QUICK VENT (skip to the end if you just want to know what I made): I made a grocery list and dh was going to go grocery shopping for me yesterday day (he works from home). He didn't get everything on the list bc he was talking to his mom and chicken breasts were $2.74/lb and she said oh they are $1.99 lb at Meijer so he didn't get any as well as some other items. Fair enough - except this is the man who buys a $6 coffee on his way to a soccer game. Skip your next fancy coffee and get the chicken I need for dinner. . .I was also missing pita bread for the falafals and beef for the pasta. I only planned 3 easy meals this week bc we r busy and ds and dh leave Thur for a tourney. And dd and I are easy and we don't need meat for meals. But I was short an ingredient for each meal . . . So dh ran out and went to Meijer and got the chicken and the beef (both were indeed on sale for a good price) and the pita breads while I made the falafal balls. So I guess I am not mad at him afterall. Ok . . . except . . .but what really bugs me and those of you who followed along with allllllll the MIL drama over the years. . . what his mom says is golden, ya know? ... I hang onto the fact that 1. She loves my family that i love and she is a great Grandmother to my kids. and 2. After my dads passing Im come to appreciate that our time together is limited so try and not get annoyed and let dh enjoy his mom while she is here. Ok, NOW I'm really not mad at him anymore. I feel better.

Congrats if you made it through that nonsense and if not - no worries - short story: I did falafals last night for dinner.
