Plans


Plans
I’ve learned that planning and forethought make for a successful week in the classroom. (usually) I’ve never really applied this to home.  I tend to plan dinner as I pull into the garage.  Today as I make our lunch I’m making a pot of soup to provide me with several lunches and a dinner.  My husband will be out of town for 3 days and I tend to make poor choices when it’s just me.

That was my plan.  Efficiency.  Planning ahead.

Today as I made lunch I was using all 5 burners on our stove.  Lunch was cooking away, and I was also making soup.  As I put the finishing touches on our meal I started to combine the ingredients for the soup.  The barley was cooked, and ready to drain.  Once it was in the soup pot it could simmer for a few hours.  I plan to have an easy week!


Today as I made lunch I severely burned my hand.   I was using all the burners on my stove and the handle of small pan I was using was too close to another burner.  I’m wearing a large bandage and also have a singed ring finger.  As I spend the week alone there will be many tasks I will need to delay.  One handed isn’t efficient.  I plan to order pizza and feel sorry for myself.

  1. Oh no! That's not the kind of change of plans I was hoping to read about. I'm sorry you hurt yourself! Looking at the bright side...you won't be able to do laundry or dishes with that hand for a few days. Darn. And, I'm sure that cleaning the house should probably wait as well. Darn. Sounds like you will have to make do with slicing, reading, watching tv and relaxing for a few days. Darn again! ;) It's all about prospective, right?
