What's for dinner?

K so as many of you may recall, I am not a serious collector of "kitchen gadget's" it only took me 2 week's to find the perfect "glorified popcorn popper" (microwave thingy) which I do on occasion remember can do things other than pop corn!
Well, awhile back one of my sisters bought me the handiest "pot" it had a lid with bunches and bunches of holes in it, and it locked into place on the pot so you could drain your pasta's and such with out spilling. I loved that darn thing, but when you need to conserve space "luxuries" are the first to go! Little did I know how lazy I had become, how my skills had been weakening.
Tonight, I thought stroug-an-off (sorry, but spell checker is just not guessing right!) sounded good for dinner.
I cooked the meat that I found on "quick sale" sauteed the onions and mushrooms, added the mushroom soup and sour cream, and then came to noodle disaster! I cooked them just right, placed the strainer in the sink and swoosh, NOT ONE NOODLE landed in the strainer! What's worse the strainer was positioned just right to act as a plug for the sink so the boiling water just sat there being hot and in the way of the noodle rescue.
So..... What's for dinner?

Life.

I accepted the fact long ago that I could plan all I wanted, but what would benefit me most was flexibility and a decent attitude!
I was diluted thinking that my children would grow up, hate there parents like most teenagers do and leave. Now 28 year's in to my marriage with the youngest of my offspring 2o years old I have come to learn that I can still plan what ever I want and life will rearrange my plans for me, and yes the kids will move out, but they also move back in.
The most confusing part, they all seem to like us? Weird, I really should have paid closer attention when we dropped them on their heads!
