I can throw together dinner fast, heat up some pasta or grains with some frozen veggies, or heat up some pitas with hummus, carrots and falafel. I can put together a good breakfast for us in a minute or two, which is so nice! The two of us can sit at the the table and eat a good meal that took me 5 mins to throw together. We don't have a whole lot of time Mon-Thurs when we get home from school, so it helps that we have this time together, and I can take lunch to school this way, and throw a pb & j in my bag for the peanut to eat on the bus with out a lot of rushing around in the mornings. The packaged food does come in handy, sometimes we just heat up Trader Joe's frozen latkes and call it a meal with some apple slices! It doesn't matter really, as long as we get the time to eat together! I can't imagine how crazy things must be with Rob gone! You guys can come up here some weekend, let the kids play and hang out with me, after bed time, we can commensurate in our single mama-ness over some wine!Stefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16433454925157098903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1348024911170290265.post-7169476277223848732011-01-24T16:20:00.657-06:002011-01-24T16:20:00.657-06:00oh, they're never at our house too long....if ...oh, they're never at our house too long....if we have something to do I kick them out but otherwise we love having them!!the sandwich lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00881704107781311572noreply@blogger.com
