that right there is just maddening!
my new years resolution to cook went up in smoke <literally> this afternoon.
ahhh & i'm pretty sure it would have turned out.
i thought about trying to save it - but you can see the black burnt pieces floating in it.
the flavor is kinda gone.
yes, its mildly laughable now ... but then, not so much.
and our smoke alarms do not work.
the whole house was a gray fog when i got back in.
so much for a boil then a simmer. it went from boil to burnt.
what happened, you ask?
i started the old fashioned beef stew last night & ran out of time since we ended up going out (not to dinner) so this morning i thought i'd finish it early, with a simmer all afternoon. then i remember the boil part of the directions. then i went out to help sailor. then i came in - too late.
- - -
sailor saw this picture of regan and said -
'oh that regan, she's the silliest girl i know.' and then after a pause she added - 'well except for you and molly.'
: ) runs in the family i guess.

here's my american girl girls this morning - with emmy & ruby in matchy-matchy 'jams respectfully.
and for whatever reason - i just liked this one.

and if she could speak i'm sure she would have said something about all the smoke not being good for her lungs : )

so dinner ... yeah, got nothing. scrambled eggs anyone -

later on -
i sent rex a text this morning saying i had a cold & wished he were still in bed - then i heard his phone go off in the kitchen. somehow the day is just a little longer/slower when he forgets his phone. its kind of like my lifeline out : )
amie was the one to hear about my stew - since i couldn't tell rex.
we read alot of frog & toad today. my totally plugged nose gave toad's eyore personality some character.
molly spent quite a bit of her day 'talking' to april on her toy phone today. 'a-pl ..... a-pl ......a-pl ..... ehyo a-pl ..... ' she was tickled when her auntie actually answered the phone for reals.
rex bought me tulips - i made him a peach cobbler.
sailor wore pearls to awana tonight.
my goal is to go to bed with rex tonight. some nights it seems like we are hardly sleeping together - i stay up so late, he gets up so early.
its just me & the little girls tonight. that is still a new term to me - the little girls. i like it. we've had little boys .... but the girls together is new. regan is sitting on my lap. she's watching the screen while i improve my one-handed typing skills. dootle is driving ben's bike around telling me an elaborate story. she's such a chatty thing - i love it.
the kids were outside today - yay for sunshine! barefoot - they were barefoot, too.
so if i plan it right - leaving the right amount of stuff for rex to do tonight, i think i'll make my goal : )
starting with putting molly to bed. a mental picture for you - she's wearing a diaper, shirt and a bib from dinner. we had waffles! she has sailor's purse full of polly pockets, she's sitting next to me on the piano stool saying more pockets mommy. she doesn't want to go to bed she says
she is : )
