I am trying very hard not to lose my shit. I go through all the trouble of planning out meals, putting together a shopping list etc. I made pizza on Sunday instead of our Saturday night, make-together fun meal because Jon had to work. I made soup last night because we had pizza when I was supposed to make soup and Jon forgot to put out the Italian sausage to thaw. Guess who forgot again today, which means I make the pasta tomorrow instead of having a frozen dinner to celebrate the middle of the week and maybe go have a drink? So now I'll do the drink tonight with frozen dinner or leftover pizza, cook tomorrow and Thursday (Thursday was supposed to be his day to make whatever).

Please remind me these are just wrinkles.

Oh, and yeah agreed that's crazy, unless your kid had allergies, but then wouldn't you be super vigilant anyway?

Please remind me these are just wrinkles.

They are not wrinkles, they are wisdom lines.

It's just...the reason I set everything up the way I did was because I knew I'd be tired of cooking by tomorrow. Not tired of it yet, and now I'm afraid of losing the momentum.

I know it's kind of a tough it up and deal kind of problem, but this is how I was tricking myself into cooking a bunch.

How on EARTH is that nesting??? I nearly fell to my death trying to buy an imaginary sofa! And we have a perfectly nice sofa!

Apparently, your nesting involves building an actual nest.

If you are female and HAVE EVERY HAD A PENIS IN YOU you should be in Just In Case mode at all times.

Well. Only if you did it, you know, the-- what's that word I'm looking for? The other way.

So they are trying to combat childhood obesity by making bake sale good no longer desirable? I guess that works. And next I suppose you'll no longer be able to have a Sees Candy fundraiser, you can only sell Whitman Samplers.

The goal is to combat childhood obesity.

That's insanity. How many homemade baked goods contain HFCS as their second ingredient?

I do know many classrooms have banned homemade goods from snacktime because of allergy concerns, but at a bake sale? Isn't baking kind of the point?

Getting started is hard, Daisy, don't let a speedbump derail you. To mix metaphors atrociously.

The PTA at each school is allowed to have one actual bake sale per month, but anybody else (like student clubs) wanting to have a bake sale can only use the prepackaged stuff or fresh fruit. This is actually in reaction to protests over the previous set of rules, which said one PTA bake sale per month and nothing else, ever.

When I was in high school, there was some group or other having a bake sale at least once a week, usually a student club that didn't get enough school funding to be able to go to a competition or something.

Lovely. School shooting in the next county over. Two injured and shooter has been captured. CJ and I are watching the news and he recognized the streets on the map of where it happened. Accccckkkkkk.

Bake what you want, just leave your guns at home.
