I got paged for work 3 times, a hour apart throughout last night... Starting at 11:30. So I'm dragging today. Productivity is running low but I still got some things done this morning before work.
I had two large crock pots running all night on low and about 10 pounds of chicken.
This morning, I had another hot soupy mess, but this time I didn't spill... much...
and it could actually pass for soup.
I pulled out the chicken and it's cooling in the fridge, waiting for me to debone it this afternoon.
Looks gross, huh? Trust me... It looks better in black and white.
The broth is roughly 2 gallons and I strained it and the liquidy goodness is cooling in the fridge until I can skim the grease off easily. Then I'll freeze it in smaller portions.
Meri has the day off from school, so I'm taking the afternoon off from work. After Leon gets home from preschool and a nap, we're going to see a movie. I'm hoping Hotel Transylvania 2, as I really want to see that. Meri does too. Unfortunately Ryan already took Leon to see it, so I'm going to have to talk Leon into seeing HT2 again.
Here are some of my techniques.
"I really want to see that vampire baby! Does it fly"
"no."
"But wait! I saw a preview where the Grandpa tosses the baby from a tower to teach it to fly! Are you sure it doesn't fly? Does the baby hit the ground??!"
"no."
So you see, it's a work in progress. And I think I may have killed the movie for you. or Leon is just lying to me so I will want to go see Peanuts instead. I wouldn't mind that, except Ryan wants to take him to that next week...
I've got a lot of stuff lined to do this weekend. Here's hoping I can fit a nap in.
Wow, a nap would be good...

If I remember little kids Leon's age correctly they love to see the same movie over and over and over and over(ad nauseum)again. I don't think he'll take much convincing and there is always the fool proof bribe of popcorn or candy at the movies too. ;-)
I'm wondering what it would look like if I had to get up in the middle of the night to do computer things? Not pretty, I'm sure. Kudos to you! I think we're going to hit the Peanuts movie soon.
If you went to Peanuts instead then Ryan would have to deal with the fallout of Leon seeing it twice instead of you! Great idea huh? Or....you trade Leon in for another kid at the movies who does want to see Hotel Transylvania 2 :) There my work is done!
