My "Blah" Day

I didn't sleep well so it was hard to get up and function today. I ended up watching TV via the internet (no TV services for us for now) for a couple hours and then it took me another couple of hours just to get jazzed enough to get dressed. I drove my daughter to her and my dentist appointments.

Surprise surprise I needed a filling. I had not emotionally and mentally prepared myself for the shot and/or the drill, so I started shaking pretty badly, but I was able to keep from crying as my daughter was in the room with me and I didn't want to traumatize her with my psychosis LOL (irrational fear of needles....fine with the pain....have severe issues with things penetrating my skin tho ~ and as for the drill I had a bad dentist one time, we'll leave it at that).

I with my half-dead face and my daughter with her "she's fine but will need braces someday" checkup done we headed for lunch. She picked McDonald's (of course) but I can't stand McDonald's anymore, so even though I ordered I didn't eat anything except a few fries.

Driving home was awful - I kept feeling so tired I could barely keep my eyes open! Either because I didn't sleep well or because I was coming down off the adrenalin of getting a filling (if you've followed any of my blogs you know what an ordeal it is for me to go to the dentist even though I have the best dentist ever!!). I ended up trying to slap my leg really hard but accidentally hit the gearshift and the unexpected pain kept me plenty awake all the way home.

Once home I found out some children decided that if I wasn't home to ask permission they could do whatever they wanted. Well I had to nip THAT in the bud! We now have a new rule in place: If a parent isn't available to grant you permission, the answer is NO.

I quickly tried to make dinner. My husband had requested chili, so I had kids grab me the ingredients while I prepared my workstation and got started. My stepdaughter brought me ground turkey instead of ground beef. I had to go to the store to get ground beef. While walking home (the store is just down the street) I was thinking the LAST time we had chili we mixed ground turkey in it in an effort to be a little healthier, and if my memory served it was pretty good! The seasoning in chili is pretty stout and you can't really tell what meat is in it anyway, so I went ahead and put on pound of ground turkey in it along with a pound of chili (feeding seven people, over half of them very LARGE people).

I thought the end result was excellent!! Even better than the last time we had chili!!

Well my husband took one bite and asked me what kind of meat was in it. I told him and he shoved his plate away exclaiming how much he hated it. I was surprised because I thought it was so good (and everyone else was enjoying their chili with gusto) and we had the same thing a while back! But then the Mr. informed me that it was actually sausage we mixed with the ground beef the last time. Well oh well, bully for him because ground turkey in sausage was AWESOME!

Now I'm just trying to baby step until bedtime, and it might be an early on at that. I have no idea why I'm so lethargic, but it's horrible! Hopefully tonight I'll get a good night's sleep!
