Venting

So about a week ago, Travis yelled at me (I used the word "yelled" but he never really does that) and said that I needed to be more organized about making dinner. I was talking to myself in the kitchen about how I am sick of always thinking about food. I wake up and I think what will Carson eat for breakfast, then I think what should I eat--I don't really feel like anything but I shouldn't go without eating (I will say I think that because I am pregnant, but I honestly don't really skip meals... ever!) then the same thing happens for lunch and then for dinner. This is also after the day that I woke up and walked straight into the kitchen to make Travis eggs with bacon, green peppers, ham, onions and cheese and pancakes for breakfast(so ungrateful sometimes). Anyway, it made me a little mad that he said that I needed to be more organized. When in reality what I needed was for him to make a stinking decision about what was for dinner and either go buy it or make it... that didn't happen. So that night I made a menu for the next two and a half weeks (and yes one of the days hamburger helper is the menu item. I love it, so sue me) and the next day I went grocery shopping. So now for 11 nights in a row we have had a home cooked meal. Last night we went to my brother's house for gumbo and lemon ice box pie? They were soooo tasty, Carson liked the gumbo but wouldn't try the pie--surprise, surprise! But that was a planned trip so it even said "Ethan's House" on the menu. I am so proud of myself for making dinner all of these nights. Even when Travis brought home food from his parents house, I still made tacos. Even when we were in downtown Mesa on Saturday night at dinner time and Travis said we should just go to Oregano's, I said no because I was already planning on making something. I turned down Oregano's!! But I did feel much better after I ate knowing I didn't just spend $30 on a meal. It is just so nice to know what I am making ahead of time and know that I have all of the stuff for it. It also helps for lunch because we have so many leftovers and when I actually do some grocery shopping there are things in the fridge for lunch too. So I guess he was right, I needed to get a little organized and things would be easier. He could have been nicer about it, or maybe could have helped, sheesh!
