Recipe for flunking NaBloPoMo

Ingredients:

One heaping cup of PMS
One large six month old learning to stand
Six (or more) bumps to the six month old's noggin
Six heaping cups of prodigal puppy

Instructions: mix with wild abandon

I spent a good portion of Friday afternoon in tears over unpaid bills.  I spent most of Saturday prepping for the return of the prodigal pup and then the rest of Saturday dealing with the prodigal pup.  Imagine, if you will, a dog who takes a three mile walk and still shows no signs of being tired.  I spent most of Saturday trying not to bust into tears (I blame the PMS more than anything - stupid hormonal BC makes it so much worse).

So add all that together and you have a very exhausted me on Sunday, still dealing with the dog, trying to wrangle a baby that overnight (literally) learned to pull himself into a standing position and is now pulling up on everything and, naturally, falling over half the time.  He took a random long nap Sunday afternoon, so grocery shopping got delayed so dinner got delayed.  After dinner (which I think I finished eating around 9:45pm?), I was ready for bed.  My laptop was on my bed, but I just shut it and put it on my dresser, completely forgetting to post (and not having had any time to post during the day).

My first NaBloPoMo failure - and, oddly, it's been so easy this year.  I've had no trouble having things to write about - and I had a zillion things on my mind to write about yesterday, I just ran out of time and steam to actually compose the post.  Alas.

I have a bunch of good posts coming up, though, if I do get around to writing them.  I've tried a bunch of Pioneer Woman recipes in the past week and can't wait to write about them.  And now that I'm walking the dog daily and chasing after my son (more like leaping across the room regularly to stop him from cracking his skull open), I will probably be burning more calories and can afford to eat more PW cooking!
