getting it all together???

so my 6th weekend of being a married women, running a "household", trying to work out, cook, clean and make sure we have clean clothes to wear, I feel like I should be starting to get into the flow of things. aka not like a chicken with my head cut off when i go into work with my sweater on inside out because the wind or the scary raccoons got into the garbage so i was all flustered trying to pick it up at 8AM when normally i would think, "well that's a bummer. sorry dad" and get into my warm car and drive away. but that's a different story for a different day. :) 

how did i do?
let's see, shall we?

1.) we went to the gym.

but then I realized that my wallet/purse REALLY needed to be sorted out. so I did that important job while Drew did box jumps :) 



2.) I made a pinteresty craft. 
second attempt at chalk paint. (do not get confused with chalkboard paint, like i did)


but then apparently my dad needed a tool that I had "borrowed" from their garage. and when my dad is in the middle of a project and he needs a tool, he needs it RIGHT THEN! like i had to turn off the oven and literally jump in the car with my slippers to bring him his beloved handsaw. whooooops. 


3.) i cooked.

well. drew cooked. i was in charge of the garlic bread. but apparently i thought it just had to be microwaved. but i guess it needed the oven? So like 5 minutes before the rest of the meal was done, i realized I still had to preheat the oven and then cook the bread for 10 minutes. psshh... preheating is over-rated. So i turned on the oven to broil and just stuck the bread in. 

and forgot about it until i started smelling burnt toast. 
fine. i conceded that I was a horrid cook and decided to just eat the rest of our meal, and make some butter rolls following the REAL instructions. preheat to 350.

welllll. that would have been fine. except that I forgot to take OUT the burnt garlic bread while the oven was preheating for the butter-rolls. :)

4.) i talked Drew into cleaning my car :) 
well, he offered. 

we got a new shopvac and he was detailing the inside while I ran some errands. I came home to a beautifully clean car but i knew it was too good to be true.

disgusting. 

he probably failed to mention that the chicken was more than likely on the PASSENGER SIDE WHERE HE SITS! :)



so yeah. i got some work to do in this whole wife department. :) but you gotta start somewhere, right? :)
