guess who is domestic? yeah that would be ME!

it's rare that i revel in my domestic skills. at one time i considered myself to be a domestic goddess. but the kids, the cancer, the depression kind of killed that off.

but today i got it back! i achieved domesticity. in an afternoon no less.

i baked chocolate chip cookies (actually i made the dough and let Lance cook them) but hello! from scratch! not a roll or break and bakes. FANCY! yeah i did .

i used to bake regularly before i got married. back when i strived to be domestic. now i have a husband, those skills went in the crapper. he wasn't sufficiently impressed in the beginning. now he knows to rave about any minor effort i make since it is SO RARE an occurance. i have him conditioned to think that mac and cheese from a box is something that deserves high praise. i'm all about setting the bar low.
where my friends that put a hot meal on the table every night with 2 side dishes, and 2 veggies, and dessert, still have to keep up with that crap! sure that is fine sometimes but with a whole family, lets be real, sometimes there isn't enough time in the day to do that crap. and totally NOT daily.

then i made some cheddar bay biscuits. heavenly day! it's easy.
2 cups Bisquick mix,
2/3 cup milk
and a cup of cheddar cheese shredded.
mix and scoop onto un greased cookie sheet.

bake for 8-10 minutes at 350

then take some butter i used a whole cube. since i'd rather have buttery delightfulness
1 tsp of garlic powder
1 tsp of parsley flakes.

melt butter in microwave while biscuits cook, add seasonings and pour over to drench
serve while warm.

Heavenly day! they were good.

and then i make bbq baked chicken too. for dinner.
i rarely cook dinner much less bake treats.

and today i did both.
i have to do the dishes now. since my lame blog statement recently involving washing dishes when cooking or baking. and my general irritation yeah now i have to do it. LAME! which i would have to do anyway since it seems like someone is on strike. ugh! i hate dishes.

yeah so i had an unusual amount of domestic skill today.
and while baking i re arranged the spice cupboard too. fabulous!

i also emailed Joy's teacher regarding her behavior and meds situation. to open the channels of communication. and I supervised homework, and chores. and I used my label maker , i see an organized dressing room coming soon. i printed labels for the bins and the cubbies. whoohoo now i just need to sort everything into them. which is NO SMALL TASK!

wow. i am on a roll today.

I've received some awards. i need to pass on. so watch for that post to be coming soon. i know you are super excited about that. and I'm actually going to give them away. sometimes I'm lame and just hoard them. so today I'm passing them on. whoohoo on that. i know you are waiting with Baited breath on that news.

so happy monday evening/ tuesday morning.

how was your afternoon?
