"Take out, anyone?"

So as one of my "resolutions" I want to make dinner every night. I know, it sounds simple enough, right? Wrong.

I took my kids grocery shopping (first mistake) and got everything I would need for lunches and dinners for the next week or so. Sidenote- Kent comes home everyday for lunch so my goal is to make two meals a day! It's harder than it sounds. Moving on.. I came home and made some burgers (this picture is NOT from my kitchen). Isat down with Kent and we began eating. YUCK! I bite into it and it is like rubber! Kent asks, "is it not done yet?" I said, "Take a bite and I'll tell you!" (name that movie). He tried biting into it over and over again. Nasty! Rubber! We could not bite through it to save our lives. We had a good laugh when I looked at the hamburger packaging and read it was some sort of cubed steak made into patties. Disgusting. So we decided to have hot dogs instead, I had just bought some at the store but couldn't find them in the fridge. So I went and double checked the trunk of the car to make sure they didn't fall out of the bag. I remember checking them off the list because I let Ella put them on in the cart. Wait... Ella! So I check the receipt and no hot dogs were purchased. Strike two! By now we didn't have much time because Kent had to get to a meeting in about five minutes. Okay, let's do toasted bagels and cream cheese (we are really scraping the bottom of the barrel). Our cheap little toaster does not fit bagels so I toasted them on the stove and a blueberry catches on fire! What is happening? So Kent settled for half a bagel and went to his meeting. Poor guy. Here's to New years resolutions. Had I not made that a goal, dinner would have been perfect, right. hahaha.
