Crazy Timing


Saturday used to always be movie night. But that was when we used to always eat chicken nuggets, Chinese takeout, or spaghetti. Then we started eating vegetables and some people started to take an hour to finish dinner. Movie night went away.


Last week we bought more popcorn and I was sure we were going to have a movie night again. But we got home from the grocery store and never thought about watching a movie together.


This Saturday we planned. Movie at 5, dinner after, then the usual bedtime routine. In order to really make this possible, I started dinner at like 3:30 in the afternoon. Somehow prepping all the vegetables and grilling chicken and boiling pasta took until almost 5. The pasta salad went into the refrigerator just before the movie, I popped the popcorn, we watched the movie, we ate dinner, Scrappy didn't fuss over the vegetables, and it was a happy Saturday night. Crazy.
