Those of you who know me, know I can do a lot of different things. What you may not know about me, is I expect to be really good at everything I do even if I have never done it before. I know, this is very strange, but is it one of my things. I ran into this the other day. L is working a weird schedule, so she is not here to cook dinner. I decided to give it a whirl with what we had in the house. When L came home, I was upset because I made such a crappy dinner. I made chicken, which was fine. Then I made 2 steamers, those things you nuke in the microwave, they cook in the bag, and then squish around and serve. Well…they were gross. I got upset because I feel like making steamers is a fool proof dinner. L comes home and asks me how my dinner was and I say CRAPPY! Then I proceed to go on a tirade how I am going to starve for the next 5 weeks without her here to cook dinner and I can’t even make ONE GOOD MEAL! She of course laughs at me, “why are you upset baby, are you mad at the steamers?”
“Yes!!” I say. She laughs, picks one up and informs me they have been expired for 8 months and that is why they are so crappy. Oh.
She then asks me, “did your mom teach you to cook?”
“No.”
“Did I teach you to cook?”
“No.”
“Have you been watching cooking shows?”
“No.”
“Why do you expect to be able to cook?”
“Because I am a grown woman and should be able to prepare a meal!”
“Okay, let me teach you to cook.”
Like I said, I expect to be able to do things I have never done before and do them well. Maybe I should cut myself some slack. L ordered a beginners cook book for me:) I think it will be a good skill to get down before we have kids, so my night to cook will be more than pizza night!
On another note, I feel like myself a little more everyday. The thyroid meds finally got my energy levels back. On Friday I had an insane day at work and I still came home and walked the dogs and did the dishes. Now that sounds more like me!
I also determined that my cycle length is 28 days and so far is like clockwork. I should be ovulating in the next few days(3-4 to be exact). I am sad to not be trying this time, but feel that it will be so soon that I am still excited. All seems to be heading in the right direction. We might have taken a detour to babyville, but we will get there soon!

Lol, we must be twins. (Some of those steamers with the sauces really are gross though. I stick with the veggies with no sauces.)
ReplyDeletei agree, you need to cut yourself some slack. how fun though to learn something new! can't wait to hear as you grow more confident in your abilities. =)
ReplyDeletedude, you thought you should be able to cook when your idea of dinner used to be croutons? come on, really? lol- plus, we both know you shouldn't be comparing anyone to your wife's cooking. that will always be bad in comparison to that crazy goodness
