized tomato........and I have to listen to her tell me how she doesn't get much out of her garden each year, but she does have this one tomato that she thinks will make it but she doesn't see much else in her garden. Jackson also has spotted this same tomato. I had to have a talk with him today about how we don't go into her side of the garden........we have to stay on our side. Yeah any bets here?
Delaney and Jackson started swimming lessons today. Yeah Delaney is down in the 4 foot deep water and going under, not listening and doing her own thing the whole lesson..........meanwhile Jackson is basically glued up to the two foot wall. He did warm up a little, but the kid has been dunked one too many times by her........thinking it might just take more than one day for him to trust being in the same pool with her.
Kennedy is into pinching. Great fun. I am usually her target right now. She doesn't get something she wants or I pick her up to take her away from something and immediately she grabs my necks and pinches. Not so fun..........this too shall pass, right? May have hickies on my neck here for a couple months but all is good right? Maybe that straightjacket needs to have a turtleneck on it............hide the battlewounds.
