Moving...myblather.planetevans.com

So after a long 2 days here at blogger.com I have decided to relocate. I started in this location without consulting Steve first. Appearently he thinks I would be better off on his site and so I am moving now before I am too invested. Thank you for visiting me here and please make the jump to myblather.planetevans.com!

Hot Mama

So here is the first story about what an idiot I can be sometimes, I am sure there will be many more...

Tonight I decided to make scones as part of our dinner. Steve LOVES scones and is always begging for them, so for his sake I sacrificed my waist line, got out the oil and the deep frying began. All was going as planned, until I accidentally dropped the tongs I was using to turn over the scones on my plate of raw bacon (the bacon is yet another "sacrifice" for Steve). A seemly harmless mistake, but this is where the trouble started. I am so paranoid about any sort of food poisoning, that I can't just pick up the tongs and call the 3 second rule, oh no, I had to clean them off with soap and hot water.

Again seemly harmless, but at some point during the cleaning process I stopped thinking about the cleaning and started wondering off in thought, (about how excited I am to try out the whole strike through thing, it looks fun!) until I was yanked back into reality to see my scone turning a very dark, dark shade of brown, okay yes it was completely black. I quickly reached over with my tongs to rescue this sizzling blob when all of a sudden it attacked me! At least that was the first thought that came to my mind, quickly I realized that it was the oil attacking me, not the actual scone, and shortly after that I figured out what really happened.

Now just incase common sense didn't dictate to you, because it forgot to tell me, that you can't stick tongs into a pan of VERY hot oil when there is still water on them. If you don't believe me, believe the little red dots all around my eyes and forehead! Luckily it only took about 2 hours and lots of cold water for them to stop stinging.

I am pleased to say that the girls were far enough away that they were not hit by the exploding oil in my kitchen, although Becca (2.5 yrs) did witness it all and told me afterward that now I am a "hot mama". The best part of all, in the girls sibling pre-school class we will be attending tomorrow morning it is...you guessed...it picture day!

Fascinated

I finally went to bed around midnight last night after sitting on the computer way too long. Becca and Kate were both fast asleep and I should have been taking advantage of that and sleeping myself. Steve (the husband) was anxiously awaiting my arrival and when I finally made it down the hall to our room, what is on my mind…my blog. (Wow I can say that now, I have my own blog, hence my blog…I like it. )

Anyway, I found myself laying there, wide awake just thinking of all the things I could write about. Thinking of how nice it will be to put a few random thought in writing and send them out there. Even if Steve and I are the only ones who read them, just the possibility of sharing with other adults had me fascinated. I guess that is what happens when you talk with a toddler and baby all day!

Dipping my toe in...

I have been a "blurker" for the past few months and I have finally decided to give it a go. Being a SAHM I have plenty of time to "work” on the computer. I have really enjoyed reading other blogs and have found myself thinking of starting one myself for quite some time now. Between my 2.5 year old Becca and 9 month old Kate we will see how it goes. If anyone manages to find this blog please share with me why you started blogging?

This is a test...this is only a test...please do not be alarmed...

Thank you.
