My students are ready for Christmas break. I can't say that I blame them, but we still have 2 more weeks to endure the craziness that ensued this week. I called Jack after school on my way home to see how his day was. I had left him a note on the counter in the morning to run two errands. He tossed a dish towel on it and didn't see it all day. Sigh. When I got home, I asked him if he ran the dishwasher so that I could unload it. He said, "Oh I already unloaded it. I thought it was clean." Sigh again. We rummaged through the cupboards to get out all of the dirty dishes that had been put away. That was fun.
Last night was a dinner at the pastor's house for the RHUMC church staff. We signed up to bring bread and dessert. I decided to make this chewy fudge pie that I made for Thanksgiving because I still had ingredients left over. I made it and put it in the oven when I got home from school. It got done about 5 minutes before we had to go. I took it out of the oven and we decided that I would hold it on my lap (on top of pot holders) on the way there so that it could cool and then we would put it in the plastic container when we arrived.
That already sounds like a mistake, right? Well, it was pretty well-situated on my lap on the drive there, but Jack was driving pretty fast down the main road in Richmond Hill. He didn't notice that the car in front of us was slowing down until he got closer, so he had to slam on the brakes to stop. The pie started to slide off of my lap, so as I tried to grab for it, my pinkie finger caught it. Not by the side though, but by digging in the very center of it. Did I mention the pie was just out of the oven? I started screaming because my finger was still in the pie and I was still trying to keep it from flying off of my lap and it was dark so I couldn't see anything. He pulled over and turned the lights on. I was crying, the pie had a huge hole in it, and part of it had landed on the floor of the car. Oh. my. goodness.
The pie did end up surviving and my finger was okay. It was one of those moments when I was like, "Really???" I wanted to just rewind and start again. I guess everyone has days and moments like that and luckily, neither of us were really hurt. It is slightly funny now. :)
Today has been a nice day of relaxing for me and the hubs. I got my hair cut this morning, Jack went to watch the RH Christmas parade, and we have been watching the Harry Potter marathon on ABC family. Tonight, we are going to a restaurant here in town for my school Christmas party. It should be fun. :)
That's it for now. Happiness Highlights will resume in my next posting.
