Today was definitely entertaining. I totally botched the pecan pie. Note to self: 2 cups of nuts DOES NOT mean 16oz of nuts. Apparently it still came out quite good, a bit nutty, but so am I so it works. Just as we were sitting down to dinner my 5 year old announces for us all that we were eating a dead bird that got shot. Well, I HAD been looking forward to some good turkey but now I have a fabulous graphic mental picture in my head!
Had a brief spat with the hubby but we worked it out. He was frustrated and made a few sarcastic remarks that I was very hurt by but out of it I finally realized how I tend to either space out or hyper focus on something and lose track of the other. I don't do it on purpose. I'm easily distracted by technology. He suffers from the same thing but I learned long ago to not get mad about it but rather make sure I had his attention and looking at me so I know he is registering what I'm saying. I apparently suffer from the same which had gotten increasingly worse. So rather than get frustrated and just not tell me and then mouth off about it I asked him to help me recognize when I am doing it and to draw my attention on him completely first without getting mad. I'm going to try to do better.
Tonight was fun, although I still struggle a bit with claustrophobia. I swear when it hit 9:56, it was like the whole world took a crazy pill. Holy crap! We did however get a ps3 for my husband for christmas so it was worth it. Well, that and I have never been Black Friday shopping before so it was something I just "had" to experience.
Tis the end of the evening and I lay here curled up listening to the gentle rain outside my window. My thoughts drift...and tonight it is so very sweet...
