Dinner

When I got up this morning, I took frozen boneless, skinless chicken breasts out to defrost. Of course at that moment, I guess I had lofty thoughts about cooking dinner after work. At different points of the day, the chicken would cross my mind. And I found myself thinking about how I would pound them thin and make wonderful chicken parmigiana with them. I also fantasized about some pasta to go with them. By the end of my workday, I felt a headache creeping over me. When I arrived home, my son Sean said he noticed the chicken on the counter and wondered what I had in mind. Unfortunately, I told him, that I had a headache and was very tired and had going out to dinner in mind. Then my husband came in and told me about his day of playing with the pool & buying stuff and I also noticed he got a haircut and was drinking a beer. He walked in the kitchen and said "What happened to the chicken?" I said that I didn't feel like cooking. He asked me if HE could make the chicken. I said "Do you know how to make the chicken?" He, of course, said "No." Then he went back outside and then came in and asked me why I wasn't sitting out back with him. He said the sun was coming out & it was getting nice out and I should relax and have a beer. I said I didn't feel like sitting outside. I'm tired from working all day! And I have a headache! And I'm hungry! So he went back outside and I don't know what he plans on doing for dinner. But when my son, Ryan, gets home from work, I plan on going out to dinner with Sean & Ryan. My son Richie has class until 9pm. Usually, when I say it's time to go out to dinner, my husband will act very annoyed with me and say that he doesn't feel like going out & he'll say he'll just eat leftovers of all the food I cooked the last couple of days. And that's OK, because I will enjoy a nice meal prepared by someone else, a couple of nice mixed drinks and then a cappucino for dessert. But in a surprising twist, my husband just came back in & asked me did I want to order something to be delivered for dinner or order something for him to pick up?!?! I said I would like to go to Double-O for dinner & use the gift card we had. He said, "Wow, that sounds like a great idea." Now I have to figure out why he's so chipper today! Anyway, one day I would love to come home from work to discover that someone in my house decided to cook dinner for me. That would be lovely. But in the meantime, Double-O will be lovely tonite.
