I’m making ham today. I’ve never made it, and I’m kind of nervous about how it’ll turn out. But I put it in at about 1:40-ish and my mom said it shouldn’t be in the crock pot for more than four hours. Maybe I jumped the gun a bit since we’re expecting company for dinner at 6:00, but it still needs to be chopped up and gravy needs to be made as well. I’m hoping that it turns out delicious like my moms, since I’m doing it exactly like she does, or at least trying to. I poked at it a few minutes ago and I’m sad it looks a little dry 🙁 I thought that was virtually impossible with a crock pot! Oh well, I guess thats what gravy is for. Either way, it smells yummy in here. Oh, and I made a brownie, so that smells yummy too. I suppose both smells together are kind of weird but its not everyday my house smells like dinner in the afternoon so I’m just saying that, in general, victory smells sweet.
On an unrelated note, Dekker broke his sleeping record today. He went down just after 8:00 last night and I woke him at 1:00 this afternoon. Seventeen hours. I assumed he’d be energized for the day after that and figured I’d be lucky if he’d nap for me. By 3:30 he was what we like to call “drunk walking” all over the basement, knocking into this, or just falling over from standing still, laughing hysterically. It was time. Its been 20 minutes since I put him in his crib and he hasn’t made a sound. Someone is definitely growing. But seriously, how much bigger can the little guy get?!
Things to accomplish before company comes: Ice the brownie, dress the baby (if he’s awake in time), finish dishes, put on real clothes and try to somehow camouflage the enormous zit growing up on my cheekbone. Seriously, who gets a zit there? Me, I guess. Time for some makeup! But other than that, my house it tidy, floors are swept, toys are picked up, and I don’t really have anything that I have to panic about. Brady had to work today, which is always disappointing, but he’ll be home in less than an hour to help me with last minute details, like actually cutting up the ham, which neither of us have ever done before. But until then, my feet are FROZEN and nothing I’ve done is helping. So I’m going to lay in bed for a few minutes and warm my toes. Bliss.
Woohoo! Good for me, posting in the afternoon. On the weekend!!!!
