Mysterious Ways

If you don't believe in God quit reading right now; otherwise sit back and get ready for a chuckle at "His Mysterious Ways".

So, it was quiet in my house today; all my children are in lock down (aka grounded). And because it is so quiet I can think and remember a few things. Only a few mind you, I put a load of laundry in the washer and forgot about until I was getting ready for bed.

Which was actually a few hours ago, but I could not sleep so I decided to get up and be productive =-)

Back to my story; about 1:30 in the afternoon I go in and get dinner started, gonna show my sweet hubby just how much I love him. Cut up the meat, brown the meat, chop the vegetables, throw everything into the crock pot. Clean up the kitchen and pat myself on the back, "What a wonderful wife and mother I am".

Then I go and work on my real estate renewal hours (I did 9 hours and am really proud of myself, because I was able to stay focused and complete them, even with Facebook sending out it's siren call).

At 4:30 I go into the kitchen to check on my wonderful dinner, only to discover that when my sweet hubby was helping in the kitchen last night he unplugged the crock-pot. I had checked the tempature but not whether or not it was plugged in. After all why put it away just to take it back out again (kinda like making the bed). So now my sweet hubby is home and needs to leave in 1 hour to go on an appointment. Panic, what do I do, what do I do???? I have to surprise him with the wonderful home cooked meal. Think, think, think.

Pressure Cooker!!! Thank you my dearest mother in law for giving that to me. Dump everything from the crock-pot into the cooker. Set it up and go visit with my man while he is changing for his appointment and catch up on the day. And thank him for his contribution to this funny story!

25 minutes later he needs to eat and head out the door. Let's check.....it is done!!!! Yippee!!!

What you may be thinking does that have to do with "His mysterious ways"? Well I was reminded at the perfect time of a quick, no fast, way to make dinner. Most importantly with summer upon us in Arizona, without heating up the kitchen :)

So that is my story. Hope that you enjoyed it. My family really enjoyed the meal.
