This Tuesday feels like a Monday

[lilyelayne]

At least the weather's nice.

On a roll this morning. I always turn the lock on the inside before closing the door & leaving. Did that. Got G in the car seat, tried to start the van, which then informed me that the keyfob wasn't in range. Which means I'd just locked my keys in the house.

No big deal, this happens, so I go to grab the spare key.

It's not there. Our friend who house sat last month must have kept it.

So I send G in through the doggie door to find my keys. He can't find the keys. He does find a piece of bread, and then refuses to come back outside until he finishes it. So I'm locked out of the house, the toddlebeast is locked in it, gloatingly eating his stale half a hot dog bun.

DH rescued us.

[kartish]

Wow, lilyelayne I'm glad your DH could rescue you and God! Hope the rest of your day is goes more smoothly!

Cool day here, just got back from a walk with the boys. We have company for dinner tonight so I need to figure out how to straighten the house.

[dmorgendorffer]

lilyelayne was your "On a roll" intended to be a pun, because it was a good one with the way that story ended.

Our offer on the house was accepted but since we can't close until we sell our house which isn't even listed yet they included a caveat that they will update the status to under contract but can still show the house on request. So if they do get another offer we get a chance to match it but until we have a contract on our house the deal could fall through. So now we will scramble to get our house completely show ready by next Tuesday.

lilyelayne how nerve-wracking. I'm glad you got rescued!
dmorgendorffer exciting!

Normal grocery shopping day here. I am going to make the chickpea tikka masala for dinner tonight. Wish me luck. I've never even had Indian so this a true culinary adventure for me lol.

[dreemkin]

Dinner update: it was really good! It tasted a lot like a thai coconut curry dish I've made before. I accidentally added too much coconut milk though which I think diluted the spices a bit even though I tried to reduce it back down. That ended up being okay I think because my girls don't like spicey hot. Next time I would definitely add some chicken but the chickpeas were yummy and had a good texture so I'd keep some of those in there too.

Omg we made this exact same thing this week for dinner. I felt the same way about it. Not as much flavor as I was hoping for.

[lilyelayne]

dmorgendorffer lol no that pun was unintentional. FX your house sells quickly!

[mishka29]

Speaking of food I tried a new Pinterest recipe tonight. It's called earls Mediterranean pasta. It was so delicious!!! We used bow ties bc dd1 said they were her most favourite thing. Lol

The house is painted. But of course since I left dh home with the painters it costs way more money since he decided he wanted the trim done. Ugh.

Anyway the house looks amazing. Except for the room where we took down the chair rail...didn't sand enough. You can see the big line running all the way around the room lol. Terrible. We tried. We failed.

LO has entered a phase where she takes off her diaper in the crib once she's done sleeping - morning and naps. Not loving it!

I'm just picturing you sticking your head through the doggy door trying to get DS to get the keys! Lol. Definitely stressful situation but afterwards quite comical. Glad it worked out!

[lilyelayne]

mishka29 yup I was totally on my knees talking through the dog door.

I wasn't that worried cause I had my phone and knew it was lunchtime, so DH could come let us in. His office is only 7 minutes away. Also we have a large fenced in back yard so I wouldn't have to worry about what G would do even if we had to wait.

[dreemkin]

mishka29 I've made something very similar. Mmm so good! Now I want that lol. Glad the house looks good! And oh gosh, not the diaper...I never had this happen but dd2 would be the personality to do it so I'm waiting for it.

[seamonster]

lilyelayne I think it's amazing that G would know where to get your keys. DS would be like "what keys?" And be running wild. I'll stop complaining about always needing to lock the deadbolt to lock the door now. But I understand. I had a bad habit of accidently leaving the keys in the car when we had keyless start; I'm amazed the car was never stolen.

dreemkin chickpea Tikka Masala sounds so good. H makes one with paneer that is so tasty. We cut it with yogurt for DS.
