Have you ever had one of those days?

Last night, I was starting to make our dinner around 5. At 5:15, Mickey called to tell me that he wasn't sure when he would be home and to just eat without him. I am disappointed but will live. So I go to add the spaghetti sauce to my ground beef and guess what, no premade sauce. Yes, I live off of Ragu, Barilla, Prego or whatever is on sale type of sauce. So I do what I always do...I go to allrecipes and search a sauce recipe. Amazingly, I have all the ingredients so I head back to the kitchen to cook.

Well, I didn't realize that I had to simmer for an hour before it would be edible. Beth and Jacob come in and complain about being hungry for the millionth time. And I give in. Beth says that she will make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Jacob jumps on the bandwagon and wants one too. I would generally not let them make their own sandwiches but I was busy with my sauce. I still had hopes that someone would have a decent meal. They even made Emma a PB and J and she ate it...she never eats them when I make it. Beth and Jacob enjoyed their cooking so much, that they had 2 sandwiches each. I added some grapes to their dinner so I didn't feel too bad about the nutritional aspect of their dinner. I am starting to think that they should do the cooking now. :)

So by the time the sauce was finished around 7, I just put the it in the fridge for another day. Mickey and I had chicken salad on crackers for dinner. Hopefully tonight will be a little better!
