It all started going down hill at dinner time

I made my kids their diner tonight and then started mine. I used the last 4 pieces of cheese to make my grilled cheese sandwich. My son was working on his art lesson and I thought we could complete the online questions at the end quickly while my grilled cheese cooked. I should know by now never to step away from things when I cooking because I burnt my sandwiches and could not eat them. That put me in such a mood I didn't want to eat anymore at all. I texted my man and told him what happened and told him I had to make a cake for my mother and said "hopefully I do better with that". That is the point where I knew I should have stopped everything for the night but I didn't, I noticed that the pipes under my kitchen sink were leaking again and it is ruining the inside of the cupboard bottom. This happens every year I am so tired of it. I think it is because I dump boiling water down the drain all the time and have my water set high. So I made my mother a Texas Chocolate Sheet Cake I was trying out a new recipe for. I cooked in the required amount of time and the middle puffed up a little and cracked open. I checked it with a toothpick and it was done. I took it out and let it sit on top of the stove and the center collapsed. I made the frosting and when I went up open up the brand new vanilla extract I bought I noticed it had been opened already and was leaky and the contents looked off. I had to run to my sisters house to borrow 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract. After I poured the frosting over the sheet cake I tasted the batter and it was terrible. My teeth have been hurting all day because I haven't worn my bite guard in the two nights my man spent the night. The neuromas in my feet are hurting as well so I am hobbling around on my heel trying to keep the weight off the pad of my foot and toes. I am going to do something Christmas shopping online for my kids and I hope I get some good deals. Knowing I will be buying them things that will make them happy will hopefully improve my mood a bit.

No good deals so far but I have Amazon gift card codes so the things won't cost me anything and I won't have to go shopping in a store.

Sometimes we should just sit down and do nothing I think. I hope the shopping goes well.

Today my son is doing cyber school then after all the kids are home my parents, my sister, her kids and I and my kids will be going to eat a pizza shop followed by Chuck E Cheese's. Then we will come back and have cake at home I think unless we take the cake to Chuck E Cheese's with us.

It took me a long time just searching the prices of things on Amazon last night so I haven't bought anything yet. Tonight I am too tired. Hopefully tomorrow night I can get buying things.

Yes it was! Today was much better thankfully. I just got my kids to bed and am going to read for a bit. It is before 9pm and already I am so exhausted.

I wish I had just done that and went to the store and bought a cake instead it would have been a lot easier after the first problem with burning my dinner.
