Food glorious food!
Jan. 4th, 2007 04:30 pmAfter a long day in the office yesterday, I got home at about 8-30 to find C in a miserable mood; the food she’d ordered from the Thai take-away place had not turned up, despite 90 minutes of increasingly hungry waiting. As a result, Carole was in a “bad mood” and sat in the middle of the floor & demanded to be fed. Immediately. A quick search through the cupboards revealed food – but nothing that C & I wanted to eat. As such, we went to the extremely expensive train station micro-supermarket & got instant microwave meals. Expensive, high tech, tasted ok & definitely wasteful – but it soothed the savage wife as she was fed in a matter of minutes. Tonight, however, we counter the root of the problem; as we got back so late on Sunday night (Monday morning actually) we’ve been running around unable to get any essential organisation done– from going shopping, to ironing shirts, everything has been just slightly beyond us as time is short & year-end is in full swing. But for no longer! Tonight – we shop!
In other news, I have to say that Caroles idea of “one week after” is quite a sensible one; essentially, for the first week in January, despite your resolutions, there is no point in sticking to a diet in a house full of the remaining sweets & goodies that have been left over from Christmas. It irritates me to have bought / been given all that food & then work on the assumption that you’ve got to throw it out simply because someone has flipped a calendar. As such, we’ve agreed that we’re starting the new years resolutions next week, after we’ve managed to shift the mounds of chocolate, cakes, sweets, biscuits etc that happen to be in our house.
Incidentally, the irony of having “no food” in the house and “lots of sweets” is not lost on me – but there are only so many sweets I can eat, and sometimes I just want to eat a proper meal.
