Dinner Fail 5,633

So in attempt to get ahead on my week I spent the better part of Sunday and Monday prepping our food for dinner this week. We start Life Groups tonight and for some reason I turn into a not so nice wife/mom as I am rushing dinner along to get out the door. You know the kind that tells their kids to hurry up and eat, stop taking, just eat...we are late again. Yeah I can be that mom.

Knowing all this I thought I'd get ahead of the ugly mom syndrome and plan my menu. I even drew out his cute little grid in which the hubs said I should just make an excel sheet and save it...if you know me you know I believe that Excel is the spawn of satan! I even paroozed Pinterest like all good moms do for some new menu items. Got my list, drug the kids to Costco and Sprouts and we were set for the week. 

Since we live in SoCal and my kids are creatures of habits we have to have Tacos every Tuesday because "duh Mom it's Taco Tuesday night". I got the pork for carnitas, the salsa, the avacado to make guacamole, the corn tortillas for us and flour for the littles. It was going to be divine. The pork had marinated for 24 hours and was going to be put into the crock pot before I left to drop everyone off at their schools.

I go to school on Tuesday and Thursday's. As I was walking up to my class this morning it hit me. I never put the darn pork in the crock pot. What are we going to do for dinner now? Should I text Corban and ask him to do that one handed (he broke his right arm a few weeks ago) and hope that he gets the pork into the crock pot and not all over the floor? Knowing that I just mopped last night the potential of the mess was a risk my OCD could not deal with! The risk was too big. I tried to call the hubs, but he didn't answer. Onto plan B. 

Since we are starting Life Groups tonight I wanted to pick up some cookies to bring like all good leaders do right?!? Yes I should have made them myself like any self proclaimed Monica Gellhar but I spent all my time preparing the meats and I ran out of time to make cookies. Off to Sprouts I go. I am always a sucker for an olive bar.

Thank the lord for Sprouts. Cesar salad, spaghetti and meatballs with garlic bread is what's for dinner. Let's just hope those creatures of habits I have will forget it's Tuesday. Oh and the cookies thank God I didn't forget those. Yes I had to circle back for them. Obviously my ADD is in full force today!

I hope all of you have a fantastic dinner! Off to Life Groups we go and believe it or not no ugly mom syndrome reared its ugly head!
