Mom Confessions ~ Hot and Spicy

Okay so you all know I am a hot mess who can't cook. 

Well I am also a hot mess who almost killed my child. Yup that's my confession of the week. 

Okay that sounds horrible but it was an honest mistake AND I stopped it before anything seriously bad happened! 

SJ and D3 are allergic to peanuts as well as tree nuts so I only eat them when I am at work or they are gone that way they don't come into contact with them.  

Well I didn't think this week. Yup my hot mess of a self wasn't thinking. Shocker? Probably not. 

SJ hopped into the van after school and told me she was hungry. I asked if she had anything left from her sack lunch which she told me she didn't. 

I handed her my bag of my snacks, told her to be careful because it might be spicy, and turned around to pull the van out of the parking spot. 

Hot and Spicy....

Hot and Spicy PEANUTS! 

I screamed at her "Don't eat that!" 

She stopped with her mouth open looking at me like I was a crazy woman. 

Well let's be honest I am a crazy woman. 

I asked her if she ate any. She told me she didn't still looking at me like a deer in headlights. Phew! If she would have ate one we might have been in trouble! 

I asked her if she touched it. She told me she did. I asked her if her fingers hurt. She was still looking at me like I had snakes growing out of my head and an alligator mouth. SJ looks at her fingers and says "Ah a lil bit" At this point I am thinking and hoping it's the spice which she got on her fingers. 

I tell her to wipe it off and let me see her fingers. 

No swelling...

No welts...

No redness...

Boy that a close one. 

I gave her Benadryl just in case but she only has a reaction if she eats a peanut. 

Good golly! 

I wish I could say this is the first time I tried to give her or her brother something that had peanuts or tree nuts in it. It's not though...

1.) Butterfinger 

2.) Trail Mix 

3.) Crackers 

4.) Milk

All of those have never made it out of the packaging thank goodness!

Mom Confessions

Alright I have a confession to make....

I am the worst cook in the ENTIRE WORLD!!!! 

There I said it and it's out there for everyone to know! Here are my reasons why.....

1.) All I know how to do is make tacos, spaghetti, quesadillas, and tator tot casserole. 

2.) I have made more burned meals than I have successful ones. 

3.) My husband won't even let me know whether the meal is edible. He just slowly eats it. 

4.) I forget steps in recipes or mix them up. 

5.) I am one awesome sandwich maker that's for sure!!! Just ask SJ she will tell you that her Momma can make one mean sandwich. D3's favorite food is Grilled Cheese...that should say it all there!

6.) I would rather buy a pizza than make one and it is soooo simple to make one!  

7.) I get distracted by someone or something and let things cook for too long....hence the burnt meals. 

8.) I have the knife skills of a troll....do trolls have knife skills? 

9.) I have caught the cutting board on fire. Don't ask how or why I did it....it just happened. That's my story and I'm sticking to it! 

10.) My husband is a much better cook so I think I make myself worse so he would do it more....hasn't happened yet though. 

Gosh I am such a hot mess! 

I am learning to be better at cooking. I make more crock pot meals than I used to but that is okay. Pinterest is helping me come up with new ideas. I found a ravioli lasagna, taco cupcakes, baked spaghetti (in a crock pot), a beautiful honey lime fruit salad, and a few others. Look out for those recipes in a blog post it will be coming to a computer near you... 

Before you leave let me know about whether you are just of a hot mess in the kitchen as I am or if you are a 5 star chef....they have those right? See I don't even know about these kind of things.
