F!@#$ing Dinner Again

DAILY SNACK

It’s not that I dislike cooking.
In fact, I’ve been known to have half-decent results.
It’s the wielding of sharp knives and hot stoves,
While trying to fend off shrieking toddlers and avoid slipping on the trail of hot wheels winding their way across the kitchen floor.
It’s the tears and the tantrums and the ever-more-urgent need to get dinner on the table NOW.
It’s doing all that and needing it to be wholesome and nutritious and preferably from scratch.
Because you wouldn’t dare give your child anything prepared.
Heaven forbid.
And then it’s the dishes.
The dishes and the pots and pans and spoons and cups and little tiny snack bowls and the tupperware drawer that’s been emptied all over the floor.
Again.
And THEN, today,
It’s the sugar bowl that was upended and somehow wound up spewing sugar over every surface of my pantry.
Every surface.
So thanks for the tips Food Network and assorted food blogs and magazines,
But the cooking is the easy part.
