Erratic schedule

Here, there, and every where all day

Grocery shopping is a struggle

Lousy cook

If I had a major life overhaul, I could probably find grocery

shopping less of a struggle, could learn to cook better and make

more meals that people would actually eat, and could probably

plan a scheduled day that includes cooking and eating at our own

table.

Part of that would require actually knowing when my

husband will come home. I'm not one of those wives who says

" Be home at x:yy or we eat without you. " He earns the money

that pays for the food, the stove, the table, and the roof

over us all. So, I won't eat without him unless he's away on

business trips. And sometimes, by the time he comes home it's

total mayhem because every one is hungry. Those times it's

easier to go out or fetch pick-up.

I'm sure it's not a lifestyle that most would understand. It

shows my priorities, and food is low on the list. Home cooked food

is lower on the list than food in general.

I know plenty of other wives who DO say " Dinner is at x:yy. Be

here or make your own. " I can't do it.
