Since I was getting off at 3PM and I had promised to bring Jory to my job, I brought him with. He’s getting so old, after trying to eat all of my work oatmeal, he did his work and watched Nickelodeon. People didn’t even know he was here. My baby is maturing.
Then we get a great email that says we’re getting off at 1PM. SCORE!!! I was going to start cooking some of my Paula Deen dishes tonight, this would give us a great head start without the girls around. We could stop at Pic N’ Save and pick up some puzzles and other assorted goods we needed.
Everything was on course, until my computer shut down and lost an hour worth of work. I could have cried. Then my computer had to be swapped out, back to redoing the work. Suffice to say 1PM came and went, but by 2:30PM we were finally out the door. Shout out to Marcus for doing some last minute babysitting while I ran around like a chicken with my head cut off.
We stopped and picked up some milk, then we stopped and picked up the puzzle and things, then we went home. Then I remembered we needed to go to the library, so off we went for an afternoon walk. While I searched for books for him to read, another young boy showed Jory how to play a game on the computer. I love kids helping out other kids.
We walked home in the dark, talking and walking, walking and talking. I’m just madly in love with him. When we got home, Oma and the girls were home, then it was time to start cooking.
Green beans, mac n cheese, collard greens, I figured I could make those three things easily. Then I started tinkering with them, don’t know if that’s good or bad. I always forget to taste the food to see if it needs more seasoning or something. A co-worker suggested grinding the turkey, so I did and I was a little frightened when the turkey still felt frozen, but I prayed for the best and threw it in the fridge.
The kids were happily occupied and part one of cooking Thanksgiving dinner was in full swing.
