Eggs!

Today was one of those days. It was the kind that you think, "Maybe I should not have gotten up today." First off, my son, who has autism, is trying to get back into the rhythm of life after being on vacation for a few days. We had a new therapist at the house and he was not too keen about her. Not to help the situation was the fact that she is new at this type of work and she had no control over him. After an hour of her he was ready to kick her out the door and 45 mins before she was scheduled to be finish, she told me they were done for the day and then proceeded to play video games on his new computer for the remainder of her time. Annoyed by her lack of drive to help my son and her inability to control him I did not say anything and went about trying to clean my house. Later I got an email stating that this chick was going to be a new regular at my house. NO WAY!! I put an end to that right away. They better never send her to my house again. She is a waste of time and money all around.

Potty training today was a bust. I almost gave up. My 2 year old cried most of the day and stated several times that she did not have to, nor did she want to go potty. I cleaned my hardwood floors several times today. Thanks to my lovely daughter I have a new appreciation for my Shark steam mop and my lovely Kenmore vacuum. Basically by 5pm we had only 1 success for the day. Horrible! Maybe (it better be) it will be better tomorrow. We will have to wait and see.

Then there is my wonderful, screaming 5 year old, who lived up to her glory as the princess of the house today. Sometime I feel like a servant in my own house. She barked orders and demands most of the day and when she was not, well she was crying or causing someone else to cry.

By dinner time I was exhausted to say the least. My husband was home after inspecting 2 properties for the day and is already back up for the week. I was tired and decided I better feed these kids and my overworked husband so that bedtime might arrive sooner. I opened the refrigerator to find ... NOTHING! It was looking like a cold cereal night to me. Then I saw that I had 3 dozen eggs that I needed to use. So, I decided to do something for me at that moment. OMELETS!!! Late last night I flipped on a Julia Child show where she was teaching about omelets. It was really neat to watch and I wanted to try it out. Needless to say we had wonderful omelets for dinner tonight thank to the lesson I received from Julia Child last night. They were so good that my picky girl even ate them. My husband had 2 and I was thrilled to have a good dinner. According to my husband, Ryan, they were no leathery at all, rather they were soft and very tasty. (We love food in our house!!) I was very proud of my accomplishment.

So today sucked for the most part, but I can make omelets. Not just any Omelet, but a beautiful, decadent, French omelet. So I am grateful for eggs today. I will have to take some pictures next time I make them. They were truly exquisite.
