My Pinterest Fail

So, I'm currently doing the "Pinterest challenge" that I extended to myself... try to do one "pin" a week.

So, I tried this recipe I pinned, and it prompted me to make a new board called "Recipes I tried and my family did not like LOL"   (It can be found here: http://pinterest.com/nbkatie/recipes-i-tried-and-my-family-did-not-like-lol/)... at the moment, the recipe I'm going to write about is the only one in there.

This is literally the description that was written on the pin:  According to Pinners: THE WORLD'S BEST CHICKEN. Others have called it, “So Good it Can’t Be Described, Explosion on Your Taste Buds Chicken. so, so yummy and easy.

Well, I'm here to say, it is NOT the world's best chicken.. well, at least at my house.  I have a picky husband and daughter.... so I was skeptical as it was.  It was very strong tasting... not my cup of tea.   Maybe your family will like it.  Not mine.

Want to challenge me on this?  Comment!  :)

Ok, I'm still judgemental...

I'm trying, I really am, but when I have a bad day, I find myself being judgemental.

Judgement of the day?

I take my daughter to swimming lessons.  After the lessons, I take her in the shower area to clean her up.  Tonight, I saw something that has been happening frequently.  There's a lot of kids in the shower area... lessons just ended... the parents are around holding towels, etc.  I am one of those parents.  So, it's a lot of people in this small area.  I look over, and there's a young girl, maybe 3 or 4 years old, she has 3 adults hovering around her.  One is holding a towel, one is holding the shampoo and helping the little girl wash her hair and the other is standing there and chatting.

Meanwhile, they are taking up so much room I am pretty much shoved in to the shower with my little girl as I'm trying to give her a towel.  Why does this little girl need such an entourage?

Now, non-judgemental me should think that maybe something happened before that makes them overprotective.  But instead, I judge and become annoyed that they are all in there.

Don't judge me.

Oh who am I kidding... I would judge me, so go ahead.
