Busy Day FAIL

So, I had BIG plans for my day! I should have known, being a Monday and not getting to my java until around 8am (even though I was up at 6:30) that I wouldn't accomplish it all. :/ I feel as though I failed miserably. Let me back up. I wake up, earlier than I had planned because of a certain adorable little boy. So, I am up & snuggling peacefully on the couch with my lil man. I really needed to go potty & fix my coffee, but I was loving the cuddle time. As I sat there I thought of all the things I wanted to accomplish. I had a load of laundry to get done, I had several loads to be folded & put away. I needed to get back to my freezer cooking, I feel like it's been a while. So, once Isaiah decided he had enough cuddling & was ready fore breakfast, I finally got around to fixing my coffee. Well, there was a diaper change in there, the girl I babysit had been dropped off, I saw Faith off to school.... etc. etc. So, I start sipping my coffee, get a load of laundry going, decide to make some corn dog muffins I saw on Pinterest recently.

 Going pretty good at this point. I've unloaded & loaded the dishwasher. Gave hugs to my brother in-law & his family as they stopped by on their way outta town & back to DC. Then I thought about how I have leftover walnuts from a dessert I made last week. So, I sought to the internet to find a recipe for candied walnuts. Most recipes called for a candy themometor. So, I did what I always do when I have a question. Call MOM! :) She loves this. I know it. **rolls eyes** Mom gives me a tip on knowing when they sugary mixture has come to a "soft ball"consistency.  So, as my sugary mixture is boiling I begin to panic that I might burn it, so I remove from heat & sir in the vanilla & walnuts & set it out on a plate to cool. That was HOURS ago, & mine are still gooey. oops. But, they do taste yummy!

I also had some frozen veggies, hamburger meat, noodles & a big can of tomato juice to be used, so I decided to make a veggie beef & noodle SOUP. apparently the noodles didn't know I wanted SOUP because while I let the soup sit & cool before bagging up in freezer bags, the noodles absorbed all the broth!!! rrrgh. Was not expecting that. I should have know better, but it is Monday! 

As for the laundry, well, the load I put in the wash made it to the dryer & when Mikel came home & asked me to find a shirt for him, I realized that somehow about 15-20min into the drying the door had come open on it's own (stiff baffles me) and so the clothes were still wet. All the huge pile that needs folded, well, it will be awaiting me still. I made the mistake of sitting down earlier to breath a little & never got to it. 

Well, take another sip of java & move on! It's Monday & it ain't getting any better!
