I am again, tired. It's been a busy week. Surprise, surprise. I have a busy weekend to come. When it came to thinking about dinner...at 5pm mind you...it was decided to head to Wendy's instead of cooking. Wendy's was my husband's request. As the Mother of the Year I obliged to the idea of not cooking tonight.
Dinner is the bane of my existence lately. We have a house full of extremely picky eaters & my husband is the worse of them lately. He has a completely new appetite due to his diabetic medication. And it has made dinner time extremely hard. My sister-in-law made these awesome recipe books for us for Christmas. I love it!! (Thanks again Ren!) When planning meals for the week I referred to said book. I thought I'd try a couple of new things that were very basic & more than likely safe. Nothing is safe anymore at our house.
I was proud of myself for planning ahead & I've only gone to the store once so far this week. Normally I'm their at least every other day. I'm not good at planning ahead. Today, however, was not my day. As said before - we got Wendy's. After eating my husband tells me,"Thanks. That was good. That was the best thing you've cooked all week."** Yeah - he loves me!!
Maybe someday I'll be on the ball & can plan really well. Upon doing so, also be able to please my family since someone will not like whatever I make. Dinner always ends up with at least one person being upset with what I make. Or maybe I'll get really lucky & I'll be able to afford a chef. HA!! Either way would be nice. I dread dinner!!! If anyone has any grand ideas - I'm all ears. We need help.
**My husband did say that with a laugh. He dreads dinner as well since nothing ever sounds good to him anymore.

I know what you mean about Erik not really wanting anything to eat. Last year we would be at a school and it would be 1:00 and we'd have left at 7:00 or earlier. I/We would be starving but Erik wouldn't be hungry and didn't really want to stop. Sometimes he'd stop and I'd get something but not him and it would be weird to be eating alone. It was very frustrating. LOL!
I feel your pain. Any opportunity to eat out, I jump at it.
Remember me, the cassarole queen? But just think, someday, all too soon you will only have Erik to please, and then you just let him fix it himself!! There is a season to all things:) Love you!
Uh Oh, I've been wanting to have you guys over for dinner but now I'm nervous! We really should plan a BBQ in the park by our house and you guys and the other Parkinson's should come. I can't believe we've been here almost 2 years and haven't seen you guys! Let's make it soon!!!
I totally feel your pain. I hate dinner. And I understand what Erik is going through, my diabeties medication had made my stomach so sensitive I can hardly eat anything. Good luck!
