i work close to home now and i am now able to go home for lunch. today i went home and put chicken a la king in the crock pot. i picked up the kids and got home to dinner ready. as soon as we told john about dinner, he immediately started complaining saying that he didn’t like it. chicken a la king is kyle’s favorite so he told john that it was his favorite. john said “but i don’t have a crown.” so we made him a crown so he could eat chicken a la king.
i got hit with the school picture scam again today. the kids school normally does pictures twice a year. but this year it seemed like we did them this summer and then again in september. kyle and i swore that we wouldn’t buy the pictures again because we just bought the summer pictures. well i went to pick the kids up and the pictures were available. i kept telling myself, just look at the pictures and say no thank you. i get to the table and the photographer lays out all the pictures. i say, i’m screwed. why couldn’t they be crying or looking the wrong way. why are they so photogenic? so yet again, i spent too much money on pictures. i just can’t say no. i think i need a twelve step program.
