Why is it that we (meaning I) are able to get more done when we have more responsibility? Discuss. No, really. The commenting on this blog (or lack thereof, people) has been pretty depressing lately, and my self worth is directly proportional to the number of comments I get on each post. So do us all a favor and please help keep me happy and relatively well-adjusted.
Anyway, back to the topic at hand.
When Mike's at home, I feel like half the time I'm running around like a chicken with my head cut off. But when he's out of town for work, a sense of calm comes over me and I am able to clean my home, prepare meals without crazy mini-stress meltdowns, run extra errands, do parties, and stay pretty patient with my kids. It's a miracle!
Is it a bad thing, though, to realize that I keep making the kids the same meals twice a day? I made a menu on Sunday, and I keep realizing (as I set their chicken nuggets or tortilla pizza in front of them at lunchtime) that the reason these lunch ideas probably popped so quickly and easily into my head... was that I had just recently glanced at the menu on the fridge. Chicken nuggets and pizza twice in one day never HURT anyone... right? Way to go me!
(Seriously, I'm pretty impressed that I've kept it together so well this week. Gold start sticker for Anna.)

Two gold stars, because you've accidentally discovered that when kids decide they love grilled cheese sandwiches or chicken nuggets or applesauce or whatever, the solution to mealtime is to give them ONLY that for at least a whole week.
You're brilliant.
Well, I'm here and you gained a fan in my son the other night. He thinks you're swell. ;)
