Tired Tuesday

Last night was definitely not the best night I have had in a long time. It was the total opposite.

I had braxton hicks contractions all evening and my lower back was very achy. I was very tired from them and it just was not my idea of fun.

Mr and I made my homemade chicken noodle soup together. It was so nice of him to help me make it since he knew I wasn't feeling good from the braxton hicks. He did the majority of the putting it together, I cut the veggies and the chicken when it was done blanching. We made a double batch and the only thing big enough was the crock pot. So we tried it out...

Total fail. It was on high setting for hours and the veggies were still crunchy. So I added the egg noodles and I have no idea what happened but they overcooked and it just tasted awful. Very inedible. So we were both starving and frustrated about that because we had waited hours and hours, anticipating a huge bowl of delicious soup...just to be disappointed because the noodles didn't cook right. 


Then I offered to go get us some fast food since it was already 9 pm and neither of us had eaten. I went to my car and there were 3 little bugs (I have no idea if they were roaches or some other kind of bug) on the passenger seat. I was definitely not going anywhere! So Mr made himself some chicken fries and I just went to bed. The braxton hicks had me exhausted and I was just too drained physically and emotionally to eat anything. It was really upsetting that the soup was ruined too, since we had waited for such a long time last night and then couldn't even eat it.


This morning after I took Dillon to school I waited a bit, ate my pop tarts and water for breakfast and then went to the cafeteria. I helped him make his mock Gingerbread House...which I ended up doing all of the work! He did put one marshmellow on the outside though. He was just more interested in eating the fruit loops and pretzels. Then when it was time for me to go, he cried. Of course I felt awful but it was nice seeing him for a half an hour. He was so excited when I came up behind him and he saw me before we started the project!! It was nice being involved with his school stuff :)


When I got home I got down to work. I detailed the entire inside of my car to try to figure out why I had seen those bugs last night. The car wasn't messy because I had picked up the receipts and empty water bottles days before. It did need a good vacuuming and wipe down though. So I took out all of the stuff from the back seat, just two bowling ball bags, a pair of old shoes that were Dillon's and a few other empty bottles that were hidden. I found a single french fry under the passenger seat in back from Dillon having dropped it at some point. So I am now 100% sure that the bugs aren't in my car due to lack of cleanliness because in the past (since living here) there have been more fries on the floor and there have never been bugs in the car. If they were a different kind of roach, they I am thinking they are from the garbage can outside the garage which is next to the front of the car in the driveway. When I finished cleaning the car out, vacuuming, wiping and even vacuumed the trunk...I sprayed some Lysol fabric freshener on the floors. I like it better than Febreeze because it kills germs too! So hopefully I don't see any more bugs in my car...I have no idea why they were in there or where they came from. 


Now I am relaxing for a while...I figured I'd write since I didn't really have a good night last night and I'm now in a better mood and having a better day. In about an hour I am going to go to the store and get all new stuff to remake soup again this evening. But definitely making it on the stove! I also might go to Target and get a larger pot than the big one we have so I can make another double batch, but successfully this time.


Mr works tonight and tomorrow night and after the botched soup last night...I am certain he will love some fresh, correctly made soup tonight at work!! I know I am looking forward to it.
