Ever have one of those days?

I did today. Holy cow! I'm surprised dinner got on the table at all.

The day started out great. I went to bed early last night so I was in bed, lights out, by 10:00. Kaia woke up at around 7:30. So 9 1/2 hours is a good night's sleep I would say. I was able to get the laundry room cleaned and vacuumed, the bathroom scrubbed, the kitchen cleaned, floors swept and mopped, and the living room cleaned up and vacuumed. All by noon. :)

I figured after that busy morning I deserved an afternoon off. So I watched Army Wives. I got the second season from Netflix. I watched however many episodes are on a disc. 5 I think. Anyway, after that I came in the kitchen to get stuff ready for dinner and there were graham crackers covering the table and my freshly swept and mopped floor. Oh well quick fix. I turned on the oven to preheat it for dinner. I was mixing up the bread dough when I noticed some smoke coming from the vents in the stove. I looked inside and what did I find, but the peanut butter bars I made Monday for family home evening. I had a plastic lid on them. Needless to say it melted all over the inside of my oven. It covered the racks and the bottom of the oven. It was a mess. I'm surprised the smoke alarm didn't wake Mike up. It went off like 5 times. :) I got that all cleaned up and put the pork chops in. I put some butter in there to melt so I could put my bread in it. I left it in there for a little too long apparently and scorched the butter. I cleaned out the pan, put some more butter in there and got the bread in the oven.

Finally at about 7:30 dinner was on the table. It was definitely worth the hell I went through to get it there. I made Cola Pork Chops the recipe can be found here. And I made the fabulous bread that Andrea recommended here. So good. I think you all should make it for dinner TONIGHT!!
