I felt really cruddy when I woke up- so feel a little justified.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17077590286438038457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16218390.post-40917845283501423342008-11-09T13:23:00.000-08:002008-11-09T13:23:00.000-08:00This is EXACTLY what I do.

Not that I only cook because I want to please my husband - - it's kind of my little reward for having to have him gone during the crazy dinner hour. The few times I have tried to cook while he is gone, I end up being frustrated because half the time my kids complain about what I have made anyway. I can't please everyone! So what's the point, if the kids don't care anyway? They LOVE frozen burritos or macaroni and cheese- so that is what they usually end up eating when I don't cook. I let them choose, then I will make my own little meal out of left-overs or a quick salad or quesadilla. Since you know he will only home 3 days of the week at dinner, you could just make a larger meal on those nights- so you always have left-overs for yourself. Good for you for simlifying your life!! There was a conference talk about that . . .Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17077590286438038457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16218390.post-62744927348926821022008-11-09T10:42:00.000-08:002008-11-09T10:42:00.000-08:00Sounds great to me.

That's kind of what I like to do for meals. We definately have nights where we finish off the left-overs, and it makes me feel good. I hate to throw away food.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16218390.post-53040891163090900452008-11-09T08:04:00.000-08:002008-11-09T08:04:00.000-08:00Sounds like a great idea.
