A bit of ambition...

For some reason I actually felt ambitious about making dinner last night! We had spinach manicotti - I did not make the pasta or the sauce from scratch, but I did the rest, which ended up making a pile of dishes to clean up afterwards. A pot to boil the pasta, a cutting board and knife, a pan for the garlic and spinach, a bowl to mix the cheeses, basil, eggs, etc., a dish to put it all in and stick it in the oven and a baking sheet for the garlic breadsticks and then finally all the dishes we ate out of. It's a good thing we have a dishwasher, but I did have to wash a lot of the stuff by hand. It was worth it though. Everybody ate it and nobody complained! And today's gourmet meal for the boys is going to be "Kraft Macaroni and Cheese". Jeff and I are having leftovers.
I met the PTSA ladies today at the Paradise Bakery for a meeting --- ahhhhh!! That means it's almost back to school time!! No!!! I don't want the summer break to end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I did have my usual yummy ham and cheese croissant w/yummy mustard. That part was very good, but now I have some work to do. I am the Room Parent Coordinator and I have yet to figure out what that means exactly -- I was told that it can be whatever I want it to be, so I have some thinking to do! I was asked to be a room parent last year and waited all year to find out what that meant - LOL! Oh well, we'll see how it goes.
Coffee time!
