I went grocery shopping for the week today and as I was standing in line, I had a moment to pause and reflect on what I was buying. The mother in front of me had a cart piled high with snacks, instant meals, soda, ready-to-bake chicken, and a lone bag of salad. I was her – minus the soda – just a few weeks ago.
I wish I had taken a picture of the things in my cart, because it really didn’t seem like enough to feed a family of five for more than a few hours. But it will. And our meals this week will be delicious and healthy. That’s exciting and, for the first time, I feel like we might just win this battle against processed foods after all.
The boys had a Mardi Gras event at the school yesterday and we headed down after rush hour to take part. For those of you who don’t know, “the school” is an online charter school that allows us to continue the feel of homeschooling, but with tons of extra support for Super A’s dyslexia. I can’t speak highly enough about them. It’s an amazing school opportunity.
