A Ruined Dinner...

Remember how yesterday I said I should've put the roast in a smaller crock pot? Well, I really should have. Really. I BURNT IT! In the crock pot! Maybe if it had been in the smaller pot, the liquid would have been deeper. Or maybe I should have added some water to it. Or maybe I should have taken it out earlier. *sigh* I guess that's what happens when I try to cook on no sleep. H ate some of it anyway. Yuck. Not me. Chick-Fil-A got my business last night.

Today the plan is cream of wild rice soup. Wish me luck with that one. It's not in the crock pot, so maybe I'll be okay.

I Need Some Motivation...

I am so tired, so if this makes no sense whatsoever, just ignore me. I worked last night, but not the night before, so it's been a while since I've had any good sleep. I did just get an hour and a half of semi-sleep while I let M run around the bedroom. Now she's enjoying her lunch of chicken and lima beans (her favorite).

I've done a load of dishes in the dishwasher and a load of laundry (just have to fold them now) today. And I have a barbecue roast in the crock pot for dinner. (I think I should have put it in the smaller pot.) I've also showered. I'd say I'm doin' pretty good for noon! I planned on doing some major cleaning today, but so far I'm not motivated. Maybe some Christmas music will help.

I've got to finish up my Christmas shopping. I'll probably do that tomorrow.

I just remembered that we have to go to my sister-in-law's pinning for nursing school. Oh, I remember mine like it was just yesterday. I'm so proud of her for finishing. I mean, yeah, I finished no problem, but I also didn't have 2 kids and a husband who's gone for a week at a time. I don't think I could have done it in her situation. Congratulations, Adriana!

Ok, off to get motivated. This house isn't going to clean itself. Oh boy, wouldn't that be nice if it did?
