I am not much of a cook, specially now that I am on such a limited diet. I really don't want to cook if its not something I really want to eat. Cooking is not fun to me, I dread coming home to cook after a day of working or running around. Zak is amazing about my cooking. He never ever gets upset with me if I tell him we are having fish sticks or he's on his own and he always says he likes what I cook, even if its horrible! Well, last Thursday, I decided that I was going to make homemade chicken noodle soup. Not hard...right!?!?! I was home most of the day so I worked on adding all the right ingredients throughout the afternoon. When Zak got home dinner was waiting for him. He was super excited that I even had anything ready so we sat down to eat. He asked if I added anything new to the soup and I said no, its just like my mom makes it. I took my first bite and thought oh gosh this is HOT! Well, I'm a wimp to spicy foods so I waited for Zak's reaction. His eyes lit up and he said are you sure you didn't put Tony Chachere or something like that in it? I said no, its paprika. Then I thought...OH NO... I grabbed the wrong seasoning! I added cayenne pepper (alot of it) instead of paprika! (To my defense they are in similar bottles and are the same color.) It was so hot! I was so upset at myself, I cried (go figure), and poor Zak tried desperately to finish his bowl of soup. Even he couldn't do it and he loves spicy foods!
I guess this could have happened to anyone but I really do feel like I'm going a bit crazy at times. More so than normal! I'm sure things won't change much when Colton comes.

Oh no!!!!! That is TOTALLY something I would do, too. I will have to use the baby brain excuse for the inevitable next time. :P
Ha! I just laughed out loud! I totally understand-- my kids always said the same thing-- "Mrs. Owen, what are Reese and Riley doing to your brain?!" Let's see, my latest: leaving all the groceries in the car for almost an hour, going to Target for lunch sacks and leaving with a basket full of everything BUT that... I could go on and on... :) And-- it's the thought that counts!! :)
Just letting you know that I e-mailed Zak today. I told him that I have a BIG feeling that Colton will be making his appearance on Saturday. My prediction is around3:00 p.m. I know you're ready, so I thought i would throw my "feeling" out there. :)
Hope you are well and have a GREAT week!
HA!!! This sounds just like something I would do ... with no baby brain! I am not the best cook ever! I've really been trying to practice lately!
THAT is exactly why I don't cook. I do stuff like that all the time.
So what is it called when you aren't pregnant any more? I have it... whatever it is ;-) It comes from sleep deprivation and never getting to finish a complete sentence again! (The picture of soup is beautiful!)
