Why Bother?
I love the new commercial that shows a the invisible mother. Oh how many times I've felt like that. (Me and every other in the world right?!)
That reason that commercial comes to mind is because of dinners this week. Let me explain. My new work schedule worked out best for the youth program situation, and the work situation. But on a personal level I don't like it much.
I don't get home until after seven. Dinners have gotten to be a problem. Now I'll admit cooking is not my favorite chore. Not only did I not inherit my mother's gift for cooking, I did not inherit her love for it either. But after two and a half weeks of making my family eat sandwiches and cereal for dinner I felt bad. More than just bad, I felt terrible.
I decided to take a day this weekend and cook all day. Cook up dishes and dinners for each day of the week.
After a 240 dollar shopping bill - ouch! - I set to work last Sunday. I was a cooking fool. I made a lasgne, enchiladas, and so on.
So now we get to the invisible mom part. No, I'm not even complaining that no one said thank you. I'm more upset that no one is eating the meals I spent all day cooking. Yes, I know it is only Tuesday, but I am counting Sunday's pot roast. (I just had a moment of deja vu. Like I've never complained about this before.*grin*)
I felt better after my little vent. I've also come up with a solution. I'm going to save each and every one of these dinners. Freeze them. And the next time my family complains that I don't cook enough, I'll pull one out of the freezer.
They may not eat my dinner now. But after a full day of slaving over the stove they will eat them!

Oh wow that sounds so familar. Just today I asked the kids if I was invisable! I yelled for them for an HOUR to come pick up their mess & got nothing. The minute they wanted a snack suddenly mommy exists again!
