Ha! Who am I trying to kid? Working mom of two... By the time I got home tonight, I just wanted to put on my sweatpants, a comfy t-shirt, and call it a day. A nap would have been nice too, but that isn't happening. So, I am now lounging on the couch, blogging, eating supper, and watching some train-wreck of a show on tv. Even my 9 year-old is sitting at the table, eating, telling me, "Really, Mom? This show is very inappropriate..." Eeehhh... you gotta do, what you gotta do to make it through the day!
On to supper... Creamy Beef Stew served over Cheesy Grits. I am not going to say that it is the most appetizing looking meal that I have ever made, but it is nice and warm and on cold days/nights like we have been having, a bowl of this warms you from the inside.
