I'm really tired. Too tired to think of a title obviously. Yesterday I went to the grocery store to buy the milk that I forgot the last time I went and I got stuff for spaghetti also, thats what I always make when I'm too tired to remember to thaw something out for dinner. Then when I got home I realized I forgot spaghetti noodles. I had nothing else that I could make and Mahaley's friend was coming over (NOT boyfriend, I am sticking by my firm belief that we do not need to do the boyfriend/girlfriend thing until the kids are ohh about 24, even though Mahaley will tell you she's already had about 8 different boyfriends...but I digress) and I had to feed them something. So I cooked up the spiral, colored noodles I bought ages ago for our "make a model an animal cell project" that we haven't yet gotten around to doing because I'm TIRED people. They were supposed to be mitochondria (look it up, those are important little buggers). Dried pasta doesn't go bad does it?
Anyway dinner went fine although some little people complained about green noodles, I shut em up by covering them with grated parmesean, the noodles not the kids. Then I had to stay up until midnight to pick up Wayne from work because his truck quit. Is a new clutch expensive?
Today I took Jamie to the orthodontist to get an estimate on braces. They had great news, Jamie has a "good bite" so he will only need brace for 18 to 24 months. The cost for that, $4700.00. I was not quite as thrilled as the dentist seemed to think I should be.
I bought the kids frozen pizza and then took a nap when I got home, a long nap, apparently the good news wore me out.
I've been cleaning out the kids bedrooms and rearranging them some. I'm one of those people who cannot clean anything without making it way worse first so I've spent days up to my ankles in "kid crap". I've made a resolution to declutter our house by half. Today I finished one room and threw away four 30 gallon trashbags of things they'll never miss. Think they have too much stuff? I would give you a before picture but I'm afraid dfacs might use it against me in court. At this rate I might be done by summer.
I'm going to bed now, have I mentioned that I'm tired?
I laughed when I read your comment on Cjane and I love this post. I also have seven children. I'm awesome and tired. Just stopping by to say hi! I'm with you sister...
ReplyDeleteI'm almost 100% positive that pasta doesn't go bad.
ReplyDeleteAnd good for you for cleaning out your kids room. You deserve a nap.
