What's for dinner?

I haven’t been myself lately.  I guess I have too much going on right now.  

The kids were hungry.  “What’s for dinner?”  

Friday nights are usually family night, which consists of pizza and movies.  But these past few weeks have changed.  My hubby has been too busy with work and meetings.  So we broke our routine.  

Tonight, I didn’t feel like having pizza.  In fact, I’m sick of pizza!

Checked the freezer… pork chops!  Ugh!  Not again…!     My dad had bought us a box of pork chops and I have been making them in different ways but still…I’m getting tired of them!  

O.k.  I have beans… so I put beans on…but they won’t be ready for a while.    

I’m pretty much out of everything else and I haven’t gone grocery shopping.  I really need to make the time to do it this weekend.  

Well, it was either pork chops or fish sticks.  Hey, fish sticks… not a bad idea…!   So I put the fish sticks in the oven.  I found a few potatoes, which I peeled and put to boil to make mashed potatoes, found a can of corn… good that will be our vegetable.  There… that’s our dinner…!  Right?

Wrong!   I don’t know what happened, or what I was thinking.  But it happened within a matter of a few minutes.  I went downstairs to put a load of laundry and to check on the fish sticks.  When I came back upstairs, I realized that I had covered the potatoes with a glass cover (which I have done before, especially when I want the water to boil quicker) and what do I see?  The freakin’ cover shattered!   There were chunks of glass inside the boiling pot of potatoes and all over the stove.  I didn’t want to risk having some of it falling inside the boiling pot of beans too.  So I had to throw away both pots!  

There went our dinner!  Fish sticks anyone?
