After last week’s 24/7 Non Stop Food-a-Thon, I should probably have planned to have some variation on Lettuce every night for dinner this week. I don’t think that would go over well with any of us, though — myself included — so we have a rather normal-for-us plan this week. Some might even call it Falling Back Into Our Regular Rut, but we’re going to be OK with that for now.

We might not have any pie (or mashed potatoes or persimmon pudding) this week, but my mom is visiting for a few days. Which means all of our laundry is clean and folded. Miracles do happen!

Monday: Baked ravioli: This was one of Poppy’s favorite meals right up until she saw it on this week’s calendar. And then she was all like “ugghhewwwww,” and I was all like “Whaaaa!?!” and she was all like “ugh.” I’m hoping she doesn’t do that again when I put her plate in front of her this evening
Tuesday: McAlisters: Three cheers for free kids meals!
Wednesday: Sandwiches: It’s Poppy’s week for kids’ choice night. This’ll most likely be some variation on the grilled cheese.
Thursday: Fish sticks & mac ‘n’ cheese: A far cry from last Thursday’s meal.
Friday: Pizza: We made our own pizza last Friday, and it was great. I think we may be getting back into the DIY pizza groove.

Petty grievances

11/25/2012 Nichole 7 Comments

Jana at Jana’s Thinking Place has been hosting Stream of Consciousness Sundays for awhile now, and this is the first time I’ve joined in. The (totally optional) prompt today is “I’m annoyed by…” so I’m going to take the next 5 minutes to tell you about things that annoy me.

And: go!

My eyelid has been twitching for days and days and days, and it is very annoying. Maybe I need more potassium? I think someone told me that lack of potassium causes twitchy eyelids.

I find it very, very annoying when my kids get water all over the bathroom during their baths. Pete is in there right now, and I’m hoping not to be met with a flood when I get him out. (My mom is in the bathroom with him; he isn’t entirely unattended. Speaking of which, how old does a kid need to be to take an entirely unattended bath?)

Almost every car dealership ad every made annoys me.

(Poppy keeps calling herself Princess Miamor Cadenze Cadence Cadenza. Is that from Phineas and Ferb? It sounds like it might be. I don’t find the name or Phineas and Ferb annoying, but this is supposed to be Stream of Consciousness, so I’m typing whatever pops into my head.)

I’m a little bit annoyed that I haven’t spelled “consciousness” correctly once in this entire post. Until that time; nailed it.

Cats who eat stink bugs and throw up? Annoying. Not that I would have any experience with that, JJ T. Cat.

And: time!
