On the days that are blissfully quiet, the children are playing by themselves quietly, the house is filled with a blissful peace, I like to bake.
Well... At least one part of that statement was true. I do love to bake (I can dream about the blissfully peaceful house right?). Where I have to slightly limit my experimentation in the cooking arena I can go all out in the baking area. How bad can cookies really be?! And with a 2 year old helper coming in and adding extra sugar while i'm not looking, that means they can only get better! Baking is my tension reliever, the ultimate zen. There are however, many times where that zen get's interrupted by a huge crash down the hall... Children, you know! But for the most part I can just relax and kneed some bread, stir up some brownies, or mix up some cookies without catastrophic mishaps! There is nothing better than something sweet after dinner, or cheating on your oatmeal with a piece of apple pie for breakfast! I have to admit, my hubby is my only true critic and he's not much of one at that. He loves sweets too much to give an un-biased opinion, but that's perfectly fine with me! Who wants to hear that your cookies are over done? He just grabs a glass of milk and says they're great. Those are wonderful days! Not to mention your little girl sitting at the table covered in brownie, reaches over for a huge brownie hug and says 'Mama, is delicious!'. My family makes me day, every day!
I'm sure everyone will agree with me on this... Cleaning up the kitchen sucks! I'm a super procrastinator and I have growth periods where I go anti procrastinating and my house is spotless but most of those are short lived! I can't stand a messy kitchen (as my dishes from last night are still sitting in the sink) but it's so hard after a yummy dinner to pick it up and put everything away. I keep telling myself, just do it! But then I think... I'm not a Nike commercial good grief... Enough of a push off to not do the dishes. Bad me bad me!! Oh well, there's always tomorrow, right! ;)
