"SPIT!!!"....this is the answer my mother would give me as a child when I asked her least favorite question, "What's for dinner?" I always felt that she was a little bit melodramatic with her answer. In MY mind...this was not a hard question and quite frankly, it was her job! Now, as a stay at home mom...I GET IT!!!!!!
Now, let me be the first to admit that my meals are generally not very exciting. They often repeat themselves....they need work. I have noted it and on occasion I even try new things (that never turn out to be success stories). It's not that It's hard for me to come up with something for my family to eat for dinner. It is simply that I don't want to hear the barrage of complaints when it is not exactly what one or all of the other people in my family is in the mood for! I have a problem that many stay at home parents in my shoes probably have too. I have 1 child who eats nothing, 1 child who will eat pretty much anything I give her and 1 husband who eats delicious lunches everyday with which my food will never compare in a positive way. BUT...the job of dinner is mine.
So, as I prepare a dinner and the famous question is asked of me and it's answers are met with moans, groans and rolled eyes and when my husband meets my answer of "taco pie" with a look that says, "you stink at this job"? What do I REALLY want my answer to be?..."SPIT!!!"
