Oops!!!!

I had a big OOPS last night. Hey, it happens to even the best of us!! :D So here's the story...I made Chicken & Dumplings yesterday in the crock pot. After the girls and I got done eating it was really close to their bed time so we did stories and such and I got them to bed. I decided to clean up the kitchen briefly and then sit and relax. I was super tired from not getting much sleep lately and fell asleep before 8:30. All through the night I kept waking up and smelling the chicken... Every time I would think "Just get up and throw it out." Finally, around 3am, Kevin called me to say goodnight as he was finishing up some work in Fargo. At that point I decided to just get up and clean that pan out so it could soak. As soon as I went to stick the pan in the sink I figured out why the smell had been so strong. I LEFT THE POT ON ALL NIGHT!! My once wonderful meal was now crusted to the sides and (literally) almost hard as a rock. LOL HAHAHAHA~~ I had to laugh because, well, it was just funny at 3am. At that point Ellie came out because she had to go to the bathroom, Emma woke up, etc. so it wasn't until about 4am this morning that I could stick that (still very hot) pan in the sink. Oops!!! I wanted a new crock pot anyways...Depending on how it looks when I get home this may just be the excuse I was looking for!
