Quick Little Mid-Morning Post: Oh crap, I forgot to take something out for dinner!

Yep, it's going to be one of those days.  Today is DD#1's first day out of high school (she finished finals yesterday and graduates on Saturday - OMG!), so that kind of screwed up my morning a bit.  It's natural that I'm freaking out about her being done with school, right?  I still can't believe she'll be leaving for college in NYC some time during August.  I swear she was only 10 years old, then I blinked, and she turned almost 18.  Where did the time go?!?

And, naturally, because it had nothing to do with this or the amount of sleep I had last night (yeah right), I totally forgot to take something out of the freezer for dinner tonight.  I know I'm not the only one but it drives me nuts.  I'm a real over-planner (just ask DH) and I hate not being in control.  I'm not a control freak, really.  I just like things done as planned and... and... oh wait.  I guess I may be.  (DH and the kiddies better quit laughing right now!)

Back to my lack of planning for tonight's dinner.  Because I didn't take anything out, I'm going to end up spending the rest of my work day try to figure out what I'm going to make (pasta again?) and will my two picky eaters (DD#1 & DD#4) actually eat it.  My kids are lucky they didn't grow up with my mom.  When I was growing up, you ate what she cooked.  If you refused to eat it for dinner, guess what?  You were sent  to your room (in the Stone Ages when I grew up, there were no electronic devices in your room to entertain you during this time) and when you came out, your dinner was STILL SITTING ON THE TABLE FOR YOU TO EAT.  It truly was a case of "I don't care if you like liver and onions, you're going to eat them because that's what I made for dinner."  The only time I got out of eating the dinner my mother cooked was when she made fish but that's because I'm allergic to iodine and most seafood.

Anywho, I'm guessing we're looking at pasta for dinner.  Maybe tortellini with vodka sauce and garlic bread and salad on the side?  Yeah, that sounds like a plan.

I'm sure I'll be writing something later.

Until then...
