only me...kind of re-post from recipe board

So I am trying so hard to be domestic. I am following the recipe board and trying to learn how to cook...

Last night I made chicken,sausage, and potatoes. I left the market at 6:30 after work with potatoes only. Of course I managed to remember Movie Style Butter Popcorn to eat while I watch Survivor. So I go back in - and leave with chicken and no sausage! (is this a pregnancy thing - this chronic forgetfulness?)

So here is the real story. I ordered a crockpot from Fortunoff I have been DYING for. I got it last month and I left it in the trunk of my car (must not have been exactly DYING). I buy tons of ingredients last night for my sister's famous crockpot chili...figuring PERFECT. I will come home at lunch, put it all together, make cornbread when I get home and have a great hurricane dinner. I race home, brown the meat and onions..and go to get the box from my car.

IT'S AN EFFING RECORD PLAYER! CAN YOU EVEN?!?! They sent me a RECORD PLAYER instead of my CROCKPOT!!!

Now I am eating a peanut butter sandwich to drown my misery....I'll never be the perfect wife/mommy....

Dont worry perfect never happens!! But you will be one of the best!!
And yes the forgetful thing is part of pregnancy there is an actual shift in the chemical makeup in a womans brain that causes memmory loss. Unfortunatly the damage is permanent you will find your memory will never be the same again.
But at least the rest of us can forget right along with ya!!

This sounds like my life!!!!

Here's the ONE and ONLY preggo fact about the changes in a woman's body that MY HUBBY STILL remembers today....



Your brain shrinks between 3-5% when you are preggo...

And the good news??








Don't worry....it grows back!

jENNY, Hope ya dont mind, that story had me LAUGHING !!!

You get points for trying!

They better pay for it to be shipped back to them and pay for shipping back to you!

I am sorry, but that is so funny.

However, I would have been p-ed off, especially after all that preparation.

I have to agree Jenny that is a funny story

thanks guys for letting me vent!

This morning I do see the humor! It's actually a **** riot. My husband said it best- 'let's make a rump roast this weekendi n your new record player'.

Jenny I am so hard right now. A CD player instead of a crock pot
Did you at least listen to good music while eating your PB&J?

I made a great dinner last night- that maybe after a few weeks of shopping you can try
-Cut a 3-4 chicken breasts/cutlets into bit sized pieces
-Heat up a large skillet with olive oil and garlic(depends on how much you like, I used 2-3 cloves) and some diced onion
-Add chicken and cook
-Boil 1/2 pound of your favorite pasta (not thin noodles though)
-After chicken is cooked add 2 cans of diced tomotoes, continue to cook
-once tomotoes are heated, add frozen chopped spinach. I used maybe 1 1/2 cups or so.
-Check on your pasta! remove from heat when done, drain and add to skillet.
-Now add a few chunks of mozz cheese and some parma cheese and parslety and serve!

It is a very easy dish and you can mix and match stuff too- use broc. if you like that better or another spice.

Jenny ... that was hysterical. And Claud, is that what I have to look forward too. Rob is going to LOVE that! I already forget where I put my keys!!!

ugh! this was a week after I lost my watch AND insisted I dropped my car keys down a grate in front of Starbucks and then found them in my ignition.....
