Do you ever have one of those days?
You know the one.
Where you just want to crawl back under the covers
and not emerge until tomorrow.I had one of those "not so horrible, but not so great" days recently.
First I just couldn't get moving fast enough in the morning.
My kids were almost tardy for the very first time.
Then later I opened the "busting at the seams" baking cupboard
and knocked out the sea salt.
It broke and salt went everywhere.I decided it would be better to just take a break after lunch
and rest/read for a while.
A warm cup of coffee sounded good too.
The break was just what I needed to recharge.Then I realized that if I wanted to stop at Sam's Club BEFORE
getting the kids from school, I needed to go now.
The coffee got poured into a travel cup and I headed out the door.I made it about a mile down the road
and started taking a sip of my delicious coffee...
only to find out that I didn't close the lid all the way.
Seriously???Yea, warm coffee now is all over my shirt and my jeans.
AND I was going to run into Sam's Club.
Perfect!It is going to look like I wet myself.Thank goodness we always get too many napkins from restaurants...
they were my saving grace.
I blotted and drove, drove and blotted.
And fortunately the jeans were dry enough to not be noticed...at least that is what I am telling myself:-)

in their Halloween buckets so you can make these.Or just go to Target and get a big bag of them for yourself!Either way, you will be thanking me for such

I hear ya! I was heating up veggie soup in the mirco this AM to send with my kid on her field trip and the entire thing spilled over in the microwave. At least it wasn't on me, but it's just something else to deal with when getting the kid out the door to school!
That Cheesecake looks like it'll make everything better!
Brandy K
Ohhhhh yeeeaaah! These little cheesecakes look sooo good. Thanks so much for the recipe and great idea. Now, when I snag all the good candy bars from my kids' trick or treating loot, I'll have a plan. I'll tell them it's for a good cause. 🙂

Yesterday I spilled coffee all over myself in the car as well!! Monday I dropped a dozen eggs on my wood floors. Talk about something hard to clean up, I know I once read there is a trick to cleaning up eggs, I can just never remember what it is when the moment hits!
Wish I had one of these cheesecakes yesterday 🙂

sprinkle salt over the eggs and they will gell then wipe up after a few mins....
