Dinner Off

I was reading this post the other day. It reminded me of my backup. When they were here it was wonderful not cooking or having to think about it. Somedays are more overwhelming than others. Having a night off from cooking would be Nice. Why am I lying it would be Great to not have to think about dinner. Wonderful to not have yet another thing to do. Especially when you are exhausted and have been for months. When all you think about is sleep. When all you pray for is patience. When all you want is a moment. When all you need is an extra set of hands. Having the night off from someone who gets it. From someone who is going through it. My son has two friends whose fathers are deployed as well. I'm sure this will make their mothers feel like they are not alone and someone gets it. Believe me I know their mothers will feel overwhelmed at times. So I'm going to be nice and remember what that feels like. Actually I don't need to remember I'm still feeling it. I'm going to make them dinner and give them the night off. Now let me think of what to make that will taste decent. (I never said I was a good cook.)
