Today I was completely in a fog. I barely slept last night, the kids and I flew through the first half of lessons ... and then I had to crash due to no sleep last night. Then as soon as we finished lessons, I was off again. It was FAJITA NIGHT! We just don't do fajitas very often but I LOVE them.
Normally we do them with steak but today we made chicken fajitas. I put the beans in the crock pot last night to soak and started them cooking at 10am this morning. Our fajitas sometimes are crock pot meals and sometimes, like tonight, not. I sauteed a green bell pepper, a yellow bell pepper and a red bell pepper with an onion that I had Julienned. Tortilla, rice, black beans, veggies, shredded chicken and a little sour cream (not on Adella's) ... oh and fresh pepper jack cheese for the boys. BLISS!
Okay, so then I got our clipless coupons for Hen House and cookie dough is on sale for 99 cents. That is over $2 off! Woot. *side note, later found out I could have gotten it for free so I will be going back for more ... wink* Monkey wasn't having any of this watching us eat and then nurse business, I had to cave and finally start her on solids. She ate 2 TBS of applesauce without missing a beat. Then she nursed and fell asleep. *later woke because she pulled her own hair. Which apparently was NOT as amusing as I found it to be!* Then after telling the children that their failure to listen to directions through dinner and asking the same question multiple times, they lost the ability to help make cookies and since it was 8pm, they would not get any cookies until tomorrow. AND enter bad momma. Tired of dealing with the huge meltdown about cleaning up their rooms and they were so close to finishing. I finally walked in there with my phone acting as a timer. Told them that any child that had their room cleaned in 15 minutes got one cookie before bedtime. Yup, both kids had VERY clean rooms in 15 minutes. Bad parent or not ... bribery does work when you are wanting to end the day on a good note!
