Crockpot Fail

This morning was NUTS...Livie woke up again at 2pm and had gotten sick again in her crib.  By the time I gave her a bath and got her room cleaned up and back to bed it was after 3am.  I tried to get up with my alarm but that just didn't happen and some how a little bed monkey (Dominic) ended up in our bed last night at some point...Let's just say I was exhausted and got out of bed late.  This made for a nutzo morning of running around and not being able to do as much as I normally do.

It was amazing to me how much 10 minutes can make a difference in my commute.  Yesterday I left exactly at 5p and it took me alot longer to get home.  I normally leave at 4:45 and it makes a huge difference.  Same thing this morning.  I usually leave no later than 6:45 but I left at 6:55 this morning and I didn't get to work until 7:45, normally I'm at work by 7:20.  I can't say it takes ALOT longer but is sure is more stressful b/c there are more crazy cars on the road.  Oh well...Luckily I LOVE my new job at UA so all is good :)

Food

Kashi and Almond milk for breakfast

 Then a Monster

 Lunch was my new favorite salad: greens, black beans, corn, cheddar, carrots, beets, avocado, cucumbers, tomatoes and balsamic vinegrette.

 around 1p I had the rest of my stash of russian cabbage soup (I had froze when my mom made it for me).  This stuff is so good.  Thank you Mom for being such an amazing soup maker - what's next? :)

 I had a banana around 4p and when I left work, I called hubby to ask him to put the frozen broccoli in the crock pot.  Rewind to this morning...as we were running around, I asked DJ to put some chicken breast in the fridge with a bottle of marande sauce and put it on low...I really thought it would be a fun experiment and YUMMY...it was going to be like a stir fry without the stiring and frying. Back to 5pm tonight...he called and said there was a minor problem...the chicken was BLACK!  WHAT?!?!  Did you put it on high or low?  "Low".  Did you put the jar of sauce in the crock pot? "Yes".  Guess that means we're going out for dinner tonight?!?!  LOL

We went to Cracker Barrel b/c logistically it makes the most sense.  I got the apple chicken salad and it was OK...the best part is the half blueberry muffin that was on the plate...Mmmmmmmmm

 I only ate about half of it and didn't eat the cheese b/c it was a wierd addition to this salad...but I guess when you go to cracker barrel you should expect cheese right? 

When I got home he was right...the chicken was black and there was sauce in the pot (I can't verify, however, if he really set it on low or not...but does it really matter?)  The worst part??  The house smelled REALLY REALLY BAD!!  I need new candles...I ended up lighting a christmas candle just to help combat the smell...Oh well, it is much better now.

After cleaning up this mess...this cookie ended up getting eaten by me - no idea how that happened :/.  I can't wait for these to be gone and there is NO way we are buying them again...NO WAY!

I'm taking tonight off from running/walking b/c I want to.  No excuses, I just don't wanna do it.

I am exhausted so I think I'll go to bed early
