In the next 24 hours I will be making 25 pieces of Chicken and Goat Cheese Burritos for my Mommy and Me Party Tonight.
15 Rice Crispy Treat Christmas Trees for my kids Preschool Party tomorrow and
100-150 cake pops for my other daughters Middle School family tradition fest. I guess cake pops are now officially out family tradition.
Of course this does not include the meat loaf that I made yesterday, twins that need constant attention, dentist visit, middle school pick up, posting things on this blog, preferably a shower before the party and the potato leek soup I was planning to make.
Which makes me wonder, How in the World did I get myself into this? Again.
Why can’t I go and buy snacks, prepackaged cheese dip for the adult party? Napkins or favors for the kids? That’s easy right? Only requires one stop.
I do love to cook and highly enjoy it but I have found myself too many times making 2 am cupcakes or cookies for something I signed up for.
I do thrive in busy days and like them, having the feeling of achieving a lot at the end of the day but today is quite frankly a little ridiculous.
Now if I could just find an underachiever pill so I can get rid of this show off thing I have going with my food. The worst I start looking the better my food does. Tomorrow I will show up disheveled on the way to preschool. Who knows if I will even have time for make up today.
I would just take a half I swear, enough to take me to a store (even gourmet) and buy ready stuff. That would be great. I can then pretend that I made it, yes even lie and not feel bad about it. Yes I made it stayed up all night and got a massage, facial and a manicure.
Do you know of a pill like that? Are you a show off overachiever, what do you take?
Authors bio is coming up shortly.
Friday is Maya’s Teacher Appreciation Luncheon and we are supposed to bring a dish. I was already annoyed by this because a. I have a job, how am I supposed to bring a dish at noon, and b. I just forked over yet more $$ for the teacher X-mas gift which was a $400 gift card. Ridiculous, right?
Normally I’d manage to fit a lasagna into my schedule by overachieving, as you are, but I simply couldn’t do it. So instead of feeling guilty I gave the room parent $20 and called it a day. I feel…liberated!!
But seriously, how cute are those cake pops!
That’s for sure a whole lot of cooking you got yourself into!
I too have this thing that I just need to make something myself and I just can’t show up with something bought. But I am learning. It is only half as satisfying but at least I get my rest.
Good luck and have a good day anyway!
