It's hilarious...

I've promised a hilarious ride to my readers who have the bravery to follow along in the curiosity of my life. So let's dive into the kitchen with me. Oh, a day in the life...lol. Outside of the humor in raising my four kids (it's amazing they let us be parents) brings us to me and my oven. You see, I am the type of person who naturally gets in way over my head. I take on big projects without a plan in how I am going to maintain or persevere, and as a result, I have been labeled so kindly by my family as a "quitter." The list of what I have started and quit, is near endless. Show choir, playing the clarinet, cheerleading, quilting, crocheting, even ghost in the graveyard. :) And then, there comes a day when you realize that you have unofficially "grown up," crap! Now you cannot quit. Days get hard in marriage and raising kids, with your job, and honestly just life, and you talk with yourself, and realize there is no going back. No giving up, absolutely no quitting. So what is a poor person to do? Here's what has occurred to me, Don't Drop the Cookies! Since on days like today, when I am in over my head, and taken on more than I can chew, I am faced with obligations (I am the "yes man") such as 14 dozen cookies in 4 different varieties due for an event in T minus 8 hours. Pans are flying folks, cookies are all over my kitchen, the dishwasher looks like it has puked all over my counters, and what happens right in the middle of all of the chaos...I drop the cookies. An entire sheet of beautifully perfected warm chewy cookies smash and crumble onto the floor. That's life, and to be transparent, that is what baking with me is like. I will be pulled in a baker's dozen of different directions, and forget to add the baking soda that makes the cookies rise. My loaves of amish bread have sat on the counter "proofing" for so long, that they collapse in the oven. I promise that I could be a millionaire at least, just selling all the "oopses" I bake each week.
So let's decide that we are going to prayerfully consider any new adventure that we are taking on, before doing so. Not much can suck the life out of you more than having a plate that is too full. Please tell me I am not the only one who does such...who is the official yes man, and agrees to help anyone and everyone at the drop of a hat. Remember when life gets a little overwhelming and we are pulled here and there, doing this and that, not to much avail, that the last thing we want to do, is fall backwards and drop the cookies. We'll chat soon~
