The simple things are Never Easy

Now that I'm a mom, (being a mom could be an excuse) has made simple things quite difficult.

Here's my list of things that for a normal person (a.k.a. single person) can be simple and for me are not:

1. Closing the doors of cabinets in the kitchen or bathroom.

2. Putting dvds or cds in their appropriate cases.

3. Keeping my wallet in my purse.

4. Watering the lawn.

5. Wiping my butt. (just kidding, or am I?)

6. Maybe number 5 is true, although I do wipe, it is difficult to do it when you can't find any freakin toilet paper anywhere.

7. Putting freakin pinto beans in the slow cooker over night.

8. Getting out of the house before 10am.

9. Returning library books or dvds on time. I just can't do it! Not even with the new email reminders! UGGS!

10. Reading a real book.

Being a mom is part of the excuse, but having no time is the other. Any time management suggestions? Oh - I have one. How about I stop writing a pointless blog entry, and go shut the cabinets above the microwave? hmmm. Maybe I will.

blogs are no fun

so, blogs are no fun, if you wanna be telling the truth. 

But I don't. Well, I mean I do wanna tell the truth, I do wanna write chisme, and I do wanna write about my life, but I can't do so without everyone knowing my private life, knowing too much about someone else's private life, or knowing the truth that Celia tends to spit out everyday. 

Hmm... so then, if I can't write about these things - what should I write?

If I write about my day, you will invade Alex's privacy. If I write about other people, I may get in trouble. If I write about my job, I'll get fired. So then what?

I guess I'll try writing a review. Ok. A review about what?  I don't see movies. I don't read books. I don't read magazines. But I do go out to eat to one place once a week. So, yeah - eating works.

This week, and every week for the past month or two we've been going to Dinah's. If you don't have kids, then you don't understand the power of macaroni and cheese to fulfill the appetite of a child. Dinah's has exceptionally good, cheesy, sometimes soupy mac n' cheese. It's cheap too. 

Sometimes, we'll run into ralphs, or whole foods for this kid's treat (or dinner or lunch) but... at ralphs it's $3.99/pound, and at whole foods it costs $7.00 per pound. My kids eat about a pound of the stuff, but at Dinah's you can get about a pound for $3.00. We tend to get our 6 pieces of chicken, the pound of mac, cole slaw and potaters for $12.33. (without drinks) and bam, there's dinner. Plus the chicken is freakin awesome once shredded for tacos the next day. So, if you are hungry and poor, you can get that meal, with rolls and honey included for that price, and feed 4 people for about $3 and something a piece. Not bad. 

What a shitty blog. I'm really gonna have to start chismiando. (gossipping)

Have a great sunday. I will.
