My Kids Can Now Breathe A Sigh Of Relief

Because I somehow talked myself into cooking breakfast this morning.

For those of you that know, I am a terrible cook. I can boil water, follow box directions, and can cook on the grill. But in the kitchen, it's a completely different type of disaster. In the past I've made liquid pizza, squishy goop and cheese, flat cakes, and a variety of other culinary disasters that have taught my kids to avoid my cooking at all costs.

But for some reason I decided (was urged) to give it another go. There were plans for French Toast and I found myself breaking eggs, scurrying for the other materials, and running around trying to piece together something that would resemble French Toast. And I think I was doing well, until DeAnn came along and saved the day and got everything on the right path. I don't think the kids would have necessarily died from food poisoning, but I probably would have ruined breakfast once again and had not heard the end of it for a while...

One of these days maybe I'll get it together (or take some cooking lessons). But for now it's takeout and Hamburger Helper until that happens.

On Call

It's Friday and from the looks of it, it's going to be a long weekend.

I'm backing up a couple of my colleagues as they walk for Breast Cancer research this weekend. The walk is literally all weekend, so I expect they will be pretty worn out by Monday. There was a request made for a chaser vehicle stocked with "Wine and Ibuprofen" but alas I will be behind the screens ensuring a lack of chaos on the global network.
