Is It Bedtime Yet?

For me.  Can it be bedtime for me.  Today was a good day actually - we didn't particularly accomplish a lot, but nothing in particular needed to be done.  I am a day out on my menu planning since the fiasco last night (I Facebooked that one on the Mom Evolution page) but I'm just moving along.  Tonight it was pork sliders with homemade barbeque sauce, sweet potato fries and coleslaw.  I invited Mom and Nana over.

Nana hasn't seen my house since I went ballistic on the organization and I wanted her to since she was often tidying every time she walked in the door.  Tonight she did not have to and she was pleased (I feel so grown up).  And both of them enjoyed dinner as well.  We were talking afterwards about all of my organization and now the decent cooking.

When I was young, Nana tried to get me interested in cooking but I wasn't - at all.  I could make ichiban and KD and crepes.  I was good to go.  Nana once said to me, in trademark Nana frustration,  "When you get married, you're going to want to cook for your family and you'll want to be good at it." "No," I replied, "I'll just marry a chef."  And I did that.  It didn't work out so well and turns out I do want to cook for my family and I did have to learn how to cook.  Who knew? (Don't say "Nana".)

Anyhow, we were talking about all of this domestication and I have been thinking - there's still a vacancy for a Martha Stewart right?  And who wouldn't want to be Martha freaking Stewart?  Minus the tax-evasion-and-jail part.  I probably won't be the next Martha Stewart but who knows? It made my Mom laugh.  All in all, it was a good day but like any weekend, it was busy here and there and I'm ready for bed.  If I can just get the kids settled down.  One more thing.  In my life, that's pretty normal.
