Dinner on the Table at 6

Well....June really blew it this week. I am loosening up a bit......out of necesscity. I really don't feel too guilty about it either. We have our house on the market since we are moving back to Texas so it always needs to be looking clean and neat. That is not the problem....the problem is the time of the showings. I realize many people have to work so they need to come after work to view houses. We had several showings this week during the day and then 3 right at dinner time. So on Monday I met Dave for dinner out since the showing was at 5:30. Thursday a neighbor rang my doorbell at 4:15 wanting to visit. I enjoy visiting and we were talking about our impending move. Next thing I know it is 5:45 and Dave is walking through the door. Yes, we went out to eat again on a weeknight. Friday we had a showing at 6:30 but I was determined to fix dinner, eat and clean up the dishes before we had to vacate the house at 6:20. Broccoli was the planned veggie for dinner but I thought it might leave a smell so I made corn. In my rush to get everything in order I scorched the corn! Well it was rush rush to eat and clean the kitchen and run around all the rooms spraying Febreeze air freshener tying to get the schorhed smell out. So next time we have a dinner time showing......We're going out! We can get a home cooked meal (or two) at a restaurant during a weeknight and June is OK with that!
