The craigslisters haven't come back since Tuesday, unfortunately, but I did cook dinner tonight. This time I had the lemon pepper, which is tasty. I'm not too happy with the potatoes; they are missing something, but I wasn't quite sure what. I never use a recipe when I make mashed potatoes, and maybe that's my problem. Oh well, I'll keep trying. I usually add garlic or garlic powder, but I skipped it this time to avoid the after taste. That could have been what was missing...

We are babysitting our nephew tonight. I got home, cooked dinner, and DH came home shortly after it was ready. My nephew (let's call him DN) was fussy during dinner, but we got him to eat with some patience and bribery. I feel like I just worked for 12 hours. Man, kids are tough. My boss has 4 kids, so I can't imagine what she must feel like. I'm sure it's different when they are your own kids, but still.
