I may have forgotten how to cook
By Moriah on August 31st, 2009
I haven’t mentioned it but my mom has actually been here all week. The first few days she spent helping my sisters get their dorm room set up and staying at my brother/SIL’s house. She’s been staying here since Friday, and you can bet my kids are having fun.
It was a busy week! I was able to go out with some girlfriends to dinner and to see Julie & Julia. (Have you seen it? I know Meryl Streep was speaking the way Julia Child did but I have to say it drove me up the wall.) All my friends left saying it made them want to go cook. It made me want to run from the kitchen.
It could just be the pregnancy.
My mom, sisters, and I took the kids to Andy’s restaurant one night and then we also went back, sans kids, over the weekend with some friends. It turned out to be the week for eating out – we also made a stop for lunch at the tea room on Saturday and out for Chinese that same night. Andy and I even had a dinner date this week at Chili’s.
All that to say, I guess I can’t complain about having to cook this week since I’ve clearly been spoiled with all my un-cooking lately. (To top it off, my mom had made a big Sunday meal for us yesterday for my siblings and a cousin. I didn’t even heat up the rolls.)
Total change of subject… Saturday night we had to get the groceries for Sunday lunch and stopped in Walmart (I also needed more 2T girls’ underwear… can’t imagine why) and my sister and I turned around to see Drew with his hands cupped around something.
It was a handful of cigarette butts he had pilfered from the ashtray by the front door.
!!!
In all fairness, I don’t think he knows anyone who smokes and hasn’t really been exposed to the concept. I doubt he knew what they were. And I think we probably embarrassed him by our shocked cries of disgust. But still, ew. (His hands got a quick Purell bath, needless to say.)
And here he thought he had found himself a little treasure. Ha.

Oh, Boys and their “treasures”!!! I’m jealous of your busy week of no cooking. :)
Oh, ewww. Poor guy! To be so innocent again! Whew! I just now, in the last week, started cooking again since our move and I’m actually loving it…I know, I’m shocked, too!! We just ate out way too much for weeks on end and I was ready for something different. In two weeks, I’ll be sick of cooking. Ah, the emotions of a pregnant woman! :)
I feel your pain with the cigarette butts. blech.
No cooking sounds awesome, enjoy it while you can!
Hooray for Mom’s and no cooking.
I must say that it is a happy thing that children can grow up with total ignorance of smoking. Good for you!
It probably helps that our TV is only used for movies. :)
No cooking is nice sometimes! Glad you’re enjoying a break. (Or WERE enjoying a break.) I told you I was really, really behind on your blog. ;)
