overwhelm is a big, nasty monster in my life and i’m happy that for now, it’s snoring somewhere in a dark corner. what has changed? i think i focus more on what’s in front of me, and try my best to realize that very little is actually so important that it can’t wait a while. that also frees me to be there when there IS an emergency.

We are challenged in a lesser way (we only have three kids under 10) by the "dinner" giant. We use our creativity and wherewithal to forge through it. Since I started battling the high blood pressure it's gotten more difficult because the healthier foods are sometimes more expensive and a little more difficult to plan and prepare. Sarah's been great and she really has a knack for keeping everybody happy! I can't imagine life with teens. I guess I better start soon! I can relate.

Well, recently, I was finding dinner overwhelming. The four kids all have some kind of practice, game or work every day and they were coming home at different hours and it was getting crazy. On top of that, trying to even choose a dinner was getting unbelievable. One won't eat pork, one will only eat chicken, two don't like beef, or this or that and I can't stand pasta. The entire first week of school I found myself hitting like every drive thru in the area several times a day...not healthy!!!!! The hubby and I planned out a bunch of meals, cooked roasts, turkeys, chicken fajitas, spaghetti, different potatoes, vegetables, etc----all kinds of stuff and froze them in individual portions in seal a meal bags. Now everyone has a huge choice for a healthy dinner and they can pick what they want. Everything is ready faster than I can get back and forth thru a drive-thru, too! Yes, it was a lot of planning and a lot of cooking, but now we cook a few things on the weekends to replenish the freezer and it's working out so well! I can't tell you how changing one thing that is really annoying you sometimes can make a big difference in everything else.... Jessica Hi Damien!
