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.
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?

I'm so sorry about your burn. That is so incredibly painful! I hope you are able to rest and take care of yourself.

ReplyDeleteSorry about your burn, but pizza is a must when you are not cooking for anyone else. LOL
ReplyDeleteBurns can hurt so much. Baby yourself as much as you want.
ReplyDeleteOh no! How painful!
ReplyDeleteThe pizza was a good plan! Wink!
