Something happened to me the other day that used to happen to me all the time and drives me up a wall: I got stuck in the kitchen after lunch and didn't leave it until 8pm. Does this ever happen to you? You are cleaning up lunch and then maybe you empty the dishwasher and then as you are finishing that up, someone makes a snack and then you bake something and then all the sudden it is food prep time and then actual meal time and then clean up and then you prep for the next day (a lunch for someone going to a dance camp for example) and make coffee and set the coffee pot(s) to brew and then it's time for someone's bedtime snack and OH MY GOD.
Ben, all footloose and fancy free taking one million meetings and then puttering around walking the dog a couple of times and folding some laundry after work hours was like why are you so crabby and I snapped I HAVE BEEN STUCK IN THE KITCHEN FOR 6 AND A HALF HOURS, but I actually think it was longer
Never wear an apron with long strings when you have a puppy.
The dance pics are adorable. The Jack news stinks ALL around, omg, I hope he is doing okay on the abx. And YES. I have sympathetic crabbiness from your kitchen description. Sometimes it is endless.
ReplyDeleteI am only just now that my kid is TWELVE allowing her to cook unsupervised in the kitchen. (I mean, I know Minnie was supervised.) I know it's good for her in many ways, and yet THE MESS. THE MESS IS NOT WORTH IT.
Oh god poor Jack! That sounds absolutely terrible. And yes! I have gotten "stuck in the kitchen" but it's been a while, and these days, if I do get stuck, it's my own fault!
ReplyDeleteI am stuck in the kitchen all the time. It starts with me making something for the dog (chicken, eggs, sweet potatoes, whatever) and then realizing that while the oven is on I can make cookies or granola or whatever. And then I have to make dinner. And then I have to prep lunches for the next few days. And then I have been in the kitchen all of a Sunday.
